8.1 Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management for Apparel Management
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system enables you to integrate all of the aspects of product data. This system provides basic data for other manufacturing systems. Bills of material (BOM), routings, and work center information are used throughout an organization.
The bill of material is the primary method for defining and communicating the structure of the product. A BOM identifies the manufacture of finished products (end items), subassemblies, and components. When you can create a bill of material, you define components, quantities, reference information, and additional information as necessary. The system uses a bill of material as a master list when generating the parts lists for work orders, cost roll-ups, lead-time roll-ups, and production scheduling.
After you have defined a style item's components using a bill of material, you must specify where each operation occurs and the sequence of operations that is necessary to manufacture the item. Work centers consist of people and machines in which routing operations occur. Routing instructions define the operations that are required to produce a style item and the lead time for a style item at each routing instruction step.
For an operation that is to be performed on a style item by an external supplier, you can define an outside routing operation. An external supplier may perform such outside operations as cutting, dyeing, or sewing. For an outside operation, a purchase order is required. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management system enables you to automatically generate purchase orders for outsourced operations on the routing instructions. You can generate the purchase order when you run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410). You can also enter a purchase order interactively after you have attached the routing to the work order.
After you set up the style item root level 0 and child style items in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system, you can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management system to set up bills of material, create routings, and set up outsource operations for the manufacture of style items.

8.2 Setting Up Bills of Material for Style Items
This section provides an overview of bills of material for style items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
-
Enter bills of material for style item root level 0.
-
Enter bill of material associations.
-
Enter bill of material usage.
-
Define bill of material exceptions.
-
Generate bills of material for child style items on demand.
-
Generate bills of material for child style items by batch.
-
Copy bills of material for style items.
8.2.1 Understanding Bills of Material for Style Items
A bill of material defines all the components that are included in the manufacture of a style item. For style items, you define the bill of material for the style item root level 0. The bill of material for the style item root level 0 cascades down to the lowest-level child style items.
|
Note: Style items use discrete manufacturing only. |
Style items are multilevel items with complex bills of material, for example, 100 styles with 5 colors, 5 sizes, and 3 fits creates 7500 child style items. Each child style item has a different bill of material because the components are based on attributes, such as size and color. Thus, one style can have 75 different bills of material.
When defining the bill of material for the style item root level 0 for the first time, you must use either the Style Item Master program (PCW51) or the Collection Item Master program (PCW54). The Style Item Master and Collection Item Master programs provide access to the Bill of Material for Style Items program (PCW12B), which in turn calls the Bill of Material Revisions program (P3002) for bill of material entry and update.
The Bill of Material for Style Items program enables:
-
Creation of the style item root level 0 bill of material.
-
Generation of multilevel inheritance and exceptions.
-
Association of components based on attributes.
-
Definition of usage of quantities for the components based on sizes.
-
Copying a bill of material.
You can create bills of material for child style items on demand using the Bill of Material for Style Items program (PCW12B) or by batch using the Create BOM for Child Style Items program (RCW53).
The system provides visual assistance on the Work With Bill of Material for Style Items form (WCW12BA) as color coding in the column headings. The color of the column headings changes according to the following statuses:
-
Blue is status 0.
The color is blue after you create the bill of material for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item but you have not yet created bills of material for the child style items.
-
Red is status 2.
The color is red after you make changes to the bill of material for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item without re-creating the bills of material for the child style items.
-
Black is status 9.
The color is black when all updates to the bill of material for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item have been proliferated to the child style items.
The system stores bill-of-material information for style items in the Bill of Material Association Header (FCW48) and Bill of Material Association Detail (FCW49) tables. The Bill of Material Master File table (F3002) is also populated with the multilevel bills of material.
This diagram illustrates the on-demand bill-of-material creation process for style items:
Figure 8-1 On-demand bill-of-material creation process for style items
Description of "Figure 8-1 On-demand bill-of-material creation process for style items"
When creating the bill of material, you enter the components that you need without accounting for an attribute such as color. An example is a jacket that is made of fabric, a zipper, and a lining.
You then further define the bills of material by creating component associations, which is an automated process to:
-
Associate colors of components with style items.
-
Associate sizes of components with style items.
The system supports 9 levels of associations and up to 30 values. You use the Bill of Material for Style Items program to define associations. The bill of material associations are stored in the Bill of Material Association Matrix table (FCW50).
