The material to be processed by the MTO job must be specified by selecting BOM setup points, which are nodes on the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). These nodes are called BOM setup nodes because the MTO job identifies in a first step all the nodes of the BOM structure, which are placed below one of these BOM setup nodes. After that, all BOM positions associated to these identified BOM nodes are included in the MTO. To allow the user to assign more than one BOM setup node to an MTO type, the setup points are grouped in sets of BOM setup nodes. After defining these sets, the user can assign one set to each MTO type.

With the BOM sets, you define the scope of the BOM that are included in an MTO type and thus in the created requisitions. Ideally, it is wise to include all BOM nodes in one BOM set to ensure no material is excluded material from the requisitions. By selecting the top node of the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), all sub-nodes of this node, and thus all associated positions are also included.

BOM sets can also be defined on lower (sub-node) levels; however, this requires a careful definition of additional BOM sets to include the remaining BOM nodes, and thus to ensure all material is captured.

To assign a BOM Set to the MTO Type, select one from the list of Values by clicking in the BOM Node field.

To create a BOM Set, open the BOM Set window by clicking Create New BOM Set button.
In the BOM Set window, enter the name in the BOM Set Name cell. Add the descriptions in the Short Description and Description cells. Select the appropriate BOM Nodes from the BOM Node tree, and click Add. Then click Create.

Do not modify the BOM sets after requisitions have been generated. The calculation of quantity changes is based on consistent scopes. The quantities calculated based on the new/modified BOM sets are not comparable to the requisition quantities calculated based on the original BOM set.
