Adding and Removing Parts in a BOM
Adding Parts to a BOM
To add a part to a PTC FlexPLM BOM, you must be in the BOM editor. Parts are added at the line item level.
1. Identify the line item in the BOM where the part is added.
2. For a new part, select the Part label from the Part column in the line item. To replace or update an existing part, do the same.
3. The Part search window opens. Enter the criteria for the parts you want to search. The search window lets you search by part name, part number, and specify the type of parts you wish to search.

4. After entering your criteria, click Search. The system finds the part instances and types that match the criteria and your access permissions in all of the Windchill contexts you are authorized to view. The search results include the parts and available revisions for the parts.
5. Select the part that you want to associate to the BOM line item. If a part has multiple revisions, only one of those revisions can be associated to the BOM.
6. After the part is added to the BOM, the part column is updated with the information for the associated part.
