Production BOM (form)
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
Click Production control > Common > Production orders > All production orders. Select a production order, and then, on the Action Pane, click BOM.
Use this form to create and manage bills of materials (BOMs) for productions. A production BOM is a list of the materials that are required to produce an item in production.
Materials are described by using item numbers, consumption, and a range of other data that is used in production. When you create a production order for a selected item, a copy of the BOM for that item is automatically added to the production BOM from the base data. If the item does not have a BOM, and no number is assigned when the production order is created, the production BOM is still created, but it is blank.
You can change, insert, or delete lines without affecting related BOMs in the base data. You can also copy other BOMs into a production BOM. Changes can be made to production BOMs at any point in the production sequence, up through the Start status. However, after production is started, changes can no longer be made.
Note
If you make changes that affect cost estimation or job scheduling, you must run Estimation, Operations scheduling, or Job scheduling again before you continue.

Fields
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Item number |
Select the item that is consumed in the production. The item number must already be in the items table, and the Item type field can be set to Item or Service. If you enter the item number manually, the system verifies that the item number is in the items table. The same item number can be used in the production BOM several times. For more information, see Released product details (form). |
Site |
The site where the item is stored. |
Quantity |
Enter the number of units of the item that are used to produce one piece of the finished item. If there is a gain of the item, instead of a loss, enter a negative quantity. Example On the production order (P), the dimensions for the finished item are selected in the Measurement field group as follows:
In the production BOM (B), measurements are specified as follows: Formula = Height * Width * Constant
If Width is not selected in the BOM, the Width dimension is not proportional to the width that is specified in the production table. Even if you use Height * Width * Constant as your formula, if you enter 0.00 in the BOM, the expression Width * Width is set to 1. The calculation of this example is as follows: Quantity = Height (P) * Width (P) * Height (B) * Width (B) * Constant (B) = 1.00 * 0.50 * 1.00 * (blank = 1.00) * 2.00 = 1.00 |
Per series |
Enter the number of units that the value applies to. |
Unit |
Enter the unit in which consumption is expressed. The unit ID is retrieved from the BOM unit field in the items table. |
Item type |
The type of item that is selected in the Item number field. |
Product name |
The name of the item that is selected in the Item number field. |
Production |
The production number of the production that the BOM line belongs to. |
Position |
The position of the BOM line. This field can contain an alphanumeric string of up to 10 characters. |
Vendor account |
For lines that have a vendor account, define a vendor number that you want purchase orders to be created for. If you leave this field blank, the vendor is obtained from the resource for the attached operation. For more information, see Purchase order (form). |
Line type |
Select the type of BOM line. Each type of BOM line has a specific function. Select from the following options:
|
Reservation |
Specify when you want the system to reserve the item from on-hand inventory. For more information, see Inventory transactions (form). |
Calculation |
Select the check box to include the BOM line in the calculation of the estimated cost. |
Sub-BOM |
The BOM number of a specific sub-BOM. If the field is blank, the active number is used. |
Subroute |
The route number for the subroute. If the field is blank, the active number is used. |
Oper. No. |
Specify where this item is used in the production sequence. |
End |
Select the check box to schedule the consumption of the BOM line at the end of the specified operation. |
Resource consumption |
Select the check box to include consumption of the resource when consumption is calculated. |
Formula |
The formula that is used to calculate consumption. |
Consumption is |
The type of consumption. This field indicates whether the estimate concerns a variable, a constant amount, or a quantity. If variable consumption is used, the quantity of units that is used in the finished product is proportional to the quantity for the production order. The consumption is calculated as follows: Quantity (in the production order) = Quantity (in the BOM) Constant consumption is used when a fixed amount or quantity is defined for production items, such as startup costs. The consumption is calculated as follows: Consumption = Quantity (in the BOM) |
Flushing principle |
Select the method that is used to register item consumption against a production order. Select from the following options:
If you leave the field blank, the Flushing principle setting for the item is used. Note To enable automatic consumption, you use this field together with the Automatic BOM consumption field when you update the production order. |
Constant scrap |
Enter a value for constant scrap. Scrap is calculated in the unit, such as liters, that is specified on the BOM line. Scrap is used to calculate the adjusted consumption of raw materials on the BOM line. For more information, see BOM versions and lines (form). |
Variable scrap |
Enter a value for variable scrap, as a percentage. Scrap is used to adjust the calculated consumption of raw materials on the BOM line. For more information, see BOM versions and lines (form). |
Rounding-up |
