BOM Reports
The Where-used report is where you can find out where a BOM has been used.
You can use BOM reports to provide printed data that is related to BOM structures to ascertain where the items are used and to view BOM calculation results.
Employees who create and modify BOMs use batch jobs and automated functions that prevent errors that can occur when manual changes are made to BOMs.
For example, employees can use a batch job to control mass updates when changing BOM components, and can run BOM validation checks to verify that no errors occur in the BOM structures.
The Where-used report can be filtered for BOM lines or versions:
BOM lines - The item number is displayed with the related BOMs that are listed. This option also includes other BOM line related information such as quantities, units, line types, and configuration groups.
Versions - The item number is displayed with the related item numbers (versions) and BOMs that are listed. This option also includes version-related information such as version validity dates and whether the version(s) is approved and active.
The Where-used report helps locate components and the related BOM information when a BOM component is defective and a change is required.
A costing version can contain content about item purchase price records. The primary purpose of allowing purchase price content is to define purchase price records for component items, which can then be used to calculate the costs of manufactured items.
To support this purpose, the user must define a BOM calculation group that contains a cost price model of the item purchase price, and assign the BOM calculation group to purchased items. Then, the user must apply a cost price model of BOM calculation group when performing BOM calculations with planned costs to calculate the sales price of manufactured items.
