Manufacturing: Simplified Creation of a New BOM with the Edit Button

In MYOB Acumatica Manufacturing Edition, improvements have been made related to the Edit buttons that are next to the Default BOM ID and Planning BOM ID boxes on the Manufacturing tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) and Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) forms when both of these boxes are empty. These improvements give users the ability to create a new bill of material (BOM) by clicking the Edit button.

In MYOB Acumatica Manufacturing Edition 2024.1.1, the Bill of Material (AM208000) form always opens when a user clicks the Edit button next to the Default BOM ID or Planning BOM ID box on the Stock Items and Item Warehouse Details forms. When both of these boxes are empty and the user clicks the Edit button next to either box, the Bill of Material form opens for the creation of a new record. When the user clicks the Edit button next to either box and there are values in one box or both boxes, the Bill of Material form opens and displays the applicable BOM record.

Creation of a New BOM for a Stock Item

When a manufacturing engineer needs to create a new BOM after adding a part as a stock item to the Stock Items (IN202500) form, they can click the Edit button next to the Default BOM ID or Planning BOM ID box (see the following screenshot). The system opens the Bill of Material (AM208000) form so that the manufacturing engineer can create the new BOM.

Creation or Assignment of a Warehouse for the Item

When a manufacturing engineer needs to create or assign a specific warehouse for a BOM, they add the part as a stock item and then they can create a new record on the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form. When the manufacturing engineer creates the new item-warehouse record, they specify the necessary settings on the Manufacturing tab and then click the Edit button next to the Default BOM ID or Planning BOM ID box (see the following screenshot). The system opens the Bill of Material (AM208000) form so that the manufacturing engineer can create the new BOM.

Creation of a Planning BOM for an Existing Item

When a planning manager needs to create a planning BOM for an existing item that does not have a planning BOM assigned to it, they can click the Edit button next to the Default BOM ID or Planning BOM ID box on the Stock Items (IN202500) form. The system opens the Bill of Material (AM208000) form so that the planning manager can create the planning BOM.

Creation of a Planning BOM for an Existing Item for a Specific Warehouse

A planning manager may need to create a planning BOM for an existing item in a specific warehouse that does not have a planning BOM assigned to the warehouse. In this case, on the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form, they can click the Edit button next to the Default BOM ID or Planning BOM ID box. The system opens the Bill of Material (AM208000) form so that the planning manager can create the planning BOM.
