Short answer is yes. Are you looking to call a BOM report on an Part show parts below AND look upwards to the where used and show that information as well? Or is the parent part you talked about the starting point? I have a report that has a header with attribute information on the starting point. Anything is possible and there is a documented method of adding a custom report in the customerizer's guide.

From end item part to show the details of parent part(whole structure)  i.e where used in the bom report. Thanks.

Yes, this is a custom JSP page that you can link in to the Reports dropdown. Check out older copies of the Customizer's Guide (11.1 since I could not find it in online help). Page 1114, Customizing a Bill of Materials. From that framework, you can modify the JSP to add your where used information on top. You need to have experience with JSP, Java and customizing pages. Also, note that a where used can get large since it ripples up many branches especially if the component is used in many places. See how the current Where used page is displayed. Its basically a tree.
