EBOM and PBOM Consistency (tiedm1520m000)

Use this session to display the differences between engineering bills of material (EBOMs) and production bills of material (PBOMs). The differences are created by changes that are applied after the EBOM is copied to a PBOM.

Note

You must finalize the copying of the EBOM to a PBOM before you run this session.

Engineering Item
The parent engineering item of the EBOM that you copied.
E-Item Revision
The engineering item revision which is the parent of the EBOM that you copied.

To enter a revision, click the Find Record button.

Main Item
The standard or customized production BOM's parent item to which the line of the EBOM has been copied.

To enter a new production BOM parent item, click the Find Record button.

Position Number
The BOM position number
Copy Method
The method by which the data was copied.

Allowed values

EBOM copy method

(E)BOM Quantity
The BOM quantity of the parent item.

The EBOM quantity is used in the same way as the BOM quantity for a production BOM. You can use this to specify small quantities as BOM components. If you are specifying a BOM for a dilute chemical solution, you will want to do this.

Suppose you want to make a one part per million salt solution. If the inventory unit of your solution is in liters and you therefore specify a BOM for one liter, the component item will be one milligram of salt, which is too small to be measured accurately. It is more practical to specify a BOM for a BOM quantity of 1000 liters. Thus the component will be one gram of salt.

Note

A BOM quantity was previously called a BOM unit.

On Copying
The component of the EBOM line at the time of copying.
On Copying
The component type.

Allowed values

  • E-Item
  • Item
Engineering BOM
The component in the EBOM line.
Engineering BOM
The type of the component in the EBOM line.

Allowed values

  • E-Item
  • Item
Production BOM
The component item in the production BOM.
Length
The length of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.
Note
Length can also be
			 used to calculate
			 Net Quantity:
Net Quantity =
			 Length x
			 Width x
			 Number of Units
Width
The width of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.
Width can also be
			 used to calculate
			 Net Quantity:
			 Net Quantity =
			 Length x
			 Width x
			 Number of Units

Number of Units
The number of units of the item in the EBOM or PBOM at the time of copying. This is equal to the number of units in the length or area.
Net Quantity
The net quantity of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.

The net quantity is the number of times the component occurs in the EBOM or PBOM.

			 Net Quantity = (Length x BOM
			 Conversion Factor) x (Width x BOM
			 Conversion Factor) x
			 Number of Units /
			 Conversion Factor
Note
  • If the component has no Width, the value of ( Width x BOM Conversion Factor) is left out of the formula.
  • You can define conversion factors in the Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000) session. LN uses the conversion factor which is applicable to the units of the item or E-item.
  • BOM Conversion Factor is the conversion factor from the base unit to the BOM quantity. This is derived from the BOM Unit of Measure.
Extra Information
The short text present in the EBOM or PBOM.
To Item
The component of the production BOM line to which the line from the EBOM is copied.
To Position
The position or line number of the production BOM to which the line of the EBOM is copied.
Exceptions Changed
If this check box is selected, the exceptions in the EBOM compared to the production BOM are different.
