Creating Named BOMs

To create a named BOM:

In the main pane, select an item.
On the Bill of Materials tab, for BOM, select the item BOM .
Click Save BOM > Save as BOM .
In the Save As BOM dialog box, type a Name or accept the default.

The default name is <item_ID>.<BOM_number>.BOM. For example, the second named BOM for item 000563 is 000563.2.BOM.
You cannot specify a Save in location. Item Explorer always shows named BOMs as children of the associated items.
Click Save.
