Approve some components when approving a Bill of Materials
When approving a Bill of Materials, retailers are now able to approve some of the components and rejected the others, instead of approving or rejecting all.
To approve some components in the Bill of Materials, go to the ‘Approve Bill of Materials’ task in your task page, click on the ‘complete’ button and select the ‘rejected’ (red ‘x’) verdict.
The ‘Bill of Materials’ approval popup will expand and show you a list of all the components in your Bill of Materials organised by tier:
Select a verdict for each component, accept the risks and click ‘next’ to continue
After you click next, you will see a list of all the rejected components. Add a rejection reason and comment for each of the components, so that your supplier knows why each component was rejected and can amend them.
Click ‘next’ when you’re done.
To finalise the rejection, select a rejection reason for the Bill of Materials as a whole, add comments and attachments if needed and select the new due date
After you click ‘Complete’, the Bill of Materials will be rejected together with the components that had a verdict of ‘rejected’.
The ‘Approve Bill of Materials’ task will be completed.
The Bill of Material’s overall rejection reason and comments will be displayed under the brief and on the approval history (where it was previously displayed).
The components rejection reasons and comments will be displayed in the ‘Approval History’ tab of the BOM. These will be divided per round:
The users can expand each round to see the rejection reasons and comments per component.
Please note, the component’s rejection reason and comments will only be displayed in the BOM’s approval history, not in the component’s approval history. This is because the reason could be specific to the BOM and not to the component itself.
After the BOM is rejected by the retailer:
- A new ‘Complete BOM’ loopback task will be kicked off and assigned to the product supplier user that submitted the BOM, as per current functionality
- The status of the BOM will change to ‘in progress’
- All rejected components in the BOM must be re-submitted and re-approved before the BOM can be re-submitted to the retailer.
- For the rejected components:
- The status of the components will change to ‘in progress’
- A new ‘Complete Component’ loopback task will be kicked off and assigned to the product supplier user that submitted the BOM
- For the approved components:
- The status of the components will change to ‘Active’
- The components will be locked and cannot be edited
Any attachments added to the rejection modal will be saved on the documentation tab of the BOM.
- The document classification will be ‘BOM Rejection’
