I am looking a doing a BOM update to update the Pull as view as flags for parts. This is a way for our production planners to change how the material will be used as a sub assembly or a material. I would like to have our user see the nessesarry parts they are updating. I was thinking on doing this via a updateable dashboard but not sure if the methods are available to do so. Any Ideas on doing this.
It has to be done in engineering workbench, so you have to check it out, make the change, then check it in. I use BPM’s on check out to set it based on our criteria, so we just check it out then back in right away.
I understand doing it that way. I was wondering if there was another way to do it via all parts that use that material part number.
You can do this using DMT, if you are licensed for it?
can you provide me a copy of your BPM that I can take a look at? We are currently on 10.2.300.9
I’m out of the office today, but I can get it tomorrow.
thank you sir.
It’s a data directive onthe ECOMtl table. Pretty simple really. Just a BPM Query to look at whether or not the part is stock or not (you would change this to look for whatever business rules you would have). Then just set the pull as assembly, and view as assembly fields. The solution is built with 10.2.200 so you should be able to uplift it to yours, although you should be able to build it with the screen shots pretty quickly.
could this work with your dashboard that was a mass checkout for engineering workbench we just need to set the material part that we want to update then.
Yeah, Any time something is checked out, this will run. I have a dashboard the specifically looks for the condition that these would be mismatched, and have a check box to check it out. I just check the boxes to check it out, then go into engineering workbench and approve and check in all. You could probably automate it even farther if you wanted to.
i see you have a wonderful dashboard can you send that dashboard as well? I would like to see if this will be enough for what we want.
Here’s the BAQ for that part. The rest of the dashboard is stuff you won’t need. But the hard part is done in the BAQ.

thanks again I will look at this and let you know. Thanks again for your help.
There’s this too, if you have a list that you know you need.
