For batch works orders, as you can amend the working BOMA stock assembly and process costing system, which provides facilities to specify the structure of finished items in terms of sub-assemblies and components., you can also update the amendments. You can write these amendments back to the Bill of Materials module. This can be either as an update to the original BOM, or as a completely new BOM.
Warning! If you use this option before you have completed the works order, all amendments to the working BOM may not be copied to the Bill of Materials module. For example, components that have been issued on the amended working BOM are copied, while components that have just been added or allocated are not. For this reason, we recommend you update BOMs and copy amendments to the Bill of Materials module when you have completed the works order (i.e. all components have been issued).
Note: If you are using BOM version control and the Version Number Increment is set to 0 (zero) in the BOM Settings General tab, you cannot use this option.
