Sage 200:Bill of Materials Items
All of the following functionality requires the PostTrans Manufacturing Module.
PostTrans imports Bill of Materials Items, which could be manually entered with the assistance of in-cell
searching, using copy and paste,
imported from CSV file or extracted from
Sage 200 using the Extract button.
Extract/Import Sage 200 Bill of Materials Items
Explanation of this type of Import
This sheet allows the user to extract/create Bill of Materials (BOM) Item records, the child of BOM Records, which populates the “Components” and “Operations” Tabs of Sage 200 BOM window. The lines are assigned types, for the types of Components and Operations:
- CO,Component
- SB,Subassembly
- PH,Phantom
- CC,CompComment - Comment
- CS,CompCommentShow – Comment with ‘Show comment line in ‘enquires/reports’ ticked
- CD,CompDoc – Document, press Space + Tab in SiRef column to select file
- OP,Operation
- OC,OpComment - Comment
- OS,OpCommentShow – Comment with ‘Show comment line in ‘enquires/reports’ ticked
- OD,OpDoc – Document, press Space + Tab in SiRef column to select file
The SiParent Column should have the BOM code in it, which each item belongs to.
The In-Cell Searching in this sheet is of great help. To add an item to an extracted build you only need insert a line and enter the component ref in the SiRef column. PostTrans will by default assume it is a Component to search for. Having selected a component, it will set SiParent to the same ref as line above, scan for the next appropriate sequence number, and fill in type (SiType) “CO,Component”. The user then can enter the Qty for the BOM item.
If the user wishes to enter a Subassembly, then SiType is set to SB,Subassembly, then the search in SiRef will search just for Subassemblies.
To speed up data entry. Entering “,” in SiRef, before the Subassembly code, will force the line to be a Subassembly. SiType will be set to SB,Subassembly automatically.
These short cuts can be accessed in Setup
BOM Options in Setup window
Items can be deleted from a BOM by entering an X in the SiCommand column, and pressing Import button.
Version Control
If version control is turned ON then multiple version will be listed. The extraction process will allow the user to filter the BOM records by version status New, Active, Obsolete, Retired, Hidden or get the latest version.
A new version can be created by entering following values in the SiCommand column:
- X,Delete BOM line,
- N,New Version,
- A,Activate Version,
- C,Create Empty and Activate,
- R,Retire
Care must be taken
When BOM components are extracted the column SiID is populated with the BOM Component Line ID. This is then used by PostTrans to update any edits to the same Component/Operation Line within the BOM. Thus any part of the line can be edited. If the SiID does not relate to the current BOM then it is ignored and treated as a new line in BOM, and thus added to BOM.
If SiID is empty PostTrans will create a new item within the BOM.
Important
The BOM Components must be in BOM Code (SiParent) order. If you extract the BOM, and then sort into different order, you need to put back to BOM Code order before import.

Watch the On-line Training course on how to use and customise the templates.
Apart from column A these fields can be rearranged, hidden, and more columns mapped by using the Tags button to insert new tags. See 'Template Structure' section below.
Template Structure for Static Data
The template must have tag ‘Sage200manBOMitem’ in cell A1 to instruct PostTrans that we are interested in
Sage 200 Bill of Materials Items, and that the sheet is a PostTrans Template.
Pressing Import or Extract on a blank sheet will either open an existing
example or create basic template for you to customise.
Row 1 contains a series of tags, which denote to PostTrans the data to be read/written in each column. These tags, and data columns can be rearranged to
suit your needs, and the tags are added using the Tags button.
See on-line Training
Deleting the Tag name, in the cell, from this row removes the Sage 200
mapping. Table of Bill of Materials Items Tags
Close up of template Sage200manBOMitem for Bill of Materials Items
Hovering over these tags, in row 1, will show a comment which explains the tags purpose, data type and any other useful details.
Common Features
In-Cell Searching
Any Tag ending with ^ with have a in-cell search facility to look up associated values. Use SPACE + TAB to see all values, or SPACE and
TEXT to perform a text search on description.
These are returned to the cell as "CODE, DESCRIPTION". PostTrans
only uses the CODE and ignores the comma and anything after it, thus data from a field
would only need the CODE part of the data if from an external imported
file.
In-cell Searching can be turned off by removing the ^ from the end of the tag name, or name in first line of comment (Header cells) to disable in-cell searching for a single column, or header cell.
All in-cell searching can be turned off in Setup. In-cell
searching.
Extracting the Data
The data extracted using the Extract button can be filtered, by entering criteria in row 2. Hover over cell A2 for instructions.
Extracting Data
In addition to this some sheets have a SiSearch tag/column. In this case the user can paste a list of codes in column, and press Extract button, to extract those records to the sheet. Entering a single code in this column will extract a single record.
Amending Bill of Materials Items Data
Having extracted data, the user can now simply edit the Bill of Materials Items in Microsoft Excel, before re-importing it back into
Sage 200.
PostTrans uses the tagged column SiCRC to detect changes in rows.
Therefore,
only records/rows which have changed since extraction are updated. If
you add or delete a tagged column, PostTrans will treat ALL rows as having
changed, and thus ALL records will be updated on next Import.
Importing the Data
Simply press the Import button to validate and import the data into
Sage 200.
PostTrans will read the Header cells and then process the rows of data until SiParent
column contains no data. The Sage Company imported into can be set in the Setup window.
PostTrans ONLY edits those fields listed on the sheet when importing, thus
any existing values, on a record, are unaffected. New records may
have default values for certain fields.
File Import Button
This can be enabled in Setup to easily import cvs, or fixed length files, into sheet for importation. Formula can also be added, or macros/VBA
to manipulate this data before importation. Import from CSV file.
Validation
Any values and associated codes will be invalid during import.
The cursor will be moved to highlight any problems in data.
Evaluation and License
This functionality will work with Sage Demo data without a license. A license is required to import into any other Sage Company.
