Add Operation

Open: Bill of Materials > Utilities > Maintenance > Add Operation

The Add Operation screen allows users to add an existing operation to multiple records across Cim200, including Bills of Materials, Works Orders, and Configured Quotations. This feature streamlines the process of introducing new or updated operations across the system without needing to manually edit each record.

Operation to Add

Reference – Select the operation to be added using the drop-down list.

Description – Displays the description of the selected operation.

Subcontract – This indicates if the selected operation is marked as a subcontract operation or not.

Note: Once an operation is selected, the View Operation button becomes active, allowing you to review the operation details before proceeding.

Options

Use the checkboxes provided to control where the operation should be applied:

Add to Bill of Materials
Indicates you want to add the selected operation to Bills of Material.

  • Exclude from adding to bill of materials on-hold – Excludes any BOMs currently on hold.
  • Exclude from adding if operation already exists on bill of materials – Prevents duplicate entries.
  • Add to all preferred routes – Available when multiple routes are enabled. Adds the operation to all preferred BOM routes.

Add to Works Orders
Indicates you want to add the selected operation to Live Works Orders.

  • Exclude from adding if operation already exists on works order – Prevents duplication on existing works orders.

Add to Configured Quotations
Indicates you want to add the selected operation to live quotations that are not completed or cancelled.

  • Exclude from adding if operation already exists on configured quotation – Prevents duplicate entries.

Processing

When the user confirms their selection, Cim200 loads a screen for each chosen object type (Bill of Materials, Works Orders, and/or Quotations).

Each screen gives you the option to add multiple records using standard Sage 200 filtering options.

After confirming the selections:

  • The chosen operation is added to all selected records.

  • An audit record is created to track the update.

Note: If versioning is enabled, only the active version of each record is updated.

Finally, users are prompted to confirm whether they wish to re-cost the affected BOMs, Works Orders, or Quotations following the update.

Note: Existing operations are never overwritten; duplicate operations are automatically excluded if the relevant exclusion options are ticked.
