We use a lot of multilevel BOMs for our products.
So let's say we have a product called "Car A".
I would like to have a filter, which lists all products/parts used to build "Car A".
With an additional filter "screw" I would be able to list all screw types which are used to build "Car A".
Because all our BOM-names start with an acronym for the corresponding final product (in this case "Car A") we wouldn't necessarily need to list BOM-parts recursively.
I wasn't able to achieve this with custom filters or even the "Manage Filters" view, because there is no field "used by" or "parent" in the database.
Currently I use the PDF-Report of "Structure & Cost" and search through the list manually...
Am I missing something or do you have any suggestions?
Thank you!
An other example:
If I have a "Table A" with the components "metal leg", "table top" and "screw".
And I have a "Table B" with the components "wooden leg", "table top" and "screw".
I would like to have a filter where if I use the keyword "table", I would get:
metal leg
wooden leg
table top
screw
