Import Tool with multiple workspace Access

[Asingh5]

It is common for a BOM to have a wide variety of components/items associated in it (For Example Screws, Washers, Nuts, Hardware, Motors and sub-assemblies). Many would organize those components/items in more than one workspace within PLM360.

In order to mass create/update BOMs of a specific product practically, the import tool must allow access to add/remove 'child' items from other workspaces - Especially if PLM360 allows you to do it manually.

Having access to only the 'Parent' workspace in the import tool is impractical. This either results in poor item organization within the workspace when trying to make the import tool work OR results the user performing a tedious manual process.

Overall, I think the import tool is a great feature for BOMs; however it still needs to incorporate a multi-workspace functionality to serve its purpose practically.

Hi Amrit, Currently our import tool does have the functionality to create Parent and Child relationship. Through the import tool you can import n the Part Number, Name etc... and create the Hierarchy BOM, Level BOM, or Parent Child BOM. Please refer to the link for instructions. http://help.autodesk.com/view/PLM/ENU/?guid=GUID-D887D527-2187-4210-B04B-33745853E112

Does this allow access to a parent child relationship if the parent and child are in different workspaces?

Support,

Please revise the status on this request. 

The status was set to "Solution Provided" however, I don't see how the Solution solves Amrit's original issue. 

It does not solve the inability to import BOMs where child items resides in a different workspace.

Hi Amrit, I am sorry for misunderstanding the original request. Currently at the time, you can't import parent/child in different workspaces. I will add this to our future enhancement list. thank you, Trung
