BOM - Copy item number to other column

Is it possible to copy automaticly the Item numbers in a BOM to another column?

For example the column Vendor?

So i can use the Item numbers in properties of the parts.

Hi,

 

current Inventor API has not exposed the BOM.Columns. So there is not way to copy content of one column to the other. but if you just want to store some information in the part with the ItemNumber, you could get the corresponding ComponentDefinition.doc of the part of the BOM row and manipulate iProperties of the corresponding  part document (ComponentDefinition.Parent)

 

Of course, if you export the BOM to other format such as Excel sheet. You could customize it by Excel API.
