30Jul2014 BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: What is the bubble number and how do I maintain it? Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Read more The bubble number is maintained at the component level for each component defined on the Bill of Material. It is an extra user-defined reference number that you can use to re-sequence the maintenance screen display or bills of material listings. In Infor LX, the system displays the bubble number for the existing child items. Engineering drawings often use a bubble number at the component level on the drawing so that same bubble number can be used on the Bill of Material for a link of the component to the drawing. Alternatively, you may use it simply as a method to sequence the BOM. Be careful of how you assign the number.
