Field Information

Engineering Item

Engineering Item Revision

The engineering item's revision.

Status

The status of the revision.

Unit

BOM Quantity

BOM quantity

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    This is an outdated material ( use-up material) that must be used up first.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

Alt. Component Type

The alternative material's component type ( Item or E-Item).

Alternative Item

The alternative material.

Note: 

You can select a non-configurable item only as an alternative.
