Project BOM Lines
Project BOM Lines is part of the Project module and is used to work with bills
of materials. A project bill of material is read-only if it is locked on the
module Project BOM Articles or if it is used on another project. BOMs
can be edited as long as they are used on one project only, to ensure that one
project does not alter bills of materials on other projects. The Locked
is set when an action has been performed on the BOM, such as a reservation or a
purchase.
The BOM lines can be sorted by using the Up
and Down buttons.
Actions: shows
shortcuts and functions in Project BOM Lines.
Add Article button:
Inserts a new article as a new BOM line, based on a search in Article
Templates, Stock, Articles and Project Articles. When selecting a new article,
static properties are automatically filled in and dynamic properties must be
entered. To ease the search, articles can be filtered on their static
properties, as shown below. As property values are selected, the list is
narrowed to only articles matching all property values. When an article is
selected in the bottom list and OK is clicked, the article is inserted as a new
BOM line.
Add BOM button:
Inserts another BOM as a new line, making the added BOM a sub-BOM to the
current BOM. As with inserting articles, BOMs can be located by filtering
property values. When the desired BOM is located, clicking OK will insert the
BOM as a new BOM line.
Sub BOM Lines button: Can be used when a sub-BOM is selected and will open a new
BOM lines window with the BOM lines of the sub-BOM.
