Parts List/ BOM

Overview

In addition to representing parts, documents, software components, etc. an Item can also represent a Bill of Material (BOM). The Parts List page of the item form will list all "child items" and levels of the BOM.

The system will inherently manage/display all "levels" of the BOM.

BOMs can be created:

• Interactively - From any search or open window you can Copy & Paste items into the BOM window.
• Import from a BOM file - Import from any BOM file format (ASCII, Excel, etc.).

Refer to the BOM Management section for more information on managing BOMs.

Parts List/BOM Page

The Parts List Page contains the following sections:

Section	Description
Toolbar	Quick access to common BOM/Parts List functions
Parts List/BOM Items	Current listing of child items of the BOM, displays full BOM hierarchy

For each child item that contains a BOM/Parts List an expansion button will appear on the left side of the list.

Clicking on the expansion button will display the BOM for that item.

Refer to the BOM Management section for more information on managing BOMs.
