Read the Table

  • All Admin and Procurement users will see the BOM Table view in the Kojo web app.

  • Each row is a planned material.

  • Some columns have values entered by you and some are calculated. A few are required, and most are optional. All the columns are defined below. Those in gray will only show up if they are included as part of the initial upload.

See Estimates to Actuals

  • Quantities are tracked in the BOM view with the “Used Qty” column. The “Remain Qty” column reports how much is left to order.

    • Negative numbers indicate that the estimates were exceeded.

    • In the full BOM view, sort by the “Remain Qty” column to more easily see which line items were over- or under-estimated.

  • In the BOM view, the “Avg Unit Cost” column shows the weighted average for each line item.

  • Click the blue text to see how this number is calculated from all committed costs. See which vendor was the cheapest, what the last price paid was, and follow links to any relevant POs.

Search, Sort, and Filter

  • In the BOM view, the Search box will search Descriptions, UPCs, and MPNs and no other values.

  • All columns are sortable, either ascending or descending in value.

  • Filter the BOM to quickly find what you’re looking for. Filters are based on the values listed in the Phase Codes, Cost Codes, and any other optional columns you may have. Filters can be combined.

  • See which filters are applied in the BOM table view.

Edit the BOM

  • All non-calculated values can be edited directly in the BOM table view as long as the user has the permissions to do so.

  • Set BOM Editing permissions.

    • All Admin users have permission to edit BOM values.

    • Grant permission to edit the BOM to Procurement users in Settings. (This option only exists for Procurement users.)

      • Navigate to ⚙️ Settings / ⚙️ Admin / Users

      • For the Procurement user, under options, choose: “Modify Permissions”

      • Set the toggle for Editing the Bill of Materials.
