The BOM validation form (window) is called up from the packing form. It is used when packing a composite product to ensure that the actions defined for the items on the bill of materials (individual components/materials) have been completed correctly before the product is packed.
The following actions can currently be defined for a BOM item in ProductSetupManagement:
Not all BOM items require the user to perform a corresponding action. For the sake of clarity, such items are not listed. Only items with at least one assigned action are visible on the form.
The following table explains the traffic light symbols displayed in the column next to the actions to be performed:

Once all actions defined for the product and its materials/components have been completed, the results obtained are reported to ProductSetupManagement, and the interface returns to the previous packing process so that this can now be completed. |
