Set a naming convention for the generated design structure

BOM engineers can generate a design structure from an engineering BOM (Usage BOM or Assembly BOM) already available in Teamcenter. You can set a naming convention for the automatically generated design structure. You can choose to:

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

OR

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

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

Procedure

1. In Teamcenter, clear the value of the Pma0_DBOM_Prefix_Suffix preference.
2. In BMIDE, open the design business object, for example, Design or B4CustomDesign.
3. In the Business Object Constants tab, select MultiFieldKey, and click Edit.
4. Add item_id to the list of selected applications, and click Finish.
5. Verify that the value of MultiFieldKey is changed to either Design{item_id} or B4CustomDesign{item_id}.
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_DBOM_Prefix_Suffix preference.

Example

A design structure generated from an engineering BOM of Wheel consisting of Rim, Valve, and Tire is named as D_Wheel with designs D_Tire, D_Rim, and D_Valve if the prefix is set as D_.

The prefix and suffix are attached to the item_id property of Design Type 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_DBOM_Prefix_Suffix as IGNORE.
