Creating BOMs
5-10: Creating and Updating BOMs
5.
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.
6.
Run /bay
dir
/dra/utils/mechbom from your /bay
dir
/dra/common/
assembly
directory.
7.
Enter the assembly (part) number and the target manufacturing plant.
8.
Review the
asembly
_proto.diff file as displayed by
mechbom
to make sure
it correctly lists the differences.
9.
Answer “y” to run
bom_upload
automatically.
The
mechbom
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.
Using xcelbom to Create an Initial BOM
The
xcelbom
script is similar to
mechbom
in that it is designed to incorporate
into the PCN and SAP databases the part information created by sites that have
been acquired by Bay Networks or have otherwise arranged to input their part
information.
This script assumes that a textual, ASCII data file has been created from a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing nine columns of standardized information
for each part.
To create a BOM using
xcelbom
:
1.
Using /bay
dir
/dra/2brel/mech/boms/xcelbom_info/
xcel_BOM_template.xls as a template, create an Excel spreadsheet with
part number, quantity, and ref designator fields:
