Configuring BOM settings

  1. Select Setup > Settings.
  2. Click the BOM Details icon.
  3. Specify the number of decimal places to define BOM quantity.
  4. In the BOM Color Format section, select the way colors are displayed in BOM columns.

    This table shows the function of each option in the BOM Color Format section:

    Option Description
    Code Select to display the color code.
    Name Select to display the name of the color.
    Code and Name Select to display the code and the name of the color.
  5. Select With Pitch to display the color itself aside from the code or name.
  6. On BOM Details Update section, specify this information:
    Enable synchronization of actual style, material or trim record value to style BOM fields.
    Select this check box to reflect the changes to values in a style, material, or trim on style records that contain that style, material, or trim as its BOM line.
    Style
    Select style BOM fields that are synchronized on actual style fields when the library record is saved.
    Material
    Select style BOM fields that are synchronized on actual style fields when the library record is saved.
    Trim
    Select style BOM fields that are synchronized on actual style fields when the library record is saved.

    See Style BOM field mapping for BOM Details Update.

    Changes are only reflected from style, material, or trim to style BOM when the style, material, or trim record is saved.

    When you add or replace the main image of a style, material, or trim, the change is automatically saved and synchronized to the style BOM.

    Note: When you add a supplier to a style, material, or trim record, the record is automatically saved but not reflected in the style BOM where that style, material, or trim is contained. You must save that style, material, or trim record manually so that the change is reflected in the style BOM.
  7. Select the Auto-Sync Main Supplier check box.

    The feature is disabled by default. When enabled, the BOM Lines are automatically updated whenever a main supplier is assigned to a style, material, or trim library record, and the record is saved.

    The main supplier in the library record is also assigned to the corresponding BOM Line where that library record is used as a BOM component, ensuring consistency across records.

    Additionally, this feature works in conjunction with three other supplier-related fields in BOM Details Update settings:

    • Currency

    • Purchase Price

    • Quantity UoM

    These fields determine how BOM Lines are updated when supplier details change in the library record.

  8. In the Replace BOM Line section, select these options:
    Add Style/Material/Trim Free Field 3
    Select this option to show the Free Field 3 value of the component being searched to replace a BOM line.
    Do not update Placement
    Select this option to retain the original value specified on the replaced BOM line. The field name is also moved to the right section of the tooltip.

    This option is cleared by default, which indicates that if the BOM line is replaced, the values of the component used to replace the old one are inherited.

    See the information about BOM line replacement topics in Infor PLM for Fashion User Guide.

  9. In the BOM Geocode section, select these options:
    Enable Geocode

    Select this option to enable the BOM Geocode on the BOM Header section.

    Additionally, selecting this option enables these functions:

    • Show Geocode Fields

    • Request Validation

    • Filtering of Suppliers in Request

    Enable BOM Line Geocode

    Select this option to enable the BOM Geocode on the BOM Lines.

    Additionally, selecting this option enables these functions:

    • Filtering of Suppliers on BOM Lines

    • BOM Line Validations

    Note: BOM Lines setting is applicable only when the BOM Geocode Header setting is enabled.
  10. In the BOM Default Exchange Rate section, specify this information:
    Default Exchange Rate
    Select one of these default exchange rate types:
    • Actual: The current values of an exchange rate.
    • Simulated: The forward rates that are expected to take place in the future.
    • Budget: A rate that is set by an organization for one entire budget period.

    You still must specify the exchange rates in the application.

    The default value that you select is reflected in the Exchange Rate Type field of the style BOM.

  11. In the BOM Calculations section, you can configure calculations for Numeric Field 1 to Numeric Field 8.
    Note: Numeric Fields 1 to 8 are not displayed in default style BOM grid lines view. You must create a view, add these fields, and assign that view to your user roles.

    See Managing views.

    Ensure that the fields that you select are visible in your views. The BOM Calculation settings are applied on the active version or schema of the current user.

    Configure a specific Numeric Field:

    1. Click the Add New Row icon.
    2. Specify this information:
      BOM Columns
      Select a specific numeric field from the list.
      Type
      Select the field type from the list:
      • Input: The field contains a value that you can specify. You can use the value of this field in calculations that you can define.
      • Calculated: The field contains the result of a calculation. This field is read-only in the BOM line grid.
      Variable Name
      Specify a name for the variable. You can use alphanumeric characters for the name of the variable and must be unique. This variable is used for formulas.
      Formula
      Specify the formula using arithmetic expressions and defined variable names. Operators that you can use include +, -, *, /, and SUM.

      The SUM operator returns the total of a column. For example, SUM (NF1) returns the total of the values of column NF1.

      For example, to populate Numeric Field 3 with the result of dividing NF1 by the sum of all NF2 values, specify this formula: NF1/SUM(NF2).

      If the selected Type is Input, this field is disabled.

      The Formula Evaluation field indicates whether your formula is valid. A check mark is displayed for valid formulas and an exclamation point is displayed for invalid formulas.

      This field applies to columns that you define as Calculated.

      This table shows the outcome of the each action for all Style BOMs when you update calculations:

      Action Outcome
      Deletes formula line Amounts become zero
      Updates formula Amounts change based on new formula
      Updates Type: Calculated to Input Amounts become zero
      Updates Type: Input to Calculated Amounts change based on new formula
      Adds new formula Amounts added based on new formula
  12. In the Style Set section, select the Enable Creation of Unique Sets check box.
    This action restricts Styles to associate with multiple Style Sets and makes each Style Set a unique item.
  13. In the Main Material section, select the options to support different customer definitions for Main Material.

    Specify this information:

    Set Main Material by BOM Line
    Click this option to enable users to select the Main Material by BOM Line. This option only enables the same Material number to be set as Main.
    Set Multiple Materials as Main
    Click this option to enable users to select different Material numbers as Main Materials.
    The main material information section is updated to show multiple main material information. This includes the Main Material, Main Material Supplier, Product Material Status, Main Material Description, and Composition.
    Note: Only one of these settings is set to enabled. When both are disabled, the current main material setting takes effect.
  14. Click Save or press Alt+S.
