BoM Reports
Reference Contents > Bills of Material > BoM Reports
This window provides the user with the ability to set a Bill of Materials report type, sort order, options and selection ranges. The sort order, options and selection ranges available depend on the report type selected. Selecting the report type first will set the window to show only the valid alternative selection fields and option controls.
NOTE: This window contains fields introduced with version 5 that enable additional search (and sometimes sort controls), such as Adhoc extra where. For more help on their use and examples see the Client-Server SQL Introduction help.
Once the user has completed the window pressing the Enter key will cause the report to be printed, clicking on the Print Report button has the same effect. A Cancel button closes the window.
The Trial Kit is a special type, in that it requires additional setup using the BoM Trial Kit Parts Setup window.
TIP: The Parent Parts Listing report exhibits special behaviour when driven by the Transfer List function on the Parts ScratchPad. You can use this to obtain a list of all parent parts that contain a multiple selection of component parts. For example, all assemblies that contain IC1, IC4 and TR6; to do this, with the BoM Reports window open and Parent Parts Listing report selected, open the Parts ScratchPad and populate it so that the three components are included. Select the component part lines, using Ctrl-click, then operate Transfer List from the Parts ScratchPad Options menu. If the system can find any parent parts that contain all of the selected components, the ScratchPad list will be replaced by the list of these parents. If it cannot find any parents, you will be notified in a message. Note that if you only select one component part the resulting list will be a single-level where-used list.