You associate the bill of material with colors, such as black fabric, black lining, and black zipper. This diagram shows an example of color associations for a bill of material:
Figure 8-2 Bill of material associations by color
Description of "Figure 8-2 Bill of material associations by color"
You can also associate the size of components with style items. This diagram shows an example of size associations for a bill of material:
Figure 8-3 Bill of material associations by size
Description of "Figure 8-3 Bill of material associations by size"
Bill of material associations cannot be made based on level numbers. This diagram illustrates the errors that occur when you attempt to create associations by level number:
Figure 8-4 Incorrect associations by level number
Description of "Figure 8-4 Incorrect associations by level number"
Bill of material associations must be based on column position. This diagram illustrates associations by column position:
Figure 8-5 Associations by column position
Description of "Figure 8-5 Associations by column position"
See Working with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management for Apparel Management.
|
Note: For bill of material associations to work, the column position of a level of a BOM component must match the column position of the related level of the BOM parent. |
When you enter the quantity for components on the bills of material, you enter the quantity that is used for the majority of the bills of material. The bills of material for the lower-level child style items inherit the associations from the style item root level 0. Once you generate bills of material for the lowest-level child style items, you can use the Bill of Material Exception program (PCW34) to define exceptions at the desired level of the style item's bill of material. For example, an exception might be a different quantity of fabric based on size, a blue skirt with a black button, or using a 1/2 cm size button on a size extra small (XS) skirt.
After associations are created, you define usage. In usage, you define the quantity of components based on style item size and not by level in the style item structure. For example, component quantity is associated with sizes such as extra small (XS), small (S), and such. The quantity entered for the style item root level 0 is the default value for usage, but you can override the values. The bill of material usage is stored in the BOM Usage table (FCW51).
The style item root level 0 is always passed from the entry points of the Style Item Master (PCW51) and Collection Item Master (PCW54) programs to the Bill of Material for Style Items program, regardless of the level from which it was called. You use the Bill of Material Exception program to select the level of the style item to modify. The system also supports the use of substitute items.
You can run the Create BOM for Child Style Items program (RCW53) in batch to create the BOMs for the lowest-level child style items.
The creation of BOMs for child style items is different than the item creation process for style items. When you create BOMs for style items, the system creates BOM records for the lowest-level child style items only. The system does not create a BOM for items at an intermediate level because BOMs are not needed for intermediate-level style items. You can use the Bill of Material Exception program to create a BOM for an intermediate-level style item. The system uses the BOM of an intermediate-level style item to track exceptions to apply to lower-level style items.
In the manufacture of some style items, not all components are on the bill of material. For example, in the apparel industry, thread is generally not part of the bill of material. Thread is considered as a base foundation item and is purchased in bulk.
The bill of material is used to derive the cost of the style items. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system uses the base manufacturing cost functionality in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing and Manufacturing Accounting systems in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management suite from Oracle.
To maintain bills of material for style items, Oracle recommends that you perform maintenance through the Style Item Master and Collection Item Master programs to enable inheritance and maintain links between parent and child style items
When you copy a bill of material that already has multilevel bill-of-material definitions, the system copies the definitions for levels other than level 0. When you copy a style item with a different item structure, the system automatically disables the Copy associations and usages option and copies only the FCW48 and F3002 records.
When you delete a bill of material at the parent level, the Bill of Material for Style Items program deletes all records for the style item root level 0 and child style items from the FCW48, FCW49, FCW51, and F3002 tables. You use the Create BOM for Child Style Items program for both the deletion and creation of bills of material. When deleting bills of material, you define a version of the Create BOM for Child Style Items program in the processing options of the Style Item Master program. The version of the Create BOM for Child Style Items program defined in the Style Item Master program must have a specific data selection set.

8.3 Creating Routing Instructions for Style Items
This section provides an overview of routing instruction creation for style items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
-
Enter routing instructions for style item root level 0.
-
Generate routings for child style items.
-
Define routing instruction exceptions.
8.3.1 Understanding Routing Instruction Creation for Style Items
Routing instructions are the sequence of operations carried out in the process of manufacturing a style item. You use the Work With Style Routing Master program (PCW35) and Enter/Change Routing (P3003) to define the routing for the style item root level 0. The style item root level 0 is always passed into the Work With Style Routing Master program regardless of the level from which it is called in the Style Item Master (PCW51) or Style Items by Collection (PCW54) program.
The routings for the lowest-level child style items are copied from the style item root level 0. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system, the routing typically remains the same for the style item root level 0 as well as the child style items.
Routing instructions do not depend on attributes such as color or size. For example, the process for the production of a blue jacket is no different from that for a green jacket. The process also remains the same in regard to size because the process does not change for a jacket size of small (S) versus medium (M). Thus, child style items inherit the routing of the style item root level 0.
The system enables review and modification of child style item routings. You use the Routing Exception program (PCW36) to override the style item root level 0 routing at the child level through exception processing. The child style item has the same routing as the style item root level 0 except when:
-
One material is not used for a color or a size.
