Use these settings to choose how to process and manage additional features from Cim200.
Cim200 gives you the ability to define multiple lists of components that could be used to manufacture an item. These component lists are defined on the Components List tab.
Without Multiple Components Lists enabled, the component details are setup in the Components tab of the Bill of Materials screen.
Where the components used for manufactured items can vary depending on conditions at the time, enabling Multiple Components Lists allows for more than one set of components to be setup for a Bill of Materials. Then the appropriate list of components can be selected for each Works Order.
If Multiple Components Lists is enabled, the Components tab is replaced with a Components List tab, and components are setup within each individual component list.
Adding a Component List
Open: Bill of Materials > Records > New Bill of Materials | Components Lists
Open: Bill of Materials > Records > Amend Bill of Materials | Components Lists
Open: Bill of Materials > Records > Amend Bill of Materials (Elevated Privileges) | Components Lists
Open: Bill of Materials > Records > View Bill of Materials | Components Lists
Note: The View Bill of Materials option allows you to view the BOMs but not amend them.
Click Add to add a new Components List. The Maintain Components List window appears.
Editing a Components List
To change components list details, select the components list and click Edit (or you can double-click on the component list line).
Copying a Components List
To create a new components list using the components list from an existing list, select the components list and click Copy. The Maintain Components List window appears allowing you to add or edit the copied list of components.
Deleting a Components List
To delete a components list, select it from the list then click Remove. You cannot remove the default components list; another components list must first be set as the Preferred.
Change Preferred Components List
To switch the Preferred setting from one components list to another, select the components list and click Set As Preferred.
Maintain Components List
Enter a Reference and Description for the Components List. If this will be the preferred components list, tick Is Preferred.
Each Bill of Materials can only have one preferred components list; if this is not the first components list entered for the Bill of Materials then making it preferred will move the Is Preferred setting from an existing components list. If it is the first components list for the Bill of Materials then it will be made the preferred list automatically.
Note: The preferred components list will provide the default list of components when raising new Works Orders, but an alternative list can be selected during order entry.
For BOM Costing, Trial Kitting, and MRP Recommendations the default components list will be used.
Works Orders created from Sales Orders or MRP will be set to use the default components list, but can be amended to a different list after creation.

Components are re-sequenced based on the default BOM resequencing settings.
Note: If the default is to resequence in stock code order and the list contains a combination of component, document and comment lines, the comments are grouped at the top of the list, followed by documents, followed by component lines in stock code order.
To Save the Components List, press Save.
The Components List is added to the Components Lists list, displaying reference, description and indicates the preferred route. Underneath the Components List list, you can see the components specified in the selected Components List.
