CCE, a leading provider in advanced interoperability technology and engineering services, has found that the BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, has sparked a huge interest, making it one of the most widely-used tools by avid users.
The BOM tool, in EnSuite-View, can be used to view the bill of materials within assemblies and displays the following information:
- All unique parts, with number of occurrences in the assembly, and their metadata.
- Any unique part, as well as all the transformations of that part available within the assembly.
Many different operations can be performed while using the BOM tool, including:
- A sub-assembly can be marked as a purchased item in order to ignore the parts available under that particular sub-assembly from the BOM.
- The BOM can be exported to HTML and XLS formats.
- Any component, listed in the BOM table, can be opened.
- Assembly structure can be shown with indentations.
