It's finally here, the ability to copy your Bill of Materials from one product to another. We're super excited to share this little delight with you because of how much time it can save teams as they're building out BoMs across products and over seasons 🤠
How to Import a BoM from a Product 👕
Nothing has really changed within the BoM area for now, so you'll use the same process as importing from a BoM Template. Just make sure you already built out a previous product BoM before you start this process.
Open up the product that you want to import your BoM into
Enter the BoM Section
Open the Overflow Menu using the 3 Dot Icon at the top right
Click on "Import Product BOM"
Search and select the product you want to import from.
Import using the buttons for either "Replace" or "Merge"
Replace will delete all the existing items and previous work in the product that you are importing into.
Merge will add the entire BoM from the product you are importing from, and place it at the end of the current product Bill of Materials.
Then your BoM should have successfully landed into your product, from another product!
Use Cases 🗂️
This might be helpful if you want to bring back an old style from a previous year/season,
maybe it's an item you don't make often. or perhaps it's a list of unique materials, so it might not warrant creating a BoM template.
If those sound like something you're doing, maybe using this method of copying a BoM from a 1 off product might be your new favorite solution!
