Construction Order
In COSMO Discrete Manufacturing, a company's engineering or construction department can use the construction order for managing the BOM prior to manufacturing. Therefore, the construction order is considered the work order for the construction department. The design engineer has the option of modifying the document BOM created by sales or creating a new BOM. In this case, they have access to the checklist.
General FastTab
The fields on this FastTab are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| No. | Unique identification of the construction order. |
| Document Type | Type of document from which the construction order was generated. Possible document types are Quote and Order. The Project and Project Line document types are used when a construction order is generated from the industry-specific solution COSMO Project Manufacturing. This option is available when both products are used in an integrated system. The other document types are not used in the construction order. |
| Document No. | Number of the initiating document. |
| Line No. | The number of the document line from which the construction order was generated. |
| Deleted Document Type / Deleted Document No. / Deleted Line No. | Identifies the type, number, and line number of a deleted document that was used to create the construction order. - If you delete a sales order line that has a construction order, you will be asked if you want to keep or archive/delete the construction order. If you choose to keep it, these fields will be populated with the type "Order", sales order number, and the number of the sales order line. - If you delete a service item worksheet line that has a construction inquiry, the construction inquiry will be decoupled and these fields will be populated with the type "Inquiry Service Line", service quote/order number, and the number of the service quote/order line. - If you delete a service item worksheet line that has a construction order, the construction order will be decoupled and these fields will be populated with the type "Service Line", service order number, and the number of the service order line.

Lines FastTab
The BOM in the Lines FastTab is always presented as a multi-level BOM. The fields and actions on the Lines FastTab are described in this section.
Fields
The fields on the Lines FastTab are described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Level | Specifies the level of the BOM structure to which the line is assigned. The field cannot be edited. |
| Position | Specifies the position number. This field is used to enter the drawing position numbers of an associated CAD or design drawing. |
| Status | The current status of the BOM line. This field controls if the current line is included in supply planning (see Configure to Order Setup, General FastTab) or if a production order can be generated. The options are: - Open: Lines with this status are neither included in supply planning nor can a production order be generated. - Released: Lines with this status are included in supply planning if this is defined in the Configure to Order Setup page, and a production order can be generated. - Closed: This status must be set manually. - Work Preparation: Lines with this status are neither included in supply planning nor can a production order be generated. |
| Type | Identifies the type of BOM line. The options are: - <Blank>: This option is used mainly to insert a comment in a manufacturing BOM line. - Account (G/L): Selection of a G/L account. - Item: This option enables an item from the item master to be entered as a BOM component. -- When an item has a master BOM itself, this is taken into consideration automatically and transferred to the construction BOM if the Part Type field is set to Production in the item master. When an item is entered manually, and if it has its own master BOM, this can be opened by choosing the Request BOM from Line action and then transferred to the construction BOM. -- If the Part Type field is set to Standard, the item is treated as in standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. -- If the Part Type field is set to Purchase and the status of a Construction Line changes to Released, a new Variant Code gets inserted to the Variant Code field in the BOM line. If the Information Line checkbox is selected for the BOM type in the document BOM configuration, then the components from items with the Part Type field <> Standard or Purchase are also copied into the Construction Line. - Resource: This option enables a resource to be selected. The use of resources in the master BOM is relevant if the capacity and value of indirect areas (for example, construction) are also to be considered in the BOM. - Work Center: Selection of a work center for a series of operations. - Machine Center: Selection of a machine center for a series of operations. - Master BOM: Selection of a Master BOM. The components of this Master BOM will not be transferred as its own assembly group but will be copied directly into the current BOM level. - Production BOM: Selection of a production BOM. The components of this production BOM will not be transferred in as its own assembly group but will be copied directly into the current BOM level. The BOM will be exploded when the production order is created. Additionally, this type is used with the integration of COSMO Process Manufacturing (see Integration of COSMO Process Manufacturing). |
| No. | Number of the relevant item, resource, work center, machine center, G/L account, or master BOM. |
| Description | Item description from the Item Card. The item description is copied into the master BOM and can be changed as needed. |
| Part Type | The part type of the item (does not apply for capacity items and resources). Defaults from the Item Card, Document BOM or Master BOM depending on how the Construction Order was created; can be changed as needed. If the Part Type = Standard on a parent item, and the Type, No., Exp. Quantity, Setup Time, Run Time fields are changed on a component line, or a component line is inserted or deleted, a message opens asking to change the Part Type to Production on the parent item(s). Additionally, the status of the component line cannot be released if the parent item is not released (for more information, see the Information Line field description). |
| Exp. Quantity | Expected quantity of the position. If the Quantity per field is filled and/or in the Formula field, an option other than <Blank> is selected, the Exp. Quantity is based on the higher-level item and the quantity of the line. Additionally, the calculated value is based on the Rounding Precision in the Item Card. Therefore, when the Master BOM is requested in the Document BOM or Construction Line, the rounding precision is considered and cannot be changed if it does not match the specified rounding. For example, if an item on the line has a Rounding Precision set to 1, then you cannot change the Exp. Quantity from 3 to 3.2 or 3.252 but you can change it to 4. For work centers and machine centers, this field is used for calculating the time requirement according to the following formula: Time requirement = Tr + Te/Lot size * Exp. quantity |
| Exp. Quantity Unit of Measure | Unit of measure of the quantity in the Exp. Quantity field. |
| Setup Time | Setup time for the series of operations (only relevant with the Type field set to Work Center or Machine Center). |

