Entering a Bill of Material

This section provides an overview of bill of material entry and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Bill of Material Revisions (P3002).

  • Enter a bill of material.

  • Enter substitute items.

  • Set processing options for Component Locator Revisions (R3015).

  • Enter component locators.

  • Review the changes in the Bill of Material Change History application (P3011). This review option is enabled if Log Bill of Material is activated in manufacturing constants (P3009).

    Note: If you are using batch bills of material, define a bill of material for batch bills, define routing instructions that correspond to the batch sizes, and set the processing options for the Enter/Change Bill (P3002) and Work With Routing Master (P3003) programs to activate the Batch Quantity field.
