A recipe is a list of components used to assemble a bill of materials.
The same BOM could be assembled using different components. As such, it's possible to add more than one recipe for each BOM.
You can specify a default recipe, which ensures this recipe is used when items are assembled automatically.
Creating recipes
- Find the BOM in the Bill of materials listing and click Edit
- Click the Add new recipe button
- Enter:
- a recipe name
- a qty (this is the number of finished products this recipe will assemble)
- select whether this is the BOM's default recipe
- Click Add new component
- In the SKU field, search for the component SKU and select it from the drop-down
- Enter the quantity required to assemble the BOM
- Add all required components, repeating steps 4-6
- Click Save
Exporting recipes
In the Bill of material listing click the Export BOMs button to download a CSV file containing your BOMs and their recipes.
Importing recipes
Recipes can be created by import using a CSV file.
It is easiest to use an export file as the template for importing.
The CSV file should contain the following columns:
Field | Description |
BOMId | The product ID of the BOM's product record in Brightpearl |
BOMQty | The number of finished products this recipe will create |
AutoAssembly | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
AutoPriceUpdate | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
DefaultBinLocation | The default warehouse location for assembled items |
compProdId | The product ID of the component's product record in Brightpearl |
compProdName | The name of the component |
compProdSku | The SKU of the component |
compProdQty | The component quantity |
RecipeId | The recipe ID |
RecipeName | The recipe name |
PrimaryRecipe | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
deleteBom | Leave blank when creating recipes, or enter 1 to delete an existing recipe |
Follow these steps to import recipes:
