How does Bomgrove validate assemblies and calculate totals?

Bomgrove lets manufacturing and hardware engineering teams check a proposed assembly before saving it.

Start with Validate assembly. Supply the top-level assembly part number and the complete component list. It checks the assembly and returns leaf component totals without creating a revision.

How are multilevel quantities calculated?

Each component quantity is measured per parent assembly. Bomgrove rolls those quantities through the assembly to calculate totals for one top-level assembly.

For example, a subassembly used 3 times, with a component quantity of 4 inside it, contributes 12 units of that component.

The totals contain leaf components: parts with no children. Each total includes the part number, supplied description, quantity, and supplied unit.

What does validation check?

Bomgrove checks for:

• Missing part identities.
• Invalid quantities.
• Duplicate part-and-parent relationships.
• Missing parents.
• Circular dependencies.

All parents must connect to the top-level assembly. Repeated part numbers must have matching descriptions and units.

When else is the assembly checked?

Create bill validates the full assembly before saving. Revise bill also refuses invalid components and circular dependencies before saving a revision.
