How to Attach a Bill of Materials (BOM) to a Finished Goods SKU in Luminous

This guide explains how to attach a Bill of Materials (BOM) to a finished goods SKU in Luminous, a necessary step before creating an assembly order.

Step 1: Create a Bill of Materials (BOM)

1. Navigate to Inventory Admin > Bills of Materials.
2. Review the existing BOMs or create a new one if necessary.
   • Example: A "Chocolate Cookie" BOM.
   • Add the required components and quantities for the finished product.

Step 2: Locate the Finished Goods SKU

1. Search for the SKU representing your finished product.
   
   • Example: If your finished product is a "10 ft rod," search for that SKU.

Step 3: Attach the BOM to the Finished Goods SKU

1. Click on the SKU to open its details.
2. Navigate to the Bill of Materials section.
3. Add the BOM:

   • Select and attach the BOM to the SKU.

Step 4: Manage Multiple BOMs (Optional)

• If your finished product can be produced using different methods or substitutes, you can attach multiple BOMs to the same SKU.
  • Example: One BOM might use "Cocoa" from Supplier A, while another BOM substitutes "Cocoa" from Supplier B.
• This provides flexibility in managing inventory and production.

By following these steps, you can successfully attach a BOM to a finished goods SKU in Luminous, preparing it for assembly orders and enabling seamless production processes.
