GBOM Part Table: Inactive Parts Page Tab

The Inactive Parts page tab of the Parts/GBOM page lists the inactive parts for a logical feature.

When you make a part inactive, it is not available for any new product configuration or BOM generation process. The effectivity of a part determines the availability of the part for future product configurations and BOM generation processes. Inactive parts can be made active again, facilitating their reuse.

To access this page:

  1. Open the GBOM page. See GBOM Page.
  2. Click the Inactive Parts page tab.

Columns

ColumnDescription
ActionsObsolete items do not have any actions available.

Actions Column IconDescription
(Make Active)Makes the part active. Moves it to the Active Parts page tab.

NameThe name of the part. Click to open the part.
RevisionThe revision number or code.
TypeThe type or subtype.
StateThe current state of the part in its lifecycle.
Part TypeThe part usage:
  • Standard
  • Custom
BOM Definition:
If the icon shows in a row, the BOM attributes are overwritten for this row. If the icon does not show, the inherited BOM attributes from the logical feature are used.
F/NThe find number is an ID that is used on drawings as bubble call outs. Find Numbers are usually integer values: 1,2,3,...
QtyThe quantity of the object included in the model version or feature. If this value is required, you can type a value and then click Apply to submit the changes.
Note: This is a mandatory column and must not be removed when creating a custom table view.
UsageStandard, Reference, Per Sales Order, or As Required
Ref DesThe reference designator ID is used on printed circuit boards to indicate the location of where an electronic component is to be inserted. Reference designators are usually values like R1, R2, R7 or C1, C5 ('R' stands for resistor and 'C' for capacitor).
OwnerThe owner of the part.
Replaced ByIf a part in the context of a logical feature was replaced to make it inactive, this column shows the name of the part that replaced it.
Variant/Option

The uncoupled variant and option effectivity expression defined for the logical feature.

You can edit the effectivity until the parent logical feature reaches the Released state. See Building or Editing an Effectivity Expression.

Product Engineers must be licensed for both Variant Analysis and Reuse and Configured BOM to edit the effectivity.

Note: This column can only have a value when effectivity has been uncoupled.
Effectivity

The coupled effectivity expression defined for the logical feature.

Note: This column can only have a value when effectivity has not been uncoupled.

Toolbar Commands

ActionDescription
Make Active Makes the selected part active, and moves it to the Active Parts page tab.

If all design variant for the inclusion rule are active, the rule is a simple inclusion rule. If the inclusion rule has more design conditions than the active design variants, then the rule is a complex inclusion rule. If the inclusion rule condition has fewer design conditions than the active design variants, then the rule is a simple inclusion rule with a dash (-) for the additional design variants.
