GBOM Page

The GBOM page lists all parts, part families, and model versions in the general bill of materials (GBOM) of the model version.

The GBOM page for a logical feature includes Active Parts and Inactive Parts page tabs. See GBOM Part Table: Active Parts Page Tab and GBOM Part Table: Inactive Parts Page Tab.

Leaf-level logical features could be resolved to more than one part on the GBOM. This page includes BOM definitions for the parts that lets you override the logical feature BOM attributes for a part.

To access this page:

  1. Open the logical feature or model version.
  2. In the navigation pane, select GBOM.

Columns

ColumnDescription
NameThe name of the part, part family, or model version. Click to open the item.
RevisionThe revision number or code.
TypeThe object type or subtype.
StateThe current state of the object in its lifecycle.
Part TypeThe usage criteria of the part (for example, Standard or Optional).
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: Quantity 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 (i.e., 'R' stands for resistor and 'C' for capacitor).
Com Loc The component location in the BOM.
OwnerThe person responsible for the object.
The file attached to the object, if any exist.
Variant/Option

The decoupled 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.

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

The coupled effectivity expression defined for the logical feature.

Note: This column can only have a value when effectivity has not been decoupled.
Note: You only see the Start Milestone and End Milestone columns if the current model version has an associated governing project.
Start MilestoneThe milestone at which effectivity for this part begins.

You can only use milestones to define effectivity if the logical feature belongs to a model version that has a governing project defined. The milestones you can choose are defined in the governing project.

The column can show separate values for each configuration context (model).

End MilestoneThe milestone at which effectivity for this part ends.
