# Bill Of Material Centre Fields

Bill of Material Centre house all the BOMs created in the system, including the various BOM revisions. It streamlines the management and navigation of Bill of Materials (BOMs) through customizable search criteria and intuitive interface features. Let's have a look at the key fields and options available within this centre.

### Header Level Options

The **Header Level Options** in the Bill of Material Centre provide quick access to commonly used actions for managing and maintaining BOM records in bulk.

* **Print**\
  Allows users to print the selected Bill of Materials for documentation, review, or offline reference.
* **Batch Delete**\
  Enables deletion of multiple selected BOMs at once.\
  Only BOMs that have not been used in any Manufacturing Order can be deleted.
* **Batch Update BOM JSON**\
  Allows users to update the underlying BOM JSON structure for multiple selected BOMs simultaneously. This option is typically used for advanced corrections, configuration adjustments, or data alignment across multiple BOM records.
* **Batch Updates**\
  Enables bulk updates of common BOM fields across selected records. This option is used to apply consistent changes to multiple BOMs in a single operation, reducing manual effort and ensuring data consistency.

### Context View (Right-click) Options

* **Open:** Allows you to view the BOM details in a read-only mode.
* **Delete:** Deletes the BOM.
* **Edit in new window:** Opens the BOM details in a new window for viewing and editing without leaving the main Bill of Materials Centre page.

### Header Search Fields

The Bill of Material Centre provides users with multiple search criteria options to filter and locate specific BOMs efficiently.

* **Show Active Only:** Enable this option to only view the BOMs that are marked as "Active".
* **Search By:** This dropdown option allows you to view the result by "Bill Of Material" or "**Bill Of Material Lines"**.
* **Item#:** This allows you to search and filter the results by BOM item name.
* **Description:** This allows you to search and filter the results by BOM item description.
* **Include Revisions:** Enable this option to view all the BOM revisions in the search results.
* **Show Latest Revision:** Enable this option only show the latest BOM revisions in the centre.

### Header Level Icons

These features cater to diverse needs, providing users with a seamless experience while navigating and managing customer information.

* **Refresh:** This functionality empowers users to refresh search results based on selected criteria, ensuring that the displayed information is always up-to-date.
* **Save:** Save feature enables users to preserve any updated user interface (UI) settings, ensuring a personalized and consistent experience during future interactions with the module.
* &#x20;**Advanced Search:** The Advanced Search option elevates customer information retrieval to a sophisticated level. Users can delve into a nuanced search by specifying criteria such as Column Name, Operator, and Value, facilitating precise and tailored searches.
* **Columns:** All the columns available for the module are listed under this icon. You can use this option to hide or add the columns and tailor the module view as per your requirements. The options in the dropdown change as per the selected option in the **Search By Field.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xorosoft.com/xoroerp-1/manufacturing/bill-of-material/bill-of-material-centre-fields.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
