Allocating and building BOMs

There are two ways you can approach building BOMs in Sage 200. You can:

• Allocate stock for the BOM first and build from the allocation later.

• Use the New Allocation option to reserve the stock items that you require to build the BOM. You can undo the allocation if you find you do not need to build the item.

  From New Allocation, by clicking OK and Confirm, you can confirm the locations from which stock is allocated, and if you are using traceability, you can select the batch and serial numbers allocated.

  Note: You can use the Trial Kitting enquiry before building to test the stock levels required to build. You can access the stock allocation process from Trial Kitting.

• Use View Allocation to view what has been allocated against a particular allocation.
• Use Undo Allocation to fully or partially undo an allocation as long as the allocation has not been fully built.
• Use Print Picking List to view or print the list that can be give to the warehouse staff so they can make up the BOM.
• Use Amend Picking List to change the stock locations and serial numbers allocated in a previous picking list.

• Use Confirm Build to build the product from the allocated stock.

  The finished stock is updated with accurate quantities for manufactured items.

• Build immediately without allocating first.
• Use the Record Built Items option if you do not need to reserve stock items and are prepared to build from the stock immediately.

In this case the stock requirements are transferred directly to the Stock Control module.
