RE: parts keeps excluding themselves from BOM.

Are they tagged as fasteners, and are you using a BOM that excludes fasteners?

RE: parts keeps excluding themselves from BOM.

Another thought, are these screws in the top level of your assembly or in a subassebmly?  Excel BOM or SW Table style?

RE: parts keeps excluding themselves from BOM.

Check the Component Properties setting by selecting the screws in the Assembly with the BOM and see if Exclude from BOM option is checked off. They also may have a design table setting for Always exclude from BOM set in the spreadsheet.
