BOM Setup
Inventory>Configuration > Bill of Materials Setup
This is where you will setup the Bill of Materials Recipe based on your manufacturing items.
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.
One would have created a BOM item and put all of its information in.
Remember when creating a Bill of Materials item always remember these rules.
Unit of Measure IN = Unit of Measure OUT
Don’t mix up your units of measures, if you are working in Kg work all the way in KGs.
Always work your recipe to the unit of ONE.
Here is a simple example of a Bill of Materials.
BOM item (Result Item or Finished Goods) will be a Pencil
Box
(In this example we are only going to use simple items so one can get the idea of a BOM recipe)
In the BOM setup screen we first have to setup the BOM recipe.

Clone – 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.
Verify – this is where you want to check what stock you would need if you wanted to manufacture stock.
