New BOM Types and Components Visibility in Basket

BOM Types

In addition to the Production bill of materials (BOM) in SAP Business One which has always been supported by Sana, we also support now Sales and Assembly bill of materials.

• The Production BOM is a finished product (parent item) made up of various inventory components (child components). This means that during the production process, the BOM components are turned into the finished product.
  
  
• The Sales BOM and the Assembly BOM are very similar and both represent a finished product assembled at the sales stage. This means that the finished product is composed of its component items only when the parent product is actually sold. The component items, but not the parent item, are stored and tracked individually in the warehouse.

Show or Hide BOM Components in the Shopping Cart

In SAP Business One we added an extra option that allows you to show or hide BOM components in the shopping cart. This means that when a customer adds a BOM item to the shopping cart, you can show only the parent item or the parent item with all its components.

The same with BOM prices. It’s possible to show the price only for the parent item or for components.

BOM components refer to the extensive list of raw materials or components that are required to produce an item. It is used in various situations, for example when designing, manufacturing, or repairing an item it is necessary to know from which materials or components the item consists.
