      <Paragraph>The component items of a manufactured item are listed in the
		BOM lines. Each BOM line contains information about the position of the
		component item in the BOM, the required quantity, the expiry date of the
		component item, and so on. The component items can be either manufactured or
		purchased. You can enter and maintain a BOM line directly in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</GUIRef> overview session. To change more details, you must
		double-click the BOM line, after which the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000" role="session">Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)</GUIRef> details session starts.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If you want to define an BOM for an item, you must first define
		the item in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0501m000" role="session">Items - General (tcibd0501m000)</GUIRef> session, as well as in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/ipd/tiipd0101m000" role="session">Items - Production (tiipd0101m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>You can choose in the View menu how the BOM is presented, and,
		consequently, how the component items are entered:</Paragraph>
      <List>
         <ListItem>By position</ListItem>
         <ListItem>By <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000000000000052" role="glossary">operation</Link> and
		  position.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>In the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0100m000" role="session">Bill of Material Parameters (tibom0100m000)</Link> session you can determine in which view the
		BOM is presented when you start the session. Select in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0100m000#tibom000.mrbo" role="manual">View BOM By</GUIRef> field
		whether you want to view the BOM by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/bom.mrbo#item" role="option">Item</GUIRef>, or
		by <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/domains/bom.mrbo#oper" role="option">Operation</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>To replace an outdated component, proceed as
		  follows:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Insert a BOM line with the same <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#BOMPositiNum_wh" role="glossary">BOM position number</Link> as the outdated
		  component.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Enter the date when the switch must occur in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000#tibom010.exdt" role="manual">Expiry Date</GUIRef> field for the outdated component.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Enter the same date in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom1110m000#tibom010.indt" role="manual">Effective Date</GUIRef> field for the new
		  component.</ListItem>
      </ProcedureList>
      <Paragraph>If the outdated component is not used anymore in any BOM, you
		must set the item's last allowed order date in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd2500m000" role="session">Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000)</GUIRef> session. If the last allowed order date is specified
		by warehouse, you must use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/wh/wmd/whwmd2510m000" role="session">Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0100s000#tccom000.altm" role="manual">Use Up and Alternative Materials</GUIRef> check box is selected in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0100s000" role="session">Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)</GUIRef> session, and you enter a new
		component with the same <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#BOMPositiNum_wh" role="glossary">BOM position number</Link> as an existing
		component, ERP Enterprise automatically inserts the outdated material as <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000375" role="glossary" Update="No">use-up material</Link> in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/bom/tibom0150m000" role="session">Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
