BOM - Open generated outputs

Open generated outputs

When creating Excel BOM from Altium, I recommend that you check the Open generated outputs option. 

This is because if you have the same BOM open (maybe it is behind a window or has been minimized to the task bar) Altium will not create the BOM and you will not receive any warning from Altium that the tool failed to create the BOM.
