Bill of Materials
- In order to create a production plan from the aggregated orders list, first, go to the aggregated order list.
- Select the items for which you want to create a Bill of Materials (BoM).
- You can filter on ordering outlet, PO number(s), Expected delivery date and ingredients or recipes only.
- You can select all items by clicking the checkbox in the header row.
- Click the "Generate BoM" button.
- A popup will appear that shows you the BoM. It works in a similar way as a regular BoM. When there is sufficient stock, the item will not be added.
- You can also select different packages if they are available.
- You can however click the "Recalculate without stock" button and the BoM will have all the needed quantities, without taking your current stock into account.
- To the right, you'll see the stockable recipes in the BoM. If you flick the green "+" symbol, you'll check how much of this recipe you'll need to prepare for this BoM.
- When everything is set, you can either
- Export Bom
- or generate Order Documents in the procurement module.
