Locating Bills of Material

Access the Visual Bill of Material form.

To locate a bill of material, complete the fields in the left panel, and then click Refresh:

1. Enter the item number of a bill of material in the Item Number field.

   This field is required.

   You can enter a valid item number that is not for the parent item in a bill of material, but the program does not display a hierarchy unless the item number entered has child components.

2. Enter the branch or plant number where the item resides in the Branch Plant field.

   This field is required.

3. Select the type of BOM that you want to locate from the Type of Bill list.

   The Type of Bill field lists the values in UDC 40/TB. You can specify a value in the Default Bill of Material Type processing option to provide a default value. You can change the value as needed.

4. Requested Quantity

   The system completes this field with the default value from the item master record, and displays the quantity in the Quantity Per field on the cards. If you change the value in the Requested Quantify field, the program updates the values in the Quantity Per fields in the cards. Changes that you make in this field are not saved to the item record.

5. Enter the date for which you want to view the bill of material in the As of Date field.

   The items associated with a BOM can change. For example, you might begin using parts from a different manufacturer beginning on a specific date. Use this field to locate the BOM as it existed on a specific date. If you do not enter a date, the system uses the current date.
