Resequencing (BOM settings)

About resequencing

Each BOM A stock assembly and process costing system, which provides facilities to specify the structure of finished items in terms of sub-assemblies and components. holds details of components Raw materials used to manufacture finished goods. and operations The labour, machine and tool processes required to manufacture an item.. Sequence numbers determine the sequence in which BOMs are processed and displayed on reports. Sequence numbers are applied automatically to components or operations as you add them to a BOM.

The default pattern for the sequence numbers applied in the BOM record is set here in the BOM settings.

By default, sequence numbers are set in ascending numerical order, starting from 1.00, in steps of 1 (e.g. 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and so on). You can apply new sequence numbers to components or operations when required. Use the resequencing settings to specify new sequence numbers and defined steps for the sequence numbers. Incrementing by a number other than 1.00, e.g. 5.00 or 10.00, leaves a gap between sequence numbers. New components or operations fit into the sequence easily, since there are already gaps available in the numbering.

You can manually resequence the numbers for existing components and operations in a BOM record. To do this, open the BOM record, then select Resequence on the Components or Operations tab.

Set up defaults for resequencing

Open: Bill of Materials > Utilities > System Set Up > Bill of Materials Settings | Resequencing.

Note: You can set decimal precision for sequence numbers using the Sequencing tab in Manufacturing System Manager System Settings.
