Bill of materials

A bill of materials (or BoM for short) documents specific components, along with their respective quantities, that are needed to produce or repair a product. In MAQSU, BoMs serve as blueprints for manufactured goods and kits, and often include production operations and step-by-step guidelines, as well.

BoM Setup

2. Reference (Optional) – Enter an internal reference number or note to help identify this invoice. This is useful for linking the invoice to a sales order or project.
3. Invoice Date – The date the invoice is issued. This defaults to today's date but can be adjusted.
4. Doc. No. – Automatically generated by the system after saving. You do not need to fill this in manually.
5. Payment Terms – Select the agreed payment timeframe or conditions (e.g., 15 Days, Due on Receipt). This determines the due date shown on the invoice. Let's see how to setup Payment Terms
6. Journal – The accounting journal where the invoice will be posted. This defaults to Customer Invoices (USD). Let's see how to setup Journals
7. Pricelist (Optional) – Select a pricelist to automatically apply special pricing or discounts for the customer. The selected pricelist will update product prices on the invoice lines accordingly.

Once you fill in the customer and other header details, the form will update to show the entered information.
