Theme: Create a Bill Of Material (BOM)

How can I exclude a component from the bill of material?
The component property "BILL_OF_MATERIAL" with the value "NO" ensures that the component is not output in the bill of material. Click with M11 on the desired component handle and then enter the above property with "NO" in the dialog using the [Properties] button.

The same way can a component be excluded from the Pick&Place assembly list: Add the component property "PICK_AND_PLACE" with the value "NO".
