When the property is defined and set, the Multi-Level BOM Roll-up action is enabled. The property value that is specified controls the attributes, using their internal names, available to the end users when performing the roll-up summation calculations for one or more roll-up eligible attributes on a bill of materials. The attributes specified in a comma-separated list must be of Integer, Real, Real Number with Units, or Boolean data types defined on a part.
This property is deprecated and will be terminated in a future Windchill release.
