Cut and Paste BOM
Cut and Paste BOM
(OP)
Boy am I frustrated this morning.
I am trying to cut and paste a bom from one sheet to another sheet, and I can not seem to get it to work. Any ideas.

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
Or drag the BOM from one sheet to another (drag from active to inactive sheet)

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
for the last 2 hours, i've been trying to highlight the bom, and follow the above procedure. Each time, it tells me that "I can't paste the item on the clipboard"
Also, please explain to me how I "drag and drop" the BOM, because I can not do this.
(by the way, there are 114 items in the bom).

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
The new style BOM is much more clunky to move around than it used to be. The blue bar at the top no longer appears for allowing selection of the whole BOM.

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
If that is the case, how are we supposed to split bom's and have them run over multiple pages?
Still, I can't seem to cut/paste or drag/drop - and i'm beginning to feel like the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result).

You may have to zoom in to see that the box has a pair of crossed arrows indicating that movement is allowed.

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
Curious, why do you need to copy it? You should have it as a template. Go to the next page and add a BOM. You will need to edit it anyway if you copy or add it.

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
Cut, not copy.. In order to have the bom run over multiple pages, it must be "CUT" from one page, and pasted into another (after spliting).

RE: Cut and Paste BOM
I like inserting an Excel BOM over the SW BOM. It's easier to manage.
