This is the screen that appears when opening the module. The product number is displayed in the Bill of Material Module screen header as a reference. The product information will remain on screen while viewing other sections of the BOM module. BOM Main may be used to view, edit, add or delete a Bill of Material. BOM Header information is displayed for any item located after a FIND. If any Line Items have been added to an assembly in the BOM Header, they will be displayed in the Detail Window below. The lines that are inactive will be highlighted in purple. Selection of a Line Item in the Detail Window will cause the other BOM screens to be populated with default and/or added information for that Line Item. Start with this screen to add a new BOM, edit an existing BOM, add a new Line Item or change detail information for existing Line Items.
The Header Information fields across the upper half of the screen are populated from the item master and from keyed-in assembly data. The fields in the Body (Detail Window) show information about the components included in the assembly.

Note: If the effectivity and obsolete dates are used, then it is possible to check the specific parts list at any given data using the BOM history.

 |
| Status |
The BOM Status: Active - BOM is Active;
Inactive - BOM is Inactive which will affect Cost Roll up. NOTE: Changing the BOM status to Inactive will NOT remove the MRP demands you MUST Inactivate the part number in ICM to remove the MRP demands. See Article #3430 for further detail.
Quote - This status is in case a BOM is in a quote stage and the user needs a reminder that the quote for this BOM is pending.
This status is for the BOM ONLY, it will NOT change the status of the Inventory part. The Inventory part status and BOM status can be different. This is to allow flexibility so the BOM can be inactive and will NOT be displayed in the BOM module, but the part will still be displayed in the inventory listing. Users will be allowed to change the status on a BOM from Active to Inactive with open SO, WO, etc. and MRP will still show demands. Users will also still be allowed to Create NEW SO, WO, etc if ONLY the BOM status is Inactive. Users will NOT be allowed to change the status on the Inventory part from Active to Inactive with open SO, WO, etc.

When the BOM is made Inactive this field will display the status along with the date and Initials of the user that Inactivated the BOM. |

This field must match the Customer for any Consigned parts used in the BOM.
|
| Setup Stscp |
This box MUST be checked if you wish for the setup scrap qty’s to be included in the Kitting and MRP calculations, Checking this box along with a Standard Bld qty will tell the system to use Setup Scrap when calculating the standard cost. Note: The "Exclude Scrap & Setup Scrap" options within the Kitting Setup module will overwrite this option.
|
|
Standard Bld
|
The quantity normally built. Entering a quantity in this box will be used when calculating the Standard Cost. See Article 3040 for information on how this affects the Std Cost. See Articles #3067 , #3053 , and #3320 for information on how this affects the Configuration Variance. |
| Last Change |
The date and time of the last change to the BOM automatically enters this field.

| Mgmt Lock |
This option is for BOM's that need to be protected, even from those users that have edit capabilities. Only Supervisors or users with Lock/Unlock rights within the Security/User rights can modify this checkbox. If locked, all users can access the screen, but only supervisors or those with Lock/Unlock rights will have the capability to bypass the lock and make changes, while the BOM is still in lock mode. The reason we do NOT force the user to unlock the BOM before making any changes, is to protect it from anyone else making changes while the 'authorized" user is making their changes.
