| | Link materials to operationsLinking an operation to a material allows for: Phased issue of materials Linking operations
to materials reduces stockpiling of raw materials and intermediates, as it
allows to determine accurate delivery dates. For instance, the Order Planning module in Enterprise Planning uses the operation by material
to determine the delivery time concerning planned purchase and
production. If a material is
not linked to an operation, LN will assume that the material is needed at the start of the first
operation. If a production
order has no operations, LN will assume that the material is needed at the start of the
production.
Use of job shop warehouses By linking an
operation to a material, LN determines from which job shop warehouse the material is to be issued. A work
center is linked to an operation, and a job shop warehouse is linked to a work
center. Application of operation scrap and yield The calculation of
the estimated quantity of a material is affected by the scrap quantity and
yield percentage of the operation where it is used. Materials must be linked to
the operations where they are used in order to achieve an accurate
estimate.
Linking materials to operations You can link materials to operations in two ways: In the BOM In the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, enter the operation in the Operation field. In the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session In the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session, specify the routing code and the operation.
Note All warehouses and operations must be linked to the same
site as the production order for which the materials are needed. An item can have
several routings per site.
In the bill of material (BOM), you can enter one operation number, which then
applies to all routings of an item.
