Windchill MPMLink: Support for Generation and Maintenance of Downstream Structure
Product: Windchill
Release: 11.1 M020
Benefit
Enables large eBOM structures to get automatically populated and maintained, letting manufacturing engineers focus on the complex or high value manufacturing strategy tasks.
Additional Details
The following enhancements are made to the MPMLink user interface to support the generation and maintenance of downstream structure:
• Generate Downstream Structure action in the middle pane toolbar: Automatically generates mBOM from eBOM. You can define a logic to transfer specific parts to the downstream structure and restructure the transferred nodes in the downstream structure.
• Propagate Upstream Changes tab in the reconciliation assistance panel: Updates the downstream structure with the latest upstream changes. You can search for the required type of upstream changes and then propagate the detected changes to the downstream structure.
• Compare Structures tab in the reconciliation assistance panel: The Discrepancy Search tab is renamed to Compare Structures. The functionality in the Compare Structures pane remains the same. To access the pane, click Reconciliation Assistance > Compare Structures on the side bar.
