Creating a new BOM

To create a new BOM:
  1. Select Configuration > Bill of Material. The Bill of Material list view is displayed.
    Note:  The Import and Export selections are available in the Bill of Material list view. In addition to the functionality defined in the Infor WMS Introduction and Navigation User Guide, the import and export features within the Bill of Material list view have been expanded.
    • You can click Import to import Microsoft Excel data to either create new records or update existing records. Infor WMS validates the field values before either new records are inserted or existing records are updated. If a validation fails, the import log record indicates the error file.
    • When you click Export, both header and detail data are exported to a Microsoft Excel file. As in other existing areas within Infor WMS, the header and detail values are exported to separate tabs in the Excel file.
  2. Click New to access the Bill of Material detail view.
  3. Specify this information:
    Owner
    Owner of the Bill of Material. Required.
    Note: The owner must already be configured in the application.
    Component Item
    Item code of the component being kitted. Required.
    Note: The component item must already exist in the application, and it must be created on the Item screen.
    Item
    Master item code of the components being kitted. Required.
    Note: The item must already exist in the application.
    Sequence
    Order in which the component should be assembled. For example, if this item should be added third in the package, type 3.
    Quantity
    Number of components required in each kit.
    BOM Only
    Indicator that determines inventory reduction.
    • Selecting Yes from the drop-down list does not reduce the component’s balance on hand. This item is used for kitting only and is not considered a mainstream inventory item.
    • Selecting No from the drop-down list results in a normal inventory reduction. Reporting occurs on this item.
    Note:  Selecting drop-down option Yes prompts the application to treat this item as a kitting-only item. It is not considered an inventory item.
    Notes
    Additional information about the item.
