The purpose of this program is to create or maintain master structure information.
- BOM id
- The code that identifies the Master BOM, and the description.
- Structure quantity
- In add mode, this field is defaulted with 1. If the Master BOM has already been used in the structure header, this field is output only.
Enter/change the structure quantity. This quantity indicates the relationship between the structure quantity and the component quantities/operation times.
The structure quantity can be used to adjust the operation times in order to avoid short times in the bill of routing.
If the structure quantity is changed, meaning that the component quantity is also changed, then the run, labour and machine time must be adjusted accordingly.
- Structure unit
- The structure unit of the item. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- Sequence number
- The sequence number that is registered in intervals of 10 indicates the order in which the structure lines are displayed.
- Component item
- The item that is included as a component in the bill of material.
- Quantity
- The quantity in stock unit, displayed in up to 3 decimal places, of components included in the bill of material. The quantity field can be both positive and negative. If it is 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
- The percentage indicates how many extra items must be produced due to production waste. The value is used to re-calculate the structure amounts during the reservation and picking for the manufacturing order.
- Allocation warehouse
- This field is only displayed if the Main whs mtrl alloc field is set to YES in the MFG control file. The warehouse in which the item is stored.
- 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 in the 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 the Direct pur to m-order field 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 the Direct pur to m-order field 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 the Direct pur to m-ord field 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 the Direct pur to m-ord field is set to YES in the MFG control file and the component is a fictitious item. Enter the purchase price unit for the component.
- Re-usable
- This field is only displayed if the Re-usable material field 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.
