Chapter 1: Bill of Material Setup
We provide you with an overview of the Bill of Material module and the four major areas of functionality. We cover the basic concept of what a Bill of Material is and how they are used. You learn how to setup Bill of Material and gain an understanding of how to setup site-specific bills. We review the basics of the Bill of Material accounting flow, including the affect on General Ledger variance accounts, and other setup options which affect the processing of a Bill of Material.
Main Topics

After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Understand the windows that should be completed to set up the Bill of Material module.
- Understand the differences and ramifications of a standard costing system over an actual costing system.
Chapter 2: Active Overview
This chapter summarizes the main processing steps for completing a Bill of Material.
Main Topics
- Overview
- Procedures for Processing Bills of Material
After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Understand the basic flow of data through the Bill of Material module.
- Understand how setup options in other Microsoft Dynamics SL modules affect processing in the Bill of Material module.
Chapter 3: Bill of Material Maintenance
This chapter discusses the process for creating and assembling a Bill of Material and the setup options within the Inventory module which must be determined before using Bill of Material Maintenance. We discuss the differences between creating and accessing a Bill of Material in Bill of Material Maintenance versus the Inventory Kits Maintenance window. You learn how to manage component availability by utilizing the Stock Usage feature. We show you how to document engineering changes to a Bill of Material component, thus providing an audit trail.
You also learn how to view product structures using a familiar "explorer" type tool, navigating up and down the tree that represents the parent/child relationships between parts. You learn how to identify items to be used in the manufacturing process and what quantities are required, adjusted by designated scrap factors.
Main Topics
- Bill of Material Maintenance
- Managing Component Availability
- Bill of Material Inquiry
- Change Control
Lab: Creating a Bill of Material
- Create a new bill of material.
Lab: Managing Component Availability
- Edit bill of material and set stock usage policy.
Lab: Change Control
- Create a revision to the bill of material.
- Use Apply Date-Effective Revisions process.
After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Setup a Bill of Material.
- Manage component availability in a Bill of Material.
- Use Engineering Change Order functionality and document changes to a Bill of Material start and stop date.
Chapter 4: Production Resources
In this chapter, you learn the process setting up and using Routing Inputs. You gain an understanding of the various resources which need to be setup and how Microsoft Dynamics SL uses each of these resources to help define how manufacturing occurs on a Bill of Material.
Main Topics
- Routing Inputs
- Machines and Tools
- Labor Classes
- Operations
- Work Centers
Lab: Set Up Production Resources
- Create a machine resource in Machine Maintenance.
- Create a tool resource in Tool Maintenance.
- Create a labor class resource in Labor Class Maintenance.
- Create an operation resource in Operation Maintenance.
- Create work center resources in Work Center Maintenance.
After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Understand the various Production Resources needed to define routings and how routings use these resources.
- Create Production Resources.
Chapter 5: Routings
This lesson introduces you to the concept of Routings (also called process sheets, runsheets, or bills of operations). We show you how to define and document how the parts to be used in the manufacturing process are to be assembled and processed. You learn how, for each Bill of Material, you may define a corresponding routing(from simple, using minimal labor information, to complex, focusing on move and queue time. You gain an understanding of the benefits of using routings, and which information must be entered prior to using Routings
Main Topics
- Routing Header Information
- Routing Detail Information
- Changing Routings
Lab: Creating a Production Routing
After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Understand purpose and use of Routings.
- Understand the information which needs to be setup prior to using Routings..
- Enter a Production Routing.
Chapter 6: Costing
In this chapter you gain an understanding of how to build on product structures and routings to help you roll up standard costs, whether you are valuing your inventory at standard cost, or using one of the actual costing methods supported by Microsoft Dynamics SL Inventory. We show you how the robust update and rollup cost tools will make your job easier. You also gain an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of average actual costing versus using standard costing.
Main Topics
- Overview of Costing
- Updating Standard Costs
- Overhead Standard Costs
- Updating Pending Costs
- Computer Cost Rollup
- Reports
Lab: Product Costing
- Update the labor and material overhead rates involved in completing a Bill of Material
After completing this chapter, students are able to:
- Understand the concept of costing in Bill of Material module, and the impact on both the Bill of Material and components.
- Update pending costs for a Bill of Material and components.
- Update standard costs for a Bill of Material.
- Determine appropriate overhead application methods and apply overhead costs to a Bill of Material.
- Compute pending standard cost rollups for a Bill of Material.
- Execute comprehensive reports and use inquiry windows to obtain information which you can use to analyze and improve business processes.
Chapter 7: Production Planning and Control
We show you how to use the flexibility built in to the Bill of Material module to build materials as planned or change the plan on-the-fly at a site level. We show you how to harness the flexibility of Bill of Materials to allow you to adapt business plans to meet your changing production, material, and labor requirements. You learn how to utilize Assembly Plans to communicate to your production department what to build and when. We show you how you can utilize the Shortage Check functionality to help determine the answer to "what-if" customer demand scenarios and accurately plan availability to create a forecasted manufacturing plan. We also show you how to complete the cycle of Production Entry and receive the completed items into Inventory.
Main Topics
- Production Planning
- Production Availability: Can We Build It?
- Communicating Planned Production to Manufacturing
- Using Order Point to Plan Production
- Production Entry
- Entering Production Quantities
- Adjusting Component Quantities
