Bills of Materials

In a tube and pipe bill of material (BOM), conduit parts and fittings from the Content Center that make up routes and runs are set to Purchased. Primary runs assembly, rigid route sketches, hose splines, and hose assemblies are not distinct line items in the bill of materials, so they are set to Phantom.

You can override the default BOM structure to meet your design needs. For instance, if you want to create and export the BOM information for specific routes and runs, set all other routes or runs to the Reference BOM structure. In addition, using the BOM Editor, you can:

• Edit materials.
• Add custom iProperties.
• Enable structured and parts-only BOMs and set view properties accordingly.
• Enable the part number merging and set the merging criteria.
• Set quantity overrides for components.
• Control whether different components with the same part number can be merged into one row. If the merging is enabled, you can create your own list of values to exclude from being merged into one row. The blank part number is permanently excluded so different components with the blank part number do not merge.
  Note: If you are migrating tube and pipe drawings from R9 or earlier versions, ensure the stock number (Stock Number) and conduit segment length (Base QTY) properties are selected into the BOM table.
