It seems (although I am not quite sure it is the case) that in switching from SW 2010 to SW 2011 that the properties we've assigned to our parts (via file>properties) have gone haywire. Have a look at the attached BOM.
Some of the parts desciptions have ended up in the P/N column and some of the desciptions & materials have been changed to numbers anywhere from 1-4.
Any ideas what has happened here? One of my co workers figures this BOM was working last time he opened it (which was back when we were running 2010).
Hey Dean,
There have been numerous reports on bugs regarding the BOM handling in sw2011.
Check out this thread...sounds like you may have the same issue...
