EBOM and PBOM Consistency (tiedm1520m000)

Use this session to display the differences between engineering bills of material (EBOMs) and production bills of material (PBOMs). The differences are created by changes that are applied after the EBOM is copied to a PBOM.

Note: You must finalize the copying of the EBOM to a PBOM before you run this session.

Field Information

Engineering Item

The parent engineering item of the EBOM that you copied.

E-Item Revision

The engineering item revision which is the parent of the EBOM that you copied.

To enter a revision, click the Find Record button.

Main Item

The standard or customized production BOM's parent item to which the line of the EBOM has been copied.

To enter a new production BOM parent item, click the Find Record button.

Position Number

The BOM position number

Copy Method

The method by which the data was copied.

Allowed values

EBOM to Production BOM Only

Only copy one line from the EBOM to the PBOM.

Copy E-Item to Item

Copy the E-item to an item, and copy the relevant EBOM line to the PBOM line.

NonProj Item to Proj Item

Do not copy an E-item or EBOM, but copy a non-project item to a project item. That is, a standard item to a customized item. Also copy the non-project item's bill of material and routing to the project item's BOM and routing. This option is only available if you select the Customize Copied Item check box in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session.

No Copy Action

No components are copied. This occurs in the following circumstances:

  • The unit of the source component does not match the unit of the target component.
  • There is no valid approved revision of the E-item.
  • A project item is copied to an unrelated project item.
(E)BOM Quantity

The BOM quantity of the parent item.

The EBOM quantity is used in the same way as the BOM quantity for a production BOM. You can use this to specify small quantities as BOM components. If you are specifying a BOM for a dilute chemical solution, you will want to do this.

Suppose you want to make a one part per million salt solution. If the inventory unit of your solution is in liters and you therefore specify a BOM for one liter, the component item will be one milligram of salt, which is too small to be measured accurately. It is more practical to specify a BOM for a BOM quantity of 1000 liters. Thus the component will be one gram of salt.

Note: A BOM quantity was previously called a BOM unit.
On Copying

The component of the EBOM line at the time of copying.

Component Type

The component type.

Allowed values

  • E-Item
  • Item
Engineering BOM

The component in the EBOM line.

Component Type

The type of the component in the EBOM line.

Allowed values

  • E-Item
  • Item
Production BOM

The component item in the production BOM.

Length

The length of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.

Note:  

                  Length can also be used to calculate Net Quantity:

                  Net Quantity = Length x Width x Number of Units
Width

The width of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.


               Width can also be used to calculate Net Quantity: Net Quantity = Length x Width x Number of Units

Number of Units

The number of units of the item in the EBOM or PBOM at the time of copying. This is equal to the number of units in the length or area.

Net Quantity

The net quantity of the component in the EBOM or PBOM line.

The net quantity is the number of times the component occurs in the EBOM or PBOM.


               Net Quantity = (Length x BOM Conversion Factor) x (Width x BOM Conversion Factor) x Number of Units / Conversion Factor
Note: 
  • If the component has no Width, the value of ( Width x BOM Conversion Factor) is left out of the formula.
  • You can define conversion factors in the Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000) session. LN uses the conversion factor which is applicable to the units of the item or E-item.
Extra Information

The short text present in the EBOM or PBOM.

To Item

The component of the production BOM line to which the line from the EBOM is copied.

Finalized to Position

The position or line number of the production BOM to which the line of the EBOM is copied.

Eff. Statement Changed

If this check box is selected, the exceptions in the EBOM compared to the production BOM are different.
