BOM Tab

The BOM tab is used for reporting consumption against the currently running job on the active entity. The consumption can be reported for a consumable Bill of Material item that is listed in the table. This consumption can also be recorded as scrap from this tab. You can set the default lot data to be used when reporting consumption from this tab.

If a BOM item has substitute items defined (substitutions for an item are done in the MES Supervisor Items window), the Item field for that BOM item will have a list of the substitute items that can be selected. Once a substitute item is selected and is displayed in the grid, consumption and lot data can be applied.

The following topics describe tasks related to the buttons that are specific to the BOM tab. For information about the other buttons, see Common Buttons.
