The Where Used Report shows which BOM assemblies contain a selected component part.
What this report is for
Use Where Used Report when you need to understand the assemblies affected by a component part. This is useful before component substitutions, inventory review, purchasing review, or engineering cleanup.
This report is read-only. It does not update BOMs or inventory.

Dashboard > Manufacturing > Reports > Where Used Report
Report input
Use Select Component Part to type or select a component part number. The list includes component parts used in BOMs, with part descriptions in the suggestion list.
When the entered value exactly matches a component part, PAX loads the report automatically.
Results
The report heading shows Assemblies Using: {selected part}.
The table includes:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
Parent Part Number |
BOM parent that uses the selected component. |
Description |
Parent BOM description. |
UOM |
Parent unit of measure. |
Available |
Parent part available quantity. |
If no parent BOMs use the part, PAX shows This part is not used in any BOMs.
What happens behind the scenes
When the report opens, PAX loads distinct component parts from BOM component records.
When a component is selected, PAX reads BOM components where that part is used and returns the related BOM header and parent inventory availability.
The report does not create or update BOM, inventory, work order, or accounting records.
Troubleshooting
The component is not in the selector
Likely cause: The part is not currently used as a BOM component.
Safe fix: Confirm the part number and BOM setup.
Contact support if: The part is used in a BOM but does not appear.
No assemblies are shown
Likely cause: The entered value does not exactly match a component part, or the component is not used in any BOMs.
Safe fix: Select the part from the list instead of typing a partial value.
Contact support if: The component should return parent assemblies.
