SW BOM - multiple configs - all parts

    We just noticed that you don't have the option to display multiple configs
    in a BOM if you have it set to show Parts only. Is there any particular
    reason this should be so?

    We had this problem...

    If you define a configuration specific description for each
    configuration in a single part then the components show as different
    items in the BOM as it will default to the config specifc description
    and not the custom property description. This at least worked for an
    excel based BOM. Of course you wouldnt have to use the description
    property as the differential but probably a property that is displayed
    in the BOM.

    Hope that helps
