Notes
- Where a part is in the product definition but is not required for some versions of the product it is excluded from the product requirements report. For example, a plinth may only be required where the product is over a certain minimum dimension.
Sub assembly information - without this option the full details of each sub-assembly are not shown even though they are part of a product. Where a sub-assembly is entered as a separate item in the product requirements list this is printed in the same way as any other product). This includes a drawing if the drawing option is selected. The field labelled 'Information' on the report contains a code that shows the location of each sub-assembly. This code is as follows:-
Requirements file name / line number in requirements list - sub assembly number in product
00012/003-2
Product requirements file: 00012, line number 3, sub-assembly 2 for product in line 3. There is a limit to the number of separate sub-assembly pages that can be printed.
- Where a part code is quite long the first part is shown on the main line and the full code shown on the next line.
