Master Bill of Materials

Version 8.0 Changes

• Added an Incidental Materials indicator to allow designation of materials that are to be tracked for Received and Accepted quantities but where payment of the material is not directly made via Ticket or Pay Record. These materials will no longer show as payment discrepancies in Project Certification/Audit Materials.

Version 6.4.3 Changes

• Corrected a problem where the substitution group field was protected even if all other records from that group were deleted. Users can now remove the substitution groups and delete substitutable materials from the Master Bill of Materials as needed.

Version 6.4.1 Changes

• M&T has been updating the Master Bill of Materials to designate which items are "Labor Only". This improves the integrity of the new "Labor Only" edit in Estimates and reduces the instances where the warning is produced falsely.

Version 6.4 Changes

• Added a “Labor Only” indicator to designate which Master Bill of Materials items don’t require any materials at all. Items that are not labor only should have materials assigned either by M&T on the Master Bill of Materials or by RE Office Personnel on the Contract Bill of Materials before payments are made on these items. Authorized personnel, primarily from Materials & Test are responsible for setting/maintaining this indicator on each item.

  Note: Materials can still be added to items marked as “Labor Only” if desired. The intention of the indicator is to aid in Project Certification such that items involving materials at least have some materials on them. There is no way the system can verify that all materials or even the correct materials are assigned to the correct items, only that items involving materials have some materials tracked.

Version 6.1 Changes

• The window now allows multiple materials to be deleted in one action by using Shift-Click or Control-Click to highlight multiple rows.

• Added the Minimum Sampling Guide’s Criticality field for the material’s displayed on the Master Bill of Materials.

• The window has been modified such that a conversion factor of 0 is only valid if the conversion factor unknown indicator is set.

Version 4.4 Changes

• The "Supplemental Description" heading used throughout the Master Bill of Material Report is no longer cut off on the hard copy of the report.

Version 4.0 Changes

• When the Conversion Unknown checkbox is marked, users can identify that a standard conversion factor for material associated to a line item (master bill of material) cannot be determined because the conversion factor may vary from contract to contract.

• A conversion factor must be greater than 0 for materials that are critical to project certification.

• The Master Bill of Materials Report now excludes materials that are expired.

• The Material Response window has Find and Sort functions.

• You can select active materials from the Material Selection window.

• The system always deletes the highlighted material.
