Adding a Bill of Material

For additional field definitions see Bill of Material.

To add a new Bill of Material (BOM) to the system

1. At the Finished Good Item field, enter the item group for the finished goods item. Select the item from the Select An Item window.

If you are uncertain of the item code, see Navigating Net Yield - Selecting an Item.

2. If the finished goods item does not have a BOM, the system will ask whether you want to create the BOM based on another finished goods item with a BOM. A "Profile like another? No/Yes" command line option will appear. This is a fast way to create BOMs for several finished goods items that are produced from the same raw materials and other raw materials. Once the BOM is set up for one item, that profile can be used to create the BOMs for the other finished goods items.

• Select no and the system will begin a new blank BOM.
• Select yes and the system will place you in the Profile Like field, where you can enter the item group for the finished good item profile to use as a model. Select the item from the Select An Item window. The profile of the BOM for the item selected will be added to the original item selected.
• If the finished good item selected does not have a BOM, the following message will appear: "No BOM exists for the selected profile item !!! Space Bar to Continue" press the space bar and start over
• See Changing a Bill of Material for more information on changing the BOM.

If you are uncertain of the item code, see Navigating Net Yield - Selecting an Item.

3. At the Raw Material Item field, enter the item group and select the raw material item that will be used to produce the finished goods item. The COOL level, the default COOL identity and stocking unit of measure will appear.

If you are uncertain of the item code, see Navigating Net Yield - Selecting an Item.

4. At the Source field select the Source type for the item. A Select An Option window will appear, allowing you to define this product as:

• P = Primary Raw Material – Used as the primary raw material for planning purposes on the planning report and production planning report. A finished goods item can only have one primary raw material.
• R = Raw Material – This is an alternate item from which the finished goods item can be produced,
• I = Infrequent Raw Material – The infrequent raw material is used for a raw material that is infrequently used to produce the finished goods item. The finished goods item will appear in the infrequent finished goods selection box when creating a work order from this raw material.
• A = Other Raw Material Actual – Used to add the actual quantity of packaging, ingredients or other components used to produce the finished goods item.The user will have the option to update the standard usage with the actual lot and quantity used .
• S = Other Raw Material Standard – Used to allocate the standard quantity of packaging, ingredients or other components used to produce the finished goods item, The standard other raw material quantity cannot be changed on the work order. The completed work order will remove the other raw material item from inventory at the standard quantity and from the first available lot.

Work in-Process type item cannot be added to the BOM. Non-Stocked items can be added as ORM Actual or Standard only.

Adding Manufacturing Costs for the Raw Material Items to the BOM

If you select P = Primary RM, R = Raw Material, or I = Infrequent RM, and the Manufacturing Costs Accrued field in Ledger Options is set to Y (Y = Yes) and production-type cost adjustments have been defined, then manufacturing costs can be added to the finished good for the raw material items on the BOM.

If manufacturing costs will be added to the finished goods item when produced from the primary raw material or raw material items, a Select A Manufacturing Cost option window will appear with the following information:

• Exit – Select Exit to exit without adding a manufacturing cost
• A list the production type cost adjustments types

 

Scroll to the appropriate cost adjustment type and press Enter to select.

A Select An Option window will appear.

• Select Per Lb to add a per pound cost to the finished good to be produced. 
• Select Per EA (if the stocking unit of measure of the finished goods item is EA) to add a cost per each raw material item unit to the finished goods item to be produced. 
• Select Total to add a total fixed cost to the item produced, regardless of the number of pounds or units produced. The total cost will be allocated to each finished goods item produced on the work order based on the total weight of all finished goods items produced.

Enter the standard cost to add to the cost of the finished good produced for the production type cost adjustment selected.

Continue entering all costs to be added to the finished goods item.

When all cost types and rates have been entered select Exit.

Command options will appear:

• Save – Select Save to save the manufacturing costs
• Add – Select Add to add another cost to the BOM.
• Change – Select Change to change an existing cost on the BOM. Scroll to the line that needs to be changed and press Enter. Change the method of cost calculation and/or amount to be added and press Enter to return to the command options. Select Save to return to the BOM.
• Delete – Select Delete to delete a cost from the BOM. Scroll to the line that needs to be deleted and press Enter.

Adding an Other Raw Material to a BOM

If you select A = ORM Actual or S = ORM Standard, Enter the quantity of the other raw material item needed to produce the finished goods item.

The command line "Quantity Unit of Measure: OZ, LB, EA or User Defined" will appear. Select the unit of measure for the quantity of the component.

• Enter OZ to add the standard usage quantity in Ounces.
• Enter LB to add the standard usage quantity in Pounds
• Enter EA to add the standard usage quantity in the stocking unit of measure (EA)
• Enter the User Defined unit description to add the standard usage based on a user defined unit of measure.

 

At the Scrap field, enter the scrap factor to applied to the standard usage quantity to account for waste or damaged units of the other raw material. The scrap factor can be between 0.00001 and 0.99999. The default is 0.00000 which equals no scrap.

5. After you have entered your last component onto the BOM press Enter.

Command options will appear:

• Add – Select Add to add another component to the BOM.
• Change – Select Change to change the source type, manufacturing cost, standard quantity, and/or scrap factor of an existing raw material item.

• Delete – Select Delete to delete a raw material or other raw material item from the BOM.
• Update – Select Update to save the BOM..
• Void BOM – Select Void BOM to void the BOM. The following message will display: "Do you really want to VOID this BOM? No/Yes."
  • Select no to return to the command options.
  • Select yes to void the BOM.
• Print – Select Print to print the BOM. Command options will appear, allowing you to print or choose from a set of other print options. See Printing Bill of Materials for more information.
• Exit – Select Exit to exit the BOM. The following message will display: "BOM was changed!!! Exit anyway? No/Yes."
  • Select no to return to the command options.
  • Select yes to exit and void the BOM.

6. Select Update to save the BOM.

Important: Your changes will not be saved unless you select Update.
