Creating BOMs
5-8: Creating and Updating BOMs
Creating an Initial Mechanical BOM
The only way to create an initial mechanical BOM is to create a mechanical
include file,
PartNumber
.
lst
, and run
mechbom
.
In the following procedure, you may have to copy data files into a subdirectory in
/bay
dir
/dra/utils/mech
. You will then run
mechbom
.
To create a mechanical BOM:
1.
Create a directory for your part or project:
cd /bay
dir
/dra/common
mkdir
assembly
For example, your
assembly
directory might be 300123-A, or 980-12345-A.
Note:
Files and directories in
/bay
dir
/dra/common
are deleted if not accessed within 20 days.
2.
Create an
assembly
.lst file with your required changes.
The format of this file is an include file that specifies the parts for your BOM.
See
Include, Change, and Depop Files
on page 5-12 for its format.
3.
If a component on your BOM requires a rev change, create directory
/bay
dir
/dra/2brel/mech/
component
.
nn
, e.g., 300123-A.01, and copy data
files into that directory to support the change.
4.
Run /bay
dir
/dra/utils/mechbom from your /bay
dir
/dra/common/
assembly
directory.
5.
Enter the assembly (part) number and the mnemonic (BNE, BNW, or
BNIRE) for the target manufacturing plant.
6.
Review the (empty) differences between the old and new BOMs and press
Return.
7.
Answer “y” to the question “Do you want to run BOM UPLOAD?”
The program runs
docmgr
or
bnw_docmgr
, from which you can run
bom_upload
, as explained in Chapter 6, which will create the PCN for your
assembly and the BOM files for EDA to upload the new part to SAP.
Downloading a .saplis File from SAP
When you use
mechbom
, you may wish to use a
.saplis
file from another project.
You can obtain this by downloading the file from SAP (or asking EDA to do it).
