Use Case 4: Usages With Different Line Numbers
You can create a variant process plan for the same usages of a part with different line numbers.
Consider that the following structure is present in the BOM Transformer:
Generic Process Plan is a process plan associated with Parent Part.
Two different usages of part Child 1 are added under Parent Part. The usages have the values of attribute Line Number set to 10 and 20 respectively.
An operation is added under Generic Process Plan. Two different usages of part Child 1 are allocated to Operation 1.
Variant 1 is the variant created from the Parent Part. For more information on Creating and Managing Variants, see Creating and Managing Variants.
Variant 1 has two different usages of part Child 1 associated with it.
Perform the following steps:
1. Open the Generic Process Plan in the process plan browser.
2. In the Structure tab of the process plan browser, right-click the Generic Process Plan and select Save As for Variant. The Save As for Variant dialog box opens.
3. In the Name field, type Process Plan 1.
4. In the Variant list, select Variant 1.
5. Click OK. The following new variant process plan, Process Plan 1, is generated by the system:
* 
You cannot create a variant process plan if the Line Number attribute values are the same, or the values of the Line Number attribute are not set. An error message appears if you try to create a variant process plan in such a scenario.
