Solidworks BOM - Merging like descriptions
Solidworks BOM - Merging like descriptions
(OP)
We are currently implementing a new system using solidworks.
Our standard practise has always been to input the BOM as a follows:
Item No. QTY Desc.
1 thru 4 6ea Panels
Can this be done with Solidworks-based BOM, or will I have to use an excel based BOM?

RE: Solidworks BOM - Merging like descriptions
Item No Qty Desc.
1 24 Panels
This is assuming you can model all four different panels in the same part file.
I don't think you can match your current practice with either type of BOM.

They are assumed to be all the same.
Configuration management should be #1.

If the SW assy is built correctly, the SW BOM should look like
Item No Qty Desc.
1 6 Panels
2 6 Panels
3 6 Panels
4 6 Panels
