Viewing Duplicate Parts

During the editing process in a GBOM part table, some parts may become duplicates of other parts. A duplicate part conflict is created if two or more parts have the same part number or if two or more parts have the same design conditions and different part numbers. You can view and remove duplicate part conflicts for the BOM generation process from the Display Duplicates page.

Before you begin: Access the GBOM part table for an object. For details, see Viewing a GBOM Part Table.
