The bill of materials (BOM) node is useful for adding individual BOM lines to a product model. If you want to add a complete BOM from the Microsoft Dynamics AX Bills of materialsform, you should use a Default nodeinstead.

1. In the Product Model Details form ( Product Builder> Product models> Product model), in the lower pane, right-click the Modeling treenode, point to New, and then select BOM node.

   A new node will appear at the bottom of the modeling tree. If you want to insert a node into a particular position in the tree, drag it from the node list displayed on the left.

2. In the BOM lineform, you will find the same fields as in a standard BOM line in the Bills of materialsform, plus two extra fields that control how values are assigned to each data field on the BOM line. Select one or the other:

   • Value– You can type a fixed value in the BOM line field. The fixed value can be a numeric value or some other type of data, depending on which field you are in.

   • Variable– You can type the name of one of the product model's variables in the BOM line field. During item configuration, this field is completed with the value of the selected variable.

3. Complete the rest of the fields in the BOM lineform. For their descriptions, see BOM (form).
