Referencing a Common Bill

Trigger:

Concept
The Create Common Bills page enables you to reference common bills and routings. Any two
items that are of the same bill type can share common bills and routings. If two different items
share the same bill or routing, you can define the bill or routing once and then maintain one copy
instead of two.

If two or more organizations manufacture the same item using the same bill of material, you can
define the bill in one organization and reference it from the other organizations. Necessary
changes must then be made to the referenced bill. You can also reference all but the following
five fields in a bill; you must maintain these fields by individual bill of material:

• Supply Type
• Subinventory
• Locator
• Operation Seq
• Include In Cost Rollup

You can create a common bill within the same organization, and across multiple organizations.
You have the option to create common bills in all organizations under the current organization in
the chosen organization hierarchy, or create common bills in all organizations that have the same
item master organization as the current organization and are accessible by the user responsibility.
Sharing bills across multiple organizations minimizes the maintenance of your bills of material.

In this topic, you will reference a common bill.