Select how cost-estimated quantities are rounded to the multiple that is specified in the Multiples field. Use rounding if the raw materials are always used in fixed quantities. Select from the following options:
|
Multiples |
The rounding multiple. You can use this field to round the consumption, quantity, or measurement. You can change the value in this field until the production is assigned a status of Reported as finished. |
Height |
The calculation factor for height. This factor is used to calculate the consumption of raw materials when consumption is proportional to the measurements that are defined in the production order. You can change the value in this field until the production order is assigned a status of Reported as finished. After a change, you must re-estimate the production order to incorporate the changes. |
Width |
The calculation factor for width. This factor is used to calculate the consumption of raw materials when consumption is proportional to the measurements that are defined in the production order. You can change the value in this field until the production order is assigned a status of Reported as finished. |
Depth |
The calculation factor for depth. This factor is used to calculate the consumption of raw materials when consumption is proportional to the measurements that are defined in the production order. You can change the value in this field until the production order is assigned a status of Reported as finished. |
Density |
The calculation factor for density. This factor is used to calculate the consumption of raw materials when consumption is proportional to the measurements that are defined in the production order. You can change the value in this field until the production order is assigned a status of Reported as finished. |
Constant |
The calculation factor for constant. This factor is used to calculate the consumption of raw materials when consumption is proportional to the measurements that are defined in the production order. You can change the value in his field until the production order is assigned a status of Reported as finished. |
Estimated |
The estimated quantity or volume of the item that is used in the production. In the Consumption is field, indicate whether the consumption is variable or constant. The calculations are as follows:
When you calculate consumption, you also include variable or constant removal scrap. Similarly, any scrap percentage that is specified for the production route is calculated in the consumption. |
Remaining quantity |
Of the quantity that was posted by the picking list, the quantity that is still not end-updated, or costing updated. |
Started |
The quantity of items, in the BOM unit, that was released to production. For more information, see the description of the BOM unit field. The BOM unit can be converted to an inventory unit. |
Released quantity |
The consumption, in the BOM unit, that was released to production, but that has not yet been included in the cost accounting. |
Estimated |
The cost-estimated quantity or amount of the item, in the inventory unit, that you want to include in the production. For more information, see Released product details (form). The consumption is calculated when estimation is run. In the case of variable consumption, the following formula is used to calculate the consumption: Quantity (in the production order) * Quantity (in the BOM). The Consumption is field determines whether the consumption is variable or constant. When the production has a status, 0.00 is displayed in the Quantity field. |
Started |
The quantity that was released to production. The quantity is expressed in the inventory unit. The inventory unit can be converted to a BOM unit. |
Remaining quantity |
The consumption that must be released to production. The consumption is expressed in the inventory unit that is used for the estimated quantity. For more information, see Released product details (form). |
Reference type |
The relation to objects in other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX. Together with the Reference number and Reference lot fields, this field contains the complete reference to the object that the production line refers to. For example, the production line can refer to a sales order, project, production, or purchase order. Example The reference to a purchase line is structured as follows:
If the line in the production BOM generates a purchase, you can view the reference to that purchase directly from the reference that is generated. If this field is blank, there are no relations to objects in other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX. You cannot change the value in this field. |
Reference number |
The references to sales orders, purchase orders, productions, or production lines. This field depends on the Reference type field. Together with the Reference type and Reference lot fields, this field contains the complete reference to the object that the production line refers to. Example The reference to a purchase line is structured as follows:
If the line in the production BOM generates a purchase, you can view the reference to that purchase directly from the reference that is generated. If this field is blank, there are no relations to objects in other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX. You cannot change the value in this field. |
Reference lot |
The lot number that is referred to. Together with the Reference type and Reference number fields, this field contains the complete reference to the object that the production line refers to. Example The reference to a purchase line is structured as follows:
If the line in the production BOM generates a purchase, you can view the reference to that purchase directly from the reference that is generated. If this field is blank, there are no relations to objects in other modules in Microsoft Dynamics AX. You cannot change the value in this field. |
Raw material date |
The scheduled date for material consumption. |
Raw material time |
The scheduled time for material consumption. |
Remain status |
