Product.CreateBOMs

Overview#

This operation is used to create one or more BOMs for a Product along with their respective BOM Items, that specify where each component will be assembled. Multiple BOMs can be created to support different revisions of the Product.

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

Preconditions#

• The Product exists in the system and it is not a Template.
• The State of the Product is Effective.

   • Quantity - by default the quantity will be the remaining quantity of the component.

     Note

     You can use the Set Remaining Quantity button to set the remaining quantity of the component in the BOM Item.

   • Units - if the Source Step has the property Set Units equal to true the Units of the BOM Item will be the same as the Primary Units of the Source Step.
