This chapter provides an overview of mass BOM) changes and discusses how to:
Define BOM mass maintenance codes.
Make BOM mass changes and create automatic revisions.
View and correct mass maintenance staged BOMs.
Process staged BOMs.
Production departments need the ability to apply mass maintenance additions and changes directly to BOMs. This functionality is similar to the mass maintenance features in PeopleSoft Engineering, but it is also available in PeopleSoft Manufacturing, because not all changes go through PeopleSoft Engineering.
Note. If you have PeopleSoft Engineering installed, you can use the engineering mass maintenance functionality, including making mass changes to MBOMs or EBOMs by either ECO or mass maintenance code (MMC). This PeopleSoft Manufacturing mass maintenance documentation assumes that you do not have PeopleSoft Engineering installed.
Mass maintenance enables you to apply, in a single MMC process, the same set of changes to many manufacturing BOMs. For example, you can change all occurrences of one component for another or even add components to an assembly. Without this functionality, you must change one BOM at a time. Mass maintenance is a powerful tool that can increase productivity tremendously.
The BOM mass maintenance code setup page enables you to define an MMC that can later be applied to an assembly range or assembly list. An MMC enables you to define a specific set of component changes such as reference designator and component dimension changes: a component can be added and associated BOM information can be changed. The MMC enables you to designate that specific multiple output values are to be changed or added. You can even designate that automatic revisions are to be generated for revision-controlled items. There is also an inquiry that enables you to view all BOM mass maintenance exceptions.
Note. In addition to generating mass maintenance changes to BOMs, the mass maintenance process enables you to create new revision numbers automatically, based on a revision scheme that you define for the business unit.

Quantity Rounding Exceptions in PeopleSoft Manufacturing
Use the BOM Mass Maintenance pages to create and maintain BOM mass maintenance codes. These pages enable you to specify multiple BOM component or output changes and additions, including substitute items. A MMC consists of search pages, which allow you to identify existing components that are to be impacted, Change pages that allow you to change instances of those specific components on specific BOMs, and add pages that allow for the introduction of new components and detail information. After you've used these pages to define MMC codes, you can implement the changes directly, using the Process BOM Mass Maintenance by MMC page.
Note. To maintain components en masse for revision-controlled BOMs, enter effective and obsolete dates for the revision on these pages, regardless of whether the revision is controlled by revision name or effectivity date.
Prior to accessing any MMC pages, you must select a business unit and a MMC. The MMC value can be generated automatically.
Important! Any MMCs created in PeopleSoft Manufacturing are available only in manufacturing, and MMCs created in PeopleSoft Engineering are available only in engineering.
Note. To provide greater flexibility when defining MBOMs, the Quantity field does not need to follow the quantity precision rules defined for the item. A warning is issued if you define a decimal quantity value for an item whose quantity precision value is a whole number. This is an example of when you may need the quantity precision flexibility. If 1 B0004 component is required to make 2 assembly A0001s, then when defining the BOM, the QPA for B0004 would be 0.5. If you applied the rounding rules to the QPA, then it would round the QPA for B0004 to 1, and thereby inflate the production costs.

Access the Search page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes).
Before you associate any changes or additions to an MMC, you can use the Search page to identify which specific outputs, components, or component revisions to change on the BOM.
When adding components, use the Search page to further identify the BOMs to which the new component should be added. For example, you may want to add component ID LT5001 only on BOMs that already have a component ID called LT5000 and a 12/31/97 obsolete date or perhaps where you already have component ID LT5000 and LT5001 defined. Similarly, you can use the Search page to further identify to which BOMs the new output should be added.
Note. On these pages, the fields that appear vary, depending on the choice of values in the required Sequence Type field. The page examples that you see are based on the value Component having been selected in the Sequence Type field. However, if you select Output, the system doesn't display the component ID, component revision, quantity, yield, position, if the item is supplied by a subcontractor, if the item is non-owned, or if it is a teardown item. It also does not display the dimensions, reference designators, and substitutes. Instead, it displays the output item, output type, output quantity, resource allocation percentage, and cost allocation percentage fields.
