Engineering BOM (tiedm1110m000)An EBOM is a bill of material for an engineering item revision. Use this session to display and edit the component parts of the EBOM. The components can be either E-items or production items, such as purchased items or manufactured items.
Engineering Item The code for the engineering item (E-item) for which you want to define a bill of material (BOM). To enter a new E-item, click New or click Find a record. Note The following items can only be non-configurable items:
Description The name of the main (or parent) item. E-Item Revision The engineering item's revision for which you are defining a bill of material (BOM). E-Item Revision The parent or main revision of the E-item for which you are defining a bill of material (BOM). Note Each revision can have a separate EBOM. Status The status of the revision. 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:
Position Number 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 Type The type of the component in the EBOM line. Component The component of the engineering item (E-item) revision. The component can be either an E-item or a standard item. Note
Component Revision If the component is an E-item, LN enters the revision of the E-item that you select which has the status In-design in this field. You can only maintain EBOMs for revisions with the status In-design. StandardConfiguration If this check box is selected, the EBOM line is part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs for the EBOM line are included in the standard cost. If the Standard Configuration check box is cleared, the EBOM line is not part of an item’s standard configuration. The costs for the EBOM line are not included in the standard cost. The Standard Configuration check box in combination with the setting of the Valid check box in the Exceptions (tcuef0105m000) session indicates whether an EBOM line is used for a specific effectivity unit.
Note If the EBOM line has exceptions attached, but you do not want to use the exceptions, for example, for selling spare parts, or for an end item which is not unit-effective, then you can clear this check box. Exceptions Present If this check box is selected, a exception is attached to this EBOM line. You can see that exception by clicking Exceptions in the session. Length The length of the component that is on the EBOM line. Note Length can also be used to calculate Net Quantity: Net Quantity = Length * Width * Number of Units. Size Unit The unit of measurement used. Extra Info You can enter eight characters of text. If you want to enter more text, click Text Editor. Width The width of the component. Note Width can also be used to calculate Net Quantity: Net Quantity = Length * Width * Number of Units. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Number of Units The number of times the component occurs in the EBOM. For a physical item, this is equal to the number of units that are in the length or area you have defined. Note Number of Units can also be used to calculate Net Quantity: Net Quantity = (Length * BOM Conversion Factor) * (Width * BOM Conversion Factor) * Number of Units / Conversion Factor
Net Quantity The quantity of a component or material that is theoretically required to manufacture a certain quantity of a product. This quantity is referred to as the net quantity because in practice you may require more than this quantity to make up for certain losses of material or product during the production process. Note This value must be greater than zero. Quantity Independent If this check box is selected, the E-item's net quantity is copied to update the scrap quantity in the BOM. If this check box is cleared, the E-item's net quantity is copied to update the net quantity of the BOM. Reference Designators Present If this check box is selected, one or more reference designators are present in the Reference Designators by Engineering BOM (tiedm2110m000) session. You cannot modify this check box. To view or maintain reference designators, click Reference Designators by Engineering BOM. Alternatives Present If this check box is selected, one or more alternative materials are present in the Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM (tiedm2115m000) session. You cannot modify this check box. To view or maintain alternative materials, click Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM. Use Up Materials Present If this check box is selected, a use-up material is present in the Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM (tiedm2115m000) session. You cannot modify this check box. To view or maintain alternative materials, click Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM. Allow Multiple Items If this check box is selected, LN can distribute the net quantity of the material over multiple items. For example, the net quantity can be divided over the use-up material and the standard material or over the standard material and one or more alternative materials. If this check box is cleared, LN issues only a single item for this BOM line for one production order. For examples, refer to To distribute a material requirement over multiple materials.