| Location Code | Defaults from the Main Location Code field on the Item Card. The setting can be changed as needed. |
| Unit Cost (CC) | Cost price of the BOM line. The cost price is either defaulted from the master data or calculated from the configuration. |
| Unit Amount (CC) | Cost amount of the BOM line. |
| Freeze Unit Cost (CC) | If selected, prevents the cost from being overwritten manually or when running the Update Unit Cost & Price function. For more information, see General Price Handling and Update Unit Costs and Prices. |
| Vendor No. | Setting from the Item Card that indicates the number of the vendor that should be used when purchasing from the Construction Order line. The vendor can be changed as needed, to indicate a different vendor from which the purchase quote/order or requisition line should be created. This vendor is used not only with the Purch. G/L Acc./Item function, but also in the planning process (Requisition Worksheet or Planning Worksheet). For more information, see Handling of Long Lead Time Items. |
| Shipment Date | The date on which the component must be available. This date is the same as the Shipment Date on the General FastTab but can be recalculated with the Schedule function. Generally, it is dependent on the start date of the series of operations (see the Starting Date field). The value proposed by the system can be changed manually. |
| Purchase Exists | Indicates whether there is a purchase quote/order or requisition line for a G/L account or component line (see Create Purchase Documents for G/L Accounts and Components and Components Planning Pool). |
| Purchase Status | Indicates whether a purchase quote/order or requisition line for a G/L account or component has been created or posted (see Create Purchase Documents for G/L Accounts and Components). |
| Starting Date | Calculated through the Schedule function. In the case of series of operations (Type field is set to Work Center, Machine Center, or Resource) the start date of the series of operations is entered here. The field can be changed manually. NOTE: For components of an assembly group that are linked to a routing line via a Routing Link Code, the Due Date is based on the Starting Date from the routing line. |
| Ending Date | Calculated through the Schedule function. In the case of series of operations (Type field is set to Work Center, Machine Center, or Resource), the end date of the series of operations is entered here. The field can be changed manually. |
| Due Date | Calculated through the Schedule function. In the case of items, the due date of the components is entered here. The field can be changed manually. |
| Concurrent Capacities | Specifies the number of machines or persons that are working concurrently. The default value is "1" for all line types. However, if a different number is specified in the Machine Center Card, that value is used instead. For Work Centers and Machine Centers, this value is transferred to the Routings of the Production Order. This field can be changed manually. |
| Long-Lead Item | Setting from the Item Card that identifies if the item needs a longer time to be delivered or produced. Choosing the value in this field opens the Items list, filtered on the item, regardless if the value is Yes or No. |
| Entry No. | System-generated number of the BOM line. This number cannot be changed. |
| Belongs to Entry No. | Specifies the higher-level BOM item to which the current line belongs. The field cannot be edited. |
| Level Line No. | Sequential numbering of all BOM lines of a level. The field cannot be edited. |
| Entry No. Representation | All lines are numbered sequentially by the system in order to present them in the correct order. The field cannot be edited. |

| Quantity per | Identifies a quantity per value; functions the same as in standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. |
| Quantity | Quantity that is needed by the component to manufacture a unit of a higher-level item. The application updates this field automatically based on the Quantity per field and – and if the Calculation Formula field was filled in – the values in the Length, Width, Weight and/or Depth fields. |
| Exp. Quantity (Base) | The quantity for the item in the line, expressed in base units. The application automatically completes this field. |
| Quantity (Base, Parent) | The quantity for the item from the higher-level position in the BOM structure, expressed in base units. The application automatically completes this field. |
| Spare Part | Defaults from the Item Card, Document BOM or Master BOM depending on how the Construction Order was created; can be changed as needed. |
| Wear Part | Defaults from the Item Card, Document BOM or Master BOM depending on how the Construction Order was created; can be changed as needed. |

| Information Line | Corresponds to the Part Type field on the Item Card (see Config. to Order FastTab). If the item has the Part Type of Production, it is not relevant for requirements itself, but is relevant for its sub-items. In this case, the Information Line checkbox is selected. A line marked as an information line cannot be manually released if it is within a standard assembly (Part Type = Standard) and the level above is not released. Example - Level 1 item has Part Type = Standard. - Level 2 item has Part Type = Standard and the Information Line checkbox = selected. If Level 1 item status = Open, Closed, or Work Preparation, then the Level 2 item status can be set only to Open, Closed, or Work Preparation. If Level 1 item status = Released, the Level 2 item status can be set to Released. |
| Sub BOM | Indicates whether the line has a substructure in the document BOM or construction order. Any master or manufacturing BOM that exists for the item is not displayed. |
| Assembly Date | The assembly date is an additional date field used for information purposes. No functionality depends on this field. |
