BOM Customization (search for either or parameter)

$

0

HI all,

I'm creating a customized BOM report, in which I need to able to include the string content of the part 'Description' parameter. This currently works fine as I've edited the 'bom_format.bft'  file as required. However, it is now a little more complex as some of the assemblies are using legacy parts generated overseas which do not contain a 'Description' parameter but an 'equivalent alternative'. My question is how to get the BOM report to search for the 'equivalent alternative' parameter in the absence of the 'Description' parameter?

 

I have successfully managed to do this with BOM tables in drawings, but in this instance I am generating the report from the assembly via the 'Bill of Materials'  route.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Bob
