Hello
I am having a problem with my automatic bills of materials, when I generate it I end up with false quantities, and no can (example: for a real quantity of 8 pieces it shows me 458 871) I think it is related to the repetitions but I am not sure
Has anyone ever encountered this problem and if so, is there a solution?
Hello and welcome Antoine_PHILIBERT,
Indeed there is a big problem there.
Watch this video, hoping it will explain a little in detail what I'm telling you =>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDII7xlpV48
Here are the details of my assembly (SW2022SP4)=>
Good luck.

To start with, how do you generate your nomenclature? (Automatic bills of materials?)
From an MEP, an assembly, via solidorks (what options?) via a utility, a macro?
Thank you for detailing your way of proceeding to answer your request more precisely.
Thank you for following your method, it shows me the right quantity. I could at least correct them by hand thanks to that.
Simply since I was shot. inserting tables > > BOM, the Qty column is there by default
What are your export options?
Is the qty on the plan good? (and therefore error during export) Or qty error on the MEP as well?
No, the qty is bad as soon as the name is created on the MEP:
and here are my options for creation:
Do you have any hidden rooms (see @A_R )?
Do you have in your main assembly (the one of the nomenclature) sub-assemblies that would include this part again (Qty error)
Your BOM options are not for a 1st level, do you want a complete BOM of your assembly A (with everything it includes, including the details of all the parts of the subassemblies included in your assembly A?)
Any configurations in your assembly?
Are the quantities always wrong or just in this assembly?
A possible example to share?
Hello Atoine_PHILIBERT,
I will also add this comment=>Nomenclature 3d quantity moves
Maybe it's a bug in progress... Let's see, if it corresponds to your version.
Where to see this=>Insert part qty in drawing

Hello
I agree with @sbadenis
Several things to consider in your assemblies impacting your nomenclatures. I'm skipping the configurations, apparently you've set up your nomenclature well. But you have to see more in your nomenclature configuration if you are at the first level or if you have selected only the parts.
Hiding a part = doesn't remove it from the nomenclature, it's just graphic.
Deletion status = the part is deleted in your assembly temporarily (if configured), it is subtracted from your BOM
Exclude from the BOM directly via the assembly (This implies that only for this assembly and only it and in this configuration (unless you tell it in the drop-down menu next to it). If this part is used elsewhere, it will belong to a different nomenclature
Be careful not to apply the exclusion directly in the default configuration of your room
Promote Assembly = This indicates that the subassembly no longer exists, but the parts in it move up one level. If your BOM is set to the 1st level only, you will see the parts of your promoted sub-assembly in your BOM
Unpromoted case of sub-assembly (see below). Graphically my parts are still visible in my main assembly, but my BOM shows the sub-assembly as a part.
Cases under assembly promoted
The assembly has disappeared but what it contains has been reassembled on the 1st level
Hide in the subassembly configuration. Hides child components in a BOM, even if they are displayed in BOM Type. Subassembly appears as a single item in the BOM, whether you're at the top level or part only.
Envelope= This option allows you to create environments for example, and allows you to quickly exclude unwanted elements from the BOM. they appear green/transparent.
Last thing, create a column with the quantity property to see if the BOM is not wobbly.
Personally, I recommend using a method, and you stick to it, because modeling can influence your nomenclature.
If all the explanations to find what influences your nomenclature have not been useful to you, they will be useful to others perhaps.

Be careful when you say hide, in the assembly or in the configuration it can be confusing.
Wouldn't you have associated in the nomenclature several configurations that would have parts or whose cumulation would give large quantities?
