Subject: [Vantage] Re: Entering BOM's ??
This is how a mfg company with about 50 employees is handling them now.>>BOM entry
Engineering does most of the BOM maintenance - about 6 people in the department now.
Hand entry of part numbers and materials and a BOM can range anywhere from 1 to 1500 mtls.
Rarely... someone will import a BOM via the Eng. Workbench using the action "Revision" --> "Get Details" --> "Get From Import".
Never became too popular though... considered "tricky" to export from Solidworks and get into a useable .csv file.
Currently production maintains all the operations in methods. Shifting that responsibility to Engineering has come up in discussions but has never moved beyond the talking stage.
Engineering users are not currently set up to use the DMT. I have used it to load BOMs before & liked it.
Users were made aware of CADlink and given promo documents.
No requests for further action yet.
