Intrinsic BOM Row Properties

Learn about the intrinsic BOM row properties available in Vault.

There are five intrinsic BOM row properties:

• Detail ID

  An identifier for the BOM row. This value is not necessarily related to the order in which the rows are presented.

  Since it is often necessary to re-order rows but to maintain a unique ID for each individual row for documentation purposes, the Detail ID allows you to track your BOM rows, regardless of their order in the BOM.

• Row Type

  Displays whether the BOM row was added manually or imported from a CAD file.

• Unit QTY

  This is the unit size.

• Item QTY

  This is the number of items in the row.

Important: Both Unit QTY and Item QTY properties can be edited for both CAD imported and Manual rows. However, if you edit a CAD imported row, the modified values are overwritten with the values from the CAD file the next time the item is updated.

Tip: Add custom or intrinsic BOM row properties so that they are visible in the BOMs by Customizing the BOM view.

See Create a BOM Row Property Definition for information on creating custom BOM row properties.
