The Engineering BOM stays in the PDMLink until a new Manufacturing view of the part is created using features of MPMLink. mBOM has its own team, approvers, change admins etc. We want the eBOM to stay in PDMLink while the mBOM which is the same part number with a manufacturing view to exist in a Library. This will help us better manage the eBOM and mBOM at two different locations. The problem is PDMLink does not allow this to happen, we cannot simply move manufacturing view of a part to a library, it moves the design version as well. Many users have suggested the creation of manufacturing folder instead of library in the product container itself, but this will create too many problems in terms of managing the access at folder level and will also blow up the product container team.
It will relly help if someone can suggest a workaround? or is PTC planning to provide a way we can move the manufacturing view to different containers without moving the design view of the same part. I am sure many must be facing a similar issue?
