Entering BOMs in Project Structure

Complete item BOMs can be considered for the project structure plan.

If a production or assembly BOM is present, and depending on the setting in the Expand BOM autom. field on the Item Card, the BOM Selection request page opens for user input or the BOM will be automatically added and expanded in the project structure.

Note

The usage of Document BOMs are described in Integration of COSMO Discrete Manufacturing.

BOM Selection Page

The BOM Selection page opens with the relevant BOM Source Type, BOM No., Description, Location Code, and Unit of Measure Code. If the Production BOM has a variant and a stockkeeping unit, a Variant Code filter is available for selecting the proper variant.

In the Up to Level field, you can enter the level up to which the BOM will be expanded.

In the Options FastTab, you can choose if the Budget field should be set in the source line and whether the source item should be copied to the sub-level. The Relevant for Assembly only is used with Assembly BOMs.

To explode the BOM in the Project Budget Calculation line, choose the OK button. To create the Project Budget Calculation line without exploding the BOM, choose the Cancel button.

Production BOMs

When a Production BOM Item is inserted as a component on a project structure, the entire Production BOM and Routing assigned to the item can be exploded in the Project Budget Calculation page.

A BOM is included on an item. When expanded, the substructure (Production BOM and Routing) can be modified and then the modified Production BOM and Routing can be used in a Production Order created from the project.

The production BOM can be expanded further. Here it can be decided if the BOM will be modified for the project or if it should be purchased as a whole (item).

General Components

BOMs can also be added to the Project Budget Calculation from a General Component to which an item with an assembly BOM has been assigned.

When the general component is added to the Project Budget Calculation line, the BOM Selection request page opens, identifying it as an Assembly BOM.

The BOM behind the item can be exploded to the project line budget without creating an additional level.

Assembly BOMs

The process for adding Assembly BOM Items to the Project Budget Calculation is similar to Production BOM Items, except you can choose whether the complete components of the assembly BOM are added or only items in the assembly BOM that have Procurement Channel = Assembly Order, not the components of the items in the assembly BOM. To include all components, turn off the Relevant for Assembly only toggle in the Options FastTab of the BOM Selection request page.

Regardless of the Relevant for Assembly only setting, if you choose not to expand the assembly BOM, then the components from the assembly BOM are used in the Assembly Order created during procurement. An expanded assembly BOM will use the components from the Project Budget Calculation in the Assembly Order.

For more information, see Assembly Orders.

Expanding BOMs in Project Budget Calculation

Any Production BOM or Assembly BOM added to the Project Budget Calculation line without exploding it upon insertion can be exploded at any time by choosing Functions > Expand BOM on the Actions menu, which reopens the BOM Selection request page.
