How do you guys manage bulk items like loctite or tape when using repeat regions? Just curious
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
we assign it with an internal part number/spec then create a blank part with that number.
assign any parameters needed for the bom in the part
part is added to the assembly
a bom relation is written to change bom qty to AR (as required) if part number appears
example of bom relation
/*GET FIRST THREE CHARACTERS OF PART NAME
name_check=EXTRACT(bom_name,1,3)
/*CHANGE QUANTITY TO AR IF PART CODE INDICATES BULK ITEM
IF name_check=="119"
bom_qty="AR"
ENDIF
IF name_check=="M76"
bom_name="M76MWPC207A9"
bom_qty="AR"
ENDIF
/*SPECIAL CASES
IF bom_name=="M23053-5-109-0"
bom_qty="AR"
ENDIF
/* REMEMBER TO CHANGE Qty. TO
/* rpt.rel.bom_qty (rpt > rel > USER DEFINED > type in "bom_qty")
our internal number is like a telephone number, that is why we gleen the first three positions.
for MS specs, we search the name directly as shown under the special cases clause.
hope this helps
