Quantity options in parts list

FacebookGroupMember — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 14:03:46 GMT

For example, if I have 24 the same bolts in an assembly, I want it to be indicated in the parts list as 1 box of 24 bolts. Is this possible via rules ... or another possibility?

There are quite a few details/intricacies that aren't included in your question..

Do you want the quantity column to just indicate "1 box" and then another column lists the number of bolts in a box?

And what if your next assembly needs 25 bolts? What should the parts list say there? 1.05 boxes? 2 boxes?

What if your purchasing person switches bolt suppliers and now there are 100 in a box?

and more.. lets start there though..
