I want to retrieve the quantity of a component that is specified in the BOM of an assembly that uses that component, so that it appears in the component plan.
In the Information Summary - Customize and Configuration Specific window, at the top right there is a drop-down menu with the words "Quantity in BOM"; From what is said in the help about this function, seems to correspond to what I want to do.
So I created a custom property "Qty", which I then selected from this drop-down menu. And then... nothing.
Can someone give me their insights regarding this function and its use?
The purpose of this function is to force the quantity of the part in question, in the BOM, instead of displaying the actual quantity in the assembly, it will use the value of the property designated in the drop-down menu.
You can't recover from the component the quantity of the component when it is in an assembly, imagine that this component is used in several assemblies, what value should it take?
