MBC Action (tiedm3120m000)

Field Information

MBC Number

The mass bill of material change (MBC) number generated by LN using the number group that you enter in the Number Group for MBC field in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session.

MBC Status

The order status.

Allowed values

Created

The initial status of a production order. All production order data can still be changed. Materials are not issued yet. Materials can be added or removed, and quantities can be changed.

Modify

The production order may be modified in the same way as with the Created status. If the Version Control check box is selected, this status is assigned to a newly created version of a production order. It is possible to adjust estimates for this production order. The already registered actuals are saved with the new version number on the production order.

Note: You must print the production order documents and release the production order once you have made the necessary changes. Once the new production order is printed, or released the estimated costs are frozen again.

Scheduled

The production order receives this status after being scheduled in Infor SCM Scheduler . This status is only applicable if Infor SCM Scheduler is Active.

Printed

The documents for the production order were printed. If the Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is selected in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session, the production order cannot be released before the order documents are printed. The Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is not valid for repetitive items, because printing order documents is never mandatory for repetitive items. For a description of the types of order documents, see Contents of order documents.

Note: Once the production order documents are printed, estimates for the order can no longer be adjusted.

Released

If a production order is released for production, materials are issued to the job shop for production, and hours can be posted. You can still perform the following:

• Adjust planning data
• Change the estimated materials and estimated operation costs as long as the cost estimates are not frozen.

Production orders can be released in the Release Production Orders (tisfc0204m000) session.

Active

Work on the production order has started. The order status becomes Active when any WIP transaction takes place for the production order. If the production order status is Active, hours are posted and materials are issued. The estimated costs cannot be changed .

Production Completed

The order is reported as completed. When Warehousing finishes the inbound procedure for produced items that must be delivered into inventory, the production receives the Completed status.

Completed

The order is reported as completed and all completed products were delivered into inventory. You can still account hours and issue materials for the production order. You can report an order as completed in these sessions:

• Report Orders Completed (tisfc0520m000)

  Use this session to report one or more orders, partly or entirely, as completed.

• Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000)

  Use this session to report the final operation of an order as completed.

• Report Operations Complete by Order Group (tisfc0205m000)

  Use this session to report orders as completed by order group.

• Report Production Schedules Completed (tirpt1201m000) and Report Production Orders Completed from Production Schedule (tirpt1502m000)

  Use these sessions to report production orders in production schedules as complete for RPT items.

Closed

The financial results of the production order have been calculated. Before a production order is closed, all materials for the order must have been issued and all hours must have been accounted. Purchase orders for subcontracted operations must have been processed. After an order has been closed, materials can no longer be issued nor can hours be accounted unless the order status is reset. You can close production orders with the Close Production Orders (ticst0201m000) session.

Archived

The production order data was moved to the archive. For more information, refer to Archiving production orders.

All Actions Must Apply to Item

If this check box is selected, the E-items selected in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session, to which all mass bill of material change (MBC) lines are applicable, will be considered for change.

If this check box is cleared, the E-items selected in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session, to which at least one MBC line is applicable, will be considered for change.

Note: 

The field relates to E-items which are both directly and indirectly listed in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session.

In the MBC Action (tiedm3120m000) session you define two MBC lines:

• Delete Metal-Wheel
• Replace Metal-Pedal with Plastic-Pedal

If the All Actions Must Apply to Item check box is selected:

• The MBC is carried out for the components of Red-Bicycle, because all the lines are applicable.
• The MBC is not carried out for Blue-Bicycle or Yellow-Bicycle, because only one of the lines is applicable.

If the All Actions Must Apply to Item check box is cleared:

• The MBC is carried out for all the bicycles, because each bicycle contains a component to which an MBC line applies.

Note: If the Include/Exclude E-Items per Action check box is selected, this field is not available.

Position Number

The mass bill of material change (MBC) position number, which identifies the MBC action.

MBC Action

The action of the mass BOM change (MBC).

Allowed values

Add

A specific component is added to the EBOM.

Delete

A specific component in the EBOM is deleted.

Replace

A specific component in the EBOM is replaced by a new component.

Component Type

The item type of the component affected by the mass bill of material change (MBC).

Component

The component item that you want to delete when you carry out the mass bill of material change (MBC) action, or that you want to be replaced by another component.

