Here you specify the Type of the BOM component you are about to create. You can choose between the following options:

Type

Function

Blank

If you leave this field empty, the line will be interpreted as text.

Item

The line will be interpreted as material consumption per unit with the No. field referring to an Item No.. The Item can have a BOM itself.
Posting of a line of this Type will add materials to the production cost.

Setup

The No. field refers to an Operation of the Type Setup. Setup is labor with a cost per Production Order independent of the order quantity. By posting it will be added to the production cost.

Operation

The No. field refers to an Operation of the Type Operation. An Operation has a cost per minute which will be added to the production cost by posting.

Sub-supplier Work

The No. field refers to an Operation of the Type Sub-supplier Work. Sub-supplier work has a cost per unit which will be added to the production cost by posting.

Matrix

This option is only used in connection with automatic creation of Assortments.

Important:
The sequence of the BOM Component Lines describes the routing of the production process. The flow goes from top to bottom and Operations can be set up to post material consumption of above lines automatically. Therefore it is very important that you place the BOM Component Lines in correct order.
