The Bill of Material report includes only components with assigned catalog information.

Find
 Command entry:  AESCHEMATICREPORT

Select Bill of Material from the report list.

Specify whether to process the project or the active drawing.

Category

By default, the report lists schematic components. Select a different Category to run the report for one-line, one-line bus-tap, hydraulic, pneumatic, P&ID, or user-defined components. These components are each identified by a unique WDTYPE attribute value.

Include options

Include Cables

Specifies to include cable information in the report.

Include Connectors

List terminal numbers

Lists each individual Tag-ID and terminal number combination if selected. If unselected (default), the terminals are combined on the same Tag-ID strip into a single entry with a quantity.

Display option

Normal Tallied Format

Identical component or component/assemblies are tallied and reported as single line items (example: Red push-button operator 800EP-F4 with 800E-A3L latch and two 800E-3X10 N.O. contact blocks).

Normal Tallied Format (Group by Installation/Location)

Identical component or component/assemblies with the same installation/location codes are tallied and reported as single line items.

Display in Tallied Purchase List Format

Each part becomes its own line item (example: no longer any sub-assembly items) and each is tallied across all component types. For example, all 800E-3X10 N.O. contact blocks for all components are reported as a single line item.

Display in By TAG Format

All instances of a given component-ID or terminal tag are processed together and then reported as a single entry.

Installation Codes to Extract

Extracts only the information for components with specific installation values. Indicate to process all components that carry part number values, components without an installation code, or only components marked with a location code that matches that entered in the edit box. Wild-cards are supported.

Once you pick Named Installation, type the installation code in the box or click List: Drawing or List: Project to select from a list of used installation codes. You can also create a report from multiple installation codes. AutoCAD Electrical automatically creates a comma-delimited list for the named installation search.

Location Codes to Extract

Extracts only the information for components with specific location values. Indicate to process all components that carry part number values, components without a location code, or only components marked with a location code that matches that entered in the edit box. For example, BOM report for components marked "OP STA 2". Wild-cards are supported.

Once you pick Named Location, type the location code in the box or click List: Drawing or List: Project to select from a list of used location codes. You can also create a report from multiple location codes. AutoCAD Electrical automatically creates a comma-delimited list for the named location search.

Freshen Project Database

Specifies for AutoCAD Electrical to update the project database to include any out-of-date drawing files.

Format

Changes the format of the extracted data. The subdialog box lists the format files to select from.
