Prerequisites

Before you begin defining and maintaining BOMs, you must:

1. Add items.

2. Decide how to maintain BOMs for assembly items (by effectivity date or by revision).

3. Decide whether to verify BOMs online, and define manufacturing BOM default settings, including component revision default settings.

4. (Optional) Maintain revisions.

5. If you have a standard rework process that involves adding components, determine whether you need to create rework BOMs.

6. Consider the differences between single-output BOMs and multiple-output BOMs.

7. (Optional) Assign associated primary BOMs when you define multiple outputs.

8. Specify the calculated BOM quantity per assembly (QPA) precision.

In addition, to access the Revision Documents page, the Assembly Documents page, and the Component Documents page, you need to have PeopleSoft Engineering installed along with its Documentum functionality. Select Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > Documentum to access the Documentum Component Options page, where you can specify the function buttons that are available on the document-enabled pages.

If you have enabled PeopleSoft Workflow, when a change is made to a BOM, the system uses the BOM Change workflow to notify the manufacturing engineer (or other defined role) that a change has been made to the BOM.
