Stop gaskets from appearing on the BOM

[KevinOatesYEV85]

I have been trying to find how to stop gaskets from appearing on the BOM. I found the video of setting up a "Do not report" but That means selecting every gasket and changing its status. Also Changing to "Existing" is just the same thing. Surely there is a way so that every gasket automatically is excluded from the BOM. I assume also that the XML file will need changing but if someone could screenshot where to do this and what to type etc that would be much appreciated.

@KevinOatesYEV85 ,

No, I don't know of any way to implement this other than setting the status to "Existing" so that the entire line doesn't break into individual parts. There's also no simple way to do it in the IsoConfig.xml file. You could look into the filter function in the IsoConfig.xml; perhaps there's a function that will save you this work.

The BOM is populated by the Data.AggregatedLists in the isoconfig.xml file. You can gate this by modifying the RowFilter. Either create a new filter excluding gaskets and assign it to the RowFilter value or modify the original filter. Backup the file prior to testing. You'll need to filter the BOM annotations similarly.
