Job BOM

A Bill of Material (BOM) contains the basic information and production details for the selected BOM version.

BOM Item

A BOM item represents any component or by-product of the production of the parent item. These components and by-products must be defined as items and assigned to an item to be a part of the BOM.

BOM Version

A BOM version specifies the components that are consumed to produce the parent item, any by-products of that production, and default values for several production settings. BOM item adds production-specific details for usage of the item in the current BOM version.

An item can contain multiple BOM versions, but only one version can be specified as the preferred version. The preferred BOM version is used automatically whenever a process is defined to produce the parent item.

Job BOM

A BOM contains the basic information and production details for the selected BOM version. 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 is 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.