Auto Revision |
Select this check box to apply schemes for this mass maintenance code that automatically update revisions when a change event occurs. You actually generate the automatic revisions when you run the mass maintenance functionality. |
Mass Maint Seq (mass maintenance sequence) and Descr (description) |
Enter a mass maintenance sequence number and its description. The mass maintenance sequence number enables you to set up more than one set of changes for a single mass maintenance code. The sequence number determines the order in which the changes are applied. Note. The maximum number of sequence numbers that you can enter for a specific mass maintenance code is 20. |
Sequence Type |
Select Component or Output. If you select Component, enter the component search values. This optionally includes standard BOM fields such as Component ID, Comp Rev (component revision), Op Seq(operation sequence), Eff Date, (effectivity date), Obs Date (obsolete date), and quantity Per. The system searches for values that meet, at the same time, all of the criteria that you enter. Note. The effective date and obsolete date that you enter indicates the precise date on which the component becomes effective or obsolete on the BOM. If you select Output as the sequence type, then you can, optionally, select the output item and output type. You can also enter an output quantity, resource percentage, and cost allocation percentage. If you don't want to change a specific component, then leave the Component ID field blank, and select criteria based on the other fields. If you leave any field on the Component Search page blank, the system searches for BOM components without considering the blank search field. For example, if you leave Component ID blank and just enter a yield of 50, then all components with a yield of 50 are selected. To search for multiple components or outputs within a sequence, use the Where Search Values Are group box to enter "and" searches for more than one component or output on a BOM. |
Update Flag |
While searching for BOMs that contain multiple components or outputs, you may only want to actually make changes to a subset of all components or outputs. Select this check box to indicate which components or outputs you want updated by the Mass Maintenance process. |
Access the Manufacturing Assembly/Component Matches page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Search. Click the Matches link ).
Count |
Click this button to view the number of assemblies that match the search criteria that you entered. The page displays MBOM totals. These values are the number of MBOMs that will be affected, assuming that you plan to perform mass maintenance processing for all BOMs in the business unit that meet the search criteria. The actual MBOMs to be changed can be determined by assembly list, by range, when the mass maintenance code is applied later. Note. If you anticipate that a large number of BOMs are going to be affected by the search criteria, click the Count button before attempting to view the BOMs, to avoid viewing too much data online. |
View BOMs |
Click this button to view manufacturing assembly matches to the criteria that you entered. This display of assembly matches lists the assemblies that can be affected by this mass maintenance sequence. When the mass maintenance code is applied later, this list of assemblies can be further restricted, by supplying a range of assemblies, a specific list of assemblies, or an ECO that contains assemblies with BOM changes. If you selected Output as the sequence type on the Search page, the assembly matches display the output item and output type instead of the component ID. |
Access the Reference Designators - Search page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Search. Click the Ref Desigs link).
For a given sequence, you can search using multiple reference designators. If you enter more than one reference designator, the system searches for BOM components, using a logical "and" between reference designators. To search references designators using an "or" logical, use multiple sequences.
Access the Component Substitutes - Search page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Search. Click the Substitutes link).
You can narrow the search by using all or any combination of the substitute item search criteria.
Sub Item (substitute item) |
Enter a value to search for a specific component substitute on a BOM. To search for a specific component substitute with a particular priority, then enter both the sub-item and the priority. To search for a specific component substitute with a particular conversion rate, enter both the sub-item and the conversion rate. |
From Date and To Date |
Enter values for these fields to narrow the search. |
Access the Change page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Change).
Use this page to change values or obsolete the components specified on the Search page.
Component ID |
Enter a new value if you intend to change the Component ID field. Note. This would typically be done for correcting BOMs. If you intend to keep the history of a component change, you should leave this field blank. |
Output Item and Output Type |
If you selected Output, you can enter the required output change to data on this page. The effectivity dates operate in the same manner as they do for a component sequence type. |
Using Automatic Revisions and Effectivity Dates
Eff Date (effective date) and Obs Date (obsolete date) |
These values determine the specific effectivity date changes mass maintenance will make to the BOM for the searched components. For example for obsolete components, leave the effective date value blank, and specify an obsolete date or use the second field next to the Obs Date field to derive an obsolete date for the component. In the second field you can select Prior Date or Schd Date for the obsolete date. If you select Schd Date for the effective date, at process time, the system translates this into the process run date. |
Obs Date (obsolete date) |
Select one of these values:
|
Auto Revision |
If this check box is selected, and you specify the schedule date for both the effective date and the obsolete date. The system displays a warning that the component will be effective for only one day. |
Note. You can enter only one effective date. Therefore, if you specify a calendar date and then select Schd Date, the system clears the calendar date. Similarly, if you select a Schd Date and then enter a calendar date, the system clears the scheduled date. The Obs Date fields operate in the same manner.
