Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM (tiedm2115m000)

Use this session to maintain the use-up materials and alternative materials for the materials in an engineering BOM (E-BOM) .

To change the priority of an alternative material, select the alternative-material line and click Move Priority Up or Move Priority Down

Engineering Item
An item in the process of development.

You can define multiple revisions of an engineering item. Typically, the most recent revisions are still in a design or test phase, another revision may have been taken into production, and older revisions are obsolete.

A normal item can only become revision-controlled when it is copied from the Engineering Data Management module.

Engineering Item Revision
The engineering item's revision.
Status
The status of the revision.
Unit
The physical quantity in which an item or good is managed. For example, a quantity of wood can be expressed as a length by using the unit of one meter, or as a volume by using the unit of one cubic meter.
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

 

EBOM Position
The position number of the EBOM line.

This is equivalent to the position number of a PBOM, except there is no sequence number. A sequence number defines items that are valid on different dates. Revisions can carry out that (of defining items that are valid on different dates) function for engineering items.

Component
The component of the engineering item (E-item) revision. The component can be either an E-item or a standard item.
Position
Identification of the alternative-material record.
Alternative Priority
The alternative priority determines which of the alternatives LN will select first.

Allowed values

  • Use up
    This is an outdated material ( use-up material) that must be used up first.
  • 1
    The alternative that will be selected if the inventory of the standard material (and the use-up material, if any) is insufficient.
  • 2
    The alternative that will be selected if the inventory of the standard material and the first alternative material (and the use-up material, if any) is insufficient.
  • 3, 4, 5, ...
    Lower priority alternative materials.
  • 9
    The lowest priority alternative material.

Related topics

Alt. Component Type
The alternative material's component type ( Item or E-Item).
Alternative Item
The alternative material.
Note

You can select a non-configurable item only as an alternative.

 

Move Priority Up
Moves the selected alternative-material line to the next higher priority.
Move Priority Down
Moves the selected alternative-material line to the next lower priority.
