Adding BOM Section and Item |
Scroll |
BOM items are placed in sections. A BOM cannot contain empty sections (without items) or items placed outside BOM sections.
If a BOM is empty, you can start working either by creating a section or by creating an item. While creating a section, the first item is created in it automatically. Creating an item in an empty BOM automatically launches creation of a section.
Later you can fill the BOM by creating new sections in it and adding items to them.
You can create sections in any order, as the sequence of their position is determined by configuration of the BOM style. The newly created section is not located at the end of the BOM, but in the place intended for it.
A BOM item is added to the section where the cursor was located at the time of creating that item.
1.Run the Add Section command 
.
The dialog for selecting a section and the type of the first item in it will appear.
2.Specify the required section in the dialog.
3.Select the type (base or auxiliary) of the item which will be created in the section. To do this, set the Object Type toggle switch to the required position.
4.Click Apply.
The dialog will close. The section will be created, the BOM form will contain its header (it will be underlined and, in accordance with the standard, framed with empty rows at the top and bottom).
A BOM item of the selected type will be automatically added to the section. The system will switch to the edit process for that item.
The following commands are used for adding BOM items:
Add Base Item — creation of a base BOM item,
Add auxiliary object — creation of an auxiliary BOM item.

The command for adding a base item can also be run with the <Insert> key. |
Step-by-step instructions
1.Start creating a BOM object. To do this:
•In an empty BOM: call the command to add an object.
A dialog box will appear on the screen asking you to select a section for the object. After you specify the section and close the dialog box, the selected section is created in the BOM, and a new BOM object is created within it; the system then proceeds to the object editing process.
•In a BOM containing sections: place the cursor anywhere within the section where you want to add an object, and execute the command to add the object.
After executing the command, a new object is created in the current section. The system then enters the editing mode for that object.
2.Fill the text part of the item, specify the item parameters and finish editing.

Specifics of adding a BOM item
When creating a base BOM item in some sections (for example, Standard parts, Materials), you can select a template for filling its text part. If a template is not selected, enter the text part using the keyboard. It will be automatically broken down into fields.
