Why Are Some Component Properties Missing in the CIS Standard BOM Output?

LogicNet

Hi,

I'm using OrCAD Capture CIS and have several custom properties populated on my schematic components. The properties are visible in the Property Editor for the placed parts, but when I generate a CIS Standard BOM, some of those columns appear blank in the Excel output.

Interestingly, the same information is available within the design, and when I generate a BOM using Tools > Bill of Materials, those property values are included correctly. This makes me wonder what criteria the CIS Standard BOM uses when determining which component properties to export.

Are there specific property settings, CIS mappings, or configuration options that control whether a property is included in the CIS BOM output?

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    Hi  ,

    One thing to check is whether the affected properties are configured with Transfer to Design in the CIS configuration. The CIS Standard BOM typically reports properties that have been transferred into the design.

    If a property is visible in CIS but is not marked for Transfer to Design, it may appear blank in the CIS BOM output. Try enabling Transfer to Design in Options > CIS Configuration > Setup for the affected properties, updating the components from the database, and generating the BOM again.

    Hope this helps!
