How to Create a Production Job Order Using Multi - level BOM?
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the complete process of creating job orders using a multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM). You will learn how multi-level BOMs streamline production, improve material planning, and automatically generate linked sub–job orders for all semi-finished and raw material requirements.
View the Multi-Level BOM Structure
Navigate to Item + Process → Raw Material Specs → Grade Mode.
Here you can see the multi-level Bill of Materials created for the selected item.
The left panel displays the entire BOM hierarchy in a tree format, showing:
The finished product
All semi-finished components
Their respective production stages
Benefits of Multi-Level BOM
Automatically links the main job order with all sub job orders
Ensures accurate material planning
Provides seamless production tracking across all levels
Improves consumption control and costing accuracy
Creating a Standard Job Order
Select Party Type
Choose whether the job is to be completed by:
An Internal Worker, or
An External Party
Create the Job Order
Select the Worker Name
Enter the Item to be Produced
Specify the Quantity
Save the job order
Creating a Job Order Using a Multi-Level BOM
Open the Multi-Level Job Order Module
Go to Create Job Orders from Sale Order / Job Order BOM Definition
Open the Configuration screen
Set General Setting for Job Order Creation
Define Create JO From:
Select the job order as the source
Define Auto Pick JO Party As:
Choose Supplier + Items for automated selection
Configure Other Settings for Multi-Level BOM
Adjust additional settings in Other Settings
Enable required options for multi-level execution
Since the job order is created from an existing one, the system will not create another master job order for the same finished item
Linking Supplier with Items (Supplier + Item Linking)
Link the Supplier
Select the Supplier
Choose the Items to be linked
The system now knows which supplier is responsible for which item
Generate Multi-Level Job Orders
Select the Base Job Order
Click Select Job Order
Choose the existing job order from the list
View the Job Order Hierarchy
The Job Orders Against Finished Items section displays the main job order
Selecting it shows:
Full production details
Semi-finished stage breakdown
Raw material dependencies
View Auto-Generated Sub Job Orders & Party Auto-Selection
The Job Orders Against Raw Material Items section lists all sub job orders automatically generated from the multi-level BOM
These represent:
Raw materials
Semi-finished components
Since we selected Supplier + Items and performed linking:
The system automatically picks the correct party for each sub job order
You may view and edit details of each item in the bottom section
Save the Job Order
Review all details carefully
Click Save to complete the multi-level job order creation process
Reviewing the Pending Job Order Report
Apply Filters
Open the Pending Job Order Report
Use filters such as:
Job Order Number
Master Job Order
View Linked Job Orders
Applying the Master Job Order filter shows:
The main job order
All associated sub job orders
This filter can also be used in other production reports for consolidated tracking
Conclusion
Using a multi-level Bill of Materials in Logic ERP enables automated sub-job order creation, structured production planning, and accurate consumption tracking. With proper configuration and supplier-item linking, the system ensures a seamless, efficient workflow across all production levels.
