BOM Class

A single select lookup to identify the class of the BOM record.  This defaults from the Class selected from the New button when the record was created but can be changed prior to the initial save. This is required and is not editable after the initial save. 

The lookup contains the list of all 'Active' BOM Classes.

Database Field: ERPx_IMBOM.BOMClassSK

BOM ID

A textbox that identifies the unique ID for the BOM record. This can be manually entered on new but if not specified, it will be auto assigned from the 'Doc Prefix' + 'Next Num.' from the BOM Class that was selected when the record was created.  This is only editable prior to the initial Save. This must be unique and no duplicates are allowed, else the message "[BOM ID]: BOM ID has already been used." will display on Save.

 Identifies the BOM Item, displayed as Item ID: Description.  This is a text box that is required. It defaults as blank but is required, if missing the message "BOM Item is required." is displayed on Save. It is only editable prior to the initial Save then it is disabled. 

 Only one combination of the same Item and Site can be on an Open BOM record

Database Fields: ERPx_IMItem.ItemID, ERPx_IMBOM.ItemSK

BOM Units

A numeric textbox to identify the target units of a typical Batch of a BOM Item. This defaults to blank and is not required. If entered the value must be > 0 else the message "BOM Units must be blank or greater than 0." will be displayed on save. This is formatted to the # of decimals specified on the BOM Item's 'Unit Decimal Places' in the Item Master. This is only editable for BOM Items with a 'Manage Items By' property value of "Units Only" or "Units and Weight". 

If a BOM Item is typically produced in batches of 300 cases then this would be set to 300. This quantity is then used to scale each of the 'Inventory Items' and 'Cost Items' if the BOMs scaling UOM is the Units UOM.

Database Field: ERPx_IMBOM.Units

nopaneltrue
 This defaults to the Item's default Inventory Unit UOM and is always disabled. 

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMID, ERPx_IMBOM.UnitsUOMSK

BOM Weight

A numeric textbox to identify the target weight of a typical Batch of a BOM Item. This defaults to blank and is not required. If entered the value must be > 0 else the message "BOM Weight must be blank or greater than 0." will be displayed on save. This is formatted to the # of decimals specified on the BOM Item's 'Weight Decimal Places' in the Item Master. This is only editable for BOM Items with a 'Manage Items By' property value of "Weight Only" or "Units and Weight". 

If a BOM Item is typically produced in batches of 2,000 lbs then this would be set to 2,000. This quantity is then used to scale each of the 'Inventory Items' and 'Cost Items' if the BOMs scaling UOM is the Weight UOM

Database Field: ERPx_IMBOM.Weight

BOM Weight UOM

nopaneltrue
 This defaults to the Item's default Inventory Weight UOM and is always disabled. 

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMID, ERPx_IMBOM.WeightUOMSK

Fixed Cost

A numeric textbox to specify a fixed cots rate for the BOM Item.  This defaults to blank and is not required.  If entered, the value must be >=0, else the message "Fixed Cost must be greater than or equal to 0." is displayed on Save.  It is editable while the record is in 'Open' Status. 

BOM Items are typically valued from the sum of the costs of all the 'Inventory Items' and 'Cost Items'. However, in some cases the BOM Item needs to be assigned a standard or fixed cost. This is most commonly used to cost By-Products and/or waste items. This is editable from the record view.

Database Field: ERPx_IMBOM.FixedCostRate

Scaling UOM

A single select lookup to identify the scaling UOM for the BOM Item. This defaults based on the Item's 'Manage Items By' property on the Item master file as follows:

  • If the BOM Items 'Manage Items By' property is either "Weight Only" or "Units and Weight" then this defaults from BOM Item's default Inventory Weight UOM
  • If the BOM Items 'Manage Items By' property is "Units Only" then this defaults from BOM Item's default Inventory Units UOM.  

The selected value must be either the BOM Units UOM or BOM Weight UOM else the message "Scaling UOM must match either BOM Units UOM or BOM Weight UOM." will be displayed on Save. For example, if the BOM Units UOM is 'Case' and the BOM Weight UOM is 'Lbs', the Scaling UOM can only be set to either 'Case' or 'Lbs'.  It cannot be set to 'Kg' for example, even if 'Kg' exists on the BOM Item's UOM Schedule.  This is editable while the BOM is in a status of Open.

The lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and a list of all 'Active' UOM's on the BOM Item's UOM Schedule. 

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMID, ERPx_IMBOM.ScalingUOMSK

Status

A single select lookup to identify the status of the BOM. This defaults to "Open" for new records, is required, and is always editable, even after the record has been 'Closed'.

Inventory Items Tab

The Inventory Items tab is where Inventory tracked items, that will be backflushed, are added to the BOM. This tab is always editable when the BOM Status = "Open" but is not editable when the BOM Status = "Closed".

This tab also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Items' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout. 'Items' attributes are not included in the help documentation.

If a complete Item ID was entered, the line item will be saved, if not, the Item Lookup dialog box will open with a list of items containing the data entered.

 This is an editable text box that defaults to the next available base-10 number. It is required and editable while the record is in 'Open' status. To re-sequence the line items, edit one or more lines with a new positive number that would put the line item where you want it sorted, and click the Save button. On save, the line items will be resorted, and the Ln. values will be re-set to base-10 values.

For example, if you had line items 10, 20, and 30 and you wanted the last one (Ln. 30) to be second, you could edit the value to any number between 10 and 20 (i.e. 15) and on save the lines would be sorted in the new sequence (10, 15, and 30) and then all Ln.'s would be re-set to base 10 numbers (10, 20, 30).
