How to Map BOMLine References in Teamcenter Extension

While the Teamcenter Extension UI does not support automatic configuration of BOMLine references, you can manually add associations to your domain model to enable this functionality. The Teamcenter Connector uses name-based mapping and will automatically populate associations that match Teamcenter reference names.

1. Create the integration using the Teamcenter Extension
   • Use the Teamcenter Extension to create the microflows and domain model for your get structure use case
   • Configure the basic BOMLine property mappings as needed
2. Locate the BOMLine entity in your domain model
   • In the Teamcenter Extension, go to the History tab
   • Double-click on the BOMLine object to open its domain model
3. Create a new association with the exact Teamcenter reference name
   • For predecessor lines: Create a new self-association (*-*) for BOMLine
   • Name it exactly as it appears in Teamcenter: bl_predecessor_lines
   • The exact naming is critical - the Teamcenter Connector uses name-matching to map data
4. Test the integration
   • Run your integration to retrieve BOMLine objects
   • Verify that you can now retrieve predecessor BOMLines over the association
   • The Teamcenter Connector will recognize the association by name and populate it with related BOMLine objects from Teamcenter

Note on other object types: The current use case describes using a reference where the referenced object is also a BOMLine. Hence, we are creating a self‑reference — for predecessor lines create a BOMLine self‑association (-) named exactly bl_predecessor_lines. If the Teamcenter reference points to a different object type (for example an ItemRevision), create an additional domain entity that specializes ItemRevision and create the association between BOMLine and that new entity (named exactly as the Teamcenter reference), or create the association directly to an existing ItemRevision entity. The Teamcenter Connector uses name‑based mapping and will populate any association whose name matches the Teamcenter reference.
