Configuring Parts in a BOM
Before parts can be added or viewed within a PTC FlexPLM BOM, the system administrator must enable the property to enable part visibility and update a configuration setting in the Type and Attribute Management utility.
Enabling Part Visibility
In the custom.lcs.properties file, the property com.lcs.wc.specification.parts.Enabled defaults to false. Change this property setting to com.lcs.wc.specification.parts.Enabled=true to show the part column.

This property controls part visibility throughout the PTC FlexPLM system, and is configured by the system administrator during the installation process.

Additionally, in the Type and Attribute Management utility, you must edit the Retail layout for the BOM type. Add the wcPartName attribute to the General Attributes group.
Displaying Part information in the Indented BOM Report
Multiple part occurrences are not shown in the BOM report by default. In other words, if a part occurs more than once in a structure, the default listing in the BOM report only shows that part one time. To enable multiple part occurrences in the BOM report, change the property setting for com.lcs.wc.partstruct.WCPartStructureQuery.includeOccurrences to com.lcs.wc.partstruct.WCPartStructureQuery.includeOccurrences=true.
