Auto-Update mBOM Revision on Part Revision Update

This page details the automation built to revise mBOM which contain parts that have a new revision avaialble.

Functionality:

Use Case:

For manufacturers who treat part revisions as interchangeable, it is crucial to reference the most recently released parts in their mBOMs. This ensures that production and planning are aligned with the latest versions. This automation facilitates this process by:

1. Updating the most recently released mBOMs with newly revised parts. (See flow below)

2. Updating any draft mBOMs an ME may be working on.

Additionally, if enabled through a toggle during setup, the automation will also update your autoplan inputs to reflect the newly revised parts.

Use Case Flow

mBOM State Notes:

When deploying this automation, consider the following scenarios related to mBOM states before the revision:

1. Draft mBOMs:

   • If the mBOM was in a draft state, the automation will update the existing mBOM and keep it in the draft state with the same revision.

2. Released mBOMs:

   • If the mBOM was in a released state, the automation will update to the latest released mBOM. The resulting mBOM will be a new revision and will be automatically released.

Deployment:

Step 1: General Integration Setup

• Follow the generic integrations and automations setup how-to page here. This helps establish your API credentials.

Step 2: Automation Specific Configuration
