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:

  • EBOM Copy Method
  • Alternative To Item

Field Information

Engineering Item

engineering item

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    This is an outdated material ( use-up material) that must be used up first.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

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.

Item Category

The item category of the target alternative material.

Alternative To Item

The items that you copy as alternative material in the target bill of material (BOM).
