This topic also came from my co-worker Paul, who was asked to assist a customer with his question:

From the Customer: Although we may stocklist hangers to
ensure we have a good amount of material, we do not actually fabricate any
hangers…Is there a way to have hangers marked as
“loose” from the get go so they don’t print on the misc “fabbed” report AND
show up as “L” in the inventory transfer file?

Paul's Response: Hanger material is
assumed to be fabricated by default. To make the hanger
material report loose:

1. Open the Assembly Table
in the General Data area
2. Check the boxes that say
'Use Hanger Grid' and 'List as Hanger'
3. Enter the letter L
in the M/L column and save the assembly

This will make all the
material in the assembly list as loose

Hangers

Below is a list of
options for the M/L column, from the HydraLIST manual:
