Is there a way to separte two like items in a BOM (one line
with a QTY of 2) into to seperate items( two lines with a QTY of
1)? any suggestions?
You may not have gotten your answer in 2008. But i was looking for a solution in 2016, and stumbled upon it. I wrote a post to share what I found with others. See my post at Ungrouping QTY Items in a BOM .
In short, you use Component Reference in the Assy to assign unique identifiers. Then with a little trickery, change the Item # column property to component reference and walla, the BOM will ungroup.
Hope this helps!
