Bill of Materials Revision Import
A Bill of Materials (BOM) revision enables you to update a BOM’s details throughout the product lifecycle. A BOM revision also provides an accessible revisions history.
For example, Bicycle Assembly Revision V2 updates the components used in building road bicycles saving the company money because it improves production and assembly methods.
The BOM Revision import record is available when the Advanced Bill of Materials feature is enabled on the Items & Inventory subtab at Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features.
In the user interface, you can access the bill of materials revision record at Lists > Supply Chain > Bills of Materials.
The member components needed for assembly items are identified in the Bill of Materials Revision but required components may change over time. These changing requirements can be documented in Bill of Materials Revision record. To learn more, see Creating BOM Revisions.
