BOM showing inseparable purchased parts

[warrentdo]

I have a main assembly IDW that is made up from sub assemblies and single parts, dont we all? Some sub assemblies don’t have their own IDW s so I am going to call their bits up on the main assembly.
I need a BOM that can show some sub assemblies parts and some sub assemblies as a single part.
Ive found that by placing a parts list as ‘PARTS ONLY‘ that it will show all sub assembly’s parts, and by then changing some sub assembly’s to ‘inseparable’ it will hide the parts inside. The only problem I have is that it doesn’t hide the purchased parts! How can I do this? I don’t what to call them up again and don’t want to manually hide them either in the parts list.
Cheers

Im having the same problem. i dont understand why the purchase items bleed thru a assembly  that is set to inseparable.

Are these parts you are creating or are you downloading them from the Internet?

Most of these items are from the content center and the assemblies are all created by me.

If your CC items are bolts, nuts, etc. I would expect them to be set to 'Purchased'. If the CC items are structural steel shapes I would expect them to be set to 'Normal'. If you have a custom CC then you can set the Family Template to what ever works for your situation. If these assemblies are representing something that you need to show for design and illustration purposes only you should set them to 'Reference' this will exclude them from the BOM data for parts lists, structured or parts only.

If you can provide a screen capture and more information perhaps someone can provide more help. I have seen the BOM data behave in odd ways if a file becomes corrupt.
