Bill of Materials Multiple Configurations

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 the configuration name for configurations listed as separate entries with individual item numbers.
    If different components use the same configuration name and:
    • 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 required results:
