Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Validate BOM Flags is a standard iDempiere process that verifies whether the Is BOM flag on each product correctly reflects the presence of a valid Bill of Materials (BOM), automatically correcting mismatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used to clean up inconsistent manufacturing master data that can arise from manual changes, data imports, or deletion of BOM records, ensuring products are correctly identified for manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • A product with one or more valid BOM component lines is automatically flagged as Is BOM = Yes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A product without any BOM component lines is automatically flagged as Is BOM = No.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A BOM header without component lines is treated as an invalid BOM.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process updates only the Is BOM flag; it does not create, modify, or delete BOM records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If a Product Category is specified, only products within that category are validated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If no Product Category is selected, all products belonging to the current client are validated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • The Manufacturing module must be configured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Products and BOMs must already be created.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The user must have appropriate permissions to execute manufacturing processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • BOM maintenance activities should be completed before running this process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Set Process Parameters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This step scopes the validation to a specific Product Category, or leaves it unscoped to validate all products for the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Open Validate BOM Flags. Optionally select a Product Category to limit the scope, and optionally check Run as Job to execute in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
        Product Category<\/td>Biscuits & Cookies<\/td>Optional. Validates only products belonging to the selected Product Category; if left blank, all products are validated.<\/td><\/tr>
        Run as Job<\/td>No<\/td>Executes the process as a background job instead of running immediately.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Execute the Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          This step runs the validation scan against the selected scope of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Click Start (OK). The system scans products within the selected scope, comparing each product’s Is BOM flag against its actual BOM component lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Products with valid BOM lines are flagged as Is BOM = Yes, and products without valid BOM lines are flagged as Is BOM = No. No BOM records are created, modified, or deleted by this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Review the Process Log<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            This step confirms which products were updated by the validation run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            After execution, open the Process Log to review the list of products whose Is BOM flag was changed, along with the reason for each change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Product<\/strong><\/td>Log Entry<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
            Gaming PC<\/td>Gaming PC has been flagged as BOM as it has BOM lines.<\/td><\/tr>
            Bicycle<\/td>Bicycle has been flagged as NonBOM as it has no lines.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            The Is BOM flag on each affected product now accurately reflects whether it has a valid Bill of Materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Example: Before and After Validation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            Product<\/strong><\/td>Is BOM (Before)<\/strong><\/td>BOM Lines<\/strong><\/td>Is BOM (After)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
            Bicycle<\/td>Yes<\/td>No<\/td>No<\/td><\/tr>
            Gaming PC<\/td>No<\/td>Yes<\/td>Yes<\/td><\/tr>
            Office Chair<\/td>No<\/td>No<\/td>No<\/td><\/tr>
            Dining Table<\/td>Yes<\/td>Yes<\/td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Common Issues and Resolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            Issue<\/strong><\/td>Cause<\/strong><\/td>Resolution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
            Product remains Non-BOM<\/td>The BOM has no active component lines<\/td>Verify that the BOM contains at least one active BOM component line.<\/td><\/tr>
            Product unexpectedly changed to Non-BOM<\/td>BOM component lines were removed or the BOM is incomplete<\/td>Check whether all BOM component lines were removed or the BOM is incomplete.<\/td><\/tr>
            No products updated<\/td>Selected Product Category contains no BOM products<\/td>Confirm that the selected Product Category contains BOM products, or run the process without a Product Category filter.<\/td><\/tr>
            Manufacturing product not recognized<\/td>Product lacks a valid BOM with component lines<\/td>Ensure the product has a valid BOM with component lines and rerun the process<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            After validating BOM flags, the typical follow-up sequence includes creating or maintaining Bills of Materials, creating Production Orders, running Material Requirements Planning (MRP), performing Manufacturing Cost Rollup, and executing manufacturing transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
