Use transfer control to define components as assembly items in BOM transfer.

The transfer control has two functions:

• You can define material components as assembly items using reference points as described below.
• You can allocate individual material components to other WBS elements than the WBS element that the network activity is assigned to. See Allocating Material Components to Other WBS Elements

1. Choose Operative structures ® Tools ® BOM transfer.
2. Choose Environment ® Transfer control
3. In the transfer control enter the project that you want to allocate an assembly item to.
4. Enter the material and reference point.
5. Save your data.

If you allocate the material defined as an assembly item to an activity using BOM transfer, the system automatically enters an negative quantity.

The reference point of the assembly items is passed on to all the lower-level BOM items.
