Understanding BOM Status in Business Central

Introduction

In Dynamics 365 Business Central, managing the Bill of Materials (BOM) status is crucial for effective production and inventory control. The BOM status indicates the readiness of a BOM for use in production processes, ensuring that only approved and up-to-date BOMs are utilized.

Key BOM Statuses

  1. New: The initial status when a BOM is created. It indicates that the BOM is under development and not yet ready for use.
  2. Under Development: This status is used when a BOM is still being created or modified. It signals that the BOM is not yet finalized.
  3. Certified: Once reviewed and approved, the BOM status is updated to certified. This status allows the BOM to be used in production orders and planning.
  4. Closed: A BOM that is no longer in use is marked as closed. This status prevents it from being used in future production processes but keeps the BOM for historical records.

Benefits

  • Quality Control: Ensures that only reviewed and approved BOMs are used in production, reducing errors and maintaining product quality.
  • Change Management: Facilitates tracking and managing changes to BOMs, ensuring that updates are properly reviewed and implemented.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps maintain compliance with industry standards and regulations by ensuring proper documentation and approval processes.

Conclusion

Understanding and managing BOM status in Business Central is essential for maintaining efficient and error-free production processes. By using the appropriate statuses, businesses can ensure that only accurate and approved BOMs are utilized, thereby enhancing production quality and compliance.
