Issue in creating the variant BOMs by customizing the value field

Micheal schenk
Micheal schenk over 6 years ago

I am using OrCAD Capture CIS 17.2 059. I am facing a issue in customizing variant BOM.

I have a design where the component holds two different values say for example inductor L1 has 12.8mH and another case 1.8uH and for the same I want create a BOM variants V1 and V2.

The issue is I want to create a BOM v1 which has L1 value 12.8mH and V2 having 1.8uH. I don't want to do any manipulation to design or database. Is there any method to do so ??

    You control the BOM Variants through the Part manager. All the parts start in a "Common" Group, create some Groups, and Subgroups, to handle the parts that you want to change between the Variants and then create the BOM Variants from a combination of the Common and Sub Groups. See the documentation on "Working with Database Parts"
