Defining the bill of operations (BOO) of a style

A bill of operations (BOO) is a list of work hours for completing tasks that are required to develop a product. Defining the BOO for your style enables you to monitor individual man hours that go into a job. The BOO also details the cost that goes to labor expenses.

You can build the BOO for a style using these methods:

  • Define operations manually and assign them to the style.
  • Create operation lists and associate them with the style.
  • Copy BOO lines from other styles to reuse validated operation data without manual entry.

Verify that these tasks are met before defining the BOO of your style:
