The bill of material to be used to define the production order for the materials, the minimum/maximum material quantity to be produced and to calculate the standard cost for the plant is recorded in the Bill of Materials Relation tab of the Material. When the Bill of Materials Relation is established, the bill of material to be used in material production according to the time requirement is defined. This option is available only in Materials with Finished Good type.
The information recorded in the Bill of Materials Relation tab:
Bill of Materials Code: This field is used to specify the bill with which the material will be produced. Defined bills are listed and the appropriate definition is selected. If there are no defined bills, a new definition is generated using "New" option. The usage priority of the bill is specified in the Priority field. The Priority information must be numeric.
Priority: Indicates the bill of material's priority that will be used in material's production.
Plant No: This field is used to determine the plant in which the bill will be used for production. The defined plants are listed and the appropriate definition is selected.
Start/End Date: Production start/end date.
Standard Cost: This box should be checked if the bill is used in the standard cost calculations of the selected plant. Only one bill can be checked for each plant.
Planning: Indicates whether or not planning will be performed for the bill associated with the material. Minimum Quantity: Indicates the minimum production quantity of the bill of materials. Maximum Quantity: Indicates the maximum production quantity of the bill of materials.
(Minimum and maximum quantity info is used when selected production receipt is usable for the related material's production for its minimum and/or maximum quantities)
BOM Revision: The bill of materials revision code. When calculating MPS / MRP, the revision of BOM can also be used.
The bill of materials information recorded in the Material are processed in production order entries. When the Finished Good Code and the Planned Quantity are specified in Production Order entry, the code of the finished good is displayed as default in the Bill of Materials Code field.
