SW09 BOM Headings - Quantity??

SW09 BOM Headings - Quantity??

SW09 BOM Headings - Quantity??

(OP)
Is there a way to remove the configuration name from the heading for quantity in a bill of materials? If I have multiple configurations in an assembly, the name of the configuration shows up in the column heading for quantity. For example, if there are two configurations labeled "EXTENDED" and "RETRACTED" in the assembly. When I create the bill of materials in the drawing, the title for the quantity column changes from "QTY" to "EXTENDED-QTY" or "RETRACTED-QTY" depending on which configuration I am using. Is there a way to tell it just to use "QTY"?

Tools > Options > Document Properties > Tables > Bill Of Material --- Restrict top-level only BOMs to one configuration

-or-

Remove the . (period) from the QTY. header.
