Create BOM

Create a new BOM. You can enter a BOM name, which is also used as a name for the version. If a BOM version already exists, you can copy the version's BOM to the new BOM.

BOM

The BOM identification number for the BOM version to be used. System-generated BOM numbers appear when BOM versions are created.

Name

The descriptive name of the BOM version, which you enter when you create BOM versions and can modify as needed.

Site

Enter the site for the BOM version. If you leave the field blank, then the BOM version is valid for all sites.

From date

The first date that the BOM version is valid. This field is used in the management of multiple BOM versions.

To date

The last date that the BOM version is valid.

From qty.

Enter the minimum quantity that is valid for this BOM version. When generating orders, Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically selects a BOM version, which is based on this information and other criteria that you define. If the field is cleared, this BOM version is valid for all quantities.

Active

Select this check box to activate the current BOM version.

Approved by

The person who approved the current BOM version. Click Approveto access the Approve versiondialog box.

Approved

Select this check box to approve the current BOM version. A BOM version must be approved before it is activated and used.

Item number

The unique, user-defined code that is assigned when items are created.

For more information, see the Item numberfield on the Item detailsform.

Configuration

Select an item configuration to enter an item with specific attributes.

Size

Enter the size of the item.

Color

Enter the color of the item.

Warehouse

The picking warehouse for material consumption.

Work center consumption

Select this check box to assign material consumption for the BOM line to the work center. The work center refers to a production unit, which defines a picking warehouse.

Assigning material consumption to the work center is useful when the BOM version does not refer to a particular site but is valid for all sites. In this situation, you must be able to define a different picking warehouse for each site.

If the field is not selected, then the picking warehouse is entered in the Warehousefield on the line.

If the field is not selected, and the Warehousefield on the line is also blank, the picking warehouse is taken from the item master data.

Quantity

The number of items included in one unit, or one series of the BOM item. If the quantity is calculated per series, indicate the basis of the series in the Per seriesfield.

Example

If a BOM item is generally referred to in 100-pound packages, and there are 10 pounds of component item A per 100-pound package, the quantity would be 10 per series 100. In production, it involves a gain of the current item; in consumption, it is a negative quantity.

Per series

Number of units for which the Quantityfield is valid.

Example

If quantity = 1, unit = liter, and per series = 100, one liter of the item is required to produce 100 finished BOM items.

For more information, see Quantity.

Unit

The unit in which the Quantityfield is given. The BOM unit is used as the default, which is retrieved from the BOM unitfield in the Itemsform. Otherwise, the field is left blank.

Configuration group

Select or edit the configuration group for the item. Configuration groups are created in the bill of material (BOM) setup.

For more information, see Configuration groups (form).

BOM

The BOM identification number for the selected BOM version.

Position

Assign positions to items to sort or rearrange item order on BOM lines. (Items can be of the Item or BOM type.)

Example

Use the position sorting criteria to retrieve a sequentially ordered list of items on the BOM line according to position.

For the example above:

Item 00C

Item 00A

Item 00B

Vendor account

The vendor account identification for items of line type Vendor. Clear this field to retrieve vendor account information from the work center group setup.

Line type

Select whether the line is the Item, Phantom, Production, or Vendortype. Depending on the selection, the line is handled differently.

Oper. No.

Define where in the route sequence you want the item to be used. If this field is clear, the item is picked for the first operation. Operation numbers can be selected from defined routes in the Routeform.

End

Select this check box to schedule the BOM line consumption at the end of the specified operation.

Calculation

Select this check box to use the BOM line in BOM calculations. BOM calculations determine the cost-price and sales prices for the BOM depending on profit settings. BOM calculations give the estimated BOM prices on all BOM levels. Therefore, the contribution of a single item or operation to the price of the BOM level can be determined. The contribution of all items and operations on a specific level can also be determined.

The calculations also provide an overview of summarized costs for cost groups. This provides the contribution of a cost group on a particular BOM level.

For more information, see BOM calculation (BOMCalcTable) Form.

Sub-BOM

For sub-BOM lines only, select an alternative BOM version to use when changing sub-BOM versions for a finished item. If clear, the active BOM version is used.

