About New Split Assemblies Actions in BOM Transformer
Use the
New Split Assemblies action, available in the upstream view, to create split assemblies in downstream view from existing assemblies in the upstream view. For more information, see
Creating Multiple Split Assemblies in Downstream View from Assemblies in Upstream View.
Use the
New Split Assemblies action, available in the downstream view, to create split assemblies in downstream view from existing assemblies in the downstream view. For more information, see
Creating Multiple Split Assemblies in Downstream View from Assemblies in Downstream View.
Use Case: New Split Assemblies Action in Upstream View
You can split a BOM of a product in the upstream, into multiple BOMs in the downstream. To manufacture the BOM present in the upstream, a manufacturing engineer must assemble all downstream equivalent assemblies.
The
New Split Assemblies action enables you to efficiently manage multiple BOMs. While using the
New Split Assemblies action, you can choose the quantity of child parts or occurrences to be consumed in the downstream view. Refer the video for more details. To view the video in a larger window, click on the video title. This opens the video in YouTube in a new tab.
Key Points Related With the New Split Assemblies Action in Upstream View
The following considerations apply when using the > action in the upstream view:
The Concept of Set in Split Assemblies
• An assembly in the upstream view and its split assemblies in the downstream view are considered a set.
You can also select multiple assemblies in the upstream view to create split assemblies in the downstream view. In this case, the multiple assemblies in the upstream view and the split assemblies in the downstream view are considered as a set.
• In a set, a split equivalent link exists between the selected assemblies in the upstream view and its split assemblies in the downstream view.
• In a set, an equivalent link exists between the child parts of the assembly in the upstream view and the child parts of the split assemblies in the downstream view.
• The assemblies in the downstream view are mutually inclusive of each other.
Resolving Discrepancies in Split Assemblies
• Consider that an assembly
Axle Assembly is present in the upstream. Use the
New Split Assemblies action, avaialbe in the upstream view, to create split assemblies
Split Assembly 1,
Split Assembly 2, and
Split Assembly 3 in the downstream, from
Axle Assembly. Make changes in the assembly
Axle Assembly present in the upstream.
The Importance of Assigning Reference Designator While Using the New Split Assemblies Action
You can use the
New Split Assemblies action in usage and occurrence mode. Ideally, you should assign reference designators to all the parts and occurrences of the assemblies that you split using the
New Split Assemblies action. This helps you to split occurrences in different assemblies in the downstream side.
Actions Available in the Set Parameters Tab of the New Split Assemblies Dialog Box
The following actions are available in the Set Parameters tab of New Split Assemblies dialog box:
Action Name | Description |
Show Occurrences and Hide Occurrences | Select to display each occurrence of a part as a separate object in the Set Parameters tab. If hidden, you can determine the number of occurrences of a part by the Quantity column. |
Enable Select in Structure and Disable Select in Structure | When selected, the selected part or occurrence in the Set Parameters tab is highlighted and selected in the upstream tree structure. |
