Toolbox part numbers with custom BOM.

I'm trying to set up toolbox at our company and have ran intoan obstacle.

We use a custom BOM for all our drawings. Each fastener has is it'sown file and our custom BOM pulls a static link from the fastener'scustom properties "PartNo" property name we create. (Yes I knowthis is the worst way to do it) But I came into this storm. I'mjust trying to fix this spreading "virus" we have.

My question is how to I set up the toolbox parts to have thatPartNo property set to populate our custom BOM correctly? I do knowyou can set up the user properties to create a new part numberevery time you add a new part to an assembly? But, is that smart touse in a multi-user environment. Will it use that part again youcreate the next time you use it? Plus that seems like a lot of workand extra file space we don't need.
