New versions of production BOMs are used when, for example, an item is replaced by another item or when a customer requires a special version of a product. The version principle enables various versions of a production BOM to be managed. The structure of the production BOM version corresponds to the structure of the production BOM. The basic difference is in the time validity of the versions. The validity is defined by the starting date.
The starting date indicates the start of the period in which this version is valid. For all other considerations, the starting date is a filter criterion for calculations and evaluations. The BOM version is valid until the next version becomes valid for its starting date.
1. Use the search tool to enter "Production BOM" and select the related link.
2. Select the production BOM to be copied, and then choose the "Versions" action.
3. On the "Home" tab, in the "New" group, choose "New."
4. Complete all fields as necessary.
You can copy the line items from the previous version of the BOM by selecting "Actions" then "Copy BOM."
5. In the Version Code field, enter the unique identification of the version.
The newly created version is automatically assigned the status New.
6. When the BOM version is completed, set the "Status" field to "Certified."
Once the BOM version is Certified, any open Production Order will, when refreshed, have its content list correspond to whichever version of the BOM is current according to the date field in the BOM information.
