Bill of Materials (BOM) Item Plug-ins

The BOM Item Plug-ins let you return one bin or several bins, so you can pull materials from multiple bins to complete a work order. The BOM calls the following plug-ins:

• Component Item Bin Plug-in

  1. The plug-in reviews the work order work center to check whether an Issue From bin is assigned to it.

     If the work center has a bin assigned to it, the plug-in uses that bin.

  2. If an Issue From bin isn't assigned, the plug-in checks the assembly for a preferred bin. If the assembly has a bin assigned to it, the plug-in uses that bin.

  3. If the item doesn't have a preferred bin, the plug-in searches the location for bins containing the item. Then, the plug-in orders them from lowest quantity to highest quantity.

  4. If no bins are specified, or the item isn't in a bin, the plug-in pulls the item from the inventory, from the assigned location.

• Component Item Lot/Serial Plug-in

  1. This plug-in returns information about lot/serial numbers, for each bin identified, and orders them from the lowest quantity to the highest quantity.

  2. If no bins are specified, the plug-in searches for lot/serial numbers from the assigned location, from lowest quantity to highest quantity.
