Including or Excluding Components from the BOM

You can include or exclude components of a CATIA structure from the BOM. You can exclude components during generation of BOM even if they are included in the structure. Components excluded from the BOM are also excluded from the Engineering Bill of Materials. You cannot select the excluded components from the EBOM synchronization page.

  1. In CATIA, right-click the required component and select Properties.
    The Properties dialog box appears.
  2. Select the Product tab.

    Note: By default, the Product tab is selected when you open the Properties dialog box for the first time in an active session.

  3. In the Component area, select the Visualize in the Bill Of Materials check box to include the selected document in the BOM.

    OR

    In the Component area, clear the Visualize in the Bill Of Materials check box to exclude the selected document from the BOM.

    Note: By default, the Visualize in the Bill Of Materials check box is selected.

  4. Click OK.

When you create a BOM from root node, the selected document is included or excluded from BOM depending on whether the Visualize in the Bill of Material check box is selected or cleared.
