Alternate parts on BOMs

FH202409063758

Greetings,

In my database, I have a part that could be any number of matching parts. i have a single part now but would like to add additional parts from alternate manufacturers.

The main part might be a 10K resistor made by Vishay. Other direct replacements could be from Panasonic, Samsung, etc.

I would like my BOM to include all parts I might add to the database.

Is this possible? If yes, how would I set that up?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Fred

    Solved!

    To add more information: I am using Capture CIS. I was able to add multiple distributors and equivalents. To make it work, I ended up working with Tech Support and found that we had a mismatch in the mapping. Now, when printing the BOM, the primary part is listed and then each following option is listed. When creating the CIS Bill of Materials, there are two boxes to check: List "Relational Data Fields" and "Relational Data Displayed". The "CIS Manufacturer ..." properties are added to the Output Format.

    Thank you!

    Best regards,

    Fred

    There's a RAK that explains it.   Search for

    "How to include all fields with multiple entries defined in the Relational Database in Capture CIS BOM"

    But, "Relational Data Displayed" is greyed out in the BOM generation dialog.  Yes, I use CIP to manage the CIS data.
