Important The multi-level BOM import functionality described in this topic only applies to the xTend BOM Import integration service (FLX-XTD-BOM-11)—importing BOM files in the NPI client application FactoryLogix Office remains unchanged. (See Import a BOM and other design files for details about importing BOM files using the NPI client applicationFactoryLogix Office.) |
Using the xTend BOM Import integration service (FLX-XTD-BOM-11), FactoryLogix can import multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs) containing sub-assemblies. The BOM files you import can be up to 125 levels deep.

Inline and phantom assemblies
An operator working in the NPI client application FactoryLogix Office can mark a part number as a sub-assembly in an unpublished BOM—this functionality remains unchanged. A BOM line item may only be flagged as an inline assembly or a phantom assembly by the xTend BOM Import integration service FLX-XTD-BOM-11.
...
Inline assemblies are identified in a similar way to conventional sub-assemblies in the BOM Viewer in the NPI client applicationFactoryLogix Office, however the icon for an inline sub-assembly is slightly different:
...
Phantom assemblies are identified like inline assemblies in the BOM Viewer in the NPI client applicationFactoryLogix Office, but use a different icon: 
...
A new service configuration setting allows imported BOMs to be released to Production automatically.
In the NPI and Production client applicationsFactoryLogix Office and FactoryLogix Operations, when an inline or phantom sub-assembly is encountered, all BOM line items belonging to that sub-assembly are included in a "flattened" list of BOM line items. Any BOM line item identified as part of an inline or phantom sub-assembly will have a revision mode set to Specific Revision.
...
When a parent assembly is released to Productionproduction, all inline and phantom sub-assemblies are locked and no longer editable.
The CAD-BOM data source in FactoryLogix Analytics includes a column for each new property added to the BOM Line Item table by this project.
The xTend BOM Export integration service (FLX-XTD-BOM-07) includes the <SubAssemblyType> tag to include reporting inline assembly and phantom assembly entries. The BOM Export integration service does not include the <Assembly> tag within the <BOMItem> tag, and will continue to provide only single-level BOM XML data.
