Edit Bom Screen

This screen allows you to create or edit the bill of materials for the manufacturing of a product.

Clicking the [Bom Simulation] button will take you to the Bom Simulation Screen for the product you are manufacturing. Clicking the [Show BOM] button will show information about the components of this item and products of which this item is a component.

You may edit the BOM using the following fields:

• Bom Type - is the type of process you are analyzing (either an "Engineering Bom" or a "Manufacturing Bom"). Select the correct Bom simulation type using the drop down menu.
• Product ID - is the product you are manufacturing. Enter the internal ID of the product manually or search for it using the lookup widget.
• Product ID To - is the component of the manufactured product that is being edited or created.
• From Date - (Will be set to now if empty) is the date from which the BOM component will be active.
• Thru Date - is the date to which the BOM component will be active.
• Sequence Num - is used to order the components in the BOM.
• Reason
• Instruction - allows you to enter any relevant instructions for the manufacturing of the product.
• Quantity - is the number of units of the product created or number of units of components required.
• Scrap Factor % - is the percentage of the materials that is left over after the product is manufactured.
• Formula - Select the formula for the Bom simulation to use (for example, "Example bom formula (qty * k)" or "Bom formula for linear components") using the drop down menu.
• Routing Task - if set the component will only need to be issued when this task is starting during the manufacturing process, else components are need to be issued when the first task of the manufacturing process is started
• Only for Routing - if set, the selected routing will define an alternate BOM, see Using Alternate Bom.
