Printing the Bills of Material Report

The I/C Bills Of Material report lists the component items and quantities required to build the master items in your Inventory Control system.

If you want to include the latest costing information, run Day End Processing before printing the report.

To print the Bills Of Material report:

  1. Open Inventory Control > I/C Setup Reports > Bills of Material.
  2. Specify the order in which to list bills of material records. More...
    • Item Number. List bills of material in order by master item numbers.
    • Category. Group all bills of material by the item categories specified for the report.
    • Item Segment. List all bills of material by item numbers that contain the specified segment, grouped by the specified range of segment codes.
    • Optional Field Entries. List bills of material by the contents of the selected optional field. These options appear only if you have added optional fields to the I/C Bills of Material screen using the I/C Optional Fields setup screen.
  3. Specify the range of item numbers, categories, segments, or optional field entries to include in the report.
  4. To include the unit cost and assembly cost for each of the component items and the total assembled cost (based on the average actual cost), select Include Costs for Each Item, and then specify a location in the Location field that appears.

    The report will list components of subassemblies immediately below the master component item.

    • If you are printing to a file, the Export window appears. Specify the file format (for example, PDF, DOC, or XLS). Also, specify a destination for the file:

      • Application. View the report in an application that can open files of the specified format (for example, if you specify PDF as the file format, the report opens in Adobe Acrobat). You can then save the file.
