Edit BOM

[proboy]

Hi Friends,


How to edit the quantity in BOM manually.


I have a BOM generated automatically.


Any solutions.

Any help please!!!

I don't understand why you wish to edit manually !!! If for any reason you do wish to edit it manually.... Export the table as a CSV file. Import it into Excel. Edit the table in Excel and paste it as an object in Proengineer.
Move the Automatically generated table outside the drawing format.

It can be done with table relations.

If it's automatically generated/linked to the model, don't you want the quantity to match what's in the model?

I often don't have the same quantity in the model as in the BOM simply because it would make the assembly drawing too busy. One representation of the part is enough on the drawing to convey the idea of what the assembly consists of usually.

just remove that column from the table and add the column without it part of the repeat region and enter the qty maunually

That could be a problem if you have a lot of parts. Who wants to count thousands of screws?


It is easy to do with repeat region relations.


Here's how:


(this repeat region is using a user parameter called "PN", rather than the model name)


If asm_mbr_pn == "23-3100"
my_qty = "REF"
Else
If asm_mbr_pn == "23-31010"
my_qty = "1000"
Else
if asm_mbr_pn == "20520066"
my_qty = "none"
Else
if asm_mbr_pn == "20521234"
my_qty = "REF"
Else
my_qty = rpt_qty
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf
EndIf



/*** Replace "rpt.qty" with "&rpt.rel.my_qty" in repeat region.
