About configuring the engineering BOM generation

Users can generate a design structure from an engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM) that is already available in Teamcenter. By default, Teamcenter is configured to generate the engineering BOM in a certain way. You can change this default behavior to meet your business requirements. For example, you can change the naming convention of the generated engineering BOM or you can choose to skip certain designs so that the corresponding parts are not created.

After the engineering BOM is generated, if some updates are made to the design structure, users must update the aligned engineering BOM. By default, the engineering BOM is updated based on certain BMIDE conditions that are already set for the TCM Released release status and for parts that are not yet released. If you are using any custom release status, the parts with such release status are not updated. You can use the default BMIDE conditions to define how the parts with custom release status must be updated.
