The Manufacturing Module can be used to construct products using
existing parts and components, building sales merchandise for stock
or to be immediately invoiced to a customer in the Manufacturing Receiving utility.
Refer to the Manufacturing Overview for the
process flow.
This Bill of Materials table is used to define the parts
required to build the new sales product with the associated
quantities and costs.
Each component part can be listed individually, or if a 'standard'
build is often used, the component parts can first be defined in a
BOM list using the Bill Of Material
Codes.
The resulting BOM Code can then be included in this Bill of
Materials table to include all its components in the new sales
product build.
An operator must be assigned a Security
Role that allows permission to the Operations - Bill of
Materials in order to access this table.
This role permission also controls the operator's ability to add
new BOM codes in Bill of Material Product
Codes and to assign the products used by those codes in each
Bill of Materials by Code table.
The prompts are:
Note: BOM Codes must be preceded by an asterisk (*) to distinguish them from component parts.
Note: For serialized sales parts, it is the average cost that is displayed, however when the specific serial number is selected it is always the cost defined for that unit this is used in Manufacturing Receiving for the manufacturing costs and postings, regardless of the Cost to Post for Sales of Sales flag in the Company Posting Parameters.
Use of SWL:
An SWL value can be used to include overhead, service work and even
labor costs in the cost of the manufacturing build.
To use an SWL cost component in the Bill of Materials, SWL
must be setup as a product number in Sales
Inventory with an average cost, but with the "Inventory" flag
unchecked.
This SWL part can then be used as a component to cover these
overhead costs in the manufacturing of the new product.
Product Build:
Use Manufacturing Receiving when the new
Sales part has been completed, to sell it or receive it into
inventory, and to relieve the parts used from stock.
ACTIONS:
Additional actions provided by buttons on
the Inventory Bill of Materials screen include:
Assign the Component Parts to be Included in a BOM:
Click the ASSIGN PRODS TO BOM CODE button to assign
the component parts to the BOM Code along with product quantities,
as outlined in Bill of Materials by
Code.
