Create new Breeder Bill of Materials

When creating a new breeder BOM, you are presented with the following options:

Item Number: Enter the item number of the breeder item you want to create a breeder BOM for.
UOM: Inventory unit of measure.
Show Expired Components: Select to display expired components in the Co-Product/By-Product Definitions display. Expired components are components that have been expired from the breeder BOM.
Show Future Components: Select to display future components in the Co-Product/By-Product Definitions display. Future components are components that will be added to the breeder BOM at a future point in time.
Costs Absorbed: Displays the percentage amount of cost absorption each co-product will assume. The costing of co-products is tied directly to the percentage of breeder item costs they absorb. For best results, all your breeder co-products and by-products should use the same costing method (i.e., either standard or average cost). Mixing the two costing methods on one breeder BOM can lead to unexpected results. For more information, see Section 5.1.1, “ Breeder Bill of Materials Item”.
Co-Product/By-Product Definitions: Display lists all the component items in the breeder BOM.
