Edit Bom Screen

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

To access this screen from the main navigation page,
Click: [Purchasing] Icon > [Manufacturing] Tab > [Edit BOM] button
The Edit Bom Screen opens in the BOM Type "Manufacturing Bill of Materials" mode.
Note that BOM Type "Engineering Bill of Materials" mode is not used at this time.

Viewing an existing BOM

Enter a Product ID for the existing product in the box 
Click [Show BOM] to view the current BOM data.

Clicking the [Show BOM] button will show information about the components of this Product BOM for the Product ID you specified, and also the products of which this item is a component, if any.

Create a New BOM

Define the new product in the Catalog Manager and obtain a Product ID
Enter the Product ID for the new product in the Product ID box
Click [Show BOM] to open a new BOM screen.
When information is added to the screen using the following functions, the new BOM 
  is created and saved.

Editing the BOM

When you have opened the BOM for an existing or new BOM you can proceed with editing the content. You may enter or 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.
