View Layout for Bill of Material

In the standard system, we provide a General view that displays basic information about the bill of material (BOM). We also provide the following further views, which display related objects for the bill of material:

• Structure

  This view lists all items in a bill of material.

• Linked documents

  This displays all documents that have been assigned to the header of the BOM.

• Used/Reserved Change Numbers

  This displays the change numbers with which the BOM has been created, changed, or deleted. Change numbers that have not yet been used, but that are reserved for future maintenance of the BOM are also displayed.

• Manufacturer Parts

  This displays the manufacturer parts that are assigned to materials of the corresponding BOM items.

• Access Control Contexts

  This displays the contexts in which the BOM belongs. You can also see whether the context is an owning context or a compound context.

• Transferable BOM Objects

  This displays the BOM objects that can be transferred to other contexts (see Setting of Transfer Options).

• Linked Synchronization BOM to BOM

  This displays the synchronization units used to perform a BOM to BOM synchronization for the BOM as the central object.

• Linked Synchronization PSM to BOM

  This displays the synchronization units used to perform a PSM to BOM synchronization for the BOM as the central object.

• Assignment for Synchronization Recipe to BOM

  This displays the following:

  • The assignment of the synchronization unit to the recipe version that was scheduled for synchronization or was already synchronized.

  • The change number of the production bill of material

  • The status of the assignment

  • The recipe that was synchronized or planned for synchronization

  • The production bill of material
