Using Effective Date BOM Management

Use Effective Date BOM management to set the effective and obsolete dates for items on individual assembly records.

To set up Effective Date BOM Control on assembly records:

1. Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.

2. Click Edit next to the existing assembly item record.

   You can also click New to enter a new assembly record.

3. On the Purchasing/Inventory subtab in the Effective BOM Control field, select Effective Date.

4. Click the Components subtab.

5. Click an existing member item or add a new one.

6. In the Effective Date field, enter the date when an item can be included as a member for an assembly.

   • After the Effective Date, the item is included in the BOM.

   • Before the Effective date, the member is not included in the BOM.

   Note:

   A blank effective date indicates the item has always been included.

7. In the Obsolete Date field, enter the date when an item can be included as a member for an assembly.

   • After the Obsolete Date, the item is not included in the BOM.

   • Before the Obsolete Date, the member is included in the BOM.

   Note:

   A blank obsolete date indicates that the item will always be included.

8. Click Add or Done.

9. Repeat steps 3 to 8 to set effective or obsolete dates for additional members of this assembly

10. Click Save.

NetSuite can source this item record to determine the correct BOM based on the assembly production date.