This table lists the automatic revision impact that the second set of Eff Date and Obs Date fields have on both the revisions and the dates reflected on the BOMs. This example applies only to items that have been defined as revision-controlled on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing: General page. Also, there is an example of how the dates will change on the BOM if the schedule date is 06/15/03 and the newly created revision is the latest revision for the item.
Change Obsolete Date to |
None |
Scheduled Date |
Prior Date |
When Effective Date = None |
Creates new automatic revision. There is no BOM component effectivity date change. Example: Both of the dates in the Eff Date and Obs Date fields are unchanged. |
Creates new automatic revision. The system changes the obsolete date on the selected BOMs to the obsolete date of the newly added automatic revision. Example: The value in the Eff Date field is unchanged; the value in the Obs Date field is 12/31/2099. (The obsolete date of the new revision added on 6/15/03). |
Creates new automatic revision. The system changes the obsolete date on the selected BOMs to the obsolete date of the revision just prior to the newly added automatic revision. Example: The value in the Eff Date field is unchanged; the field value in the Obs Date field is 06/14/03 (one day before new revision is active). |
When Effective Date = Schd Date |
Creates new automatic revision. The system changes the effective date of the BOM. Example: The value in the Eff Date field is 06/15/03. (This is the start date of new revision.) The obsolete date is unchanged. |
Creates new automatic revision. The system changes the BOM effective date to the Mass Maintenance Code process run date. The system changes the obsolete date on the selected BOMs to the obsolete date of the new revision. Example: The value of the Eff Date field is 06/15/03. (This is the start date of new revision.) The value in the Obs Date field is 12/31/2099. |
This combination is not allowed, because it would cause the effective date of the component to be after the due date. You must select another combination. |
As you can see from this table, with the exception of the schedule date and prior date combination, all scenarios are valid and lead to the automatic generation of revisions for revision control and automatic revision items.
This table lists items that have not been defined as using automatic revisions.
Change Obsolete Date to |
None |
Scheduled Date |
Prior Date |
When Effective Date = None |
There is no component effective date mass change. Example: Both of the dates in the Eff Date and Obs Date fields are unchanged. |
The system changes the obsolete date on the selected BOMs to the Mass Maintenance Code process run date. Example: The value of the Eff Date field is unchanged; the value of the Obs Date field is 06/15/03. |
The system changes the obsolete date on the selected BOMs to the date prior to the Mass Maintenance Code process run date. Example: The value in the Eff Date field is unchanged; the value in the Obs Date field is 06/14/03. |
When Effective Date = Schd Date |
The system changes the BOM effective date to the Mass Maintenance Code process run date. Example: The value in the Eff Date field is 06/15/00; the value in the Obs Date field is unchanged. |
The system changes the BOM effective date and the obsolete date to the Mass Maintenance Code process run date. Example:The Eff Date field is 06/15/00; the value in the Obs Date field is 06/15/00. |
This combination is not allowed. You must select another combination. |
Access the Component Dimensions - Change page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Change. Click the Dimensions link).
Enter the existing dimension on the Component Dimensions - Search page (optional), and then enter a new value on the Component Dimensions - Change page. Both pages are accessed by clicking buttons on the appropriate page. Entering the existing dimension on the Component Dimensions - Search page is necessary only when it needs to be part of the search criteria. For example, to change the weight for all occurrences of component LT5000 to 10, enter 10 on the Change page. If it should be changed only where its current weight is 9, then enter 9 on the Search page and 10 on the Change page.
Access the Reference Designators - Change page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Change. Click the Ref Desigs link).
