You can automatically generate bills of resources by copying your current routing information when you load a bill of resources or create them manually. You can manually update a bill of resources that you have generated using the bill of resources load. You can choose to roll up the manual changes when loading or reloading a bill of resources.
When generating bills of resources automatically, the bill of resources load process explodes each item to the bottom of its bill of material structure. It then rolls up the resource requirements for each subassembly and component, level by level, and calculates cumulative resource requirements for the parent item.
Attention: The bill of resources load only looks at current bills of material and routings, and ignores any engineering, bill, and routing changes scheduled to occur in the future.
When entering or updating single level bill of resource requirements, where the bill of resource item and the source item are the same, you can enter one repetitive resource requirement only. Since a repetitively manufactured item is built from start to finish on a single production line, it does not make sense to specify requirements for more than one line. By contrast, discretely manufactured items often require the use of multiple resources during their manufacturing process. Each resource requirement must be for a department resource combination or a production line, but not both.
When using the bill of resources load process, you can choose to generate bills of resources for all items or a range of items. You can load a bill of resources for an individual item or a product family item. When you load a bill of resources for a product family item, you can roll resource requirements from its member items. Later, you can use these resource requirements to analyze capacity requirements for each member item and for the product family item.
You can also specify a resource group to restrict the bill of resources load to key or critical resources.
