BOM annoyance - config shows in column header

    ok, I cannot find a way to stop the qty column of my BOM from displays
    "config_name/QTY." I don't want the configuration name displayed here,
    I just want QTY. Even over riding the heading wont work as it
    refreshes before I print.

    Is there a known work around for this?

    Thanks,

  3. You don't necessarily just have to remove the period - you just need to
    change it from the default. The default heading is QTY. and SW looks at
    that heading and decides that what it sees is supposed to be something and
    therefore fixes it. By typing something else into that cell, you tell it to
    ignore what's there as far as evaluating it, and just display it. However,
    the most common thing to put is QTY and so people figure that what the
    default is will work, without realizing the ramification of leaving it.
