Creating a Bill of Material
-----------------------------------
A bill of material contains information on the parent item, components,
attachments, and descriptive elements. Each standard component on a bill
can have multiple reference designators and substitute components.
You can create either an engineering or manufacturing bill, copy an
existing bill, or reference a common bill. When you create a bill, it
exists only in the current organization. To use a bill in another
organization, you must either copy it or reference it as a common.
The procedure below describes how to create a bill.
Prerequisites
-------------
Define the parent item and all components as inventory items and set
the BOM Allowed attribute to Yes and BOM Item Type to Model, Option
Class, Planning or Standard.
To create a bill of material
------------------------------------
1. Navigate to the Bills of Material window.
Note: If your current responsibility does not include the
Privilege to Maintain security function, you can only view
bill information. If so, enter selection criteria in the
Find Bills window and choose the Find button. The Bills
Summary folder window appears.
2. Enter the parent item for which you are creating a bill, and if
you are creating an alternate bill, enter the alternate.
Note: Bills and routings can share alternate labels. If you
create an alternate bill with the same label as an alternate
routing, components are assigned to operations on the
alternate routing. If there is no routing with the same
alternate label, components are assigned to operations on
the primary routing.
3. Enter or select the revision and the revision date.
4. If you are updating or viewing a bill, use the Display pop list to
display all, current, or future and current components effective
as of the revision date you specify. Check the Implemented Only
field to further restrict the components to display.
The Bills of Material window contains the following alternative
regions: Main, Effectivity, Component Details, Material Control,
Order Entry, Shipping, and Comments.
5. Enter the item sequence, operation sequence, and the component
item.
6. In the Main tabbed region, enter the quantity used to make one
unit of this assembly item at the current operation.
This can include negative or decimal values, subject to the
following rules:
Pick-to-order bills cannot have fractional component
quantities if Oracle Order Management is installed.
Pick-to-order option class components cannot have negative
values.
Components with Check ATP turned on cannot have negative or
zero quantities.
If the component has Quantity Related turned on, then the
component quantity cannot be fractional or negative.
If an implemented component has Quantity Related turned on,
then the component quantity must be equal to the number of
reference designators.
Attention: The planning process in Oracle Master
Scheduling/MRP ignores negative requirements on
standard discrete jobs and components with a
negative usage on a bill of material when netting
supply and demand.
Note: If you enter a negative quantity for a component, you
should enter either Assembly pull or Operation pull for
the supply type to ensure that you transact the material
when you build the bill.
The Revision field displays the current revision of the component
as of the revision date of the parent item.
7. Open the Effectivity tabbed region and enter the effective date
range for each component.
8. Open the Unit Effectivity tabbed region and verify the following:
The Implemented check box indicates whether the component is
implemented.
Checked: Component is on a pending Engineering Change Order
(ECO)
Unchecked: Component is on implemented ECO or was added
directly to the bill
9. Open the Component Details alternative region and enter the
planning percent.
Enter the yield.
Enter the Enforce Integer Requirement, or select a value from the
list of values. Acceptable values are up, down and none.
Indicate whether the component should be included in cost rollups.
If enabled, the material cost of this component, but not the
routing cost, is included in the cost of the parent item.
10. Optionally, open the Material Control tabbed region and enter the
supply type.
Enter the supply subinventory and the locator.
If you have set the BOM: Default WIP Supply Values for Components
profile option to Yes, these values default from the item master.
If any of these values are left blank, Work in Process will read
the values contained in the item master.
11. For model, option class, and kit bills, open the Order Entry
alternative region and enter the minimum and maximum sales order
quantities.
Indicate whether to check ATP.
Indicate whether the component is optional and mutually
exclusive.
Enter the basis.
12. Open the Shipping tabbed region, and choose whether the component
should be listed on shipping documents, required to ship, or
required for revenue.
13. Choose buttons to perform related tasks
