In the New Component Introduction 1 of 3
window, you define the Creator and Consumer
organizations for the selected ENOVIA parts. This capability
assists you by allowing you to track the facilities within your
organization that are introducing and utilizing specific parts.
Some information about the part and your defined
organization is already populated in the displayed fields by
default, but can be edited. Enter
additional description data if you like and then select the Select Organization
button located to the right of the Consumer Organization
field to obtain a list of companies that you can link with this

The New Component Introduction 2/3 window
accomplishes two important tasks: It allows you to categorize your
parts by selecting a leaf level category for your part, and it allows you to map attributes of the PLM
part to the attributes of its CES catalog entry. Before any of
the mapping exercises can begin, you must first categorize the part.
To do this, select the Supplemental Information link and
continue expanding it until you locate the proper leaf level category for the
part.
-
Once you have completed your categorization of the
part, you can now map the attributes of your PLM part to those of
your CES sourcing part. First, name your mapping in the
Mapping Name field. Next, continue to map your
attributes by either selecting the Engineering Part
Attribute of your PLM part that you want to map from the
drop-down list and proceed to map the attributes manually, or you
can select the Load Existing Mapping button and have the
existing mapping schema applied to your Enovia part. As you
can see, the Part Number attribute is currently mapped to
the Description attribute. To apply this mapping,
click the Add button to move the mapped attributes into
the Attribute Mapping section of the window.
-
When you have completed your mapping, click the Next button to
proceed. The New Component Introduction 3/3 window appears.
-
All of the attributes that are applicable to the
selected CES category are now displayed. Fill in the
attributes by either typing the information in, or selecting the
Available Values buttons to display the appropriate entries for each of
the fields. To learn more about available values, see
Using Available Values.
-
Once the values and projects have been selected,
select Copy related information to new revision if you wish
to retain mapping information in the new revision. Click the
Submit
button to complete the new component introduction. The
component is added to the CES catalog database and opens in the Properties view.
