Hello
I'm considering using substitutes or alternates in a BOM I'm building. Key to the decision is how easy it is to 'see' them in reports and in day-to-day use of the search menus.
1) If I use a substitute, is there any way to see it in a BOM other than checking each individual component in turn? i.e. is there any standard view in which it's visible?
2) I have a version of the standard Multilevel BOM Report that I've hacked down to show just a couple of levels of parts and quantities. How would I add an alternate or substitute part to this report? I understand I'd need to add a new query to the Report tab; if you could help with that, I can probably figure out how to call it in the Stylesheet tab...
Many thanks
Bob
