Planning - Generic BOM (cprpd3140m000)

Use this session to to generate a generic BOM for a configurable item.

Note

The generic BOMs generated in this session are used only for planning purposes.

The PCM Configurator Integration check box must be selected to use this session.

 

Main Item

The plan item that the planned order produces.

Item Type

The type of the main item.

Allowed values

item type

Default Supply Source

The default value for the Default Supply Source field in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.

Allowed values

Source

BOM Quantity

The number of manufactured items to which a bill of materials (BOM) applies. The BOM quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as BOM components.

Example

You need very small amounts of certain colors to mix one liter of a specific paint, Cotton White. Therefore, a BOM quantity of 1000 liter is defined. The component quantities for the paint can then be as follows:

Paint Cotton White, 1000 liter:
White999 liter
Yellow0.6 liter
Red0.2 liter
Blue0.2 liter

 

You must determine the BOM quantity in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.

The BOM quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components. You might want to do this, for example, if you are creating a bill of material for a chemical dilution.

Example

You want to make a millionth part salt dilution. If the dilution's inventory unit is liters, you can specify a BOM for one liter, and a component item of one milligram of salt. However, one milligram could be too small to be measured accurately. It is more practical to specify a bill of material for a BOM quantity of 1000 liters, so the component item will be one gram of salt.

Unit

Unit of measurement, such as meter, kilogram, or piece.

Position

The component's position number.

By default, LN shows the last position number used, plus 10. This procedure provides the sequence 10, 20, 30, and so on. The numbering of positions is unrestricted. For best results, you must use the default values so you can use intermediate numbers to insert components.

The maximum position number of a component item is 9999.

Sequence Number

The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number. You can sometimes influence the numbering by setting the corresponding parameters.

Item

The component item that is part of the manufactured item.

The components must be items of the Purchased item type or the Manufactured item type. The component must be defined in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.

Note

The following items can only be non-configurable items:

  • Main item

  • Sub item

Item Type

A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item.

Operation

The operation for which operation the material of the BOM line is issued to the shop floor.

  • If you enter zero (0), you can use the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session to determine on which operation the material is issued.
  • If you enter a value other than zero (0), for example, 10, the material is issued at operation 10. This operation applies to all routings that are defined for the manufactured item. If the operation does not exist for the manufactured item's routing(s), the BOM line material is issued at the first operation of the routing.
Note

To avoid entering the code of a nonexistent operation, you are advised use the zoom function for this field and select an operation from the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Material for multiple operations.

Warehouse

The warehouse where the component is stored and where the allocation for a production order is made.

Note

If the component is a phantom, and you select the Inherit Warehouse if Parent Item is a Phantom check box, LN allocates the requirement for the component in the warehouse of the component's parent item.

Planning Quantity

The planning quantity of a component in a generic bill of material is used in the Enterprise Planning calculation when determining the average requirements for this component, as a result of planned orders for generic items on a higher level in the generic product structure.

The Enterprise Planning calculation will incorporate this planning quantity (multiplied by the planning percentage) as the net requirement for the production of the generic manufactured item. The exact material requirements are not known during the Enterprise Planning calculation, because there is no customer for the generic item in this planning phase. As a result, a specific product variant has not yet been selected.

Planning Percentage

The planning percentage serves to perform a Enterprise Planning calculation, as does the Planning Quantity field.

Effective Date

The first date on which the relevant standard cost price takes effect.

Expiry Date

The effective date and expiry date determine the validity period for the component. The expiry date indicates when the component can no longer be used in the manufactured item.

By using the effective date and expiry dates, LN can save historical data about the structure of a product without this data affecting production.

If the production date for the item falls outside the validity period, LN will not allocate any inventory or material requirements for the component.

The latest possible expiry date is 19 January, 2038. If you do not enter an expiry date, LN automatically sets the expiry date to 01/19/38.

Phantom

If the component item is defined as a phantom in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session, LN will select this check box. You can override that value here.

You can use phantom items to record technical information about the product structure or to carry out cost-price calculations.

Note

If the component item is a phantom, you cannot define alternative materials.

A subcontracted (checkbox in Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session) phantom component item is not supported.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Phantoms.

Use Lead Time Offset

If this check box is selected, you can specify the lead-time offset.

Lead Time Offset

This field is only used by Enterprise Planning. When a generic item is planned, the start date of an operation is calculated by offsetting the requirement date of the generic item with the lead time offset. The finish date of the operation is determined by adding the planned production time. The planning percentage is used to determine the required work center capacity.
