About Enabling and Disabling Components for Compliance

BOM Materials Compliancy uses a rollup process that determines product compliance from the compliance of underlying components in the EBOM. In some cases, a design BOM may contain parts that should not be considered for compliance calculations because they are components representing tooling or packaging that are not part of the final delivered product.

The recommended business process for an Author or Design Engineer is to first review the design EBOM of a product and disable any parts that should not impact the overall compliance of the top level product. Types of parts that could fall into this category are Tooling, Packaging, Phantom parts, Accessories (extract parts), User Guides, and Software parts.
