Replacing outdated materials and designating use-up materials

Use Up can be defined in:

Engineering BOM
Production BOM
Job Shop BOM
Assembly BOM

The Engineering BOM serves to feed the Production BOM or the Assembly BOM. The Production BOM is the basis to create a Job Shop BOM, Repetitive Model or Subcontracting Model. The Job Shop BOM only supports the use up functionality.

The use up functionality is applicable only when the Job Shop by Site is active. When this is not active, this is defined as:

Engineering BOM
Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)
Assembly BOM

Use Up in Engineering BOMs (EBOM)

The Use Up in Engineering BOMs (EBOM) is similar to the alternative material.

Use Up in Production Bills of Material (timfc3100m000)

The Use Up in Production BOM is similar to the Job Shop Bill of Material.

Use Up and Alternative Materials in Job Shop BOMs

This topic describes how to replace an outdated material with a replacement material in a job shop bill of material (BOM) and specify the outdated material as a use-up material.

Note:

If you use Engineering Data Management to control changes in a BOM, this procedure does not apply.

Access the Job Shop List of Material (tibom3110m000) session. For the BOM revision, select or create a material line. The Job Shop List of Material (tibom3610m000) session is displayed.
Specify the new material, and for the Replaces Item field, specify the material from the previous bill of material revision that must be replaced.

Use Up in Assembly BOM and Operations

Access the Assembly BOM and Operations (tiapl2520m000) session. Click the Go to Details button for a material line and specify the outdated material as use up part.

If the Job Shop by Site is not active, alternatives can be defined in the Engineering Bill of Material (tiedm1110m000) session, the Assembly BOM and Operations (tiapl2520m000) and the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) sessions. The setup for the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session is similar to the setup of an alternative material.
