Co-produce Object
In a manufacturing plant, the same material can be used to produce different components required to build a product.
Parts that are produced in a single production process can be put together as a co-produce object. You can create a co-produce object by selecting at least two parts from a BOM structure. One of the parts can be considered as primary, and the other part as secondary.
In the example, Material1 is used to produce Component1 and Component2. If you select Component1 and Component2 to create a co-produce object, one of these parts can be assigned as the primary part and the other as the secondary part.
 | It is not recommended to use the Co-produce feature in Windchill 12.1.0.0 and later releases. This feature is temporarily disabled while PTC is enhancing its usability. The improved Co-produce functionality will be available in a future release. The actions that are used to create and modify co-produce objects are disabled in this release. The Co-produce table is not available in the Made From tab of BOM Transformer. A property is introduced to facilitate migration of existing co-produce objects when upgrading to Windchill 12.1.0.0. For more information, see Migration of Co-produce Objects. |
