Autodesk PLM 360
I want to know how many times a Battery or a light is used on a particular project. Specifically so I can order them. Is there any way to automatically extract that quantity information for a given project/product & either export it or generate a purchase order?
it seems like you would have to go to the Where Used tab for that Item, or go to the parent BOM item for that project/product then view the flat BOM, scroll down until you find the item & then manually extract the quantity information then type it into the Purchase Order....?
Scott,
Unfortunately you hit the nail on the head so to speak. We do understand that the BOM is lacking some in that automation and are working on giving the BOM a little more oomph to it, so to speak.
However, one could add a field to the BOM called “quantity” and manually enter that information, and do a report on that …….
Stay tuned.

Blaaahh!
There's is way too much double entry in PLM at the moment to get what you need. My latest issue is needing two way relationships, but that same info needs to be in the item details as well...
you know I love this product, however, it really does have a long way to go to become more efficient to use. Thanks for getting back to me.
