How to add the part multi-level BOM functions to a new part object type

Hi Community,

We created a new part object, and hope that the new part object have the same multil-level BOM functions as the OOTB part object. I added "Part Multi-level BOM" relationship type to the new part object, but the expected multi-level BOM structure didn't display. I don't know why. Does someone know how to solve the issue? Many thanks in advance.

 

Best,

Miranda

    Hi Miranda,

    This behavior is expected, assuming you configured your tree grid view this way. I think there are two options to remove the intermediary nodes. You can either remove them from your Tree Grid View by Unmapping them:

    Or you can do what the PE_BomStructure TGV does and combine the elements. Here's a different blog on how to combine your elements to achieve your goals: Advanced Tree Grid View Topics

    Hi Miranda,

    The Multi-level BOM view you're looking for is actually a Tree Grid View. While you've added the relationship, the context item has switched So your Query Definition will no longer work. You can try and replicate the PE_BomStructure Query definition and Tree Grid View  using your new ItemTypes to get something as close as possible.

      Hi AJ，

      I referenced the blog of  An Introduction to Query Builder and Tree Grid View | Aras, and get the multi-level BOM. The BOM levels and properties are correct, but the structure display looks very strange as the extra relationship levels were displayed. Could you tell me how to remove these redundancy levels?  

       

      Thanks in advance!

      Best,
