Reusable components with a spreadsheet in Teamcenter environment

[NutAce]

Hello Guys..

I have started investigating the reusable components and ran into below issue...
Reusable components with a KRX file can make use of a spreadsheet.
According the NX helpfile,

In a Teamcenter environment, individual items can be assigned to specific sets of parameters. In the example below, if a Diameter of 20 is specified as a primary parameter, then the item 000345 will be added to the assembly.

I have created a table in excell and connected it to the KRX file. (see attached screendump).
Now when using the reuse library the parameters are recognized and the correct teamcenter partnumbers are selected, but the reuse library doesn't substitute the component for the correct one from Teamcenter but uses the "template" instead...

Am I missing some setting ?

Hi All...

Got it working... There were a number of things wrong

[ol 1]
[li]Up to NX8.5 you CAN'T use the xlsx format for the spreadsheet. This I found in the Gtac online help files (nothing mentioned about this in NX helpfiles)[/li]
[li]I Also added the DB_PART_NO to the Primary parameters in the KRX file...this is not what you should do...[/li]
[/ol]

Attached a picture how the KRX should look...
