Made From

The Made From table displays the Made From parts associated with the selected part. You can view the attributes of the Made From parts in the table, such as name, number, version, and so on. You can also edit the attributes, such as line number, quantity, unit, and others.

If the Made From association is tracked through a change notice, you can view additional attributes, such as the event that was triggered on the Made From association, the change notice number used to track the event, and the validity of the association. You need to customize the table view to display these attributes. In BOM Transformer, the columns available in the customized view are Event, Change, and Validity. On the information page of the finished part, the columns are named Event, Authorization, and Validity. For more information on manufacturing history, see Tracking Usage History of Made From Parts.

Use the

action to remove the Made From parts from the table. This action removes the association between the Made From part and the selected part. When you remove a Made From part, its parent part is not iterated.

The Makes table displays a hierarchy of parts that make up a finished part. The hierarchy begins from the selected Made From part and ends at the first semi-finished or finished part.

The Co-produce table displays the primary and secondary parts that are included in the co-produce object associated with the selected primary part. The table displays this information only if a co-produce object exists for the selected primary part.

A primary part is indicated using the

icon.

• Use the

action to add a secondary part in the table. This action launches the Find Object dialog box in which you can search for the required part by specifying the appropriate search criteria. You cannot add a part or a different revision of the part that already exists in the table.

• Use the

action to remove a part from the table. You cannot remove a primary part. Additionally, you cannot remove a part if the table contains only two parts because a co-produce object requires at least one primary part and one secondary part. If you try to remove a required part, a message notifies you that the action cannot be completed.

• Use the

action to delete the co-produce object associated with the selected primary part. Only Manufacturing Manager and Manufacturing Engineering Manager roles can delete a co-produce object.

Users might delete parts that are included in a co-produce object from different areas within Windchill. The co-produce object gets automatically deleted if the user deletes the primary part version, or if the total count of parts in the object falls below two.
