The purpose of this program is to maintain bill of material details. Note: If a BOM id is attached to the structure header and the component has been created from a Master BOM, then only the Quantity and Set-up quantity fields are allowed to be maintained.
- Item
- Warehouse
-
If the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) function is activated in the Function control file, the warehouse entered must be classified as a normal or trade (logical) warehouse (i.e. the Warehouse characteristic flag in Work with warehouses must be set to 1 (normal) or 2 (trade). See About the stock ownership functionality for more information.
- Structure unit
- The structure unit of the item. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- Variant
- Structure quantity
- Sequence number
- Component Item
- The item that is included as a component in the bill of material.
- Quantity
- The quantity in stock unit, in up to 3 decimal places, of components included in the bill of material. The quantity field can be both positive and negative. If negative, the material is handled as a by-product in the system.
- Set-up quantity
- Optional entry. Enter the fixed set-up quantity for materials. This set-up quantity can be deemed as an estimated reservation that you plan on consuming for the machine set-up before real production, and is independent of the order’s quantity. When manufacturing orders are entered, the components required quantity is calculated as follows: order quantity x component quantity + fixed set-up quantity.
Example:
Fixed set-up quantity = 10
Order quantity = 5
Component quantity = 1
Component required quantity = 15
- Operation number
- The first operation number in use. If this information is used the item is reserved for production purposes, for the starting time of this operation instead of the starting time of the production order.
- Valid from
- Enter the from/to dates indicating the period during which an item is to be included as a component in a bill of material for manufacturing orders. These are validated at creation time of the order.
- Component unit
- The unit in which the component is defined. If this optional field is left blank, the item will use the component stock unit.
- Position number
- The position number for the component item. This field can be used in the shop floor printout to print the manufacturing order bill of material in position number order.
- Waste percentage
- Allocation warehouse
- This field is only displayed if Main whs mtrl alloc is set to YES in the MFG control file.
- Floor stock code
- The floor stock code indicates if material connected to manufacturing orders will be backflushed. If a value is entered it will override the floor stock code that was entered in the Item file.
- MRP break
- Indicates if the material explosion of this item should be stopped MRP-run. This code is only used for item type 1 or 2.
- Phantom item
- Indicates if the item should be handled as a phantom item in manufacturing orders. This means that material and operations on the phantom item will be moved from lower levels to level 1.
- Main material
- Indicate if the component is the main material of the parent item. When a component is defined as the main material, the manufacturing order header will have the component as the header level information. You can sort manufacturing orders by main material.
- End network
- Indicates if the explosion of the BOM should stop at this level when a manufacturing order network is created. This will allow the use of standard sub-assemblies within a network.
- Description
- This field is only open for input if the component is a fictitious item and Direct pur to m-order is set to YES in the MFG control file. Enter the description for the component. For a non-fictitious item, the program displays the description of the original item.
- Supplier
- This field is only displayed if Direct pur to m-order is set to YES in the MFG control file and the component is a fictitious item. Enter the supplier number for the component.
- Purchase price
- This field is only displayed if Direct pur to m-ord is set to YES in the MFG control file and the component is a fictitious item. Enter the purchase price for the component.
- Price unit
- This field is only displayed if Direct pur to m-ord is set to YES in the MFG control file and the component is a fictitious item. Enter the purchase price unit for the component. See About price unit handling for more information.
- Re-usable
- This field is only displayed if Re-usable material is set to YES in the MFG control file. Indicates if the component is re-usable if scrapped quantity is reported. A proposal is displayed during operation reporting and the user can make a decision whether the item should be put to stock or not.
- Component category 1 – 3
- This field can be used for search in an enquiry function. A special batch program, Component category enq file creation, must be run before enquiries can be made on the category fields.
