You can specify how to list component configurations in a BOM. When multiple configurations of the same component are used in an assembly, there are some additional considerations.
- In the Item No. column, you can list the configurations as separate entries with individual item numbers, or you can group all the configurations as a single entry with one item number.
- In the Part NUMBER column, you can display a user-specified name, the configuration name, or the document name for configurations listed as separate entries with individual item numbers. When configurations are listed as a single entry with one item number, the Part NUMBER column displays user-specified names only.
If different components use the same configuration name, and:
- In the Configuration Properties PropertyManager, under Bill of Materials Options, Part number displayed when used in a bill of materials is set to User Specified Name.
- In the Bill of Materials PropertyManager, under Part Configuration Grouping, Display configurations with the same name as one item is selected.
then all configurations appear as a single entry with one item number.
In the part document, you need to perform certain steps to achieve the desired results:
