total bill of materials

[MichalLukac]

Hello.

If I use Bill of materials report in assembly, it creates BOM for every subassembly.

Some subassemblies contain the same parts. I need to create total BOM report and not for every subasm. (total of every part from all subasms)

Is it possible?

Thank for reply

Assuming you are talking about Creo Parametric.  Creo View Bill of Material has the capability you are looking for and probably more.  The specific function you want is "All Flat".  The nice thing about Creo View BOM is the ability to add any attribute as a column that can be exported to a CSV file.

Bill,

     I am not familiar with "BOM" tab. Is it part of Creo Parametric? (I'm running 2.0) Or is it an additional module?

Thanx

Bill Ryan is talking about Creo View application.

Michal,

if you use Bill of Materials command in Assembly mode -AND- your config.pro does not contain bom_format option, then:

• Creo displays the report in browser window and also creates file in working directory (in my case it is asm0001.bom.1)
• bom file contains structural report for every assembly/subassembly and also summary report (at the end of the file)
• summary report is probably information you are looking for

hello,

yes this is exactly what i'm looking for.

I didn't notice it is at the end of the report.

thanks

Michal,

if you want to be more perfect, you can format Bill of Material output.

Use attached file and add bom_format option at the end of your config.pro file.

On my PC I use ... bom_format D:\tmp\creo\mybom2.fmt
