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.
