Publishing Co-produce Objects
In manufacturing plants, co-produce material is one that can be used to produce different components required to build a product. Co-produce data from Windchill is published as a BOM component.
You can publish co-produce objects while publishing a BOM using the following methods:
• Set State
• Change Notice
• Send to Distribution Target
• Promotion Request
Information about the primary part and secondary parts in a co-produce is available in the Windchill ESI response. You can publish this information to a distribution target using the ERP Connector. Distribution target associated with the primary part revision in co-produce is used for sending co-produce information through the ESI response to other downstream systems.

It is not recommended to use the Co-produce feature in Windchill ESI 12.1.0.0 release and onwards. This feature is temporarily disabled as PTC is enhancing its usability. The improved Co-produce functionality will be available in a future release.
