Hello,

I have a question regarding component grouping in EPLAN.

In a machine project, some components belong to a specific sub-assembly, but they all share the same installation location.

For example, a cable harness may consist of:

• Connectors
• Cables
• Protective conduits
• Labels/markers
• Other accessories

All of these components belong to the same machine location, but I would like to group them into a logical sub-assembly so that I can generate a dedicated BOM for that harness.

Is there a standard EPLAN method to achieve this (Assembly, Mounting Group, User-defined Structure, etc.) without changing the installation location of the components?

My goal is to generate:

• A global project BOM
• A BOM for each sub-assembly (harnesses, tooling, kits, etc.)

How do you typically handle this requirement in your projects?

Thank you for your feedback.
