The Bill of Materials (or BOM) refers to all parts that have been used on a machine. In eFACTORYPRO, the BOM is enterprise-wide, model-specific. What that means, is it is not specific down to the machine at your site. If you have a Lincoln Welder: LINCOLN ELECTRIC CO FLEXTEC 650 at your site, and so does site 564 and 565 and 735, any part that is used on that model of welder will show in the Bill of Materials. This is intentional - the purpose of which is best practice sharing. Because you can see all parts that have been used on the model by any site that has the same equipment, if you are out of a part you normally use, you can see options that other sites successfully use.
The exception to this rule is if the Welder has been customized past the point of being similar to it's original design. If there have been customizations to the model, it will be given a different model number to designate that it is NOT the same as the other machines in our database.
Shortly after the part is consumed on the task, it is added to the BOM. (There is approximately a 15 min delay).
Let's look at an example:
1. From the main menu in the CLIENT, go to Service > Equipment.
2. Enter part of the description in the text box of the Search field.
3. Click the green magnifying glass.
4. The number of results will populate at the bottom.
5. Click on a tile to load the equipment record.
6. This record is actually filtered by Equipment ID. Remember, the Equipment ID is Unique.
7. The Asset ID is what we will use when we look this up in the Portal.
8. Click on the Parts Used Tab in the lower workspace.
9. In this case, there are 4 parts that have been used on this machine at this site.
Remember, the BOM is actually housed on the Model.
10. Click on the Model Description (in this case it is Welder). It is a Hyperlink.
11. Select the Bill of Materials tab. A screen will open showing all the Parts on the BOM.
12. The easiest way to find the Part ID in question is to use the filter. A pop-up box comes up.
13. Choose Part ID from the drop down.
14. Choose Equal as the Operator.
15. Enter the Part number in the Value Field.
16. Click OK.
17. The results will populate.
18. To see how this all works for the tech, go to the Portal. Find a task for the specified Equipment (WE015.)
19. When adding a part need, the Bill of Material will automatically populate. To narrow your selection, search for the description or part number in question.
The results will populate.
