Understanding Bills of Material

Use the Bill of Material Revisions program (P3002) to enter a bill of material to specify how to assemble kit components to create the parent item. By entering a bill of material, you also provide the system with information such as:

• The feature items and options that are included with the kit.

• The feature items that are optional.

• The number of items that you need to assemble the kit.

To enter a bill of material, you must set up the inventory kit and enter each level in the kit separately.

If you are entering a bill of material for a kit that contains a feature, you must first enter the bill of material for all of the kit components except the feature. Then you enter the bill of material for the feature using the feature as the parent item. Next, you add the individual items that are part of the feature to the bill of material.

The system stores bill of material information in the Bill of Material Master table (F3002).
