Material list

In this procedure you can create material lists from the BOM and routing structure. Here you can for example modify planned material consumption and it is also possible to change material. You can only load and modify data for existing material. You determine whether or not the list should be possible to update by using the button in the toolbar. All the material is loaded, regardless of any terms for alternate BOM and routing.

You can select list type and how the list is presented. In the selection and under the settings, you select which parts you wish to show.

Material list

In this list you can modify information on material rows. The Compact presentation is used to get an overview, while more detailed information is shown in the Expanded presentation. In the Expanded presentation it is possible to add an instruction comment and to add terms.

The presentations determine how the selected list should be displayed/presented. For example if it should be presented as grouped or as total. There are some standard presentations included in the program.

In most procedures where you can load lists, it is possible to create your own presentations. This is done under Presentations in the backstage of the procedure in question. If you create your own presentation you can for example choose if it should have a drilldown function and a drilldown filterering.

You can select which columns the list should consist of, and for each of the columns you can configure grouping, sorting, aggregation, and if the column should be shown in chart form and if it should be printed. Additionally you can also make printout settings, chart settings, and settings regarding extra aggregation.
