Operation

Template BOMC - Commercial BOM must be active.

Data import

Bills of materials (BOMs) consist of a header and links.
The main table to set up is the BOM (BOM header) table. The BOM table is linked to the BOD object.
To import BOMs you must set up two identifiers, one for the header table (table BOM) and one for the link table (table BOMD).
The main object is automatically detected with the main key which is the product/route coupling.

The existence of links is acknowledged according to the following criteria:

• Search with the sequence number and the component product reference. If the line exists it is modified, otherwise it is created.
• The BOM import processes the link deletion. A link is deleted if it is imported with a link quantity equal to zero (0).

Data export

All BOM codes are exported.
