BOM Journal Posting in AX 2012

BOM journals are being used in the Production Module.Bill of material journal is used in order to receive the finished good into inventory and issue the component items.Unlike any other journals, like Movement Journal Posting or Counting Journal posting, BOM journal posting is little bit different. Lets discuss on the same in details.

First of all, we need to create a product with Production type as BOM for the item on which BOM posting will be done under the Engineer fast tab.

Navigation: Product Information Management > Common > Products > Released Products

NOTE: Given the Name of the BOM item as Finished Good-BOM.

Now I am taking some general items (Item name- Test-1, Test-2 and Test-3) having the Production type as None and attaching these items into the BOM item (Finished Good-BOM) that we have created just before.

NOTE: The general items that will be attached with the BOM item (Finished Good-BOM)

Taking the BOM item > Engineer Ribbon > BOM pane > Lines > Create BOM

Enter a description under the BOM and enter the site and then click OK.

Attach the items into the BOM lines and then Approve and Activate the BOM by clicking the  Approve and Activate button.

Now Navigate to Inventory & Warehouse Management >Journals > Item Transaction > Bill of Materials. Click New Journal and go to lines.

Now click BOM > Reported as Finished

Now create a new entry (Cntrl + N) and select the item ( as we have used this item Finished Good-BOM). Select the BOM under the BOM field.

NOTE:  Make the Post Now field as unchecked. Explosion as always. And then click OK

Now once I click OK, the lines will come under the original journal lines form.

NOTE: the negative sign shows that this item is being consumed.
