Note: 

• The item type Product can be used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
• The item types Purchased and Manufactured are used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

BOM Quantity

Defines the number of manufactured items on which the item's BOM is based. It enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components.

Planned by SCM Planner

If this check box is selected, all planning for the order is done by the Infor Planning.

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 BOM, however, several variants can be defined for each position number.

The sequence number indicates that several versions of the component for each position number can exist. For product variants, enter the sequence number within a position number of the generic bill of material. This sequence number can also be left empty.

Item

The item code of the component. Generic and standard items are allowed. A generic item can also be the main item in another generic bill of material. A standard item can also be a main item in a production bill of material.

The components must be items with the Purchased, Manufactured, or Generic item type. The component must be predefined in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. From this field, you can directly record items in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.

Operation

Operations needed to produce a generic manufactured item are defined in the generic routing by means of operation numbers. These operations are included in the production order planning.

Line Station

The line station to which the purchased configurable item is linked. This data is displayed only for configurable purchased child items.

• Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - Master Data Setup
• Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - BOM setup
• Product variants - Purchased configurable items

Warehouse

The warehouse where the component is stored and where the allocation for a production order is made.

WMS Controlled

If this check box is selected, you defined in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session that an integration with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) exists. The value of the Lot Selection field in this session must be the same as in the used WMS.

Lot Selection

This field is applicable for lot-controlled items. The values Any, Same, or Specific regard the special conditions for the delivery of lot items on order lines. The values also determine the way lot numbers are assigned.

Note: If the item is a floor stock item:

• The value is set to Any.
• This value cannot be modified.

Allowed values

Any

The goods received or shipped are not subject to specific lot conditions. You can use more than one lot.

Same

You can select any lot for receipt or shipment, but the entire receipt or shipment must have the same lot.

Specific

You can receive or ship only one, specific lot.

Assembly

Operation

The assembly operation to which the purchased configurable item is linked. This data is displayed only for configurable purchased child items.

For more information on procuring purchased configurable items in Assembly Control module, refer to

• Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - Master Data Setup
• Procuring configured items in Assembly Control - BOM setup
• Product variants - Purchased configurable items

Constraint

The code of the constraint that is applicable to this component.

In the constraint text, you can define the condition under which this component must be selected when you generate the project structure.

Length

The length of the component.

This field can be used, together with the Width field and number of units, to calculate the net quantity.

The net quantity is the Length field multiplied by the number of units, multiplied by the Width field if applicable.

Size Unit

The unit of measurement used.

Width

The width of the component.

This field can be used, together with the Width field and number of units, to calculate the net quantity.

The net quantity is the Length field multiplied by the number of units, multiplied by the Width field if applicable.

Number of Units

The number of units is the number of times that the component appears in the specified length (and width, if applicable).

Net Quantity

The net quantity of the component (excluding the scrap percentage) required to produce the manufactured item.

Net Quantity

The inventory unit of the net quantity.

Scrap Quantity

scrap

The quantity of material that is lost during production. The quantity is a fixed quantity that is independent of the quantity produced. Recording a scrap quantity prevents shortages in production.

Scrap is an extra loss in addition to the loss caused by the yield being less than 100%.

If you generate the BOM from an engineering BOM, the scrap factor and scrap quantity values are also copied. However, these values are only copied if the sequence number is the only thing changed, for example, wheel 10/1 to wheel 10/2. If a new item exists on the BOM line, for example, wheel to spare wheel, the scrap data is not copied. In this case, scrap quantity and scrap factor will be zero.

Scrap Percentage

Defining a scrap factor prevents shortages in production. The scrap factor is expressed as a percentage loss.

A scrap factor of 5% means that LN will allocate 5% more of a component for a production order (gross material requirement).

Scrap is an extra loss in addition to the loss caused by the yield being less than 100%.

If you generate the BOM from an engineering BOM, the scrap factor and scrap quantity values are also copied. However, these values are only copied if the sequence number is the only thing changed, for example, wheel 10/1 to wheel 10/2. If there is a new item on the BOM line, for example, wheel to spare wheel, the scrap data is not copied. In this case, the scrap quantity and scrap factor will be zero.

Planning Quantity

The planning quantity of a component in a generic bill of material is used in the Enterprise Planning calculation when determining the average requirements for this component, as a result of planned orders for generic items on a higher level in the generic product structure.

The Enterprise Planning calculation will incorporate this planning quantity (multiplied by the planning percentage) as the net requirement for the production of the generic manufactured item. The exact material requirements are not known during the Enterprise Planning calculation, because there is no customer for the generic item in this planning phase. As a result, a specific product variant has not yet been selected.

Planning Percentage

The planning percentage serves to perform a Enterprise Planning calculation, as does the Planning Quantity field.

Percentage Required

The percentage of raw material required before the operation can be started.

Default value

The default is 0% and this field is unavailable. You can start the operation with no raw materials available (at least in theory).

Effective Date

effective date

Expiry Date

The expiry date indicates from which date the generic BOM is invalid.

Phantom

If the component is defined as a phantom in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session, LN selects this check box. You can override the value in the current field.

You can use phantom items to record technical information about the product structure or to carry out cost calculations.

Use Phantom Inventory

If this check box is selected, LN checks if any phantom inventory is available.

If the phantom item is available in inventory, and the quantity is sufficient, this inventory is used as a component in the production order.

If no phantom inventory is available, or if the quantity is insufficient, the inventory is not used. LN treats the component as a normal phantom item, so the phantom is exploded for the total quantity.

Note: The phantom inventory is always ignored during planning.

Visible on Order

If this check box is selected, the material is visible on order.

Note: If the item is a floor stock item:

• By default, this check box is selected. This check box can only be switched for floor stock items.
• This check box is displayed only if the Floor Stock check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

Print on Order Document

If this check box is selected, the BOM component is printed on the order document.

Users can specify whether or not they want to print a BOM material on the order document. For example, a user can choose not to print the floor stock in the material list.

Floor Stock

Indicates if the item is a floor stock item.

Text

If this check box is selected, a text is present.

Specify Material Offset

If this check box is selected, you can specify the lead-time offset. If you do not use lead-time offset, material must be present at the start of an operation.

Lead Time Offset

The lead-time offset in days. The date that a component must be available is calculated by subtracting the lead-time offset from the operation's end date.

Note: You can only enter the lead-time offset if the Specify Material Offset check box is selected.

Extra Information

If extra information exists about the BOM line, you can find it in this field.

Supplied by Subcontractor

If you subcontract one or more operations, or an item's entire production process, you can choose whether or not to send material to the subcontractor to use for the subcontracted item.

If this check box is selected, the material is not sent to the subcontractor. The material is supplied by the subcontractor.

If this check box is cleared, and the material is linked to a subcontracted operation, the material is sent to the subcontractor.
