Clear to build reporting

The clear to build report is a standard report found under "Parts/Inventory/Plans".

The report combines the plans data generated by Autoplan with the aBOM to give you a full picture of the status of your build(s).

Notable assemblies

This view in the Clear to Build report helps break down the BOM into reportable sections. To use this feature, you need to set up an attribute at the library level to indicate the Notable Assembly. Set this attribute as either a text or single-select input. The name you choose for this attribute will be what you populate in the "Notable Assembly Key" field in the Clear to Build report.

When generating outputs, the "Notable Assembly" serves as an initial reference point. As the system traverses the Bill of Materials (BOM), the value associated with a high level (parent) notable assembly will propagate down the hierarchy. This propagation continues through all subsequent components in the structure until another assembly with a different notable assembly name or attribute is encountered.

For the example in the video above:

1. Starting from a "Notable Assembly Name," each component below it inherits the associated attributes until a different assembly name (e.g., "Base") is reached.

2. From the "Base" assembly onward, every subsequent component in the structure will inherit the attributes of "Base."

This hierarchy-based propagation ensures that attributes are consistently inherited by child components, depending on the last encountered assembly name with the "Notable Assembly" attribute populated.
