Use this form to copy a bill of material (BOM) or a route from base data or production. This can be useful when creating several BOM items that consist of the same items or routes, but that have some minor differences. When you have copied the BOM or route, you can change an item or enter a new one on the individual lines. Copying allows you to avoid creating multiple BOMs or routes with almost identical characteristics.

Note Note

Configuration routes and configuration rules are also copied.

Description

Copy from base data or from production.

Select whether to copy from base data or from production.

Enter an item number, if any. Using the item number, you can trace the item's active BOM version and, consequently, its BOM number. You must indicate the item number if you are only copying configuration lines.

Specify a configuration, if any. You need to specify the configuration only when you are copying the configuration line.

The date that the active BOM version must be valid when you search for the active BOM versions by selecting an item number. This is also the date that the BOM lines being copied must be valid, so that they can be copied.

The date that the active route version must be valid when you search for the active route version by selecting an item number.

BOM number being copied from.

Route number being copied from.

Production number being copied from.

Copy to base data or to production.

Select whether to copy to base data or to production.

BOM number being copied to.

Production number being copied to.

Determines whether the BOM number is updated for the production.

Determines whether the route number is updated for the production.

Determines the setup.

You can copy three different types of BOM lines:

  • All - Copies all BOM lines.

  • Default - Copies only BOM lines where no configuration group is specified.

  • Configurations - Copies only BOM lines that specify a configuration group. The item number and configuration must also be specified.

Determines whether to replace or add. Lines are replaced in the same way that they are copied. For example, if you select standard, only standard is replaced.

Determines whether to copy to the bill of material. This field will be clear or selected, depending on where you activate copying.

Determines whether to copy the route. This field will be clear or selected, depending on where you activate copying.
