Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm2125m000)

Use this session to view the use-up materials and alternative materials for the materials in an engineering BOM's copy data. You can also maintain some of the fields.

You can modify the following fields:

 

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.

Main Item

The production BOM's main item.

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    This is an outdated material ( use-up material) that must be used up first.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.
EBOM Copy Method

The copy method used by LN for copying the EBOM to the production BOM.

Allowed values

  • No Copy Action
  • Copy E-Item to Item
  • NonProj Item to Proj Item
  • EBOM to Job Shop PBOM Only
