Edit eBOM attributes

eBOM attributes describe an item's use in a particular eBOM. eBOM attributes are saved to the item's parent item, not to the item itself. This means eBOM attributes may change in each BOM the item is used. These should not be confused with item attributes that are written directly to the item.

Upchain comes with many default eBOM attibutes. However, your Tenant Administrator may have configured additional custom attributes. Regardless, you can find an item's eBOM attributes in the Item View, or the lower pane of the BOM views or My Assignments view when you select a specific item.

Requirements

To edit an item's eBOM attributes, it's parent item must have a status of Development.

Launch the eBOM attribute editor

The eBOM attribute editor is found everywhere you can view an item's attributes:

• Item view
• Project BOM view, cBOM view, eBOM view lower pane
• My Workspace lower pane
• Quick search item detail pane
• Advanced search item detail pane
• My Assignments lower pane

To open the eBOM attribute editor and view the item's eBOM attributes, click the arrow icon () to open the eBOm attributes in a new window.

Edit an assembly's eBOM attributes

2. Select each box to set each eBOM attribute as desired.

   Note: Each eBOM attribute can exist in one of two states: True () or False (). However, the Spare attribute has a third state Null () that may be used to indicate that no decision has been made.

3. Click Save.

The eBOM editor window closes and the eBOM attributes are saved.
