B.O.M. and mirrored parts

Hello,

I am newer to solidworks and am getting a little frusterated with my B.O.M. table. I have mirrored parts in my assembly that are identical (only left and right hand) and i want them to show up as the same name (one parent name) in my BOM table, with the quantity being 2. Instead rather, it has <part 1> qty. 1, and <mirrored part1> qty. 1. They are sheetmetal parts and only need to be bent differently.

I know there has to be a simple solution, however like i said i am new and cannot seem to find it. I have tried a variety of different things such as checking the "display all configurations of the same part as one item" with no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clay
