BOM binding
If you have uploaded BOM-lists to your products, you can choose to bind the component reference to your BOM-list. You can choose to make the BOM-binding required, optional or to never bind to BOM-list.
Vendor binding
This options controls if failures added during repair should refer to a vendor of the failed component. Required will force the operator to select one of the vendors in the list before the failure is added. Optional will allow the operator to select from the list, provide a custom value or leave the field empty. Never will hide the Vendor field for the operator.
