B.O.M.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   New to using Almyta ABC Inventory and relatively new to using MPR software.
Can someone please confirm if the ABC system has B.O.M. or is that part of ACS?

I have installed both on different machines and cannot figure out how to create a B.O.M. from entered inventory parts.

The manual doesn't appear to mirror the software options.

I expect that I am doing something wrong.

	Help/Starting Up menu. Creating Bill of Material Items page 28, Managing Components page 31.

	Thanks I had been following those pages but the manual screen does not match that in the software. Manual refers to BOM id whilst software shows Kit id which I thought was a different type of build (manual kitting). Discrepancies make it harder to follow and learn for novices. Maybe not the system to use for us.

	You renamed the BOM to KIT when used the Configure function. Now, you cannot find BOM but see KIT. No wonder.

	Once again thanks for assistance. Don't think that I would have spotted that any time soon. Just shows that you shouldn't try to walk before you can crawl.

	That didn't work. I tried adding a new Master Item to your sample data and when I pressed * to look at all database items to add a component the system failed, and stated "Can't find the database you specified, or you didn't specify a database at all. Specify a valid database name in the command line, and include a path if necessary." Of course, I'm not using a command line and wonder if that's something that happens in the background. In any case, if I can add components to a BOM the software is not useful. Any ideas? Windows 10.
