Visual BOM Order Change?

Hi everyone,

 

One of our clients upgraded within our implementation process to 2022R2.

They will be a heavy user of the Manufacturing suite.

We imported some sample Bill of Materials for Training purposes and realized that the Order on the Visual BOM follows some other logic than the Engineering Workbench.

 

The Engineering Workbench shows the 1:1 replica of the BOM in terms of Operations and Materials.

The Visual BOM seems to take the BOM ID from the nested BOM into consideration. It mixes the order of Materials up completely. Is anybody aware of the Logic behind it?
The User is trained to consider the order of Materials when creating the BOM. It is easy to change through the Engineering Workbench, but once again the Visual BOM seems to have a different Ordering Sequence for that.

Did anybody experience similar things before or knows why the two screens use different Ordering sequences?

 

Thank you!

It is possible the material sort order is not considered in Visual BOM screen.  You could log this as a usability issue with Acumatica Support.  Or just switch to using the Engineering Workbench as this is intended to be a replacement of the Visual BOM screen.

Thanks for confirming that this is intended to replace the Visual BOM. 
I’ve been training them on the Engineering Workbench but I was curious if there was insight to this difference.

 

Thank you Angie!

The visual bom should show the components in the same order as the bill and MLB reports.  Most users will not have access to the engineering workbench.
