|---|---|---|
| Cannot edit | BOM not draft | Use New version, then edit the draft |
| API Only draft bills of materials can be edited… | Same | Revise → edit → activate |
| WO create: must be active… | BOM still draft/archived | Activate the BOM |
| has no component lines | Empty lines on create/use | Add components |
| Edit toast Only draft BOMs can be edited… | UI guard | Revise first |
| Explode looks wrong | Scrap % / multi-level depth | Check scrap and nested active default BOMs |
