panel BOM and adding Company part# (modifed pur_pbom.set)

Hi All,

I am trying to add our company part # to the BOM.

 

I added the attribute (NER#) to the panel symbol

 

I run it from projects/reports/panel reports/ Bill Of Material.

 

I have modifided the PUR_PBOM.SET to include the following

 

under title...NER#

 

under characters...5

 

under justification..."L"

 

i added all of these at the end of all the others under those headings

 

In the report i can select to add the column (NER#) to the report and it comes up but with the wrong info.(the value is 98765 but it shows up as 101)

 

Any 1 have an idea what I am doing wrong???

 

Attached is the file with my changes in red

 

Thanks in advance for any help

 

Dennis

I am not sure if what you are trying to do would work, but there is an easier way.

 

In the Catalog Database, there are 3 USER fields for our use (USER1, USER2,USER3). I use USER1 for my internal (company) part numbers.

 

After filling these out in the database, I then just added USER1 to the report ( I renamed it "Company P/N"), and the info was readily available.

 

I hopoe this helps.

Thanks Bob,

 

I knew I could do it that way.

 

I guess I am just a glutten for punishment and was trying to...

 

1) better understand how the BOM reports work.

 

2) get it to work (too much time on my hands)

 

Thanks

again

Bob,

 

I took your advice and made it work.

 

In playing with it a little more I made it so the only change from the original pur_pbom.set is the heading which I changed from user1 to NER#.

 

everything works fine

 

thanks for the help

 

Dennis
