BOM Routing Options

Overview

You can set some rules for BOM Routing in BOM Routing Options > Options.

Operation Options

There are three settings:

• Default operation name prefix
• Default start number

When you add the Nth operation, its name will be [prefix][start number + increment*(N-1)] automatically.

Sequence Options

• Include All
• Ignore All

If it is set as Include All, Available BOMs with sub BOMs can be expanded.

If it is set as Ignore All, Available BOMs with sub BOMs can't be expanded.
