I added a custom variable to my assembly/ drawing file properties. To be specific "SAP Number". However I can't figure out the way to bring it in my BOM's custom property list.
How can I call out this new property "SAP Number" as a global property? I use PDM vault also and have this variable added in there just like the others.
Click Edit List, this edits your properties.txt file.
If common, save to a network location.

Hi Kevin,
The list already contains the variable. I am wondering if the BOM template has to be edited, would you know?
It looks like that property is in your Drawing custom properties. To call out a property in a BOM the property needs to belong to the Part file, not the Drawing. Add the property in the Part and then it should show up in the drop-down for the column.
