BOM & Balloons not matching?

What would caused the itme numbers in the balloons to not match the items in
the BOM when detailing an assembly?

Thanks

The first thing that comes to mind is that the BOM & the view are not
referencing the same configuration.

Make sure that "Keep linked to BOM" is selected in the Drawing view
Properties.

 

If its before 2007 and you are using the excel based BOM there would be
views that are different configurations. We had this problem and had to
place a BOM for each of the different configurations we had drawing
views for. We hid those BOMs that weren't needed but the balloons would
then match up. If you're using the SW BOM then you have to make sure
that every view is linked to the correct BOM or make sure that the BOM
is referencing the correct configuration.

 

Thanks for the answers. The "keep BOM linked" was the culprit. I had never
noticed that before, I just assumed that when you pick a view for the BOM
it is then linked forever.. Learn something new everyday..I do have another
question, see a new post from me.

Thanks again to all,
Jeff
