Go to search and look up part no '10096950'. Then, in the consists of tab, see if you have part no '10115187'. 

Hi Arunalu,

yes, the part was missing. I put the part no 10115187 there.

But I have still the same error message.

Thank you for repyling.

Best regards

Hi Link,

Actually it shouldn't be there. Anyways, could you share a screenshot of the consists of tab for both these parts? That might help narrow it down.

Arunalu

Hi Arunalu,

OK, I see. I’ve deleted the part:

Kind regards

When you try to add part 10096950 rev E as a component of part 10115187 rev A you receive the circular reference error, correct?

The first reply from @Arunalu was simply to see if part 10115187 rev A was already a component of 10096950 rev E. As it was not already a component, then the circular reference was not occurring at the first component level of 10096950 rev E. The circular reference, though, is likely present at a lower level in the multi-level BOM of 10096950 rev E.

In Engineering Part Revision, search for part 10096950 rev E. Examine the Multilevel tab and check if 10115187 rev A is listed anywhere in the Sub Part column. If it is, this is why the circular reference error is generated.

Hi Matt,

yes, that is true. The part 10115187 wasn’t a component of 10096950. I investigated the tab “Mulilevel” also and didn’t find the part 10115187 there.

Thank you and kind regards

Back to the original error message. In Engineering Part Revision search for 10096950 revision E and include a screenshot of the Where Used tab.

Hi Matt,