To add, change, or delete reference designators, specify the reference designators on the Reference Designators - Search page only if it needs to be part of the search criteria.
Otherwise, use the Reference Designators - Change page to specify an Action of Add, Change, or Delete. When adding, specify only the new reference designator; when deleting, specify only the reference designator to be deleted; and when changing, specify the current and new reference designators.
Access the Component Substitutes - Change page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Change. Click the Substitutes link).
Action |
Select one of these values:
Adding, changing, and deleting component substitutes works in a similar fashion as the reference designators, except that you have more information to maintain. If adding a new substitute, specify all the required new values. If deleting a substitute, specify as many of the current values as necessary to perform the delete. If you are changing substitute information, enter the current and new values. For example, to delete all occurrences of LT5001 as a substitute, then enter only LT5001 as the substitute item. To delete only the substitute LT5001, if it has priority 1, then enter LT5001 as the substitute item and 1 as the priority. |
Current Values
Substitute Item ID |
This is the current default value that comes from the business unit. |
Priority, Conversion Rate, From Date, and To Date |
If deleting a substitute, specify as many of the current values to perform the deletion. For example, to delete all occurrences of LT5001 as a substitute, then only enter LT5001 as the substitute item ID. If you only want to delete the substitute LT5001 if it has priority 1, then enter LT5001 as the substitute item ID and 1 as the priority. If changing substitute information, enter the current values. |
New Values
New Substitute Item |
Enter the value for the new substitute component. If you're adding a new substitute, you must specify all of the required new values. |
New Priority, New From Date, New To Date, New (conversion), and Rate |
If you want to change the parameters of the new substitute item, enter values where applicable. Otherwise, any values that you don't specify here for the new substitute item priority, effective dates, and conversion rate remain unchanged on the BOM. You can also change the parameters for the original item here. Enter only the fields that you want to change. |
Access the Add page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Add).
Note. Automatic revision operates only for those items that are defined as using automatic revisions with the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing: General page.
Component ID |
Enter a component if you selected Component as the sequence type on the BOM Mass Maintenance Code - Search page. Enter associated values that you want to add to the selected BOMs that meet the search criteria specified with the Component Search page. You can add multiple components per Mass Maint Seq (mass maintenance sequence) code. You can also add a placeholder item as a component. If the MMC is later applied to manufacturing BOMs that don't allow placeholders, the process indicates that BOM change as an exception, and the BOM won't be changed. |
Output Item and Output Type |
If you selected a Output as the sequence type on the BOM Mass Maintenance - Search page, you must enter values and any additional required output data. |
Note. The values that you select on these pages are subject to the same validation checks that apply to any MBOM component or output value. Some of these checks occur when you create the mass maintenance code, and the remaining validation checks occur when the MMC is applied.
See Also
Access the Component Substitutes - Add page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, BOM Mass Maintenance Codes, Add. Click the Substitutes link).
|
Click the Copy Substitute Pushbutton to display all valid substitute items for the business unit. |
To add all valid substitute items for the business unit, click OK.
If you don't want to add all valid substitute items for the business unit, enter each individual substitute item that you want to add. In addition, enter the priority, from date, to date, and conversion rate for each substitute.
Note. Substitute items must be unique for the item. You can't enter the same item twice as a substitute with different dates. For example, substitute A with effective dates from 01/01/99 to 02/01/99 and substitute A with effective dates from 02/01/00 to 08/30/00 couldn't be substitutes for the same item. In this case, define a different substitute for the second set of effective dates.
Example: Mass BOM Changes
To better understand how you can use these three pages to effect desired mass change, let's look at an example.
To make a component obsolete on several BOMs and introduce another component in its place:
Create an MMC code by entering the search criteria (with the Search page) that identifies the component you want to make obsolete.
Then, on the Change page, specify the date that the component is to become obsolete (or select an effective date or obsolete date value).
Add the new component information on the Add page.
This includes required information such as the operation sequence and effective date for the new component.
If the new component requires dimension/reference designator/substitute information, add the information (with the reference designator/reference designator/substitute button), as required.
Run the Process BOM Mass Maint by MMC page.
You can make BOM mass changes and create automatic revisions using MMCs.
