Do the latest versions of Unigraphics include the ability to create and manage a Bill of Materials?
If not, what bolt-on software is available, and what are your experiences using it?

RE: BOM's
Can it be tailored?
Will it let you input things like material, finish, weight etc?
Can it perform a sign-off loop i.e. get electronic ticks from everybody on an e-mail list before releasing the part to the BOM?
RE: BOM's
We use attributes at the detail part level to capture the part number, drawing size and part title. I then use the attribute titles to build the partslist. If added weight to my partslist format, I could have it in the assembly since I have a weight attribute in my details. There are also some 'hardcoded' fields that can be used in the partslist like quantity, item number, component name, etc. We choose not to use any of the UG supplied fields except quantity and item number.
If you want further details contact me directly.
