So. First off: im german, sry for my broken english.
1. What *exactly* is excluded in the Parts Only list except the parts i have set to reference? Only the .iam's? I think it might be more. Because i have exported both lists. Parts only and Structured to an excel table. For the structured list i have then in excel deleted all duplicates with the criteria of the filename. So now i should have each file once, even though i have used it in different sub-assemblies. Now i have more positions then i have in the Parts Only list (ofcourse i subtracted the number of .iam's i have). Why do i have still more positions from the structured list than in the parts only list?
2. When i exported the structured list i have then summed all instances of each part using the sumif function. But when i compare it with the parts only list, there are some positions which have the wrong number on instances of the part. Why/how is that possible?
i would love to attach the iam here, but i doubt that my boss would be ok with it. you know, data protction and copyright and stuff.

Hi!
That will depend on the parts and subassembly status for BOM Structure.
Example: in a part, phantom or reference, will have the same result, but in a subassembly, not.
Also, suppress components can be counted, or not.

can you tell me what phantom assemblies are really for?
as i have understood it they are for repeating patterns (very basic example a certain nut combined with a bolt) that i can place so i dont have to make the constraints again and again. but in the final bom they will be shown as though i have placed them individually.
am i correct?

also:
i have only one phantom assembly. the rest are just normal parts or subassemblies. this doesnt add up

Correct!
Phantom: the sub-assembly will not be counted in the part list, but the parts are counted.
Ex: if you use Bolt Connection or Frame Generator (those are special components, but still sub-assemblies), the parts will be in the part list, but not the subassembly. This phantom status is set automatically for these cases, but in a normal sub-assembly, you can force them to have equal status.
It's like: the sub-assembly is reference, but not the parts within the sub-assemble, those have normal status and will be counted.
Reference: Neder the sub-assembly and parts will appear in the part list. They are all references.
Patterns are a different case, since you are replicating parts, it will count each repetition.
But if you create a pattern of a Phantom or Reference sub-assembly, the behavior should be similar as the single inicial component (before patterning).
