How to get two parts appear as one part in BOM?
How to get two parts appear as one part in BOM?
(OP)
This question has two levels. We have a common wood part that is 4" x X", two of these parts go on each assembly. When we cut the parts out, it is cut as one 8.125" x X" part. It has an edges applied to it, then cut in half, creating two 4" x X" parts. The edges cannot be applied to a part smaller than 6" wide (a machine limitation).
The drawings and model of these assemblies need to show these as two separate parts. The BOM needs to show this as a single part.
Is these a way to accomplish this without having to manually add a configuration every time? Can fool solidworks in to populating the BOM with a single part?

@Corblimeylimey to complicate things further, we use CamWorks to program our CNC machine. It separates multibodies in to separate parts to cut.
@Jboggs, that defeats the purpose of the list. I want it in the BOM, but I need to show it as the size it needs to be cut at. We create similar assemblies 100+ times a day, which is why I'm looking for a creative way to not have to manually process these parts each time.