For example, a skirt lining is not used for the black color.
-
Manufacturing times differ for bigger versus smaller sizes.
For example, the number of hours required for the stitching operations.
The system provides visual assistance on the Work With Style Routing form as color coding in the column headings. The color of the column headings changes according to the following statuses:
-
Blue is status 0
The color is blue after you create the routing for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item but you have not yet created routings for the child style items.
-
Red is status 2
The color is red after you change the routing for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item without re-creating the routings for the child style items.
-
Black is status 9
The color is black when all updates to the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item routing have been proliferated to the child style items.
The system stores routing information in the Style Routing Master File (FCW52) and Routing Master File (F3003) tables.
This diagram illustrates the routing creation process for style items:
Figure 8-9 Routing creation process for style items
Description of "Figure 8-9 Routing creation process for style items"
Once the routing is created, the system uses standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne functionality.
If you use the Work With Style Routing Master program to delete a routing, then the system deletes the routings for the style item root level 0 or any level of the style item. The system deletes the routing records from the FCW52 and F3003 tables.
The system enables the use of outside operations for which a particular operation is outsourced to a vendor. For example, manufacturers in the apparel industry might outsource such manufacturing tasks as dyeing, cutting, and sewing. A specific operation sequence in the routing instructions is identified as an outside operation. After defining the routing steps, the system creates the required documents, such as a purchase order, for the outside operations.
8.3.2 Prerequisites
Before you complete the tasks in this section:

8.4 Setting Up Outsource Operations for Style Items
This section provides an overview of outsource operations for style items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
-
Set processing options for Exchange Rates for Style Item Outsource Operations (PCW62).
-
Set up exchange rates for style item outsource operations.
-
Set processing options for Copy to Outsource Operation Details for Style Items (RCW93). (Release 9.1 Update)
-
Create outsource operation details for style items.
-
Copy outsource operation details for style items.
8.4.1 Understanding Outsource Operations for Style Items
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system enables the use of outside operations in which a particular operation is outsourced to a vendor. The outsource operation is for a service. For example, manufacturers in the apparel industry might outsource such manufacturing tasks as dyeing, cutting, and sewing.
This diagram illustrates the outsource operations process for style items:
Figure 8-10 Outsource operations process for style items
Description of "Figure 8-10 Outsource operations process for style items"
A specific operation sequence in the routing instructions is identified as an outside operation. For example, if routing sequence 10 of style item JEA301 is defined as an outside operation, then the system creates style item JEA301*OP10. Both the stocking type and line type for style item JEA301 are set to X (outside processing).
After defining the routing steps, the system creates the required documents, such as a purchase order, for the outside operations.
Each time a new vendor or style item is set up, you must complete setup activities such as creating all style items, bills of material, routings, prices, cost records, and branch/plant relationships. To enable outsourcing of style items, the system:
-
Creates and maintains the *OP item.
-
Copies bills of material and routings.
-
Creates Item Branch/Plant records for the style item root level 0, all child style items, and all components.
-
Updates the item supplier and country of origin.
You use the Exchange Rates for Style Item Outsource Operations program (PCW62) to define exchange rates between currencies for style items. The value in the From Currency Code field on the Exchange Rates for Style Item Outsource Operations Detail form is the default value from the Currency Code From processing option.
You use the Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program (PCW93) to create the outside operations for style items by copying from a source branch/plant to a target branch/plant. The Source Branch/Plant field represents the logistics branch/plant. The Target Branch/Plant field represents the outside vendor to perform the outside operations.
The Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program copies and creates a *OP outside operation for the target branch/plant only if an outside operation is in the source branch/plant. If the Job Type field on the routing instruction for the outside operation is blank, then no routing is created. Also, the code in the Outsource Operation Code field on the Style Item Outsource Operation Details form and the code in the Job Type field in the routing instruction must match. If the codes do not match, then the system does not create the *OP items. The system does not display an error message.
If you leave the Multi Level BOM processing option on the Process tab of the Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program blank, then the system copies the multilevel bill of material for the style item. However, the system does not copy the bills of material for the components of the style item that was copied. For example, a style item has the following bill of material:
Figure 8-11 Style item bill of material example
Description of "Figure 8-11 Style item bill of material example"
Item 1 has a bill of material consisting of Component 1, Component 2, and Component 3. Component 3 has a bill of material consisting of Component 3_A and Component 3_B. Item 1 and Component 3 are style items with lower-level child style items.
On the Process tab of the Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items processing options, the Bill of Material processing option is left blank to process bills of material and the Multi Level BOM processing option is left blank to process multilevel bills of material.
