Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials creates an item-by-item list of costs for all selected low voltage equipment, and determines the total equipment cost. The equipment in the Bill of Materials includes bus equipment such as switchgear, MCCs and panels, protective devices, cables and motors.

Bill of Materials can be run for your entire low voltage system or just a select group of equipment. To perform a Bill of Materials, select all the equipment you want to include in the Bill of Materials. To select a group of items, either highlight the items by drawing a box around them or holding the SHIFT key while selecting individual items. After selecting the items, click the arrow below  Auto Design and select Bill of Materials. This creates a Bill of Materials report.

You can also show the Bill of Materials report during the Auto Design process by selecting the Create Bill of Materials Report check box in Tools > Options > Auto Design in the General section.
