ACADE 2021 parent/child relation causes duplicates in BOM.

[Anthony_Trotti]

I'm having this issue where I have a parent component and say 4 child components linked to the parent. The parent component has a set location, which when linking a child component will also add that location to the child component location box. When I run my report, it will show 5 of that component even though I only have 1 parent and 4 children linked. Is ACADE not smart enough to differentiate between the parent component and the linked child components? Is there a setting I'm missing? 

TIA!

Hi @Anthony_Trotti 

Are the custom child symbols that you created? Try removing the MFG and CAT attributes from the child symbols if they exist, and swap/update the blocks.

Since our reports are based on the location tag, I just removed that from the symbols and that solved my issue.
