The BOM Creator empowers users to craft multi-level BOMs conveniently within a single interface.

Why use the BOM Creator?

Users often wonder why a separate BOM Creator is necessary for generating BOMs. The rationale behind it is to streamline the process and reduce unnecessary back-and-forth. In the standard BOM screen, users typically have to create all sub-assembly BOMs separately before compiling the BOM for the final product. This sequential approach often results in significant back-and-forth actions. Moreover, visualizing the complete hierarchy can be challenging using the standard BOM interface.

To overcome these challenges, we’ve introduced the BOM Creator. Within this tool, users can effortlessly construct multi-level BOMs using the tree component.

Here’s how it operates:

1. Users begin by selecting the Final Product and saving the record.
2. Within the form, users have the option to add Raw Materials and Sub-assembly items associated with the Final Product.
3. If users wish to convert Raw Materials into Sub-assembly items, they can do so by selecting the item and clicking the “Convert to Sub-Assembly” button.
4. Users have the flexibility to edit the Quantity as required.

Final Step

Once the BOM structure has been created using the tree component, the user needs to submit the BOM Creator. Upon submission, the system will generate the BOMs using a background job.
