BOM - Config, QTY, and BOM Template... HELP!

Greetings,

I am having difficulties trying to create a usable BOM template for our company - this is a cry for help...

I have attached a jpeg of what I would like to do (BOM_desired_config_qty_block.jpg). Notice the divided qty/config cell.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, but if it is I would love to learn how to do it.

I have created a BOM template (BOM_template_created.jpg).

Notice the -10 QTY & -20 QTY configs. "-10/QTY." (the SW default) was deemed unacceptable.

Now, please see the "BOM_same_template_inserted.jpg". This is the same template I have just created being inserted.

Notice the config/qty cells.

Also, I have set all of the rows & columns to the exact size I wanted/needed... AND locked them.

- apparently that means nothing.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Brandon Campbell
