Introduction
Paragon allows you to modify the BOM (bill of materials) of a product on specific transactions. This can be useful when a customer would like to have a product customized or changed. Here, we'll walk you through on how to include and modify BOMs on your purchase orders.
Advanced settings in transactions
Use this article and follow the instructions to enable access to the custom bill of materials in advanced settings.
There is an advanced settings option in the screen setup for each transaction. The custom bom setting is available in the following transactions: invoice, order, purchase order and work order. Choose any or all of these transactions to enablecustombom.
For the purpose of this article, enable custombom in the advance settings for purchase orders.
Go to the purchase order module
Edit your custom BOM
Once you are in the purchase order module, select the purchase order you would like to update. To update the custom BOM of a line item, right click the line and click edit custom BOM.
If you want to add materials to your product's BOM, these materials will need to be already set up in the system.
To update the cost of one of the materials in the custom BOM screen, highlight the current cost and type in the new cost. Click the green accept button to save any changes.
Custom BOM currency and symbols
You can select the currency that you would like to use for your PO in the PO header. From a drop down list, select the currency that you would like to work with. The PO will be calculated in this chosen currency.
The currency and symbol selected in the PO header will be reflected in the PO's custom BOM.
Save your changes
To save your changes, click the save button at the bottom right corner of the purchase order screen.
