BOM reports showing multiple item numbers

[sparky_mike]

Hello,

I was hoping to find out why I am getting a item number for each instance of a part, rather than just showing one item number per line (part).\

Ex. my report shows item 5 four times, since there are four of these parts. This uses more rows, and I would only like one number 5 to show, with the next column showing qty=4.

Thanks,

Mike

I rewrote part of the pur_pbom.lsp to do just this.

Near the botttom of the first page is the attatchment.

Take a look at your Display Options in the Panel Reports...

Ex:

Select Normal Tallied Format / process your dwg(s) -> When the Report Generator window displays the Bom... select the User Post button just above the Change Report Format.

By defaul there are 3 options, select the Qty x SubQty->Qty, blank out SubQty check box take a look at the generated results in the report preview.

It should show the Item # and "Qty" without the duplicate entries.

This may point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps and if it did... Please accept as Solution and Kudos are always appreciated!
