Configuring Bill of Materials

Your Bill of Materials system is part of your manufacturing process – it has to be configured well for efficiency and to ensure that it meets your requirements and a large number of options are available for you to do this. Time and consideration spent on configuration will go a long way towards this.

This section describes the options available within the ‘Installation’ section of the program to configure Bill of Materials.When you select the Installation option a menu will be displayed that contains the installation and configuration options – only operators with the highest authority level (0) are allowed to process any of these options.

Lock Out All Systems

When making changes to the Bill of Materials system then hat application has to be locked out via the option ‘Lock Out All Systems’. Firstly, you are prompted to lock out all systems – it can sometimes be easier to lock all systems as you may have to change settings in other applications (Stock or Sales Order Processing for example) at the same time – if you respond ‘Yes’ then all applications are locked, if you respond ‘No’ then you can select to lock just the applications required.
