Hi Folks.
I have a question on how to handle psrt numbers in a BoM where there are many options.
I do not have a problems where there is a push button,with multi NC or NO contacts and say a lock mechanism.
The Parent child concept looks after that combination.
My delemer is internal options that need to be ordered from the manufacturer.
EG An ORION PFSMPR-1XXX The first X has two options
The second X has two options
The third X has five options.
This all expands to the unit having 20 options. Is there a simple method if listing 1 of these 20 options from a list without having 20 line items in the parts catalogue.
My question is not urgent but I would like to hear from you folks as to what might be your solution.
Cheers John Quigley

John,
If each option gernerates a different part number, I would think that you would want a seperate record in the database for each option combination. I would do it that way.
I do the same as Bob with this.
However I only add the part number when I need to use it rather than doing all of them in one session.
Some options will never be used and will only cause bloating of the catalog database.
