Set a naming convention for the generated engineering BOM

Users can generate an engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM) from a design structure already available in Teamcenter. By default, a naming convention is defined for the generated engineering BOM. You can change the default naming convention by choosing to:

• Keep the name and ID of the generated engineering BOM the same as that of the design structure.

OR

• Specify a prefix, a suffix, or both for the name and ID of the generated engineering BOM.

Set the name and ID of the generated engineering BOM the same as that of the corresponding design structure

Procedure

1. In Teamcenter, clear the value of the Pma0_EBOM_Prefix_Suffix preference.
2. In BMIDE, open the part business object, for example, Part.
3. In the Business Object Constants tab, select MultiFieldKey, and click Edit.
4. Add item_id and object_type to the list of selected applications, and click Finish.
5. Verify that the value of MultiFieldKey is changed to Part{item_id, object_type}.
6. Save and deploy the changes.

Specify a prefix, a suffix, or both for the name and ID of the generated engineering BOM

Specify a prefix, a suffix, or both in the Pma0_EBOM_Prefix_Suffix preference. By default, the prefix P_ is set as the value of this preference. You can change this default value.

For example, consider that design structure of Wheel consists of Rim, Valve, and Tire. If you set the prefix as Part_, the engineering BOM is generated as Part_Wheel with parts as Part_Rim, Part_Valve, and Part_Tire.

The prefix and suffix are attached to the item_id property of PartType specified in the Pma0_Part_Design_Type preference.

If you do not want a prefix or suffix in the item ID, and want to use the ID generated using a naming rule, set the value of Pma0_EBOM_Prefix_Suffix as IGNORE.
