Configure the engineering BOM generation

Generate an engineering BOM through a utility

You can generate an engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM) automatically from a design structure already available in Teamcenter by running the generate_ebom_from_dbom utility. In the generated engineering BOM, the newly created part occurrences are automatically aligned with the corresponding design occurrences.

If you want to generate partitions corresponding to specific design occurrences, set the Part Required field to False for those and define the criteria for partition creation.

Use the following syntax to run the utility at the Teamcenter command prompt:

generate_ebom_from_dbom -u=Teamcenter_username -p=Teamcenter_password -g=group -dbomroot=dbom_root_item_id -structure_type=part_ebom

For detailed information about this utility and its arguments, run the utility as follows: generate_ebom_from_dbom -h. The -h argument displays the help that describes each argument in detail.
