1.Before creating a new BOM style, you need to consider all its settings carefully.

1.1. What will be the sheet of the new BOM? What tables are required to enter the BOM items and fill in its title block?

1.2. What are the sections and subsections? What properties should each section have (sorting and numbering of items, etc.)?

1.3. What columns will be required?

1.4. What type of data will be filled in the columns in each section? In which sections the columns should not be filled?

1.5. What additional columns are required in the BOM? What kind of data will be filled in these columns? Will you need to sum up the values ​​in them?

1.6. Do you need the calculation of reference numbers and zones?

1.7. Will it be a group BOM?

1.8. Will you need to create version items in the BOM?

Fig. 1.9. Does the BOM require the blocks of additional sections? If so, which blocks are needed and which sections should be included in each of the blocks?

1.10. Do any sections of the BOM require nested section blocks? If so, which blocks are needed and which sections should be included in each of the blocks?

1.11. Which existing fill templates can be used in different sections? Inquire about the attribute type key combinations that match these templates.

2.If the title block required to create a BOM does not exist, create it. You can use a similar title block as a prototype.
The title block components should include a table for the input of BOM items. For this table the Use for BOM option shall be enabled. The header of this table may contain column names. The remaining cells of this table must be empty. In the advanced settings choose the For BOM table, type, nature of the entered data and specify the table row number.

3.Create a detailing containing the title blocks (forms) for the first and subsequent sheets of the BOM.