When the Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program processes Item 1, the system copies the bill of material of Item 1 from the source branch/plant to the target branch/plant. It also copies the child style item records of Item 1 from the source branch/plant to the target branch/plant. The system copies only Component 1, Component 2, and Component 3 in the bill of material.
The system does not copy the bill-of-material records for the child items of Component 3 to the target branch/plant. If you want the bill of material records for Component 3, then you must run the Create Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program to copy the Component 3 records to the target branch/plant.
The Copy to Outsource Operation Details for Style Items program (RCW93) enables you to create outside operation items (*OP items) for style items along with item cost, item price, and item location. The Copy to Outsource Operation Details for Style Items report prints the No Data Selected message on the report if no records exist in the FCW93 table corresponding to the data selection.
The Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) creates outside operation (*OP) purchase orders if the system is setup to automatically create the purchase orders.
The manufacturer sends the work to the outside vendor and the vendor completes the work and sends it back to the manufacturer. The outsource work is applied to internal work orders.
|
Important: Use the outsource operation programs only if you have outside operations. |

Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for programs and reports.
8.4.6.1 Source
- 1. Target Branch/Plant (Required)
-
Specify the branch/plant that the system copies records to for style item outsource operations.
- 2. Type Bill of Material (Required)
-
Specify a user-defined code (40/TB) that designates the type of bill of material. You can define different types of bills of material for different uses. For example:
M: Standard manufacturing bill
RWK: Rework bill
SPR: Spare parts bill
The system enters bill type M in the work order header when you create a work order, unless you specify another bill type. The system reads the bill type code on the work order header to know which bill of material to use to create the work order parts list. Material requirements planning (MRP) uses the bill type code to identify the bill of material to use when it attaches MRP messages. Batch bills of material must be type M for shop floor management, product costing, and MRP processing.
- 3. Type of Routing (Required)
-
Specify a user-defined code (40/TR) that indicates the type of routing. You can define different types of routing instructions for different uses. For example:
M: Standard Manufacturing Routing
RWK: Rework Routing
RSH: Rush Routing
You define the routing type on the work order header. The system then uses the specific type of routing that you define in the work order routing.
Product Costing and Capacity Planning systems use only M type routings.
- 4. Update Supplier (Source Item Branch/Plant)

-
Currency Code
-
Effective Date
-
Expiration Date
-
-
Click OK.
- Target Branch/Plant
-
An alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant. You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department. Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.
- Outsource Operation Code
-
A user-defined code (06/G) that identifies the jobs within your organization. You can associate pay and benefit information with a job type and apply that information to the employees who are linked to that job type.
For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management, the system compares the code in the Outsource Operation Code field to the code in the Job Type field of the outside operation routing step for the source branch/plant. The system verifies that the job type codes in the Outsource Operation Code and Job Type fields match during the outsource operation process.
- Component Branch/Plant
-
A secondary or lower-level business unit. The system uses the value that you enter to indicate that a branch or plant contains several subordinate departments or jobs. For example, assume that the component branch is named MMCU. The structure of MMCU might be:
Branch/Plant - (MMCU)
Dept A - (MCU)
Dept B - (MCU)
Job 123 - (MCU)
- Issue Type Code
-
A code that indicates how the system issues each component in the bill of material from stock. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, it indicates how the system issues a part to a work order. Values are:
I: Manual issue
F: Floor stock (no part is issued)
B: Backflush (when the part is reported as complete)
P: Preflush (when the parts list is generated)
U: Super backflush (at the pay-point operation)
S: Sub-contract item (send to supplier)
Blank: Shippable end item
You can issue a component in more than one way within a specific branch/plant by using different codes on the bill of material and the work order parts list. The bill of material code overrides the branch/plant value.
- Supplier Number
-
The address book number of the preferred provider of this item.
- Work Center
-
A code that represents a high-level business unit. Use this code to refer to a branch or plant that might have departments or jobs that represent lower-level business units subordinate to it. For example:
Branch/Plant (MMCU)
Dept A (MCU)
Dept B (MCU)
Job 123 (MCU)
Business unit security is based on the higher-level business unit.
- Queue Hours
-
The total hours that an order is expected to be in queue at work centers and moving between work centers. The system stores this value in the Item Branch table (F4102). You can calculate this value using the Leadtime Rollup program or you can enter it manually. When you run the Leadtime Rollup program, the system overrides manual entries and populates the table with calculated values.
- Operation Price
-
The unit cost of one item, as purchased from the supplier, excluding freight, taxes, discounts, and other factors that might modify the actual unit cost that you record when you receive the item.
