Step 1: Create a Bill of Materials (BOM)

  1. Navigate to Inventory Admin > Bills of Materials.

  2. View your existing BOMs or create a new one if needed.

    • Example: "Chocolate Cookie BOM."

    • Add components, adjust quantities, and save the BOM.


Step 2: Search for the Finished Goods SKU

  1. Go to the SKU Management section in Luminous.

  2. Search for the SKU associated with the finished product.

    • Example: If your finished product is a "10 ft rod," locate that SKU.


Step 3: Attach the BOM to the Finished Goods SKU

  1. Select the finished goods SKU.

  2. Click on the Bill of Materials tab within the SKU details.

  3. Add the BOM:

    • Search for the BOM you created.

    • Select the appropriate BOM and attach it to the SKU.


Step 4: Manage Multiple BOMs (Optional)

  • If your finished product can be produced using different methods or substitutes, you can attach multiple BOMs to the same SKU.

    • Example: One BOM might use "Cocoa" from Supplier A, while another BOM substitutes "Cocoa" from Supplier B.

  • This provides flexibility in managing inventory and production.


By following these steps, you can successfully attach a BOM to a finished goods SKU in Luminous, preparing it for assembly orders and enabling seamless production processes.
