Create Part and Wire Bills of Material

Create a BOM report for HarnessAssembly1. Before you begin, verify that the harness assembly is saved and updated (Update command is not active).

Note: You can also create a complete bill of materials and parts lists using standard Autodesk Inventor features.

1. Open Enclosure_Assembly.iam from the Cable & Harness subfolder. It is the same assembly you used in the previous tutorial.
2. Double-click Harness Assembly1 to activate it for editing.
3. Click Cable and Harness tab Manage panel Report .
4. On the Report Generator dialog box, click Create Report.
5. On the Create Reports dialog box, click Add File to List. Then navigate to Tutorial Files\Cable & Harness\Report Generator\Part_Splice_Wire_Cable_BOM.cfg, and click Open.

   An output file Harness Assembly1_Part_Splice_Wire_Cable_BOM.csv is added to the list at the same time as the selected configuration file. It is located in the same directory as the associated harness assembly by default.

6. Double-click the output file name in the list, enter Part_Splice_WireCable_BOM1 and click Open.
7. Click OK in the Create Reports dialog box.

   The report and the output file generate with the specified name and location. The report displays in the Report Generator document window.

   The path of the last selected configuration file is the default path for subsequent file add operations.
