Copying Routings/BOMs with the Copy Routing/BOM or Engineering Workbench

Enter the appropriate data in the required fields. The From Category you select determines the fields you must enter.

• Job: Enter a valid job number when entering a job number to copy from. If copying to, you can either enter a valid job number, a new job number, or leave it blank and let the system create a new job.
• Sched ID: Enter a valid production schedule ID when entering a production schedule to copy from. If copying to, you can either enter a valid production schedule ID, a new production schedule ID, or leave it blank and let the system create a new production schedule.

• Rework: If the displayed job is a rework order, the Rework field will be selected.

  Note: 

  • If the target job (or estimate job) displayed in the "To" section of the form is a rework order, you can copy a material to the job BOM that is the same as the job's end item. This recursive BOM structure is allowed only for rework jobs.
  • You cannot copy a job structure to a new job if the job BOM contains a sub-job that is a rework order.
  • You cannot copy materials from a rework order to a current BOM.
• Item: Select the item from which to copy the current routing.
• Release: Select the due date of the production schedule release from which to copy the routing/BOM information.
• Revision: Enter the revision number of the item.
• Starting and Ending Operation: Enter the range of operations to copy. The default will be the starting and ending operation numbers from the job, production schedule, or current routing.

• Copy Indented BOM: Default is No. Select Yes to copy the bill of material and create sub-jobs for any current subassembly materials within the BOM that have a Reference of Job.

  Note:  When you first create the sub-jobs in this manner, the Start and End dates on those jobs will be blank. The next time you run APS Planning, the system will populate these dates based on the current plan data. If you are using MRP, you must run Scheduling to populate the blank dates on the sub-jobs.
• Extend by Scrap Factor: Default is No. Select Yes to use the scrap factor displayed on the Current Materials form as the variable for increasing the quantity on sub-jobs (when the Copy BOM field is set to Yes).
• Option: Select a destination for routings and BOMs being copied or accept the default of Insert.
• Labor, Material, or Both: Default is Both. This field is used to further define what portion of the routing to copy.
• After Oper: Enter the operation number after which to insert the new routing.
• Effective: Select a date to copy only non-expired BOMs or accept the default of the current system date.
• Copy to PS Release BOM: Select this check box to copy the production schedule item's routing/BOM to any of the production schedule item's releases that do not have a routing/BOM. If the PS item does not contain a routing/BOM, the item current routing/BOM will be copied to the releases. This field is active only if the To Category is set to PS Item.
