The purpose of this program is to enquire on bill of material detail information for a specific item material line.
- Item
- Warehouse
- Structure unit
- The structure unit of the item. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- Variant
- Structure quantity
- Change date
- Sequence number
- Component item
- The item which is included as a component in the bill of material.
- Quantity
- The quantity, displayed in up to 3 decimal places, of components included in the bill of material.
- Set-up quantity
- 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
- Used in operation
- Displays the operation number, if any was entered in the equivalent maintenance program, for the production personnel when component(s) should be used in the production process.
If an operation number exists in the Pick in operation field, then the reservation of the component(s) will be made according to the calculated planned issue date for the Pick in operation; else the component(s) will be reserved according to the operation number in this Used in operation field.If both the Pick in operation and Used in operation fields are blank, the component(s) will be reserved according the manufacturing order’s start date.
- Pick in operation
- Displays the operation number, if any was entered in the equivalent maintenance program. If this field contains an operation number, the component(s) is reserved for production purposes for the starting time of this operation.
If this field is blank, the component(s) will be reserved according to what is defined in Used in operation.
If both the Pick in operation and Used in operation fields are blank, the component(s) will be reserved according to the manufacturing order’s start date.
- Valid from
- Displays 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
- Floor stock code
- The floor stock code indicates if material connected to manufacturing orders will be backflushed. This 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. Note: This code is only used for item type 1 or 2.
- Phantom item
- Indicates if material and operations on the phantom item will be moved from lower levels to level 1.
- 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 must 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. Displays 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-ord is set to YES in the MFG control file and the component is a fictitious item. Displays 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. Displays 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. Displays 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.
- Component category 1 – 3
- This fields can be used for search in an enquiry function. A special batch program must be run before enquires can be made on the category fields.