Component Type

The item type of the replacement or additional component.

Component

The replacement or additional component item.

General

Position

The position number of the component allows unequivocal recognition of the generic bill of material. This number is comparable to the position number in the production bill of material. In a generic bill of material, however, several variants can be defined for each position number.

Replace Type

This field determines how the Quantity in EBOM field is handled in the Process EBOM Changes (tiedm3205m000) session if the MBC Action reads Replace.

Allowed values

• * (Multiplication)
• / (Division)
• + (Addition)
• - (Subtraction)
• = (Adoption)

Include/Exclude E-Items

This field determines whether the items you specify in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session will be excluded from or included in the mass bill of material change (MBC).

If you select Include, only the E-items listed in the Include/Exclude E-Items (tiedm3121m000) session as related to this order will be changed by the MBC.

Note: If you select Exclude, but do not specify any items, all the E-items will still be included in the MBC.

Include Use Up Materials

If this check box is selected, LN also copies the EBOM component's use-up materials, which you defined in the Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM (tiedm2115m000) session.

If you run the Generate EBOM Copy Data by MBC (tiedm3235m000) session or the Process MBC (tiedm3250m000) session, LN copies these materials to the Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm2125m000) session.

Include Alternative Materials

If this check box is selected, LN also copies the EBOM component's alternative materials, which you defined in the Use Up and Alternative Materials by Engineering BOM (tiedm2115m000) session.

If you run the Generate EBOM Copy Data by MBC (tiedm3235m000) session or the Process MBC (tiedm3250m000) session, LN copies these materials to the Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm2125m000) session.

MBC Action at Ref. Designator Level

If this check box is selected, you can define an MBC action to add, replace, or delete reference designators. Use the New Reference Designator field and/or the Old Reference Designator field to enter reference designators.

Old Reference Designator

The reference designator that you want to delete when you carry out the mass bill of material change (MBC) action, or that you want to be replaced by another reference designator.

Old Reference Designator

The description of the reference designator. This can be, for example, a code that expresses the location where you must mount a component item.

New Reference Designator

The reference designator that replaces the old component when you carry out the mass bill of material change (MBC) action, or that you want to add.

New Reference Designator

The description of the reference designator. This can be, for example, a code that expresses the location where you must mount a component item.

Length

The length and width of the replacement component, or of the component that is to be added in the EBOM.

Size Unit

The unit of measurement used.

Width

The width of the replacement component or of the component that is to be added in the EBOM.

Number of Units

The number of units needed of the replacement component.

Quantity in EBOM

The net quantity of the component in the EBOM.

If LN generates new EBOMs, it uses the value of the current field in combination with the MBC Action.

There are three possibilities:

• Delete. The field is not applicable.
• Add. The value of this field is taken to be the value of the Net Quantity field in the Process EBOM Changes (tiedm3205m000) session.

The quantity in the EBOM is calculated in the same way for components in the PBOM: Net Quantity = ( Length x BOM Conversion Factor) x ( Width x BOM Conversion Factor) x Number of Units/ Conversion Factor

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.

• Replace. The field is calculated using the Net Quantity as a value and the Replace Type as a mathematical operator. If possible, LN first calculates the Net Quantity using the formula provided earlier. If LN can not calculate the Net Quantity using the formula provided earlier, LN uses the value of the current field to calculate Net Quantity field in the Process EBOM Changes (tiedm3205m000) session using Replace Type as a mathematical operator.

Note: 

Number of Units	3
Length	2
Width	4
BOM Conversion Factor	1
Conversion Factor	1

LN calculates the new Net Quantity = 3 x (2 x 1) x (4 x 1) / 1= 24 = Quantity in EBOM.

If this is not possible (for example, no length was present), LN takes the value of Quantity in EBOM as the new value of Net Quantity.

MBC Action = Replace Replace Type = + (Addition) Net Quantity (old) = 5

Net Quantity (new, in the Process EBOM Changes (tiedm3205m000) session) = ( Quantity in EBOM) x ( Replace Type) x ( Net Quantity (old)) = 24 + 5 = 29

Quantity Independent

If this check box is selected, the E-item's net quantity is copied to update the scrap quantity in the BOM.

If this check box is cleared, the E-item's net quantity is copied to update the net quantity of the BOM.
