I was wondering if there is an easy way to force the catia BOM number to match the partnumber, short of writing a script to do it?

I want to match the catia generated number for ballooning and the PartNumber that appears in the tree.
 
That is script material, but why do you want to rename parts??? I would not recommend renaming parts, if you work in cache mode you can lose links to other parts.

Just wondering for my boss's sake, thanks
 
In drafting you can balloon with partnumber...

Balloon Creation Associativity with : Numbering / Part Number / Instance Name