To create automatic revisions using the mass maintenance by the Mass Maintenance Codes process:
Define the MMC using the BOM Mass Maintenance component.
Run the Mass Maintenance by MMC process.
The system creates a new revision effective on the Mass Maintenance by MMC process run date.
Access the Mass Maint Code Options page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, Apply BOM Mass Changes by MMC, Mass Maint Code Options).
Unit and Mass Maintenance Code |
Enter values to apply to a range or list of assemblies. If the MMC has been set to include automatic revisions, then the system automatically creates revisions. Revisions are effective as of the run date of this process or the date that you enter in the Auto Revision Effective Date field. Note. Only items that have been defined as revision-controlled with automatic revisions and also set up to use auto revisions (with the BOM Mass Maintenance - Search page) will be auto-revision incremented. |
Auto Revision Effective Date |
Enter the effective date to be used by all new auto-revisions that are created in this process run. If this field is left blank, then today's date is used as the new revision effective date. Keep in mind that all revisions within one process run will use the same date. If the date entered in this field provides a date that is earlier than an existing revision, then the revision will be given an obsolete date. Obsolete dates are based on the effectivity of the next revision. However, the most effective way to tie component obsolescence and new component effectivity to auto-revisions is to take advantage of the Schedule Date or Prior Date options offered on the Change page or the Add page of the BOM Mass Maintenance Codes component. This will eliminate possible errors caused by user-entered dates that do not correspond with the effective date selected for the new revisions. |
Update Options |
Select an update option. Values are:
Note. When running Mass Maintenance by ECO to create new revisions only, you must run the process using the Validate and Update value to create new revision numbers. |
Staged BOM Data Option |
Select an option to determine what should be done with the data that was used during the Mass Maintenance process:

Validation Checks
All requested changes made with the Process BOM Mass Maintenance by MMC page are validated before any MBOM changes are made. The system checks the interaction of all components and outputs on the product structure: these same checks are made within the BOM maintenance pages.
Access the Mass Maintenance Exceptions - Mass Maint Except page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, Mass Maintenance Exceptions, Mass Maint Except).
Use this page to review the mass maintenance exceptions.
Click the Count button to view the number of exceptions.
After you've reviewed the exceptions and made any needed changes to the BOMs or mass maintenance data, you can then re-run the Mass Maintenance process.
As part of the Mass Maintenance process, you can correct BOM messages with data errors using the Staged BOMs pages. You can view each BOM message and correct the errors using these pages. You can then change the status to reprocess and submit the BOM for reprocessing immediately or use the Process Staged BOMs process to reprocess a range of BOMs.
This section discusses how to:
View the staged BOM status.
Correct staged BOM summary errors.
Correct staged BOM multiple output summary errors.
Access the Update Staged BOM Details - BOM Status page (Manufacturing Definitions, BOMs and Revisions, BOM Mass Changes, Update Staged BOM Details, BOM Status).
BOM State |
The value that appears is Manufacturing. The BOM state must be valid or the system considers the message an error. |
BOM Code |
Enables you to assign a primary and up to 98 alternate BOMs. There must be a BOM code or the system considers the message an error. |
Status |
Indicates the eligibility of this BOM for further processing. You can receive BOM error messages with any of these statuses:
|
BOM Type |
Displays the BOM type. Values are Production or Rework. Production BOMs are used as the basis for manufacturing assemblies. Use rework BOMs when you have a standard rework process where you include additional components to repair BOMs. The BOM type must be valid or the system considers the message an error. |
If you are correcting multiple messages, you can manually change the error status of each message to Reprocess after you've corrected the data. Then run the BOM Loader process to reprocess the data for multiple messages. The system changes reprocess and new messages to the complete status after confirming that there are no errors in the message.
To correct a single message, select the Reprocess check box, to set the message status to Reprocess, and click OK or Apply to initiate the validation background process.
Messages
In the Messages group box, the system displays the error message and the result of the message.
This page lists all of the errors and warnings for the BOM, whether it's for the overall BOM, for a specific component, or for output. The Result column indicates the severity of the message: W indicates a warning and doesn't stop the BOM from being valid, and E indicates an error and must be fixed for the BOM to be valid.
