Material accumulation mode
This parameter—CUMMAT—controls how components that appear multiple times in the list of components for a work order display.
No accumulation: This is the default value for this parameter. List every individual component of a bill of material (BOM) on a work order. Do not consolidate components that appear multiple times.
Accumulation upon release: Consolidate components that are listed multiple times and the quantities onto a single line when a work order is released.
Accumulation upon tracking: Consolidate components that are listed multiple times and the quantities onto a single line on the work order when the first production activity is recorded. This is referred to as "tracking".
Level of localization / Global variable
This parameter is defined at the level Company. It belongs to Chapter GPA (Manufacturing) and the Group WOM (Work Order management). The following parameters are also associated with this chapter and group:
- CMPUSBCTR (Usable component control)
- MFGREV (Revision management)
- RELSTRDAT (Level on WO start date change)
- RELUPD (Upgrade upon execution)
- TRACKMATWO (Track a WO component change)
- TRACKOPEWO (Track a WO operation change)
The global variable GCUMMAT is associated with this parameter.

Comments
If you need all components to be listed on a work order before the work order is released for production, Sage suggests you leave this parameter with the default value No accumulation.
