-
Multi level bom Report an error
“ERPNext supports multi-level BOM.”
-
Bom immutable after submit Report an error
“Note that once a BOM is submitted, it cannot be edited. You can only cancel the existing, duplicate it and submit another one.”
-
Bom prerequisites Report an error
“Before creating and using a BOM, it is advised that you create the following first: Item Operation Workstation Routing”
-
Scrap section Report an error
“Under the Scrap section, select the scrap Item that will be created when manufacturing and its quantity. The scrap Item can also have a Rate if it is a by-product and not waste.”
-
Scrap renamed v16 Report an error
“In ERPNext v16, the Scrap Items table has been replaced with Secondary Items.”
-
Process loss item Report an error
“If the scrap Item is the same as the Item to be manufactured, it is set as a Process Loss Item and its quantity is subtracted from the manufactured Item quantity.”
-
Include item in manufacturing Report an error
“In the Items table, you'll see an option 'Include Item in Manufacturing'. Raw Materials need to have this checkbox ticked.”
-
Consume components based on Report an error
““Consume Components” in ERPNext automates raw material consumption when a Work Order is completed, reducing the need for manual inventory updates.”
-
Backflush setting Report an error
“If you want to set default "Consumption Components Based On" instead of BOM wise, set the "Backflush Raw Materials Based On" in the Manufacturing Settings.”
-
Bom with operations Report an error
“To add Operations tick the 'With Operations' checkbox. Now, an Operations table can be seen. This option is useful for tracking the costing of various Operations performed to manufacture the Item.”
-
Routing templates Report an error
“Operations can be added easily by setting a template with the Routing master.”
-
Transfer material against Report an error
“Transfer Material Against needs to be set for a BOM With Operations. Materials can be transferred against a Work Order in bulk or individual Job Cards.”
-
Produce item at each operation Report an error
“When a product is made in stages and each stage makes an item that goes into stock, for example a cut sheet, then a painted sheet, then the finished box, tick Produce an Item at Each Operation under With Operations.”
-
Bom is active option Report an error
“Is Active: An Item could also be manufactured using an alternate set of materials/operations. In that case, uncheck this checkbox to disable this BOM and use another one.”
-
Bom is default option Report an error
“Is Default: This BOM will be selected by default in Work Orders etc. when the Item selected.”
-
Bom inspection required Report an error
“Inspection Required: This will make 'Quality Inspection' mandatory for raw materials and the finished goods. Select the Quality Inspection Template after ticking this checkbox.”
-
Bom alternative item Report an error
“Allow Alternative Item: Sometimes when manufacturing a finished good, specific materials may not be available. If you tick this, you can create and select an alternative item from the Item Alternative list.”
-
Bom same item multiple times Report an error
“Allow Same Item Multiple Times: In some manufacturing cases, the same item needs to be added twice.”
-
Bom phantom Report an error
“Is Phantom BOM: If this is checked, it means that this BOM does not produce any item. Instead, it is only a logical grouping of raw materials.”
-
Bom rate basis options Report an error
“Rate Of Materials Based On: The Rate of raw materials used can be calculated based on different parameters.”
-
Bom costing Report an error
“The Costing section in a BOM gives an approximate cost of manufacturing the Item. The costing is calculated from the Valuation Rate of the raw materials/sub-assemblies involved and the Operation costs.”
-
Bom cost auto update Report an error
“The BOM cost can also be set to be updated automatically via Manufacturing Settings, 'Update BOM Cost Automatically' option.”
-
Bom exploded materials Report an error
“This table lists down all the raw materials required to manufacture an Item. It also fetches raw materials for the sub-assemblies/phantom items along with the quantities.”
-
Bom do not explode Report an error
“If user wants to exclude the exploded items then they have to enable the checkbox "Do Not Explode" in the BOM Item table.”
-
Bom project link Report an error
“The BOM can be linked to a Project to track progress, Project costing, etc.”
-
Bom website display Report an error
“The BOM can also be shown in the Website for Open-source hardware products.”
-
Bom template Report an error
“With BOM template you can create BOMs for template items (against which you create variant items). These BOMs can be used as the default BOM while making Work Orders against the template Item's variants.”
-
Bom percentage quantities Report an error
“A Percentage (%) column appears in the Items table and Qty becomes read-only, each row's qty is derived as percentage / 100 × output qty, with UOM conversion applied when the component UOM differs from the BOM UOM.”
-
Bom balance item Report an error
“One row can be marked Is Balance Item: it automatically absorbs the percentage remaining after all other rows, so users don't have to hand-balance decimals. Only one balance item is allowed, and the other rows must leave it a positive remainder.”
-
Bom dashboard documents Report an error
“Once the BOM is submitted, the following document types can be created against the BOM from the Dashboard:”
-
