My real world example was printing out kit BOMs with an order packing 
slip based upon order lines.  So, if they ordered 3 of kit A and 5 of 
kit B, the report would get the order line/product/product bom 
de-normalized table and be able to repeat the group on Kit A 3 times and 
Kit B 5 times.

I have since abandoned the approach and made it simplified.  I just do a 
single product BOM based upon a product/product bom de-normalized 
bizobj. If I need to generate kit BOMs with a packing slip, I 
programatically scan the list and gen the report the needed amount of times.

Nate
