Invoicing a Bill of Materials

When invoicing a Bill of Materials, enter the Debtors Invoice in the usual method. In the Stock Code field enter the Bill of Material's Bill Code preceded by a full stop. e.g. .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. Continue to enter any other required 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, the quantities and prices of Bill of Material header and component lines are locked from editing to ensure the header/lines relationship. (Order templates are not true Bills of Materials, but simply "shopping lists", so this constraint does not apply to them.)

If you want to be able to edit the lines independently, you must disable the Enforce bill of materials header and line constraints Company-level profile setting. Disabling this setting means that Bill of Material lines are treated as individual lines.
