New Data Error check for circular Bill of Materials (BOM) definitions
A new exception KPI is added to the Data Errors workbench for reference where an item is
available in both inflow and outflow on the same production process, also known as a circular
Bill of Materials (BOM).
This functionality provides additional checks to identify data errors prior to create a new plan (solve) and can prevent cases where no planned production for a process is possible due to a configuration problem.
This measure and associated calculation rule (SPLS_ERROR_CIRCULAR_BOM) is added:
- Data Error: (Critical) An Item is both inflow and outflow on the same BOM
The Data Errors worksheet is updated to include the exception KPI where an item return a non-zero value for the current context. The KPI appears within the updated panel:
- Data Errors (Critical)
Note: This feature is enabled after appending the supply planning template (spls.zip) for this
version and no additional role or privilege is not required to access this feature.
