If this has been asked please forgive me -
- I have a plumbing assembly
We use both sides of a union and they appear in one assembly but have to be installed on two different "sub-assemblies".
Picture shows example of Union -
I assembled one to the left hand nipple and one to the right hand.
-They are the same part number - configuration allows which end to show - Therefore
The BOM shows my Union as 2 Quantity.
DETAIL DESCRIPTION QTY
P-UNION PLUMBING UNION 2
Is there a way to make the two a 1 without manually editing the quantity?
If i created a union with three components - Treaded End / Coupler and Nut that wouldn't help in this scenario as the Threaded end might be assembled in a different assembly.
I hope you get the idea behind what I am wanting to do.
In one of the sub-assemblies, set the part as "Exclude from BOM" would work.
