APPLICATION - PRODUCT ENGINEERING - Units of Measure and Weight Roll-ups

W_A_Watson_II - Tuesday, April 15, 2008 1:05 PM:

I know how and where to add a new unit of measure (pounds, etc...) but based on what/how we do things, knowing a products weight is critical.  Even items that we order as "Each" like Motors have weights.  So we need to capture from the users an items (parts) weight when they enter a Bought Component and calculate a weight  from a Make Component, and then add up those component weight into it's Assemblies.

Is there an existing solution for this that can be loaded

Hi.

Standard PLM Solution has Part ItemType with weight property. A Part instance has Part BOM tab where related parts can be added by user (this tab allows you to enter Bought Component Parts and Make Component parts). PLM Solution will calculate rollup weight for the instance after save based on entered related parts.

If a special logic is required then existing PLM Solution methods/events may be modified or new methods/added may be added.

SamsAn,

 

Agreed, do you know if/how ARAS/Innovator does/can do it?
