Overview

Yes — on both Assembly and Disassembly Order forms, the Bill of Materials field is a live search that works independently of the Select SKU field. You can type a BOM name first; Luminous will then resolve which SKU(s) to use.

How BOM-first selection works

BOM linked to a single SKU

  1. On the Create Assembly Order form, type the BOM name into the Bill of Materials search box.
  2. Select the BOM from the dropdown.
  3. Luminous automatically loads the linked SKU into the Select SKU field — no manual SKU search required.

BOM linked to multiple SKUs

  1. Select the BOM from the Bill of Materials search box.
  2. The Select SKU dropdown is narrowed to show only the SKUs attached to that BOM.
  3. Choose the specific SKU you want to build.

BOM with no available SKU

If all SKUs on a BOM are discontinued or archived, Luminous shows a message: "This BOM has no SKU available to build. Pick another BOM or a SKU directly."

Changing the BOM on an existing Draft order

If you edit a Draft Assembly Order and select a different BOM, Luminous will show a confirmation dialog before applying the change. Confirming will recompose the component lines and extra costs based on the new BOM. This cannot be undone without manually re-selecting the previous BOM.

Starting from the SKU instead

The traditional SKU-first flow still works: search for the finished-goods SKU first, and the Bill of Materials dropdown will show the BOMs attached to that SKU.
