| Unit effectivity in EDMTo use unit effectivity when engineering an item, carry out
the following steps: - Define the engineering bill of material (EBOM) in the Engineering BOM (tiedm1110m000) session. To link exceptions to a BOM line, select the
BOM line and click Exceptions from the appropriate menu. The Exceptions (tcuef0105m000) session is started. If the end item is already
defined, you can use effectivity units of the end item. Otherwise, use
effectivity units of engineering items.
- The purpose of exceptions in an EBOM is to engineer a generic
design. This means that when the design is finished, all exceptions must be
copied to the PBOM. Use the Copy Engineering BOM session to copy the EBOM and
its linked exceptions to the PBOM. During the copy process, LN provides the user with
the possibility to replace the engineering item in the item – effectivity
series with a general end item. To do so, LN starts the Relink Item - Effectivity Series (tcuef0201m000) session.
- At a certain point of time, a general end item must be defined.
This is the item that is used on the sales order line. For reasons of
clearness, you must link the item – effectivity series that is still linked to
the engineering item to the end item. Use the Relink Item - Effectivity Series (tcuef0201m000) session to relink the effectivity
series from the engineering item to the end item. You can start this session
from the appropriate menu
in the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session.
Finalizing Engineering Data If you copy an E-BOM to a PBOM by using the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session, LN proceeds as follows.
If the Unit Effective Supply check box in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session is selected for the end item, LN does not copy the effectivity statements. | |
