create new item shortcut in Bill of Material tab

[Tim.Willenbrink]

Dear Fusion Lifecycle Team,

After consulting the Street Team, this is request is worth to place here:

If you want to add an Item to a BOM in the Bill of Material tab, you click on Add, then you can either select an existing item or create a new one via a shortcut, good so far and a really nice feature.

BUT ...

We are using the Classification Manager to its capability limits, meaning our items are classified with this manager and have all different attributes and fields associated. If we now would create a new item via the shortcut link, we are not able to select the item class from our classification manager, (see attached screenprint) As reference I attach the standard item creation option.

would that be possible to programm, I believe we are or will not be the only ones benefiting from that feature.

Curious to hear your opinion about that, 

best regards,

Tim

I had a similar requirement.

If you make classificaiton a required attribute it should appear on the quick menu as well.

Hello Tony,

The problem starts already with the section in the items & BOMS tab, see below screenprint.

This section is not availabe in the quick menu to create a item, no matter if we make the individual attributes fields within the classication manager mandatory or not. 

best regards,

Tim

Hello Dany,

OK, that is good to hear just keep me posted on that. We found a workaround but we strive to have it in the way to be able to use the classification manager to its full potential. 

Thank you & Best regards from Pittsburgh,

Tim
