After the one-off BOM has been generated (see previous chapter), it can then be customized for this particular customer order. The BOM is listed on the List tab of the Bills of Manufacturing screen where the BOM Parent is the one-off item and its BOM Type is ‘One-Off’.
Customization Tips & Suggestions
Here are some tips and suggestions for one-off BOM customization:
•If you are creating BOM details from scratch, the first step is to use the Routing Generator to create the BOM routing. Go to the Routing tab and click the + Routing Generator button.
•Go to the Components tab and add components by clicking the + Stock Item or + Speed Entry option. Select phantom assembly components where applicable to represent a set of components with one phantom assembly component. Assign each component to the routing Sequence to which it is issued.
•You can also use the BOM Components import utility to import sets of components from a CAD program or website order. When you do so, use the Stock Items import first to create any new item records, then import the components into the BOM, assigning each to the routing Sequence to which it is issued.
•If you are using any stock items or descriptors as placeholder components for actual selections, click the – Swap Current Component option to swap a placeholder component with the actual component.
•If the routing originated from a model BOM and contains customization instructions, follow the instructions and perform the indicated modifications to the routing or component details. After doing so, delete any instructions that are not appropriate for printing on the job traveler.
•After the routing is finalized, you can click the Resequence Routing button if you wish to renumber routing sequence in increments of 10.
•After components are finalized, you can click the Renumber Components button if you wish to renumber components in increments of 10.
