OrCAD Capture Symbol and Multiple BOM Items

hvihvelin

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to have a Capture symbol be linked to multiple BOM items.

The example I have is a Battery Holder that uses two of the same contact clip for the Positive and Negative Terminals.

I want a single schematic symbol and footprint for this part, so that its dimensions don't have to be considered every time a new design is made.

For the BOM, this part should come out to QTY=2, for each placed Battery holder but it comes out as one because of the CIS/CIP linking. 

Anyone know of a solution or workaround?

Thanks.
