Adding Material listing to BOM (2000i)

[wolfymik]

I have assigned parts in an assembly a material type (setup, material), now I would like the material to be displayed on the BOM. Is material a system parameter? Here is a listing of my current BOM:

.breakdown
%$type %$name contains:
.titles Qty; Name; Type
.row %$quantity[-5d]; %$name[-32s]; %$type[-11.11s]


.summary
Summary of parts for assembly %$name:

.titles Name; Qty ; Thick ; Width ; Length
.row %$name[-31s]; %$quantity[-3d]; %D1[-3.3s];%D3[-3.3s];%D4[-3.3s]; %$material[-3s]

Hello,

What I think you need to do is the following:

the %$material should be %material

Let me know how you get on, as this is the first time I have looked at this and may need to know a bit more in the future.


Hope this helps.

Wolfymik,

You should add the following relation to each part if you want the material to be displayed on a BOM:

material = material_param("bend_table&quot

Be sure you have the material description on the "bend table" parameter of each material. No spaces allowed.

NO, material is NOT a system parameter.

Thanks for the input, it worked.

I setup the material and added the material type to the bend table. Then added the following relation to the part:
material = material_param("bend_table&quot

I also edited my custombom.fmt file as follows:

.breakdown
%$type %$name contains:
.titles Qty; Name; Type
.row %$quantity[-5d]; %$name[-32s]; %$type[-11.11s]


.summary
Summary of parts for assembly %$name:

.titles Name; Qty ; Thick ; Width ; Length ; Material

.row %$name[-31s]; %$quantity[-3d]; %D1[-3.3s];%D3[-3.3s];%D4[-3.3s];%material[-9s]

Thanks for all of the help.
