The BOM Portal will automatically create a link between a BOM line item and a Workspace component where the latter has the Manufacturer Part Number as a valid Part Choice entry. In this case the Info pane presents an additional Library Data tab view that shows the Workspace component's information (Parameters, Part Choices, etc). Also included is a Where Used section which lists Workspace…

The BOM Portal will automatically analyze a Managed BOM document to detect any issues in BOM Item lines, based on their logical structure and the part’s manufacturer and supplier data. These include invalid part numbers, deprecated or low-stock items, non-compliant parts, and much more. BOM line item errors and warnings are summarized by the listing's right-most column icons. Hover over an icon…

A primary capability of the BOM Portal is the dynamic sourcing of real-time manufacture and supplier information for the current Managed BOM.
