Copy Bills of Material
Before
you start
-
Use the Items form to add the new master or component inventory items for which you are creating bills of material.
To copy bills of material to new master items:
-
Open Inventory Control > I/C Items and Price Lists > Copy Bills of Material.
Click here for help on Copy Bills of Material fields.
-
Specify the source and destination master item numbers and BOM numbers by entering the From and To price list codes, and then click the Go button (
).
The destination item number must already exist. (See Add Inventory Items.)
-
Fill in the following information for the BOM that you are creating.
BOM Description. Enter a description to identify the bill of material you are creating. The description is important if you use several alternative BOMs to create the same master item.
Fixed Cost. Enter the setup cost for assembling the new bill of material. The cost from the original BOM appears by default.
Build Quantity. Enter the number of master items that one assembly of the bill of material produces. The build quantity from the original BOM appears by default.
Variable Cost. Enter the cost for one assembly of the bill of material. (In other words, one assembly produces the “build quantity” of master items.)
Unit of Measure. Enter the unit of measure or use the Finder to select the unit of measure that you want to assign to the master items you create when you assemble the bill of material. The UOM from the original BOM appears by default.
Start Date / End Date. This is the period of time during which the new master item can be assembled.
Comments. Enter comments that you want to save with the new BOM.
Copy Detail. By default, all component items from the old bill of material will be copied to the new BOM. If you do not want to copy a particular component, double-click the Copy column to change the entry to No.
If you want to add items, you must edit the new BOM using the Bill Of Materials form.
-
Click the Create button to copy the selected BOM.
