Build (BOM settings)

Select this check box to allow changes to the components that make up the BOM when you are allocating stock.

Select Allow over/under allocations to increase or decrease the quantity of components to allocate for the BOM when you are allocating stock.

Note: This will allow you to add extra quantities of a component part. For example, you may use the option if you have a high failure rate for a component part.

Select Allow substitutions to allow the substitution of alternative components when you are allocating stock and don't have enough components to complete the BOM.

If you have a stock item on a product group that allows negative stock, you can select this check box to show the shortages for the components.

If you have a stock item on a product group that allows negative stock, you can select this check box to show the shortages for the sub-assemblies.

Select Ignore Free Stock to ensure the system always builds sub-assemblies.

Select Only use Free Stock to ensure the system never builds sub-assemblies.

Select Build when Required to build sub-assemblies only when required. This extends the component list to show sub-assembly components where there is a shortage of made up sub-assemblies.

Select whether to Continue, Stop Immediately or Stop after processing Bill of Material when you are trial kitting multiple BOMs and shortages are encountered.

Select this check box if you want the Maximum Build Quantity routine to use decimal places. If you only want to use whole numbers, leave the check box blank. In this case, the system always rounds down to the nearest whole number.

Select this option to create a posting for the total cost of any items in a BOM that use same nominal code. There is only one posting from Bill of Materials for each nominal code.

For example, if you have two of the same component in a BOM, the posting amounts would be:

Select this option to make a series of postings for each component allocated in a BOM. This posts an individual cost amount for each component to the Nominal Ledger.

For example, if you have two of the same component in a BOM, the posting amounts would be:

Select the nominal code to post rounding adjustments to.

If you're using decimal precision, some processes such as BOM build will be rounded up to 2 decimal places resulting in discrepancies between component costs and finished item costs.

These discrepancies are posted to the nominal account specified here.

Note: By default, this is blank. You will not be able to build a BOM without selecting a nominal code.

Select this option if you want to print a build report automatically when you build BOMs.

The report shows:

• The items built and their costs.
• The items used.
• The costs posted to the Nominal Ledger.
• The nominal accounts the costs have been posted to.

Select this option to use the Allocation Number for build postings. In this case, the allocation number is posted into the first reference for nominal and stock postings.

Leave the box clear to use the Build Number instead.

Select this option if you want to print a reverse build report automatically when you reverse builds.
