Transfer Specific Parts

To transfer specific parts using the

Generate Downstream Structure action, you need to create a custom attribute on the part or Part Usage link. After assigning a value to this attribute in BOM Transformer, the

Generate Downstream Structure action identifies the parts with matching attribute values between the upstream and downstream structure and adds the child nodes of the matching upstream part under the matching downstream part. Additionally, you can specify the types or subtypes of the parts that should be transferred from upstream to downstream.

The following use cases provide you with an insight into the working of

Generate Downstream Structure action in BOM Transformer. Apply the restructuring rules, mentioned in the use cases, in the associativity.properties.xconf file located in Windchill/codebase/com/ptc/core/foundation/associativity.

• Use Case 1: Generate a Downstream Structure Based on the Part Attribute

• Use Case 2: Generate a Downstream Structure Based on the Part Usage Attribute

• Use Case 3: Generate a Downstream Structure By Mapping Multiple Part Usage Attributes

• Use Case 4: No BOM Transformation Based on the Part Type

• Use Case 5: Generate a Downstream Structure With a Specific Structure Not Traversed Based on the Part

• Use Case 6: Generate a Downstream Structure by Mapping Two Different Usage Attributes

• Use Case 7: Generate a Downstream Structure by Skipping a Part Based on the Part Attribute

• Use Case 8: Generate a Downstream Structure by Skipping a Part Based on Two Attributes

• Use Case 9: Generate a Downstream Structure by Skipping a Part Based on Two Attributes

• Use Case 10: Generate a Downstream Structure by Considering Process Plan Allocation

• Use Case 11: Generate a Downstream Structure for Entities That Have Same Value
