Release Manufacturing Bills of Material

Use this screen to release manufacturing bills of materials (MBOMs) that have been set up in the Manage Manufacturing Bills of Material screen and to modify existing MBOMs.

This screen is essentially the same in appearance as the Manage Manufacturing Bills of Material screen. If you selected the Use Separate MBOM Release Function check box in the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen, you must use this screen to release existing unreleased MBOM assemblies and component line items. However, you can add (but not release) new component lines to unreleased MBOMs in the Manage Manufacturing Bills of Material screen. If you did not select the Use Separate MBOM Release Function check box, you can maintain and release an existing MBOM in both this screen and the Manage Manufacturing Bills of Material screen. You can also release multiple MBOMs in the Release Multiple Manufacturing Bills of Material screen.

Note: If you selected the Release Mfg BOM check box in the Configure Engineering Change Notice Settings screen in Costpoint Engineering Change Notices, you can release MBOMs only in the Maintain Engineering Change Notices screen. If you selected the Modify Released Mfg BOM check box, you will be able to make the majority of modifications to released MBOMs only in the Maintain Engineering Change Notices screen.

Upon entering this screen, you are prompted to select MBOMs you want to view and edit. Use the Manufacturing BOM dialog box to search Costpoint for specific MBOMs by assembly part, revision, description, or BOM exist flag. If you search for a specific MBOM, this field displays in form view. If you use a wildcard to search for multiply MBOMs, this screen displays in table view. You can switch between the form and table view by clicking or .
