We come across this same issue on every project we do, and still haven't come across a good way to manage it.
How does everyone else manage cut lengths of bulk material (tubing, cables, edge trim, foam tape, ...).
We use the same plastic tubing multiple times in a booth. Each instance will be a different length and different shape.
Do you take out a separate PN for each different place the tubing is used?
If it is a separate PN, do you create it as an assembly with the bulk material as one of the parts to see what it is made from and get that info into the BOM?
Or do you use the part number of the bulk material and set up a different configuration for each instance?
Then, is there any way to get the correct length of tubing you use to populate into the BOM, other than manually over-riding the cell?
Anyone have a good way that works for them.
We are running EPDM, so that will help manage the files, but we still need everything to be as clean and organized as possible.
Thanks.
