Bills Of Material (BOM) is a list of components required to manufacture its parent (assembly) item. Some times there are several ways to manufacture the same assembly item. Each variations in manufacturing methods calls for variation is BOM components and routing operations. Alternate BOMs helps to capture alternate bills of material for each variation.

Alternate BOM creation is similar to Primary BOM creation except and alternate is assigned. Alternate codes must be setup first before they can be used in alternate BOMs/Routings.

Navigation: BOM responsibility -> Bills -> Bills

• Enter the assembly Item number for which BOM is setup
• Select the BOM revision and effective date
• Select the ‘Alternative’ code for BOM
• Go to the ‘MAIN’ tab
• Enter the ‘Item Sequence’
• Enter the ‘Operation Sequence’ . Routing operations must be setup for this assembly prior to using operation sequence.
• Enter the ‘Component’ item
• Select the ‘Basis’ as Item or Lot. Lot basis means irrespective of WIP Job quantity same component quantity is needed. Item basis means it is the component quantity needed to manufacture ‘1’ quantity of assembly item.
• Enter the ‘Component quantity’
• Select the effective dates for the components
• Select the planning percentages and yield
• Check ‘Include in cost-rollup’ to include the component cost in assembly cost roll-up
• Under ‘Material Control’ tab select the ‘Supply Type’.
  • PUSH – Manually issued to WIP Job
  • OPERATION PULL – Automatically back flushed when operation is completed
  • ASSEMBLY PULL – Automatically back flushed when assembly is completed
  • PHANTOM – This will be ignored, only sub-components of phantom item is considered
• Navigate to next line to add more components.
• Click ‘Save’ to save the BOM just now created
