Flat BOM Groupings

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.
