Each BOMA stock assembly and process costing system, which provides facilities to specify the structure of finished items in terms of sub-assemblies and components. holds details of componentsRaw materials used to manufacture finished goods. and operationsThe labour, machine and tool processes required to manufacture an item.. Sequence numbers determine the sequence in which BOMs are processed and displayed on reports. Sequence numbers are applied automatically to components or operations as you add them to a BOM.
The default pattern for the sequence numbers applied in the BOM record is set here in the BOM settings.
By default, sequence numbers are set in ascending numerical order, starting from 1.00, in steps of 1 (e.g. 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, and so on). You can apply new sequence numbers to components or operations when required. Use the resequencing settings to specify new sequence numbers and defined steps for the sequence numbers. Incrementing by a number other than 1.00, e.g. 5.00 or 10.00, leaves a gap between sequence numbers. New components or operations fit into the sequence easily, since there are already gaps available in the numbering.
You can resequence the component and operation numbers in the BOM record.
Open: Bill of Materials > Utilities > System Set Up > Bill of Materials Settings | Resequencing.
Enter the following settings for components:
Enter the number to start resequencing components from. You can start at any positive number. If you are unsure, set to resequence starting from 1. You can change this at any time.
Enter a number for the intervals between the components. You can enter any positive number. For example, if your Starting at number is 5 and you enter 3 for In intervals of, resequencing will give components in the sequence: 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 and so on.
If you are unsure, set to 1. You can change this at any time.
If you want to resequence the componentsRaw materials used to manufacture finished goods. of a BOMA stock assembly and process costing system, which provides facilities to specify the structure of finished items in terms of sub-assemblies and components. in stock code order, select this check box. This is useful if you make amendments to your list of components.
Enter the following settings for operations:
Enter the number to start resequencing operations from. You can start at any positive number. If you are unsure, set to resequence starting from 1. You can change this at any time.
Enter a positive number for the intervals between operations. You can enter any number. For example, if your Starting at number is 10 and you enter 5 for In intervals of, resequencing will give operations in the sequence: 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and so on.
If you are unsure, set to 1. You can change this at any time.
If you want to resequence the manufacturing operationsThe labour, machine and tool processes required to manufacture an item. in reference order, select this check box. This is useful if you make changes in the list of operations.
Note: You can set decimal precision for sequence numbers using the Sequencing tab in Manufacturing System Manager System Settings.
