Hi,
version 7.0.175
On the Components pane of works orders, there is a column called Explode Policy. Just wondering if that does anything?
It seems to do nothing?
If it does nothing, is it there for future development when a component is a BOM which also needs a Works Order done to fulfil the quantity(ies) required?
I am trying to write a plugin (vb .net) to do it, i.e. create a Works Order if a component needs it's own Works Order. I am checking the InputItem.IsBOMItem and InputItem.SubAssemblyExplodePolicy to verify if a Works Order is needed. Although when looking at SubAssemblyExplodePolicy, the value is 0 whether the GUI is blank or Always, so not sure that really does anything either.
Can you assist to describe what the highlighted items are?
I assume InputItem.SubAssembly would be the Bill of Materials for the component?
And InputItem.SubAssemblyExplodePolicy would be the setting in the Explode Policy column? But it seems to show 0 no matter what the Explode Policy displays.
What about SubAssemblyWorksOrders? I'd assume this would be the Works Order for the component (if a BOM itself) but how does it get created?
Cheers
Danny
