Adding BOM Components 
Prerequisites
You have saved the BOM header record and started adding the components by inserting new rows in the table on the Main tab page of BOM Maintenance.
See also: Creating BOMs.
Procedure
On the Main tab of the Component Details screen, enter the required data and make the required settings to provide specific information about the component:
Field
Description
Assembly Sequence
The assembly order of this component
Component
The component being added to the BOM
Version
The version of this component
NoteYou need to leave this field blank if it is a current version. Enter an asterisk (*) if you want to define all versions. You can also enter the specific version.
End of the note.Assembly Operation
The operation where operators or machines assemble this component into its parent assembly
Test Part
If selected, this component is a test part and needs to be removed at the defined disassembly operation.
NoteSelecting this checkbox enables the Disassembly Operation field.
Operators should remove all defined test parts for a material before completing the assembly process. Set the Test_Part option for the CheckConfig activity to true to verify that all test parts are removed.
End of the note.Disassembly Operation
The operation where operators or machines can remove the defined test part
Assembly QTY as Required
If selected, the quantity of the component is assembled with a quantity that is as required.
NoteSelecting this checkbox disables the Assembly QTY and Assembly Data Type fields.
End of the note.If deselected, the quantity of the component is assembled with a quantity defined in the Assembly QTY field.
Assemble QTY
The quantity of this component to be assembled in the BOM
Assembly Data Type
The data type that is collected by the operators in POD when this component is assembled into its parent assembly
Max Usage as Component
The maximum usage count for this component
Overrides the value specified for the component in Material Maintenance
Max NC for This BOM Component
The number of times an NC can be logged against this BOM component/reference designator for the SFC number.
NoteIf this value is exceeded, an operator cannot log an NC code against this BOM component/reference designator.
End of the note.Trackable Component
Material Default: Uses the setting of the Create Trackable field on the Build tab in Material Maintenance for this component.
True: Users can create trackable SFC numbers for this component in Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in the POD or in As-Built Configuration. Overrides this setting in Material Maintenance
False: Users cannot create trackable SFC numbers for this component in Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in the POD or in As-Built Configuration. Overrides this setting in Material Maintenance.
On the Alternates tab page, add one or more alternate components that can be substituted for the original BOM component by inserting new rows in the table:
Field
Description
Alternate Component
The component that can be used as an alternate for the original BOM component
Enabled
If selected, this component can be used as an alternate for the original BOM component.
Valid From
The start date when this alternate component can replace the original BOM component
Valid To
The end date when this alternate component can replace the original BOM component
NoteIf you want to use alternate components defined in BOM Maintenance, select the Enable BOM Alternate Use checkbox.
End of the note.On the Custom Data tab page, enter the required data.
On the Confirm Operations tab page, assign component operations for the components of the Kit material type:
Field
Description
Component/Version
The component and its version as defined in the kit BOM
Assembly QTY
The assembly quantity as defined in the kit BOM
Confirm Operation
The operation on the top-level assembly, where the kit component is confirmed
Save your entries.
