Flat BOM Quantity Report
Get a complete picture of your product structure in one clear, consolidated view, instantly.
A Complete BOM Picture
The Flat BOM Quantity Report gives you a complete picture of your product structure in one clear, consolidated view. Every component is listed with its true quantity, its position in the hierarchy and its relationship to the rest of the assembly. No navigation through nested levels. No manual calculations. No guesswork.
This report helps teams work faster with clear, reliable information. You can access it from the Info Pane Summary tab, no matter where you are in the platform.
A Single Source of Truth for Complex Assemblies
As products grow in complexity, understanding how each part contributes to the whole becomes harder. This report solves that. It traces your entire structure through a depth first scan and calculates the correct quantity of each part by applying all inherited multipliers. Whether a component appears in one parent or ten, the report shows the exact count required for the final build.
Every row includes the part name, revision, lifecycle state, type and parent context. The structure becomes transparent, readable and ready for action.
Using the Flat BOM Quantity Report is Simple and Seamless
Access accurate, consolidated BOM data instantly, no deep navigation, no manual work. Just follow a few simple steps to get a complete, export-ready view of your product structure.
Visibility That Reveals What Matters
The report does more than flatten the structure. It makes patterns visible.
Reused parts stand out immediately. Repeated components under a single parent are grouped with their combined quantity for a cleaner view. Thumbnail previews help teams identify parts visually without leaving the report.
This level of clarity simplifies reviews, eliminates quantity mistakes, and supports better decisions across sourcing, cost planning and change management.
Built for Real Day to Day Use
- Engineers can understand the full impact of a change.
Procurement can see which components drive demand across assemblies.
Manufacturing can identify exact quantities required for upcoming builds.
Quality teams can trace affected parts without searching through multiple assemblies.
Everything is accessible in one organized table that mirrors how teams think and work.
Clearer Structures, Better Decisions
By combining accurate quantity rollups, reuse detection, visual identification and parent level context, the Flat BOM Quantity Report turns even the most complex product into something easy to understand. It improves communication, speeds up reviews and reduces errors that lead to delays or extra cost.
It is a simple idea executed with precision, and it brings measurable clarity to your product lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a Flat BOM Quantity Report?
The Flat BOM Quantity Report consolidates a multi-level Bill of Materials into a flat, single-level list showing each component (or part) only once – along with the total quantity required across all assemblies.
What kind of information does the report include?
The Flat BOM Quantity Report includes part numbers, descriptions, unit of measure, total quantity required, and other relevant metadata (e.g. supplier information, item status) – giving you a clean, actionable summary of material needs.
Can I export the Flat BOM Quantity Report?
Yes, like all reports in Nora IPLM, the Flat BOM Quantity Report can be generated and exported in common formats such as Excel or PDF for easy sharing, audit, or procurement workflows.
Does using a Flat BOM Quantity Report affect traceability or BOM history?
No, the Flat BOM Quantity Report is a reporting/export view only. It doesn’t replace or alter the hierarchical BOM maintained in the system. The full product structure, relationships, and revision history remain intact in Nora IPLM.
