Thanks

    in process manufacturing / batch orders, we always use this field to indicate order in which ingredients need to be added to the batch.

    The position number is referring to the position number in an assembly drawing. So, workers can use this information to see where the item number is used in for example in a machine assembly.

    Hello MahGah,

    This should represent the position of the BOM line item. This is just for classifying the raw materials position I believe. So, you could have position 1, 2....
