BOM Quantity

[ptc-4632698]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with showing a quantity value in a BOM table I created. For some reason I just get a blank column even though I put in the required input (rpt.qty). Any ideas how I can get this corrected?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Rob K

You've inputed rpt.qty or &rpt.qty?

Hi Antonio,

I input &rpt.qty. Thanks,

hi,

Have you got RPT_QTY parameter defined in your repeat region?

Under Table-->Repeat Region-->Relations-->Parameters

[Dale_Rosema]

Did you set up a repeat region in the table?

If you are able to attach the model and drawing, someone may be able to trouble shoot it for you.

Thanks,

I don't know if you were able to resolve this, but look at the threads I had pertaining to regenerating BOM's. Maybe this could solve your issue:

I'm not Robert and stumbled upon this thread just now, but resolution is pretty simple: to show quantities in BOM, apart from using &rpt.qty in cell you need to change Repeat Region attributes from "Duplicates" to "No Duplicates". It is set to "Duplicates" by default and it means that instead of giving quantity of components per row every single component gets it's own row. Setting to "No Duplicates" generates single row for every component, thus adding component quantities in every row.
