Multilevel bill of material - adjust quantity between level

atem

Hello Everyone, 

I am still Alteryx newbie and I am wondering how to adjust qty between levels in BOM. 

I have multilevel BOM, but each raw material's qty shows qty to produce only 1 unit of upper level subassembly. I need to adjust row's qty to consider qty of upper level subassembly (= how many n qty I need to produce n qty of upper level subassembly).

Below I am sharing an example and screen shot. 

Remark: please note a have many BOMs, not only BOM1 as in the example. I tried my best - but as I said I still learn...

Any solution? Thank you in advance! 

 

BOM IDRM IDlevel (byte)qty input (byte)qty output (expected result) MyComment
BOM1rm1111 as this is level 1 no change
BOM1sub2155 as this is level 1 no change
BOM1rm3215 change: upper level's qty is 5, so we need 5 rm's qty to produce 5 qty of upper level (5*1)
BOM1rm4215 change: upper level's qty is 5, so we need 5 rm's qty to produce 5 qty of upper level (5*1)
BOM1sub52315 change: upper level's qty is 5, so we need 15 rm's qty to produce 5 qty of upper level (5*3)
BOM1sub63230 change: upper level's qty is 15, so we need 30 rm's qty to produce 15 qty of upper level (15*2)
BOM1rm74260 change: upper level's qty is 30, so we need 60 rm's qty to produce 30 qty of upper level (30*2)
BOM1rm83345 change: upper level's qty is 15, so we need 45 rm's qty to produce 15 qty of upper level (15*3)
BOM1sub8111 as this is level 1 no change
BOM1rm9233 "change": upper level's qty is 1, so we need 3 rm's qty to produce 1 qty of upper level (3*1)
BOM1rm1011  as this is level 1 no change

look at the multi row tool that should help

Unfortunatelly, by using multirow fomula, I was only able to refer to "fixed" of rows "above", while in my case row line of upper level subassembly might vary, could be 1 above raw material, could be 99 above etc - it depends of BOM structure.
