• Valid (field VALID)

This field is used to validate (value "YES") or exclude from the process (value "NO") the selected lines.

• Alternative (field BOMALT)

Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning).

• Parent product (field ITMREF)

This product code describes what is referred to as a "Bill of Materials" or a "BOM". A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.

The BOM code matches the product code.

For components that are managed b y lot, this is the last lot for which this link is valid.

• Routing oper (field CPNOPE)

• Ope LT (field BOMOFS)

The operation lead-time is used during launch and in the MRP calculations. It is used to calculate the date of the component (material) requirement with respect to the production start date of the parent product.

It is expressed in calendar days. You can enter a negative value.

Example: A work order has a start date of the 26/06:

• If the operation lead-time is 7 days, the material requirement date will be calculated on the 03/07 (26/06 + 7);
• If the operation lead-time is -7 days, the material requirement date will be calculated on the 19/06 (26/06 - 7).

Used this field to define the tolerance value to apply when weighing a material. The value you select affects the weighing tolerance fields.

You can select one of the following levels:

- Blank — for material not weighed; only available if the Pick list code is Material correction at station or Material correction in manufacturing.

- SHI record — default value for weighed material; the weighing tolerance fields are disabled and populated with values based on the Product-sites setup (GESITF).

- Product-site — the weighing tolerance fields are disabled and populated with values based on the Product-sites setup (GESITF).

- BOM — weighing tolerance fields are enabled and you can enter weighing tolerance percentages to calculate the weight variance.

Note: This field is only available when the MWM-Weighing station activity code is active.

• Weighing tolerance + (%) (field ITMTOLPOS)

This field displays the percentage used to calculate the weight variance.

You can only modify this field if the Setup level is set to BOM.

If the Setup level is SHI record or Product-site, this value is based on the Product-sites setup. (GESITF)

Note: This field is only available when the MWM - Weighing station activity code is active.

• Weighing tolerance - (%) (field ITMTOLNEG)

• Valid (field VALID)

This field is used to validate (value "YES") or exclude from the process (value "NO") the selected lines.

• Qty rounding (field QTYRND)

The quantity of BOM links is entered with a maximum accuracy, which is not always useful for the stock management.
This code is used to manage the quantity rounding mode, based on the stock unit decimal, in the processes using the BOM.
The rounding can be to the nearest, highest or lowest.

• Base quantity (field BASQTY)

The base quantity entry depends on the management unit chosen:

• the management unit is equal to 1, 100, 1000 or is expressed as a percentage. the base quantity is forced respectively to values 1, 100, 1000 or 100,

It is thus possible to enter a BOM for 1 product unit, 100 product units, 1,000 product units, in percentage or for a specific product lot size.
In the percentage definition, the total link quantities must be equal to 100.
The basic quantity section is initialized or entered depending on the chosen management unit.

• % scrap (field SCA)

The loss percentage is used to increase the link quantity in order to take into account the loss due to the production process.
In the various inquiries, two quantities can be displayed:

• net quantity: calculation of the quantity necessary to produce a parent product, without taking the loss into account.
• gross quantity: calculation of the quantity necessary to produce a parent product, when taking the loss into account.

• Valid from (field BOMSTRDAT)
