Create BoM Structure with Global Resources

In the FACTON CMD, resources can be local resources or master data resources, e.g. a material found and inserted by a resource search specification. The search specification can be controlled by the inputs made by the user/calculator. The BoM is created after the user triggers »Complete Structure«, as defined in the CMD.

In the previous chapter (see Create BoM Structure with Local Resources) we created the material resources as local resources. Now we want to replace the local resources with master data ones. »TableTopMaterial« and »TableLegMaterial« should be master data resources which should be found and inserted by the »Complete Structure« feature based on our selection of the main material on product level.

To do so, we need the information of the »TableMainMaterial« from the cost model header level at the part »TableTop« level. For structural purpose, we insert and define a property group.

Insert and define property group »TableGroup«

  1. Select »Resource: Part - 'TableTop'« in »My Local Configuration«.

    The »Properties« view opens on the right side.

  2. Click in the Properties view.
  3. In the ribbon, click on Property Group to insert a new property group.

    Alternative: Right-click in the Properties view ► Property Group.

  4. Define the details of the property group in the Details view:
    5. Name Value
    Internal Name TableModel
    Label (en) Table Model
    Label (de) Tisch Modell
    Highlighted
    Expanded
    		  If required, you are able to define more localizations for »Label«, e.g. in French (fr), Japanese (ja) and Russian (ru) - as defined and provided by the base solution.

 

Now we want to replace the local resources with master data ones.

Define global resource for »TableTopMaterial«

  1. Select » Resource: Material - 'TableTopMaterial'« in »My Local Configuration«.

    The Item Details view opens below.

  2. Define the details of the resource:
    3. Name Value  
    Internal Name TableTopMaterial  
    Target Resource Material  
    Is Local  
    Quantity Type    
    BoM Availability Condition true [...]
    Search Specification SlotContext(TableMainMaterial.Key) = Key [...]

 

Repeat the previous steps to define a global resource for »TableLegMaterial«
