# BOM Setup

<span class="ts15">Inventory&gt; Configuration&gt; Bill of Materials Setup</span>

<span class="ts0">This is where you will setup the Bill of Materials Recipe based on your manufacturing items.</span>

<span class="ts0">In order to create a BOM item you need raw material stock type items, custom type items and or as well as Service type items.</span>

<span class="ts0">One would have created a BOM item and put all of its information in.</span>

<span class="ts0">Remember when creating a Bill of Materials item always remember these rules.</span>

<span class="ts0">Unit of Measure IN = Unit of Measure OUT</span>

<span class="ts0">Don’t mix up your units of measures, if you are working in Kg work all the way in KGs.</span>

<span class="ts0">Always work your recipe to the unit of ONE.</span>

<span class="ts0">Here is a simple example of a Bill of Materials.</span>

<span class="ts0">BOM item (Result Item or Finished Goods) will be a </span><span class="ts0">Pencil</span>

<span class="ts0">Box</span>

<span class="ts0">(In this example we are only going to use simple items so one can get the idea of a BOM recipe)</span>

<span class="ts0">In the BOM setup screen we first have to setup the BOM recipe.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3065).png)

<span class="ts0">Click on the insert button to insert a new BOM recipe. Fill in the information for your Bill of Materials and then click on Save.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3066).png)

<span class="ts0">After clicking on the save button go to insert to put in the raw material lines.</span>

<span class="ts0">After entering all the stock items for the recipe this is what the BOM will look like.</span>

<span class="ts0">We now have one recipe for a BOM</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3069).png)

<span class="ts0">Under the Extras tab, there are 2 functions</span>

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-clone-this-is-where-" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><colgroup><col style="width: 7.91307%;"></col><col style="width: 92.0622%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span class="ts0">Clone</span></td><td><span class="ts0">this is where one wants to create a new BOM using the current recipe, after you have created the item you can make changes to the raw materials.</span></td></tr><tr><td><span class="ts0">Verify</span></td><td><span class="ts0">this is where you want to check what stock you would need if you wanted to manufacture stock.</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3070).png)

<span class="ts0">To Clone, highlight the BOM you want to clone and click on the Clone button. Once the Code and Description has been entered click on OK.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3071).png)

<span class="ts0">There will be two Bills created.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(3072).png)

<span class="ts0">To verify if we can manufacture a BOM item, lets highlight the BOM and click on Verify button.</span>

<span class="ts0">Enter the quantity of Cakes one wants to manufacture and then click OK</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(2085).png)

<span class="ts0">Should there not be enough stock to manufacture this will be indicated by a red block or Invalid message.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(2086).png)

<span class="ts0">If all is correct then all lines will be green</span>

<span class="ts0">You can print out the BOM Verification report by clicking on the print button.</span>

<span class="ts0"> </span>![](https://hugeerp0.co.za/csp/webhelp/topics/images/image(2088).png)

<span class="ts0">To print out the BOM recipe and have a look at the costs of the Bill of Material. Search for the BOM, highlight it and click on the print tab and then print button at the bottom of the BOM setup screen.</span>
