Procedure

  1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose   Production   Bill of Materials  .

  2. In the Product No. field, press TAB to display a list of item master records, and choose the item that you want to define as a parent.

    Note Note

    If the parent already has a BOM, its components are displayed. However, you can still create a new BOM for that parent item.

    End of the note.
  3. Specify the BOM type, as described in Bill of Materials Types.

    Note Note

    Choose the Production type to be able to include the product in the MRP run and to process standard production orders.

    End of the note.
  4. Enter data for the finished product and its components. For details, see Bill of Materials Window.

    Note Note

    If the BOM contains more than one component with the same serial or batch items, combine the items in a single component and increase the quantity appropriately to prevent possible errors in the batch or serial quantities.

    End of the note.
  5. Choose Add to save the Bill of Materials, and OK to close the window.

Note Note

Sometimes production gives rise to waste, for example, manufacturing a table produces sawdust.

You can add the sawdust as an additional component (by-product), and enter a negative value in its Quantity field.

When you complete and confirm the production of the table, this component is put into inventory. The other components are removed from inventory when you complete and confirm production.

End of the note.
