Our company is making a change and I was wondering what other companies have done and some pros and cons to each way of doing this. Currently we quantify parts on the schematic BOM and also call them out on the installation or sub assembly BOM but give them a quantity of "0". For example a pump or a valve is currently quantified on the schematic BOM, but called out as an item in the installation BOM with a quantity of "0". We want to eliminate the "0" quantities and make "actual" quantities on the installation drawing BOMs and eliminate the call out on the schematic BOMs altogether. Do other companines quantify components on schematics or installations? If not on schematics, then how do you note the expected performance of a component on the schematic for design analysis and trouble shooting?
