The purpose of this panel is to define the material in the structure. The structure information is displayed in sequence number order. Note: If a BOM id is attached to the structure header then extra validation is made to check if it is allowed to change material lines.
Options
| Lower level material | Select this option to maintain lower level material of the component. This option is only allowed for items with item type 1, 2 or 8. |
| Lower level operation | Select this option to maintain lower level operations of the component. This option is only allowed for items with item type 1, 2 or 8. |
| Purchase | Select this option to create a purchase requisition. This option is only allowed for items with item type 3 or 4. |
| Text | Select this option to add extended material text description. |
| Where used | Select this option to find out where the component item is used. |
Note: These options are only displayed when in change mode.
Function keys
| Alt product | Maintain alternative/co-products for this component item. |
| Add | Add a new bill of material information. |
| Operations | Maintain operations for this level. |
| Previous level | Only used if you are maintaining lower level material.
Return to the previous material level. |
| Seq renumbering | Renumber the sequence numbers.
This is useful if you e.g., have chosen the material numbers to be in sequence of 10 and you have added a material, between two existing ones, with a temporary number. This function will replace the temporary number with the appropriate number within the sequence. Note: Sequence renumbering is not allowed when a structure is attached to a master BOM. |
| Add detail | Add a component with detailed information. |
- Item
- Warehouse
- Structure unit
- The structure unit of the item. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- Variant
- Structure quantity
- Seq no
- Component
- The item which is included as a component in the bill of material.
- Var
- The component variant. If the incoming component is already stored in different variants, i.e. the incoming bill of material and/or bill of routing differs from the basic structure, this variant will be stated here.
- 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.
- Unit
- This column could display one of the following:
- The structure unit for the line if Structure unit has been used. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- If a structure unit has not been used, the stock unit for the component from the Item file.
- First op no
- The first operation number in use. This is used for dividing the material list into different sets of picking lists. If this information is used the item is reserved for production purposes, i.e. for the starting time of this operation instead of the starting time of the manufacturing order.
- Text
- Indicates if texts are connected to the material line. If text exists under a material line this information will be copied to manufacturing order at creation.
- Item type
- The code indicates the item type.
- Phantom
- 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.
- BOM
- Indicates if the component has been created from a master BOM.
- Component description
- Indicates if the component has been created from a master BOM.
- Valid from date
- Indicates the from date denoting the period from which an item is to be included as a component in a bill of material for manufacturing orders. This Valid from/to dates are validated at creation time of the order.
- Valid to date
- Indicates the to date denoting the period to which an item is to be included as a component in a bill of material for manufacturing orders. The Valid from/to dates are validated at creation time of the order.
- Position number
- Indicates the position number for the component item, and can be used in the shop floor printout to print the manufacturing order bill of material in position number order.
- Waste percentage
- Indicates the percentage which denotes 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.
- Floor stock code
- Indicates if material connected to manufacturing orders will be backflushed. If a value is displayed it will override the floor stock code that was entered in the Item file.
- Allocation warehouse
- This column is only displayed if Main whs mtrl alloc is set to YES in the MFG control file. Indicates the warehouse in which the item is stored.
- MRP break
- Indicates if the material explosion of this item should be stopped during the MRP-run. This code is only used for item type 1 or 2.
- Main material
- Indicates 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.
- Re-usable
- This column 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.
