• New System Options setting has been added to control whether the user requires "Unique" Balloon Numbers per Nameplate Device regardless of assigned part number.
• The Starting Balloon Number option in the BOM Manager > Edit dialog uses this setting to control the behavior for automatic balloon number assignment.

 

Bill Of Material Balloon (Item) Number Reservation

Below BOM Manager function can be used to create spare line items on a Bill of Material report. New BOM Manager function called Insert Spare has been add to the right click menu. When this function is executed, the user will be prompted to enter the number of desired spares. After successful execution, new Balloon (Item) Numbers are added sequentially; starting at the active/selected record. Duplicates Balloon (Item) Numbers are not allow. When this condition is encountered, the user will be prompted to change the Number of Spares value.

Example Scenario: User needs to Reserve 5 Balloon (Item) Numbers starting at Balloon (Item) Number 13.

User Enters desired number of spares. (Example 5)

End result. 5 spare Balloon (Item) numbers are added. Note: By default, spare part numbers will appear in Bill of Material reports. Changes to your report template may be required if the autogenerated spare part number values do not need to be displayed in your report. (I.E. _SP1_, _SP2_ , etc.)
