About the Bill Maintenance Options The Bill Maintenance option menu allows you to work on one bill of materials after another without ever leaving the Bill Maintenance screen. Once a bill has been accessed, you can view the bill information, make changes to the information already applied to the bill, or add and delete information by selecting available options from the option menu.
Selecting an option takes you to the part of the bill where the addition or modification will take place. After you have entered the changes to the bill, the option menu will once again be displayed.
Apart from Bill Number and Header Information, any information previously entered for an option is displayed in the working area of the screen. Prompts requiring your attention, which pertain to the selected option’s fields, appear at the bottom of the screen.
Header InformationThis option allows inquiry or change to the bill’s header information. This option is automatically accessed during the setup of a bill of materials, or may be used at any time to change information for an existing bill.

Lock Reference Numbers checkbox... New work orders created from scratch will have the box unchecked by default, whereas new work orders that are copies of existing work orders will have the lock set. The "Lock Reference Numbers" flag is controlled by the user – it can be checked/unchecked at any time until a work order is closed. The user will need to confirm each time the flag is changed.
In the Unit of Measure field... The unit entered in the Unit-of-Sale field of the Item Information option in the Inventory Control’s Inventory Item Maintenance task is the default in this field.
In the Estimated Yield Percent field... Yield is generally associated with process manufacturing. Percentages are applied against the parent item and are used to compensate for anticipated manufacturing losses. The estimated yield is determined by calculating how much usable output is generated when the product is produced. For instance, a yield % of 95 will indicate that in order for you to manufacture 100 items, a production order of 105 should be initiated.
