Defining Assembly Items for BOM Transfer

Use

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 assign individual material components to other WBS elements than the WBS element that the network activity is assigned to. See Assigning Material Components to Other WBS Elements
