Copy BOM Components to Order (tdpur4812s000)

Use this session to copy a bill of material (BOM) to the lines of a purchase order for a specified quantity of a manufactured item. You must also enter a number of phantom levels to skip.

To start the process, enter:

  • The manufactured item.
  • The quantity ordered.
  • The BOM levels. A purchase order line is added for each position in the BOM which has no underlying components. Only those BOM components are copied for which the order date lies between the effective date and the expiry date of the component in question. The item version is also taken into account.

The procedure is illustrated by the following bill of material:

[...]

If you copy the BOM for 4 units of item A, 6 purchase order lines are added to the order:

  • 1 order line with 8 units of item B.
  • 1 order line with 8 units of item G.
  • 1 order line with 12 units of item H.
  • 1 order line with 12 units of item D.
  • 1 order line with 4 units of item E.
  • 1 order line with 4 units of item F.

You can still modify order lines after copying. Prices and discount are automatically determined as usual.

Note

Instead of copying the BOM to the order line, you can also create a single order line for main item A with a quantity of 4. In case of postings to inventory, the components (B, C, D, E and F) are marked On Order and posted. A disadvantage of this method is that you cannot deviate from the BOM data.

 

Main Item

The manufactured item for which the BOM is copied to the purchase order lines.

Effectivity Unit

A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.

Ordered Quantity

The quantity that must be delivered according to the terms on the order line. The quantity is expressed in the purchase unit or the sales unit of the item.

Ordered Quantity

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Maximum Number of Phantom Levels to be Skipped

This field indicates how many bill of material (BOM) levels are summarized when you use phantoms.

Project

An endeavor with a specific objective to be met within the prescribed time and financial limitation, and that has been assigned for definition or execution.

Note

To create a peg distribution for new order lines, specify a value in this field. A peg distribution with one distribution line is generated for the entire ordered quantity in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.

Element

The smallest part of an element structure. An element is used to define the (structure of the) work of the project, so that you can carry it out.

Note

To create a peg distribution for new order lines, you can specify a value in this field. A peg distribution with one distribution line is generated for the entire ordered quantity in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.

Activity

The smallest part of the activity structure used for a time-scaled budget. An entity that is used to represent a part of a project in an activity structure.

LN distinguishes these activity types:

  • WBS Element
  • Control Account
  • Work Package
  • Planning Package
  • Milestone
Note

To create a peg distribution for new order lines, you can specify a value in this field. A peg distribution with one distribution line is generated for the entire ordered quantity in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.

Error Report

If this check box is selected, a report is printed with the errors that occur during the copying process.

Ignore Warehouse from BOM

If this check box is selected, a warehouse is defaulted to the order line by using the standard warehouse defaulting logic for manually entering an order line.

Standard warehouse defaulting logic:

  1. Product variant (only for Manufactured items with the default supply source set to Assembly in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session).
  2. Ship-from business partner
  3. Item purchase data
  4. Purchase order header
  5. User profile
  6. Item ordering data
  7. Purchase office

If this check box is cleared, the Warehouse from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is defaulted to the order line.
