Setting Up BOM Control on Assembly Item Records
With the release of NetSuite 2023.1 Bills of Materials, where components are embedded to an Assembly Item, will no longer be supported. Only business critical issues will be fixed. To continue working with this functionality you should transition to the Advanced Bill of Materials feature, which is free of charge. After you enable this feature, NetSuite will automatically migrate all of your Bill of Materials to the new structure.
To use Bill of Materials (BOM) component member control, define effective and obsolete dates for assembly record member items. You can enter the effective and obsolete dates individually on assembly records. You can also create revision records that update many assembly records at one time. The following methods enable you to manage which items are used in assemblies based on production dates. Select one of the following methods:
-
Using Effective Date BOM Management – Control the BOM based on dates entered on the assembly record’s Components subtab.
-
Revision Control BOM Management – Control the BOM by selecting a version with preset dates that determine components.
