Just flying this by you guys for ideas or if you have seen this before. We are on 10.0.700.4 and have been since 8/2015. Around the November 2016 timeframe we have had some reports of people printing Indented BOM Listings which were missing assemblies. They would print the second time and they were fine. Sometimes it’s one or two assemblies, sometimes it drastically reduces the number of pages rendered (SSRS and Crystal).
We went down the path of any report styles until we were able to duplicate with the out of the box report style. We have an escalated ticket with Support, they have seen the behavior demonstrated, but the fact that you can’t “make” it do it on demand prevents them from involving development.
We have seen the behavior in our Pilot environment and in our 10.1.500 testing environment.
We’ve had a couple of problems with BOM listing not providing everything as expected in 905702a. Namely:
if part is mfd in different plant than parent part, do not get bom for the lower level part that’s mfd in different plant (we did get this fixed via a retrofix)
If have an alternate method and check it as primary alternate method, system suppresses the indented bill of matl under the alternate method part in the full BOM for the parent
I know this is years later; but while we are leaving 10.1.500 soon, we are encountering this same problem. I can run BOM Listing 3 times in a row for the same part, same parameters and get 3 radically different outputs.
Support had me drop in a factory original BOM Listing rdl, but to no avail. It is happening so often that Support was able to witness the issue with their own eyes and could not deny on the grounds that we could not reproduce it.
At first it seemed that the issue was only when selecting Excel as our format. Now it is happening in PDF and Excel Data Only. I have yet to see it fail when output to CSV format.
