The system displays this screen when all component lines are created. Use the Component Entry for Quote (SOE113) screen to change components, provided the BOM item allows editing. The Component Entry for Quote (SOE113) screen also displays if you choose to edit the components after the line item has been saved.
You can create Bill of Material (BOM) items in Quote Entry if:
Specify the quote header information and specify a component item that composes the BOM item. (Refer to Creating or changing quotes.)
At the Bill of Material (BOM) field that appears when you enter a BOM item, select from the following options: Y-Update and Change Components, A - Update Components automatically and initially skip change, or F- Update the finished item. The options Y-Update and Change Components and A - Update Components automatically and initially skip change, available if the Update in SO option for this BOM item is set to C (Update Components, Entry and Change of Components Allowed) or A - Update Components automatically and initially skip change) in the BOM Entry program. To simply update the finished item and not modify or update its components, select F- Update the finished item.
The Y-Update and Change Components option provides access to the Component Entry window, which displays the component items and descriptions and asks for the number of units needed to complete one finished item.
The Create/Review?? component lines one at a time option provides access to the BOM Component Entry window, which displays the components and asks for the number of units needed to complete one finished item.
