Material component

Overview

The Material Component definition is similar to the Bill of Material (BOM) definition. Here, all the relevant materials that are needed to produce the SKU or WIP material are essentially listed/defined.

You only need to create Material Components on a material you are producing.

Creating a Material Component

Method 1: Through a Material Creation

Navigation: Settings > Material Definition > Materials

Select the relevant Material, make sure the Can Produce and Can Consume boxes are checked.

Scroll down to the Material Component tab, click Create.

You will be presented with a pop up. You will need to select the External ID, of the Material you wish to use as a Component, from the drop-down list. Next you'll need to set the Target quantity of the component used to create your produced material.

Once you've set those, click Save and close:

Method 2: Create a Material Component separately

Navigation: Settings > Material Definition > Material Components

Note: The Material intended to be used a component must be created first. See Creating a Material with Can Consume and Can Produced boxes checked, and take note of the Material's External ID.

Click Create

You can now use the Material Component element and the Repeat for each component toggle in Activity Templates.
