Copy BOM Single Dialog Workspace

Use this workspace to create a BOM from an existing BOM.

The new BOM has the same parts as the existing one. When you copy a BOM, you specify the item number and item description for the new BOM, and you assign it to an item group.

Maconomy creates the item that forms the new BOM header during the BOM copying, whereas the BOM parts exist already.

When you copy a BOM in this workspace, much of the information from the original BOM header is carried over to the new one. Maconomy transfers information from the Units, Sales Order, Service, Print Control, and Statistics to Tax Authorities islands in the item information card, and additional information from the Inventory, Description, and Cost islands. Maconomy also retrieves price control and BOM itemization information from the BOM information card.

After you make the copy, you can change the information and the component parts of the new BOM in the Item Information Card and BOM Information Card workspaces. You must create inventory and price information on the new BOM.

To help you verify that you are copying the correct BOM, the sub-tab shows the existing item parts.
