| New BOM | Enter the name for the BOM document that you want to assign parts to. In some cases, this may be an existing BOM document number for an existing asset that you are planning to make additions to. | |
| Revision | Selecting the Revision toggle allows you to input a revision number that will be created for this BOM. Revisions are useful when making changes to an existing BOM document for an asset. | |
| Starting Sheet No | This becomes enabled when creating a revision and allows you to specify the starting page number of the Bill of Material document that you want to add new entries to. This is useful if you have existing BOM documents and you want to add new items to the end of the existing document. You can define a BOM report template to use this starting number as the first page number of the report you generate. You could then merge the resulting report with your existing report to ensure that the page numbering flows properly. | |
| Balloon no range | Enter a 'Start' and 'End' value to define a range of balloon numbers that you want to allow for the revision. This is useful to ensure that when you are adding new entries to an existing BOM document that you do not accidentally reuse a previously taken balloon number. The BOM Manager will alert you if you attempt to enter a balloon number for a new part that is outside the specified range for this revision. | |
| Address | The address lines are optional but let you enter the site address where the materials will be shipped to. | |
| Save | Click this button to create the new BOM Document and corresponding Revision, if specified. |
