This section describes the programs and procedures  that are used to process Shop Floor Transactions and it highlights some of the extensive features that are available in the system.  The business processes that are described in this section include:

Bill of Materials Setup and Maintenance

      Adding or Editing Bill of Materials Comments.  BOM comments are comments that are used by the Shop Floor system and that are maintained at the BOM Header and BOM Line Item Level.   A BOM comment can be entered for each BOMHEAD or BOM Line item record in the system.

      Adding Images to a Bill of Materials.  The Imaging system can be used to quickly attach images, documents, and other files – such as technical drawings to a specific Bill of Materials or Bill of Materials Line Item.

Inventory Shop Order Comments – Setup and Maintenance

      Adding Inventory Shop Order comments to an item.  Inventory Shop Order Comments are a special type of comment used to store information about the item that is relevant when it is used in the Shop Order system.  This comment type can be accessed from the Shop Floor System, it is automatically printed on any shop order documents and it is maintained at the Inventory Item Level.
