Creating BOMs
PCN Process User Guide (301945-A)
Creating and Updating BOMs: 5-11
• Do not change any of the fields containing vertical bars (“pipes”).
• Do not add any headers to the columns.
• Do not add any information other than the Part Number, Qty, and Ref
Designator fields.
• Make sure that reference designators are separated by commas.
• Make sure there are no blank rows.
3.
Save the file as a text (tab-delimited) file named
PartNumber
.txt.
(See /bay
dir
/dra/2brel/mech/boms/xcelbom_info/sample_xcel_BOM.txt
for an example.)
4.
Put the file in a project directory.
5.
From the project directory, run
xcelbom
:
cd
proj_dir
/bay
dir
/dra/utils/xcelbom
This creates the usual set of BOM-related files. Of these:
•The
.profile
,
.sap
,
_avl.update
,
_changes.rev
,
_cost.lst
,
_depoped.lst
,
_leadtime.lst
,
_parts.lst
, and
_proto.diff
files are empty.
•The
_bne_bp.lst
file is a copy of the input .
txt
file. (For schematic-driven
BOM include files, this would have been generated by the schematic.)
•The .
log
file is the standard
bn_bomprocess.log
file.
•The
xcelconfig.ini
file was created by adding a few lines to a sample
config file taken from
/bay
dir
/dra/utils/mech_bn_bom.cfg
, just as was
done for the config file used by
mechbom
. These specify the report prefix
name, include file, old BOM file, and the target manufacturing site.
6.
Answer “y” to confirm that you want to run the BOM upload.
7.
When the Documentation Manager program runs:
a.
Select Option 6 to run BOM upload.
b.
Select Option 1 to request a BOM upload.
c.
Continue with the directions in Chapter 6 for uploading a BOM.
This will assign a PCN number, send email to EDA requesting the BOM be
uploaded into SAP, and will generate a PCN email notice.
