Loading a Bill of Resources
The load bills of resource process explodes all end assemblies to the bottom of the bill of material structure. It then rolls up the resource usage for each component and calculates the cumulative resource requirements for the bill of resource item.
You can load bills of resource for all items, a range of items, or models and options only. You can optionally choose a resource group when automatically generating your bills of resource, allowing you to calculate rough cut capacity plans for your key or critical resources only.
Note: You can automatically generate bills of resources by copying your current routing information when you load a bill of resources or create them manually.
To automatically load a bill of resources:
3. Enter the name of the Bill of Resource Set.
4. Enter Yes in Maintain Manual Additions if you want Oracle Capacity to consider any manual additions you have made to the bills of resources.
A manual addition is a new bill of resources requirement that you have added to your bill of resources.
5. Enter Yes in Maintain Manual Updates if you want Oracle Capacity to consider any manual updates you made to your bills of resources.
6. Select a Resource Group to calculate rough cut plans for a group of selected resources.
All items: Load bills of resources for all items. You must use this option the first time you load your bills of resources.
Models and option classes only: Load bills of resources for models and option classes only.
8. Enter Yes in Rollup MPS Items if you want to include multiple levels of MPS parts in your bills of resources. If you enter No, lower level MPS items are excluded when creating a bill of resource for a parent MPS item.
Attention: Oracle Capacity creates and maintains the parent MPS and component MPS bill of resources separately. If you enter Yes, all MPS items are included at multiple levels in the bill of material in one bill of resource for the parent item. A separate bill of resource is created for each additional MPS item. Use this option to calculate rough cut capacity requirements and avoid double counting requirements for an MPS.
9. Enter a beginning item in a range of system items in Item From. Oracle Capacity loads bills of resource from this value to the To value.
10. Enter an ending item in a range of system items in the To field. Oracle Capacity loads bills of resource from the Item From field to this value.
12. Choose Submit in the Load Bill of Resource window.
