If activated in the definition of the clone operation (Option "New Item" / "New Number" must be activated), new items can be inserted in BOM which shall be cloned. The new item can be inserted below or above the current item. The function is provided in the context menu (right mouse button).
If a BOM is cloned, only material items can be inserted, for document structures only document items can be added.
New items can only be inserted, if the relevant BOM is cloned or in a post precessing, if the BOM has been cloned. The context menu functions are only available, if the node above is marked to clone. |
When the function is selected, the required data must be entered in a dialogue:
Remark:
- Inserted items can also be marked for cloning.
- A material master record or document master record can only be inserted once per BOM.
- If the target plant is not identical with the reference plant, and a material is added without target plant view, it will be checked whether the missing view of the reference plant can be cloned. If possible, the user is informed and after a confirmation, the plant view will be created when processed.
- If a BOM with UG documents and structures is cloned (ProConfiguration UG-Plug-in (DSC)), all normal model structures will be corrected by the plug-in. However special cases like derivations and others must be corrected manually.
- If new items are inserted in an after-processing, the item numbers will be increased in intervals of one unit each, starting from the last one used. In case of multiple after processing, the item numbers must eventually be corrected manually.
