BOM for 2 different sites

[linnu]

In a multi-plant manufacturing setup using Teamcenter, the same part (e.g., Bracket123) is fabricated in Plant USA1 and purchased in Plant USA2. The organization wants to avoid duplicating part numbers while managing plant-specific BOM structures.

Currently, we are preparing the C (CAD), E (Engineering), and M (Manufacturing) BOMs.

How can we manage the data for each site for E and M BOM's, and how can we generate the top-level assembly BOM based on the specific site in Teamcenter?



we need to manage with same number for both the sites.



Thankyou!

At the top level, can you add -F (fab) for one and -P (purchased) for the other?

Trash the multiple C/E/M BOMs and smack whoever proposed that nonsense.
Normal practice is to use levels/layers and p/ns as needed for inspection in a single BOM. Your example would look something like:

Non-saleable engineering "buck" contains all variants of product
^
Saleable product is assembled to p/n3
^
Plant2 finishes part per print p/n2, which is a make-from referencing p/n1
^
Plant1 roughs part per print p/n1

I don't think this is a software problem; it is a wetware problem. You have to talk to each other.

Everybody has to use the same BOM format. You have to agree on part numbers, and you must have access to each other's databases. Each site can have its own drawing/part numbering scheme. Probably, it will be easier to assign numbers. The number will tell you which site the part originated from. If your drawing/part numbers are centralized, the source would be a field in your database, which is a good idea. I actually do not like intelligent numbering systems.
