Hi MRK,

actaully i have a query as to how do you create a BOM in SAP from autocad titleblock.

The docu from Cideon says that, BOM data is transferred from Block as we dont have Parent Child Relationship.

CAn you give some inputs.

We are on AutoCAD 2004 using cideon interface 4.0.0.0

Thanks,

Hi Niranjan,

First thing BOM in SAP cannot created from Autocad Title block.

You can create BOM in AutoCAD.

Based on this AutoCAD BOM, the BOM in SAP will be created.

you can see the AutoCAD BOM in the part list.

There is no parent child relationship between SAP BOM and AutoCAD BOM means.

Manual Deletion of SAP BOM item will not affect the AutoCAD BOM item. AutoCAD BOM acts as the leading one.

Hope i have answered your question.

Hi Niranjan,

BOM and Title block has no relationship.

Im working ACAD Mechanical 2007, Here BOM Database tool is available in ACAD.

You can create Part references for each and every parts in your drawing.

You can create balloons to refer each and every part references.

You can create material(in SAP) using Create material in CAD integration menu, for the balloons.

You can create part list using the BOM Database tool. This lists the Parts.

Finally you can create BOM using Create BOM in CAD Integration Menu.

This is how you can create BOM in SAP.

MRK.

However I know for sure that BOM from Acad is possible with Addon from Cideon.

Let see if i can fig that out...

I know that we can create BOM from CDESK

What is the error you are getting?

What is the config u have done in CDESK_CUS for BOM.

Let me know i will also try the same.

MRK

[Former Member]

Hi

SAP CONFIG in CDESK_CUS is what Config doc suggests that i have maintained.

Stock Item

PP01

Alternate BOM etc

but as per my knowledge, it fetches these values if i select Create in Background.

If i click on Create in CDESK then it should take me to CS01 which it is not taking?

Hi MRK / Anirudha,

for Autocad,

Prepare CAD Structure and assign material to each of the document.

GOto CAD Desktop > CAD View and create Material BOM

Only thing is make sure you have material in same plant.
