BOM display with multiple configurations

How about renaming the configuration to a more applicable name like "Fixture". Then you get "Fixture Qty". ?????

I think it depends where you change the value. If you change it in the Column Properties Title box, the value will revert to config/QTY, but if you dbl click in the cell, and just edit it right on the screen, the value appears to remain changed, even if you change other things in the BOM.

Try also double clicking the cell

Tried it both ways. If you rebuild, our release program does an automatic CTRL+Q before printing documents, the stupid configuration name comes back. You would figure that if you changed it in the column properties box it would stick. No dice.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Maybe it's your release program, cuz here, the new name survives, ctrlQ, adding parts to the assy, editing table properties, etc. I'm using sp0.1

1. Select the config you want to display.
2. When the BOM is created, highlight the qty header field and change the name to QTY (NO FULL STOP [period] after QTY). This will stop it changing.
3. Re-size columns as required (QTY column can now be made narrower).
4. RMB on BOM and save as template. You will not have the problem again if you use this BOM template instead of the standard SW BOM template.
