Use Case 2: One-to-Many Equivalent Links Scenarios
Consider that the following structure is present in the BOM Transformer:
Use the > action, in the upstream view, to create the alternate assemblies
Alternate Assembly 1 and
Alternate Assembly 2 in the downstream view. For more information, see
About Assemble Action in BOM Transformer.
An alternate equivalent link exists between Part C2 (Design) in the upstream view and Part C2 (Design) present under Alternate Assembly 1 in the downstream view.
An alternate equivalent link exists between Part C2 (Design) in the upstream view and Part C2 (Design) present under Alternate Assembly 2 in the downstream view.
The
equivalent usage status is displayed. It indicates that the equivalent usage is fully consumed.
1. Change the quantity of Part C2 (Design) in the upstream view from 4 to 6.
The
equivalent usage status is displayed. It indicates that the equivalent usage is under consumed.
2. Change the quantity of Part C2 (Design) in the upstream view from 6 to 2.
The
equivalent usage status is displayed. It indicates that the equivalent usage is over consumed.
