BOM Function Icons

The Variations toggle Icon allows you to enable and disable variational components of the BOM in the current view. Clicking Variations displays the source, colorway, size, and destination variations defined for this BOM. To select the size category variation, use the Size Definition list at the top of the window.

Click the variations of the BOM you want to edit. Press CTRL to select multiple variations or SHIFT to select a range of variations. You can also select All variations or None of the variations for editing.

The Header Attributes toggle icon allows you to edit general attributes that apply to the overall BOM. Certain attributes, such as the name of the BOM might be hidden. Clicking Header Attributes displays the list of general attributes that you can edit. Editing these attributes affects what is displayed in the Header Attributes header on the main BOM information page.

After you have made your edits, click Header Attributes to hide the BOM Identification, General Attributes, and Primary Material sections.

The Images icon toggles between the Edit BOM window and a split view that includes an images pane in the top half of the split window. Select the image you want to view or edit from the Images list. You can perform a number of actions related to the image you have selected, including viewing and updating the image.

The Materials icon toggles between the Edit BOM window and a split view that includes the material search pane in the lower half of the split window. You can hide the material search pane by clicking Materials or by clicking the close icon

in the upper right corner of the material search pane.

◦ Selecting from the Material Type list refreshes the page to include a number of additional search criteria. The number of additional search criteria and the criteria fields vary by material type. Many criteria are automatically populated with those characteristics belonging to the material type you selected.

2. When you have entered all of the desired criteria, click Search in the upper left corner of the Search tab. When the search is complete, the system displays those materials matching your criteria in the List tab.

◦ Click the right pointing arrow in the Insert Material column for any material to insert that material into the currently highlighted line on the BOM.

◦ When you click the name of any material or supplier, a window appears where you can view and edit information about the material or supplier.

◦ The name of the last material added to the BOM is added to the materials clipboard. Click (Clear) to remove the material from the materials clipboard.

The Colors icon toggles between the Edit BOM window and a split view that includes a color search pane in the lower half of the split window.

The color search pane has different available search parameters than the material search pane, but otherwise, the Colors icon functions in the same manner as the Materials icon. See the section Materials Icon above for details on how to work with the Colors icon functionality.

The color clipboard functionality is also supported. Click (Clear) to remove the color from the color clipboard.

You can toggle more than one BOM function icon to display its box or split window; however, all boxes and split windows appear at the same time. Toggling on multiple split windows causes the Edit BOM window to narrow. When you view multiple split windows, there is very little room for the edit BOM functionality. You can manually change the height of any of the BOM function icon split windows. Place your cursor on the edge of the split window that is closest to the Edit BOM window. In the image pane, place your cursor on the bottom edge of the pane. In the material or color pane, place your cursor on the top edge of the pane. Be careful not to place your cursor on the edges of the Edit BOM window.

Wait until your cursor becomes a double ended arrow. When it does, click your left mouse button and drag the edge to the desired height. The split window is resized as you move your mouse. If you do not see the screen changing height with your cursor, then you have not placed your cursor over the correct edge.
