Creating Standard Networks

In this lesson you can learn about the creation of standard networks and the main differences between standard and operative networks.

You cannot assign materials directly to a standard network; you assign them indirectly by using bills of material (BOMs). The BOM in question can be either a material or a standard BOM. A standard BOM does not have a "header component"; it is a tool used only to assign material components to a standard network. It is created and edited directly in the standard network. In the second step, the individual BOM items (materials) are assigned to the activities of the standard network. Phantom assemblies are exploded at several levels so the individual materials can be assigned to the network activities.
