REPORT Creo BOM Custom Report Indexes to Excel

Overview

This video demonstrates how to export Creo BOM custom report indexes to Excel using Nitro-BOM. Custom report indexes in Creo define the structure and content of BOM reports — they control which parameters appear, in what order, and how the data is organized. Nitro-BOM can read these report index configurations and export them to Excel, giving you visibility into how your BOM reports are structured. This is useful for auditing your report configurations, comparing report setups across different assemblies or projects, and documenting your BOM reporting standards. The video shows how to extract the report index data, interpret the exported information in Excel, and use it to standardize or troubleshoot your Creo BOM report configurations. Understanding your report indexes helps ensure consistency across your organization's BOM outputs.

Key Steps

1. Open the Creo assembly with the custom report indexes you want to examine
2. Launch Nitro-BOM and select the Report Indexes export function
3. Execute the export to generate the report index data in Excel
4. Review the exported data to understand your current report configurations
5. Compare report indexes across assemblies to identify inconsistencies

Tips

• Use this feature to audit and document your organization's BOM report standards
• Exported report indexes can help troubleshoot why certain parameters appear or are missing in reports
• Share the exported configurations with team members to standardize BOM reporting
