Assign a BOM to an operation

You can configure the BOM information for an operation if you have an item or items assigned to the process which have BOMs associated with them. You can select the item being produced by the operation, which can be different from the item produced by the process.

Note: The last operation in the process must produce the item as defined to be produced by the process.

You can also configure the consumption information for an operation. You can specify consumed items and the consumed quantity of an item during an operation. If more than one item is linked to the process, then you need to set up the BOM information for each item separately.

You can link a BOM item to an operation to specify where the BOM components are consumed. When you link a BOM item to an operation, all produced items, BOM versions, and BOM components of that BOM item are linked to that operation. You can link multiple BOM items to an operation.

You must create a BOM in the Items module before configuring the BOM in the Processes module. For more information on creating a BOM, see Create BOMs for an item.

You cannot delete a BOM component from the Processes module. If you want to delete a BOM component, you can use the Items module. For more information on items, see Items.

Configure an operation BOM

1. Select the operation.

2. On the Properties window, click BOM, and then click Configure Operation Output.

   The BOM Items dialog box appears. The BOM Items dialog box shows the BOM items that are linked to the selected process.

   You must link an item to the process in the Processes module before configuring an operation BOM link. For more information on linking an item to a process, see Assign items to a process.

3. Right-click a BOM item on the BOM Items dialog box, and then click Set as Produced Item.

   

   You must have more than one produced item in the BOM tree.

4. On the Properties window, click Configure Operation BOM.

   The BOM dialog box appears.

   

5. On the BOM dialog box, complete the following settings:

   Item Produced in this Operation

   The item and BOM version that you want to configure. The BOM positions for the items that make up the BOM are listed.

   Percent to Start

   The percentage quantity of items that must be reported as produced by the previous operation before this operation’s job state is set to Ready.

   Note that this value will affect the latest start time by when an operation's production should begin to meet a work order's required finish time. For example, say an operation is able to begin production with its available start quantity being less than 100%. This will contribute to the latest production start time for that operation and upstream operations being later than if the operation required 100% of its start quantity to begin production. For more information on this affect, see Understand the default latest start times for operations.

   BOM Position

   Read-only. The BOM position of the components or by-products for the selected item or BOM version.

   Quantity

   Read-only. The quantity of the BOM item to be consumed or produced during the selected process per unit of production.

   Qty at Operation

   The quantity of the BOM item to be consumed or produced during the selected operation per unit of production.

   Remaining

   Read-only. The quantity of the BOM item that can be consumed or produced by other operations per unit of production.
