Drawing BOM table - NO DUPLICATES - different parameters
Hello,
I have to join in an assembly components which were retrieved from different databases (so different user parameters)
I have multiple parameters for description:
-DESCRIPTION_1
-DESCRIPTION1
-DESCRIPTION
Some have parameters for PART NUMBER and some does not:
-those which have have a parameter PART_NUMBER
-the others I choose the name of the model (NAME)
When I try to join the BOM, I've created relations in the repetitive region:
BOMDESC - for description
BOMPN - for part_number
The issue is that THE BOM somehow is not taking out the same descriptions
FOR EXAMPLE:
I have two hoses:
1st model is called 500_01.prt
has DESCRIPTION1 = "HOSE"
has PN = "500"
2nd model is called 500_02.prt
has DESCRIPTION_1 = "HOSE"
has PN = "500"
Somehow the BOM table does not identify those as the same component so it will appear two lines
ITEM DESCRIPTION PN QTY
1 HOSE 500 1
2 HOSE 500 1
instead of
ITEM DESCRIPTION PN QTY
1 HOSE 500 2
