The BOM Editor

The BOM editor gives an overview on all your components, failure modes, FIT values and much more.

[1] This area shows you the current BOM module. With a click on the triangle the BOM module can be changed by selecting the desired one.

[2] Tool bar with the following functions:

	Decide with this filter which elements should be shown. (All, Not Imported, New, Changed, Deleted)
	Toggle Status Colors: each component status has its own color (e.g., Review = yellow). Press this button to turn the colors on or off .
	Show state of import: turn on or off the import status with this button.
	Modules: activate this first if you want to filter for certain modules. Then click on the corresponding module in the BOM Modules view below. Now the BOM editor only shows elements of the selected module.
	New component: create a new component with this button.
	New Failure Mode: create a new failure mode with this button. This button will be disabled if you did not select a component.
	Expand/Collapse all
	Freeze table
	Toggle failure mode display
	Toggle component display
	Toggle module display
	Switch views Modules/Components: use this button to change the table either to the Modules view where you see just the BOM modules or to the components view where you can see your components with failure modes.

[3] In this area the BOM is displayed and can be edited.

Status: you can change the status of each component with a double-click on the component in the
status column. Then a little list pops up with "Open" (set as standard), "Review" and "Closed". If you
want to hide the failure modes of an component, just click the "-" symbol. Click "+" to show them.

Name: This column represents the name of the component. You can change the name with a double-click
on the component in the name column.

Description: If you have set a description in the "New Component" dialog, this description will appear
in this column. You can add or change the description with a double-click on the field.

Factor: The number of times this component exists in the system. Important for Total FIT: FIT * Factor = Total FIT

Product Code: Enter your product code for this component.

Assembly group: If there is an existing assembly group, you can connect your component to this
group by double-clicking on the component in the assembly group column. A list will pop up from
which you have to choose the group if there is more than one.

Basis FIT: The value of "Basis FIT" comes from the Siemens catalog and is fixed. This is set
automatically, so you can't change this value if you have chosen a catalog and component type.

FIT %: This is only relevant for modules defined as a component type. FIT % describes the proportion
of the component in percent, relative to the Total FIT.

FIT: Is the failure in time value without the factor. The value comes from the chosen catalog. It changes
with the manipulation of "FIT Details", "Temperature profiles" and "Mission profiles".

Total FIT: The value of total FIT is calculated from FIT * Factor.

Catalog: The catalog column shows you the catalog of your component. This catalog is set in the
"New Component" dialog and can be sn29500, IEC62380 or custom. You can set the FIT value for
yourself if you haven't chosen a catalog. This isn't possible if you have chosen a catalog.

Catalog component type: You can find the component type in this column which you have set in the
"New Component" dialog.
