Overview

What it does:-Disables a BOM to mark it inactive while preserving historical versions and audit trails-Permanently deletes a BOM when it has no linked Work Orders, ensuring your BOM list remains clean and relevant
Prerequisites
  • The BOM you want to remove appears under Manufacturing > Bill of Materials > BOM List
  • No active Work Orders or pending production runs rely on this BOM
  • You understand the difference between “disabling” (soft delete) and “deleting” (hard delete)

​
1.0 Disable (Soft Delete)

Disabling a BOM makes it inactive but preserves its record and version history. Use this approach when you may need to reference the BOM later for audits or reports.
  1. Navigate to Manufacturing > Bill of Materials > BOM List.
  2. Search or filter to locate the BOM (e.g., BOM No. = “BOM-Bottled Water-001”).
  3. Click the BOM’s name to open its detail view.
  4. Click Actions > Edit (if not already in edit mode).
  5. In the header, check the Disabled checkbox.
  6. Click Save.
The BOM status changes to Disabled. It no longer appears in “Active BOM” dropdowns or is selectable when creating new Work Orders, but remains available under the “Disabled” filter for historical reference.

​
1.1 Delete Permanently (Hard Delete)

Permanently deleting a BOM removes it entirely from the system. You can only do this if the BOM has no linked or submitted Work Orders, Material Requests, or other dependencies.
Hard deleting a BOM erases its data and version history. Ensure you have no pending transactions tied to this BOM before proceeding.
  1. Confirm there are no dependent Work Orders:
    • Navigate to Manufacturing > Work Order List and filter by BOM = [Your BOM Name].
    • If any Work Orders appear, cancel or reassign them before proceeding.
  2. Go back to Manufacturing > Bill of Materials > BOM List.
  3. Locate and open the BOM you intend to delete.
  4. Click Actions > Delete in the top-right corner.
  5. When prompted, confirm the deletion.
The BOM record is permanently removed from the database. It no longer appears in any BOM dropdowns, lists, or reports.
Deleting a BOM in the CGIC App—whether by disabling it or permanently erasing it—helps keep your manufacturing definitions accurate and relevant. By following these steps, you ensure that only current, valid BOMs remain available for production, while historical versions are retained (if disabled) or removed (if fully obsolete).
