This button is located on the side button bar of the Inventory Item BOM tab. When clicked, this button dumps the BOM to a CSV formatted file that can then be imported into Excel.

The user may launch Excel with the newly created CVS file loaded directly from SAM Pro.
The CSV file contains the following columns: Master Id, Description, Quantity, UM, Component Id, Description, Unit Cost, and Total Cost.
