About Part Bill of Materials - Plant Preferences View

The Bill of Materials - Plant Preferences view is a tabulated statement of all parts to be included in an assembly. From Plant Preferences view, you can view and edit both engineering and manufacturing attributes for a specified plant for parts. All users can see the entire list of parts in the BOM, but only those who are members of the selected plant and have appropriate access can modify the BOM.

In view mode, the BOM page contains a filter toolbar to show specific items in the BOM, and options in the Reports menu to show different BOM formats.

By default the Bill of Materials page opens in view mode. In view mode, you can click Edit All in the page toolbar to perform in-cell editing of certain part attributes. The button name toggles to View All to permit you to return to view mode. For details on editing in the structure browser, see Structured Content in Edit Mode.

BOMs by default are unique based on Find Numbers, but they can also be configured for uniqueness based on Reference Designator IDs or other attributes. Your Manufacturing BOM Management Administrator has information on how BOMs are configured for your installation.
