Create a job BOM

A job BOM represents a logical grouping of the bill of material components that are associated with a particular job. A job BOM consists of produced items, consumed items, and by-products.

When you create a job from scratch, an entry is made for BOM position 0 for the produced item. Additional BOM information is not included even if there is a BOM defined for the item being produced. You can add BOM components and by products to the job BOM. There is no check required for the produced BOM items.
