How to Create a Multi-Level BOM in Cetec ERP

What if I have a top-level assembly that contains a sub-assembly? How do I create a BOM in Cetec with multiple levels?

What if I want to create a multi-level BOM? Let's walk through the steps of creating a BOM (part) and then assigning that BOM (part) as a component of another BOM (part). Open Cetec and click Parts.

Click Part List

Click Create New

Assign your new part a PRC code. Any PRC codes you've created will show up in this drop-down list.

Fill in the part number. You can also use text here.

Add a description for easier searchability later.

To make sure this part gets set up as a BOM, I need to click this checkbox.
