Production Bill of Material (PBOM) Setup And Generation

The global bill of material models the way the item is built, in multiple levels and in multiple sites, and contains all information that is intrinsic to the item.

P-boms are identified by the combination of an item code and the revision number of the p-bom.

The production bill of materials can be maintained manually or generated using the Engineering Data Management module.

To generate a new production bill of material:

  1. Generate new revision

    In the Production Bills of Material (timfc3100m000) session, use the New Revision command to generate a new production bill of material this will start the Production Bill of Material (timfc3600m000) session.

    The generated production bill of material is generated with the status New and revision number 000001 in the Revision field.

  2. Specify product

    Click on the Product field in the Production Bill of Material (timfc3600m000) session to open the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session for which you want to define a new p-bom.

  3. Assign revision

    LN automatically assigns revision number 001 to a new p-bom.

  4. Default the effective date

    Unless otherwise specified the effective date is defaulted to the current date, with the expiry date set to 9999.

  5. Add the production bill of material lines to the materials tab

    Add the p-bom lines containing the materials.

    Note: changes to the material lines can only be made as long as the p-bom status is New.

  6. Validate p-bom

    Use the Validate Production Bill of Material (timfc3200m000) session to check the new p-bom for consistency and generate a report.

  7. Check production bill of material for consistency

    Use the Check Production Bill of Material Consistency (timfc3200m400) session to check for loops in the p-bom structure, updates of the order system, unit effective supply and commingling restrictions, as well as project peg indicators and trade compliance.

  8. Approve revision

    In the Job Shop Bills of Material (tibom3100m000) session, select the p-bom revision and use the Approve Revision command to change the status from New to Approved.

Note: Only applicable if the Job Shop by Site parameter in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session is set to Active or In Preparation.

New Production Bill of Material from a E-BOM

You can generate a production bill of material from an E-BOM:

  1. Start the Engineering Item (tiedm0110m000) session.
  2. Select the E-BOM you want to generate a production bill of material from.
  3. Use the Engineering Item Revisions command to start the Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000) session.
  4. Select the revision you want to copy to a production bill of material.
  5. Copy E-BOM header and lines to the production bill of material.
  6. The new production bill of material is automatically assigned the status New, with the current date as the default effective date.

Changing an existing production bill of material

To make changes to an existing production bill of material:

  1. Start the Production Bills of Material (timfc3100m000) session.
  2. Select the production bill of material you want to edit.
  3. Use the New Revision command to generate a new revision.
  4. Use the Copy Production Bill of Material (timfc3200m100) session to copy the PBOM header data and material lines to the new revision.
  5. The revision is automatically assigned the status New, with the current date as the default effective date.
  6. Make the necessary changes to the production bill of material header and BOM lines.
  7. Use the Validate Production Bill of Material (timfc3200m000) session to check the new p-bom for consistency and if the materials needed are present before the status is changed to Approved.
  8. Once the new production bill of material is approved, LN adjusts the expiry date of the previous revision in accordance with the effective date of the new revision.
