You can show multiple
lines for the same part number for flat bill of materials (BOM) views based on a
secondary BOM field value.
For example, consider
that a part instance from one subassembly has a reference-specific value of Spare Part, and the same part exists elsewhere in the
assembly without a value. The flat BOM rolls the quantities of the parts with blank
values and the parts with the Spare Part value
on
two separate lines. This functionality is also available in the Plenary Web and you can
access it in reports.
Previously, there was no way to separate the
same part instances into different groups. All instances rolled
into
a single line.
