# What's New in Manufacturing: Streamline Product Design (2025 release wave 1)

> Production BOM usability changes in Business Central 2025 release wave 1: document attachments, active version access with a comparison matrix, subassembly display levels, version list with date and status, bulk item selection, Edit in Excel, certification prompt on close, and BOM navigation from the item card.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giNi8WtCX_s) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2025-04-01 · 2:24 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

This 2-minute video from the Business Central channel (published 2025-04-01) covers enhancements to the production bill of material in manufacturing. It describes changes to how BOMs and their versions are viewed, edited and certified.

The demo covers attaching documents to a BOM, opening the active version through the assist edit button, comparing versions, choosing how subassemblies are displayed, editing versions in bulk, and moving from an item card to the main or certified BOM. Feature status is not stated in the facts.

## Key points

- Production BOMs can have document attachments, for example drawings, specifications or materials needed.
- The assist edit button opens the active version of a production BOM. A new version comparison matrix shows the main BOM and the available versions.
- Option levels control whether subassemblies show as whole subassemblies or as their individual components.
- The version list page shows the starting date and status of each BOM version.
- When editing a version, you can edit as usual or use the Select items action to pick multiple items at once, then make sure quantities are updated.
- For large BOMs, the video suggests using Edit in Excel.
- Starting from this release, closing a version page whose status is not certified shows a confirmation dialog.
