Link a BOM Item to an Operation

About this task

A bill of material (BOM) contains BOM formulations that define a list of items and the quantity of each BOM item needed to produce a product. You can link a BOM item to a single operation. You can link multiple BOM items to an operation.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that the route is linked to the BOM formulation that is associated with the BOM items that you want to link. To do so, in the Edit Route window of the route, select the appropriate value in the BOM Formulation box.
  • Create an operation in the route.

Procedure

  1. Access the route that is linked to the operation to which you want to link a BOM item.
    The Edit Route page appears, displaying a list of operations linked to the route.
  2. Select BOM.
    The BOM workspace appears, displaying a list of BOM items in the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION column. The SEQUENCE, PRODUCT CODE, QT PER, and UOM columns are populated with the sequence number of the BOM item, the product code, the quantity needed per operation, and the units of measure of the associated BOM formulation, respectively. You cannot modify these values.
  3. For each operation, select a value in each column as described in the following table.
    Note: You can link a BOM item to an operation only if ALL OPERATONS is selected in the Operations section.
    ColumnDescription