Subroute

For sub-BOM lines only, select the route number to use for the selected sub-BOM. If this field is clear, the active route is used.

Product model number

The product model identification.

From date

The date from which the BOM line is valid.

To date

The last date that the BOM line is valid.

Formula

The consumption calculation formula. The options are as follows:

• Standard- The consumption is not proportional with any dimension of the finished item, and the quantity entered is the number that is used for the finished item.

• Height * Constant

• Height * Width * Constant

• Height * Width * Depth * Constant

• (Height * Width * Depth / Density) * Constant

Raw material consumption in the current BOM line is proportional with one or more dimensions in the finished item. If there is proportionality, measurement-based management is useful as only one BOM, and one item must be created that applies for all measurements of the finished item.

An example of using measurements might be a board with customized measurements for each customer. The consumption of the raw material depends completely on the measurements used to cut the board, which is why the consumption can also be calculated automatically.

A configuration dimension can be redefined to determine other characteristics in relation to the finished item. For example, the height dimension can be defined instead to be the number of coats for painted articles, because the raw materials consumption, in that case, is also proportional with the number of times the article is to be painted.

A measurement is a formula for calculation that can be used for any purpose.

The fields in the Dimensionstab are conversion factors that are included in the measurement calculation along with the dimension of the finished item.

For example, if calculating the consumption of paint for a board measuring 2 x 2 feet, 4 square feet must be converted to a quantity of gallons of paint. This is done with the help of these conversion factors.

Consumption is

Select whether consumption is a variable or constant volume/quantity.

Flushing principle

Select the method of registering item consumption against a production order. The options are as follows:

• Start- Enable automatic consumption when you update a production order to the start phase. This is the default setting for a new item and an existing item that is updated.

• Finish- Enable automatic consumption when you update a production order to the report as finished phase.

• Manual- The program does not register consumption automatically. You must enter it manually on the picking list.

If you leave this field blank, the Flushing principlesetting on the item is used.

Note
To enable automatic consumption, use this field together with the Automatic BOM consumptionfield when you update the production order.

Constant scrap

Define a constant scrap value. Scrap is calculated in the unit specified in the BOM line. Scrap is used to calculate adjusted raw-material consumption in BOM lines.

Variable scrap

Define a variable scrap value. Variable scrap is indicated in percent, where 10% is written as 10.00. Scrap is used to calculate corrected raw-material usage in the BOM lines.

Rounding-up

Define the type of rounding-up to use. Rounding-up is used if the raw materials are consumed in specific quantities.

Options include the following:

• No- Rounding-up is not used.

• Quantity- Quantity must be a multiple of the given quantity. For example, when whole numbers are required, enter 1.00 in the Multiplesfield. Numbers are always rounded to quantities divisible by 1.00.

• MeasurementRounding-up according to measurements is used when a raw material comes in specific dimensions.

• ConsumptionWhen rounding-up according to consumption, the estimated consumption is rounded up so that it is divisible by the number of units the raw material comes in. This is used when consumption of a raw material can only be used in certain quantities, and the rest of the raw material is considered scrap.

  Example

  Steel rods frequently come in a fixed length. If, from a length of 5 feet, two 2-foot pieces are needed, there is always a fixed scrap value of 1 foot for every 5 feet of rod. In this case, Measurementis selected for rounding-up, and the multiple is set to 5. To round up:

Multiples

The multiple numbers in which the item is consumed. Used together with rounding-up. .

For more information, see the preceding Rounding-upfield description.

Height

The conversion factor for the height dimension. Used in the formula for BOM calculations to determine space requirements for items.

Width

The conversion factor for the width dimension. Used in the formula for BOM calculations to determine space requirements for items.

Depth

The conversion factor for the depth dimension. Used in the formula for BOM calculations to determine space requirements for items.

Density

The conversion factor for the density dimension. Used in the formula for BOM calculations to determine space requirements for items.

Constant

The conversion factor for the sales quantity. Used in the formula for BOM calculations to determine space requirements for items.
