- Customer
- Project
- Status
- The code indicates the status of the project/quotation.
- Level
- The current level number within the structure.
- Phase
- Line number
- Item
- The code that identifies the item and variant.
- Variant
- Sequence number
- Component
- The code that identify the component item.
- Component variant
- The component variant of the item. An item can have several variants, where parts of the bill of material and/or bill of routing differ from the base structure. The base structure always has variant 000. The component variant is also used for creation of lower level material.
- Description
- The description of the component item or the entered description for structure for fictitious items.
- Quantity
- The quantity of components, displayed in up to 3 decimal places, included in the material structure.
- Set-up quantity
- The fixed set-up quantity for materials. This set-up quantity can be deemed as an estimated reservation that you plan on consuming for the machine set-up before real production, and is independent of the order’s quantity. When manufacturing orders are entered, the components required quantity is calculated as follows: order quantity x component quantity + fixed set-up quantity.
Example:
Fixed set-up quantity = 10
Order quantity = 5
Component quantity = 1
Component required quantity = 15
- Unit
- The code from the Item file that indicates the stock unit of the component.
- Operation number
- The operation number where the material line is first used. This is used for dividing the material list into different sets of pick lists. If this information is used the item is reserved for production purposes. The starting time for this operation is used instead of the starting time for the production order.
- Valid from
- The start date of effect when an item can be included as a component in a material structure. Before this date the item will not be used.
- To
- The end date of effect when an item can be included as a component in a material structure. After this date the item will not be used.
- Phantom item
- Indicates if this item will be handled as a phantom item in manufacturing orders. This means that material and operations on the phantom item will be moved from lower levels to level 1.
- Position number
- The position number for the component item. This field can be used in the shop floor printout to print the manufacturing order bill of material in position number order.
- MRP break
- Indicates if the material explosion of this item in the MRP-run will stop here. This code is only used for item type 1 or 2.
- Waste percentage
- Allocation warehouse
- End network
- Indicates if the explosion of the BOM should stop at this level when a manufacturing order network is created. This will allow the use of standard sub-assemblies within a network.
- Floor stock code
- The floor stock code indicates if material connected to manufacturing orders will be backflushed. If a value is entered it will override the floor stock code that was entered in the Item file.
