I have a BOM structure with WT parts. The WT parts are linked to CAD drawing or is described by document. I have made a customized view for Multi Level BOM report generation. I require two columns  to be added to this view (1) Linked drawing / document number (2) Revision of linked drawing / document. Attached is the screenshots. How can I add the two columns in the customized view for generation of BOM report please suggest. We use WIndchill 11.1

Hello @KSHITISH_S 

I wanted to recommend try to use alias attributes, but the maping from WTPart to drawing is too complicated and I can not find exactly the path 

WTP - EPMDocument (model)- EPMMaster - references - EPMDocument(drawing)

 

From my perspective it is easier to create WTPart IBA global attribute, and set own data utility that will show information what you need. 

it is customization where you create class as the data utility that search for your criteria to find information what you need to show.

this class is registered  in service.properties for your specific IBA parameter and it will be called every time if the parameter is shown anywhere.

 

so it will show your information in the multilevel bom table. 

 

here are resources for data utility creation

Hope this can help

You will probably need to create a custom report using the report generator to get the data from linked tables in the database.

    Not my area of expertise with Windchill.

    David Graham may be able to help with customized reports.

    If you are ok with a slightly different display (not columns), Documents and CAD documents can be shown in the left side browser and exported from that side.
