Administrators can configure a BOM type to be exported to an XML file automatically when you change the state of an assembly or named BOM.
An administrator configures an export rule for the BOM type and adds the rule to a workflow transition. You can export computed BOMs, SOLIDWORKS BOMs, and named BOMs as XML. The BOM is exported to a directory on the archive server specified in the export rule.
- To export a computed BOM or SOLIDWORKS BOM to an XML file, right-click an assembly in the File Explorer, click Change State, and select a transition.
- To export a named BOM, right-click a named BOM in the Bill of Materials view, click Change State, and select a transition.
