Customize your bills of materials: Creating a bill of materials is an important step in the manufacturing process. Everyone has their own constraints and methods for extracting data. There isn’t really a standard in this area, so this tool gives you more options and makes it easier to adapt the product to your work methods.

The SmartBom tool is now integrated with PDM, provided you have a myPDMtools license. This means you can select folders directly from a PDM vault.

From the active assembly, a selected assembly, or a folder containing 3D documents, you can create one or more bills of materials. These bills of materials can be grouped and defined within a “Bill of Materials Project,” which displays the lists of required components. These bills of materials are defined in the “Project Management” tab.

You will need to select the component for which the bill of materials is requested.

The column settings for bills of materials can be customized.

The generated bills of materials can be tailored to specific requirements in order to refine the final content.

When using SmartBom, you can configure certain options.

Once all the information has been entered, you can start the process by clicking "Apply."
