About Manufacturing BOM Management

Manufacturing BOM Management provides the ability to define, change and view plant-specific manufacturing bills of materials using engineering bills of materials, defined and released from Engineering BOM Management, as input.

Engineering BOM Management is a prerequisite of Manufacturing BOM Management. You should become familiar with Engineering BOM Management and the required shared component automatically installed with it.

Published examples in this document, including but not limited to scripts, programs, and related items, are intended to provide some assistance to customers by example. They are for demonstration purposes only. It does not imply an obligation to provide examples for every published platform, or for every potential permutation of platforms/products/versions/etc.

Business Roles

You can use roles to determine who can perform specified tasks in Manufacturing BOM Management. Any of these users can also be an Exchange User, which is the role assigned to people who use Collaboration and Approvals for access to workspaces, folders, and teams.

This table lists the default roles in Manufacturing BOM Management and the responsibilities of users assigned to them. Additional roles can be added.
