sage line 50

Hi,

Can someone clarify, when you setup an item in sage line 50 under the products module and then click on BOM tab and assign BOM items will it deduct all the BOM and 1 made up item at the point of invoicing?

Please confirm

Thanks

Not at the point of invoicing, have to 'build' item first. Use the transfer button to do this under products. Can't allocate products to invoice if qty is greater than qty in stock field.

The BOM just defines the materials used to create a stock item. Cost of sales is debited with the stock cost / net realisable value at point of sale, but the BOM is a database of definitions and is not affected apart from the sub-stock items.

sure, lets assume a stock item has been created...

Now 2 months later I assign BOM's to that component.

My first question is how do I do this? By opening up products, selecting that item, then clicking on the BOM tab and assigning the sub components?

If yes to the above then at which point will 1 made up item and the BOM for that 1 made up item be downgraded? When I put a Sales Order on?

If no, then please tell me how I go about adding BOM to a product already created...

Also, in purchase order processing, how does one book goods in? By opening up the purchase order and clicking on receive? Or something like that...

Its been a while since I have used Sage Line 50 so just need to reclarify...

Thanks

In products, click 'transfer' open the main product, enter the quantity to 'build' BOM items will be reduced, stock of main product increased. You have to do this before Sales Order as you may have insufficient stock to create a sales order.

If no, then please tell me how I go about adding BOM to a product already created...

Yes, use GRN (Goods Received Notes)

If BOM hasn't been used in the past, i'd suggest running the stock take report, doing a stock take & recording the actual stock first so you know your starting off with true figures.
