    • If the item exists in the list, select the item and click Change or Change oper.

    For this task, select the item and click Change. (Note: If you click Change oper you will access the Structure maintenance, Bill of routing panel directly).

  3. You access Work with structures, Structure header. Complete the following fields:
    4. Item
    Enter an item for which you wish to create an item structure. Note: The item you enter must be defined in the Item file as item type 1 (end product), 2 (sub-assembly) or 8 (budget item).
    Warehouse
    Note: This field is only displayed when Whs in BOM is set to YES in the MFG control file. If this field is displayed, enter a unique warehouse for this item structure.

    If the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) function is activated in the Function control file, the warehouse entered must be classified as a normal or trade (logical) warehouse (i.e. the Warehouse characteristic flag in Work with warehouses must be set to 1 (normal) or 2 (trade). See About the stock ownership functionality for more information.

An item can have several variants, where parts of the bill of material and/or bill of routing differ from the base structure. The base structure always has variant 000. The base structure is used in basic data product costing as the structure to update cost price in the Item file or in the Item/Warehouse file. It is also used in the MRP function for making the structure explosion when creating order proposals.
    Structure quantity
    Enter a quantity indicating the relationship between the structure quantity and the component quantities/operation times. The base structure quantity is 1. The structure quantity can be used to adjust component quantities in order to avoid decimals in the bill of material. Note: This field must be numeric with three decimal places. It only contains positive values.
