About this task

An operation contains a list of BOM items necessary to perform the operation. As an operator, you can access the BOM section to specify the consumption of the BOM items for a product.

  2. Select BOM.
    The BOM section appears, displaying the BOM items associated with the selected operation.

    The number of the BOM tab indicates the total number of mandatory BOM items that are yet to be consumed to complete the operation on the serial/lot.

    In Unit Operations, the number of the BOM tab indicates the total number of mandatory BOM items that are yet to be consumed to complete the operation on the serial/lot. In Work Queue, the number on the BOM tab indicates the total number of mandatory BOM items that are yet to be consumed to complete the operation on all the serials/lots that you have clocked on for the operation. The following table provides information on each column in the table.
