BM-I  Print Summarized BOM

Purpose of Program

Use this program to get a single level bill of material listing where each component, no matter how many times it is separately listed within a bill of material, is summarized into a single quantity.  The report can be limited to a single level or can include all levels of the product structure.

General Program Operation

To select bills of material to print, enter a range of parent item numbers or select item numbers from a lookup window by pressing the F2 key (or clicking on the Lookup button).  You can indicate whether you want the second line of description printed or not.

Next indicate whether the report is to be single level or multi-level.  If multi-level, all instances of each component through all levels of the product structure will be rolled into a single quantity.  You will not be able to print remarks, approved substitutes, approved vendors, and approved manufacturers on the multi-level version of this report.

You can further indicate whether you want specifications (from the parent's inventory master record), BOM remarks, or BOM notes to print.  If you selected the multi-level option, you will not be allowed to specify the printing of remarks.

If you are using the Features & Options module, you can optionally print the features, but not the actual options.  To get a printout of options, go to FO-B  Print Features and Options.

If you are running a single level report, you can specify whether approved substitute parts, approved vendors, or approved manufacturers are to print on the report.  Finally, you can indicate the number of decimals you prefer on the "quantity per", should you wish to shorten the standard eight decimal places (for printing purposes).
