BOM multi-level reports for GP 10

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 28,058 Moderator

Hi everybody,

I was looking for someone that had already tangled this challenge :-) in Dynamics GP... We're using the manufacturing module in GP and the users are in need for a better report than the default multi-level BOM Text report.  I've searched accrossed the net several forums and places, and aside from one blog where I could get the code for a multi-level Inventory BOM (thanks to Mariano Gomez), I couldn't not locate much infos. I tried several options in SQL, but the trick is to deal with an undefined amount of levels (could go from 1-n, in our case up to 6 levels deep). 

Another reason why the default BOM Text report of GP is useles, is because of the way it reports out the item list. They are sorted in alphabetic order and not respecting the sequence order they were entered in GP. Some of our BOM could be as large as 33 pages and take quite a long time to print out (at least 2-3 minutes before the first page shows up and another 2-3 minutes until the last page is processed).

So anybody is welcome that could provide me with at least a usable SQL scripts that manages properly the multi-levels. I can workout the integration in either Excel, SSRS or Crystal myself. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello Beat,

    I have a small module written in Dexterity that generates a really slick multi-level bill-of-material report from the BOM tables in the Manufacturing module.

    Please send me your email and I’ll send you a .PDF sample of the report.

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for you proposal, but I'm looking for something that allows to export the report result later on to an Excel workbook for example. Anyway you can send me your PDF sample report thru the builtin IM in the forum where you can find my regular e-mail.
    Best regards, Beat.

    Hi Beat,

    This solution exports the BOM report to Excel at the push of a button.

    I'll email the PDF now.

    I'm looking for the exact same thing and my IT department hasn't been much help.  I'm looking for a more user friendly BOM I can filter in Excel.  My email address is ejspialek@rotex.com  Please send me your sample so I can check out your solution to see if it fits my needs.  Thank you in advance!

    Greg, I am also looking for the same report.  If you would send me the PDF also I would appreciate it.  My email is gmorley@comcast.net.

    Thanks,

    Hi Ed & GDM,

    Greg's PDF won't help you much... What Greg is offering is an application that installs on a client's PC and allows to build a BOM report from a GP item... This goes a few years back now and I don't remember exactly how it worked, but I didn't used that.

    Instead I created my own stored procedure in SQL to return a multi-level BOM based on a series of parameters that the SP needed to identify the ItemNumber, the BOM Type, the BOM Name and another I forgot about.

    The SP can be used with almost any reporting solution (Excel, SSRS, Crystal), but I used it in Excel and took advantage of the built-in conditional formatting for the level indicators.

    If you would like to get more details on the SQL SP, let me know.

    Have a nice day,

    We are having the same problem trying to export multi-level BOM's to Excel. Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    I have created a series of SQL views, later one progressively dependent on previous view.  Finally used SSRS to export out  multi level BOM's to excel, which largely have worked for me.  Shall post the SQL View script shortly may be it can help you to...

    Cheers!
