Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail (data from member BOM)

Tool summary :

  • Reports bill of material information for each member detail that you select from a list of members whose details are up to date.
  • The " Plot Order " at Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Sheets and Reports > Bill of Material Layout sets up which columns appear on this report.
  • At minimum, the report should be set up to show "Piece Mark" and "Unit Quantity" and "Total Quantity" and "Description" and "Unit Weight" and "Total Weight."

    The report matches the plotted bill of material. If you want a report that does not match the plotted BOM, you can output, for example, a Bill of Material Report 1 by Detail .
  • See report header for an explanation of information that appears in the header of this report. See columns on the report for an explanation of each of the columns that can be made to appear on the report. Step-by-step instructions provide additional information.
  • You may want to output this report instead of placing a bill of material on a sheet, or to serve as an extra copy of the BOM data for a member that is on a sheet.

  How to output a Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail :

The data columns in this report are exactly the same those in a newly placed bill of material that uses the same " Plot Order " settings from Bill of Material Layout .

1 . Before output of the report(s):

1a : Configure the columns that appear on this report (and the order in which they appear) by assigning items a " Plot Order " in Bill of Material Layout . Example : You can configure the report to tell you how many submaterial pieces (designated by a minor mark) are required to fabricate a particular shipping member (designated by a major piecemark), the unit weight of each submaterial, the total weight of each member, and also the material description.

1b : This type of report is compiled from the bills of material of members. Only a member that has been automatically detailed can generate a Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail . A warning message is generated listing members that you select which have not yet been detailed.

1c (optional) : You can Edit Bill to alter the information that will be compiled into this report for a particular member detail. However, do not auto detail the member after making these changes -- your alterations to the member's bill will be lost.

2 . Use any one (1) of the following methods to begin output of this report:

Method 1 : Home > Reports > System Reports > Bill of Material > Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail .

Method 2 : Click the Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Reports ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning). Ribbon configuration is done using Customize Interface .

Method 3 : If " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Reports > Bill of Material Plot Order by Detail .

3 . A selection dialog opens. On it is a list of those member details in your current Job that are up to date and therefore not marked for detailing .

 B_17
 B_18
 B_21
 B_25
 B_30
 B_31
 
You can use the listing options " Hide ... " and " Show All " to adjust which classes of members are shown on the selection list. " Destination " can be used to temporarily redirect where the report will be output.

Alternative 1 : Select the member details you want separate reports to be compiled from, then press " OK. " Go to step 4.

Alternative 2 : Press " Cancel " to end this operation without outputting the report(s). Do not continue.

4 . A Bill Plot Reports is output for each member detail that you selected.

Note 1: If you selected members that have not yet been detailed, you get a warning with a list of those not-yet-detailed members. A report is not generated for any of those members.

Note 2: If you output the reports to the report viewer (" Screen "), you can now review the reports on screen then optionally print them or output them to disk (see report viewer ).
