AscentERP’s BOM functionality gives users comprehensive management over the components and their respective quantities required to manufacture a single final product.
Managing BOMs
If an item is classified as a BOM in the Item Master, its BOM lines and relevant data can be accessed through the Item Master screen. Additionally, they can be accessed through the BOM screen.
Data Fields used for BOMs on Item Master:

Field Description |

When adding an item that is the final product of a BOM, this value must be set to BOM. |

Ascent supports two types of BOMs: non-phantom and phantom. A non-phantom BOM represents a final finished good that can be stocked and sold. Production work orders can be created for it, and items that are on the BOM for that item will be used and consumed in it’s production. On the other hand, a phantom BOM can be used for planning purposes and cannot be stocked. While a non-phantom BOM results in a single item that can be sold, a phantom BOM is typically used to represent a group of required components common to several similar non-phantom BOMs. Often times this is called a “kit”. Because a phantom BOM consists of specific components shared amongst non-phantom BOMs, they are often used to simplify the management of these non-phantom BOMs as well as allow for sales to order a “kit” and have the warehouse storeroom people pick the components of the kit for the purpose of shipping them out on a sales order. The item that is designated as a “BOM-phantom” will NOT be picked, since it only exists to support the kitted items below it in the BOM for picking purposes. |
BOM Line Details:
A table of fields related to BOM Lines is presented below.
|
Field Name |
Field Description |

Item Number |
The item number of the sub-component. |
|
Quantity |
The quantity of the sub-component required to produce one final item. |
|
Show on Form |
If this field is checked, then upon sales order entry time, this component will appear on the sales order entry screen as well as on the packslip, whereas components with Show on Form NOT checked will not appear. All components of a phantom BOM will appear on the picklist and invoice. |
