iLogic - Add row to BOM dependent on iProperty

[lance_stevens1]

Looking for help with some iLogic code.  I know there's a bunch of post about code for manipulating the BOM with iLogic.  But can't seem to find a post with this specific scenario.

Here's our objective:  Looking to add to rows into the BOM in an assembly.

Here's the setup:

The assembly will have 4 custom iProperties.  As follows...

Code 1 = YES or NO

Code1 QTY = some number

Code 2 = YES or NO

Code 2 QTY = some number

So a user will choose if Code 1 and Code 2 is YES or NO.  And they will manually fill out a Quantity.

So what I'm looking to do is... if Code 1 and/or Code 2 have a YES... then I want a row added to the BOM that says Code 1 for the name (or Code 2).  At this point, the Quantity would be applied as well.

Is this possible?

Ultimately, this needs to show up on a Parts List in a Drawing.  But I'd like it on the assembly, so it automatically shows up when a Parts List is pulled.

I know this could be done with Virtual Components.  But this won't fit the scenario in this particular Engineering/Design department.  These departments use Vault.  We want Code 1 & 2 (and quantities) to show up as properties in Vault.  So engineers can simply find the assembly in Vault and edit the Vault property (we'd obviously create a custom Vault property linked to the custom iProperty).

Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks so much!

you could add a virtual component.

would that be an option for you?

you can do that also with code

Thanks Herm... but my post mentions why virtual components are not a viable solution for their setup.  See below.

Any idea what the iLogic code would look like for something like this?

ah, sorry for that.
