Manufacturing

In case of multiple logistic companies, depending on the required manufacturing functionality several tables from the Manufacturing (ti) package can be shared between these logistic companies. These table sets assume that the common tables as described for the General Multicompany setup are also shared between the logistic companies.

R30000 Central Bills-of-Material (KT)

This table set contains the tables to be shared to have central Bills of Materials. As a result, the same Bill of Material can be used on different logistical companies.

Note: 
  • The Bill of Material can contain a warehouse in which the component is stored and the allocation for a production order is made. When the Bill of Material is shared, the warehouse from the Bill of Material cannot be used. To achieve this, the Specify Warehouse in BOM parameter in the item production data (tiipd001) table must be cleared for all items. In that case, not the warehouse of the BOM, but the warehouse of the Item - Planning (cprpd100) or Item - Ordering (tcibd200) is used, depending on whether the Job Shop order is created by Planning or by Job Shop. The latter tables (cprpd100 and tcibd200) are not allowed to be shared.
  • The tables from this table set cannot be shared when sites are in preparation or active.

R30100 Central Engineering (KT)

This table set contains the tables that must be shared to achieve central engineering. Central engineering implies that the engineering can be done centrally and the engineered items can be linked to an item in all logistic companies. So, via the relationship between engineering item and item, the engineering data and production data (including BOM and general item data) are linked. Therefore, the sharing EDM depends on the sharing of the general item data and production BOM.

Upon sharing of the engineering and the production data, these scenarios are possible:

Production Item and BOM
Do not share Share
Engineering Item and BOM Do not share Possible Not possible
Share

Possible

The main link between production and engineering data is established via the relationship table between engineering item and item. The reference to the general item can become problematic if the engineering data is shared, but the item data is not.

Variant: Do not share the relation Engineering Item and Item (tiedm101)

This is possible, but may be not straightforward. In this scenario the engineering item and engineering BOM are defined centrally, but the production BOM and general item data are not shared. The relationship between item and engineering item cannot be shared in this case (tiedm101). This means that the process to copy engineering data to production data must be run separately in each company and cannot be executed centrally.

Possible

R30200 Ctr. Configuration Models

When the product configuration models need to be the same between different companies, the tables from this table set must be shared.

R30300 Central Production BOM

This table set contains the tables that must be shared to support the use of central production Bills of Materials. If these tables are shared, the same production Bill of Materials can be used in different logistical companies.

The tables in this table set can only be shared if the items are shared. Therefore, a relation is present to table set R05500.

R34900 Maximum Sharing Manufacturing (KT)

This table set contains all tables of the Manufacturing (ti) package that can be shared. Tables that are not part of this table set cannot be shared.

Note: If the Multisite concept is activated, the tiipd001 table and the tiipd002 table must not be shared.

Relations between table sets

tr_graph_central_production_BOM
Note: 
  • The 303 Ctr: Production BOM table set replaces table set 300: Ctr Bill of Material if the Sites and Job Shop by Site functionality is activated in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
  • The R30300 Central Production BOM can be used as a basis for Bills of Material for specific sites. A Bill of Material for a site can be used for planning, for the creation of a production order, and for the calculation of standard costs.
