Invoicing a Bill of Materials

When invoicing a Bill of Materials, enter a Debtors Invoice. In the Stock Code field enter the Bill of Material's Bill Code preceded by a full stop – for example, .CARCARE03.

Depending on whether you enabled the Hide lines on reports option during setup, you may or may not be able to view the components that make up this Bill of Materials. Enter any other details and click Save to save the invoice.

Supplying a manufactured item in a Sales Order is entered exactly the same way as above. Enter the Output Code you created into the stock code field. Manufactured items can also be transferred between locations as a standard stock item.

Editing Bills of Materials on Invoices

By default, you can't edit the quantities and prices of Bill of Material header and component lines. This preserves the header/lines relationship.

Note: Order templates are not true Bills of Materials, so this constraint does not apply to them.

To edit the lines independently, you must disable the Enforce bill of materials header and line constraints Company-level profile setting in Exo Business Configurator. Disabling this setting treats Bill of Material lines as individual lines.
