Dynamics AX 2012 - Positions in BOM

Question

I need help not with code but with conception. I BOM table there ale BOMs with field Position. I need to 'slice' this field into each position for example BOM position "A1-A3, 45" should be exported into excel like this:

• BOMid A1
• BOMid A2
• BOMid A3
• BOMid 45

How to do this without using a lot of memory, creating new tables?

Answer 1

You could take a look at the data import/export entity for bill of material lines and add some parsing logic for the text in field Position to split one BOM record into several records in the staging table. The data from the staging table could then be exported into Excel.
