Asset Bills of Material (Asset BOM)

You can identify and select the required items that make up an asset. A bill of material (BOM) is used to list all items and components that make up a particular asset, and is defined for each asset group. The items defined on an asset BOM are standard inventory components.

Note: Even if you are not using Project Manufacturing applications, Project Parameters are defined for your eAM enabled organization to successfully create Asset Groups. This is required because an Asset BOM is of type Model/Unit Effective and this BOM type is currently allowed if PJM organization parameters are set up for the eAM enabled organization to which the Asset Group has been assigned. To define Project Parameters, open the Project Parameters window using Project Manufacturing Super User responsibility and without entering any data in the window, save the record. If you plan to use Project Manufacturing.

To set up an Asset BOM:

1. Navigate to the Bills of Material window.

2. Select an Asset Group from the Item list of values.

3. Within the Main tab, the Item Sequence and an Operation Sequence values default.

4. Enter the inventory Component to make up the asset number.

5. Enter the Quantity of that component necessary for the asset.

6. Select the Serial Effectivity tab.

7. Select the Asset Number (Asset Numbers are always serialized) that the inventory items are associated with, in the From and To fields.

   Asset numbers associated with the current Asset Group are available.

   If the component is installed in all asset numbers within the asset group, enter 0 in the From field, and leave the To field blank.

8. Optionally select the Material Control tab, and enter a subinventory location or source locator for this asset BOM.

   If the Auto Request Material option is selected at the BOM level, material allocation will be initiated when the work order is released, and the source subinventory and source locator values you enter will override these values in the Inventory sourcing rules. If the Auto Request Material option is not selected, you can specify a source subinventory and source locator for your material when you perform a material request or a One-Step Material Issue transaction.

9. Save your work.
