how do I get Part numbers so show up in BOM

Hello,

I am pretty new to SW(been using it for about a year).  I have tried to use the BOM function of SW but it does not put the part number in the table.  I have to edit the table to get the part numbers to show.  The description of the table shows the name of the part.  Was I supposed to name the part with the part number or is there a way to fix this?  Is there a best practices guide .anywhere?

thanks,

Jeff
