Bubblenum field Vantage all versions

Ron,

That sounds like a sensible alternative, but we already use that
comments field for work instruction number identification.

The masterplan I had was to get crystal to parse the user defined
field for R1,R2,R3 etc and repeat these records out onto the job
traveller. We then have a job traveller which has a separate line per
circuit ref, but in terms of availability reports, all the part
numbers are actually grouped together in the bom.

Does this make sense to you?

Hi all,

We are an electronics company and as such, our boms can have 10's of
different bubblenums (circuit refs) for the same component.
In Vantage upto and including V8, the bubble field is only 10
characters in length! So I decided I should use another field which has
a higher character limit.

I've tried adding a user defined field text box(ECOMtl.Character01) to
the operation/material maintenance bits on Engineering workbench thru a
customisation. This saves fine whilst the revision is still checked
out, but once it is checked in, the ECOMtl.Character01 is blank. I've
confirmed this by then checking the revision back out again and sure
enough, the ECOMtl.Character01 field is blank again. If I modify the
bubble number field, the value stays in place thru-out all the checking
out and in, so what am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Jonny

You'll need to map any values you define on the ECOMtl record to the
corresponding value on PartMtl (and thence PartMtl to JobMtl probably).
This will then pass the data along as you check in, raise jobs etc.
Use the VBForm Map process under the Vantage Basic menu
Good Luck

Hi all,

We are an electronics company and as such, our boms can have 10's of
different bubblenums (circuit refs) for the same component.
In Vantage upto and including V8, the bubble field is only 10
characters in length! So I decided I should use another field which has
a higher character limit.

I've tried adding a user defined field text box(ECOMtl.Character01) to
the operation/material maintenance bits on Engineering workbench thru a
customisation. This saves fine whilst the revision is still checked
out, but once it is checked in, the ECOMtl.Character01 is blank. I've
confirmed this by then checking the revision back out again and sure
enough, the ECOMtl.Character01 field is blank again. If I modify the
bubble number field, the value stays in place thru-out all the checking
out and in, so what am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Jonny

Jonny,

While I can't answer your question directly, I can tell you what we
did. Just like you, we make electronics and the bubblenum field was
useless to us. Instead, we're using the Manufacturing Comments field
for each Material Sequence number on the BOM. Then I modified the
grid view to show that column instead of the bubblenum column.

Thanks,
