Field descriptions: Bill of materials

Defines how many of the finished item to make from its components.

The released item name.

The released item is defined as a stock item. It is the assembly or finished item name.

The bill of material (BOM) name.

The name identifies the BOM. It can be different from the Item name.

The routing name that defines the sequence of shop floor processes to build or maintain the item.

This can be different from the Item name.

The assembly status of the bill of material (BOM).

In development: The components that make up the finished item are being defined.

Available to use: The structure of the bill is complete and the coherence of the components is confirmed.

Suspended: The BOM is currently held or obsolete. Choose this status to keep a record of the BOM instead of deleting it. You might need to do this if the BOM has been superseded or become obsolete, or its production is temporarily outsourced, for example.

A BOM can only be assigned to work orders when its status is Available to use.

You can progress existing work orders for a Suspended BOM.

Line type is normal: The item name defined on the Item record or the edited component name that's specific to the bill of material.

Line type is text: The assembly or production instructions.

The sequence number of the component in the BOM (bill of material) or the order of the component in the bill. It identifies a component where multiple components with similar component codes are defined as variants, or an assembly or production instruction.

Line type is normal:

• The checkbox is clear if the quantity of the component needed to make the finished Item is calculated in proportion to the UOM link quantity for the defined component Unit of measure.
• The checkbox is selected if the quantity of the component needed to make the finished Item is a fixed value.
If this checkbox is selected, the component quantity for a work order is fixed at the UOM link quantity value, whatever the work order quantity is.

Line type is text: The checkbox is clear.

Line type is normal: The operation sequence number or the stage of production in the routing that consumes the component.

Line type is text: The field is blank.

Line type is normal: The percentage of the component expected to be lost during the production process. Losses can be due to, for example, evaporation, breakages, or simple production wastage. The work order component quantity is automatically increased to compensate for the loss percentage.

Line type is text: The field value is zero.

Line type is normal: The standard cost for the component line. This is the sum of the component standard cost multiplied by the component link quantity. The scrap factor percentage is included in the calculations.

The component standard costs are calculated for the item-site.

Line type is text: The field is blank.

Line type is normal: The component Stock unit.

The Stock unit is defined on the Item record. You cannot change the unit of measure for the BOM.

Line type is text: The field is blank.

Type is normal: Leave as the item name or enter the name that's commonly used for the component at your production site. The item name is defined on the Item record.

Type is text: The assembly or production instructions. There is no restriction on the number of characters you can add to this field.

The component sequence number in the bill of material (BOM) or the order of the component in the bill.

Type is normal:

• Leave the checkbox clear if the quantity of the component needed to make the finished Item needs to be calculated in proportion to the UOM link quantity for the defined component Unit of measure.
• Select the checkbox if the quantity of the component needed to make the finished Item is always a fixed quantity.
If you select this checkbox, the component quantity for a work order is fixed at the UOM link quantity value, whatever the work order quantity is.

Type is text: The checkbox is not available.

Use to enter a description of or comprehensive and informative instructions appropriate to the component and links to supporting documentation for building the finished item.

Type is normal: The component code.

Type is text: The field is not available.

Type is normal: The operation sequence number or the stage of production in the routing that consumes the component.

Type is text: The specific operation sequence number in the routing the assembly or production instructions applies to.

Line type is normal: The percentage of the component expected to be lost during the production process. Losses can be due to, for example, evaporation, breakages, or simple production wastage. The work order component quantity is automatically increased to compensate for the loss percentage.

Line type is text: The field is not available.

Select Normal or Text.

Set to Normal to add a stock item. The component can be a single item or raw material or a bill of material (BOM) as a new subassembly.

Set to Text to add assembly or production instructions.

Type is normal: The component Stock unit.

The Stock unit is defined on the Item record. You cannot change the unit of measure for the BOM.

Type is text: The field is not available.

The category that defines whether the bill of material and routing need to be added to the work order.

The default work order category is displayed but you can change it. The list of work order categories includes those delivered by Sage and work order categories created by your organisation that identify with your production processes. The following work order categories are delivered by Sage:

Assembly: Create an assembly order. Only add the list of components to the work order. Do not add production operations from the associated routing to the work order.

Normal: Create an assembly line order. Add the list of components and the default sequence of shop floor processes defined in the associated routing to the work order.

The finished item name.

The quantity of the finished item received from production.

The quantity is expressed in the Stock unit defined on the Item record.

The date after which the items in the lot should not be used.

The specific storage space in the warehouse or workshop for the full or the split quantity of the finished item.

Location management is only possible if activated for the production site.

The assigned Lot identification number or batch code.

Lot management is only possible if the Item is managed by lot on the Item record.

The quantity of the finished item to be stored in a specific storage location in the warehouse or workshop.

The quantity is expressed in the Stock unit defined on the released Item record.

The inspection and quality assurance rating of the full or the split quantity of the finished item in the specific Lot or storage Location.

Line type is normal: The item name defined on the Item record or the edited component name that's specific to the bill of material.

Line type is text: The assembly or production instructions.

The sequence number of the component in the BOM (bill of material) or the order of the component in the bill. It identifies a component where multiple components with similar component codes are defined as variants, or an assembly or production instruction.
