About Parts and Engineering BOM Management

Whether IP Classification/Classify and Reuse is used by itself or with Engineering BOM Management determines how part families and parts are created, and the workflow surrounding parts.

IP Classification supports the creation of simple Parts and Part Families from within the application as described in this guide. When Engineering BOM Management is used, the Engineering BOM Management forms and triggers, along with a comprehensive work process capability, are added. Likewise, using Engineering BOM Management in combination with IP Classification/Classify and Reuse expands the Engineering BOM Management product capabilities. An Engineering BOM Management user who also has a IP Classification/Classify and Reuse license may organize Part Families into hierarchies and inherit attributes from Part Families higher in the structure.
