This chapter contains these topics:
-

| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Ingredient usability | Ingredient usability is a format you can set with processing options for the review programs. When you locate an ingredient, the forms display processes that use the ingredient, as well as the producible quantity of each. You can also enter an ingredient quantity and the system displays the amount of process item that can be produced using that ingredient quantity. The ingredient usability format also allows you to create a work order or view the item availability for the selected process item and quantity. |
| Viewing batch bills | When you have defined several batch processes for an item, the system displays them by batch size in a separate window. You must choose one to work with. |
| Generating reports | JD Edwards World recommends that you do not change the data item sequence for the reports. |
| Quantity per mode | The system displays the ingredients required for the process item requirements, but does not extend the calculations to the ingredients. The process item in this example would require 2 Ingredient X, 1 Ingredient Y, and 2 Ingredient Z, calculated by totaling each level of ingredients separately. |
| Extended quantity mode | The system factors the relationship between the levels of ingredients into the totals. It explodes the ingredient requirements down to the lowest level. Since each Ingredient X requires 2 of Ingredient Z, the process item would require 4 Ingredient Z. |
| Bill Comparison | When comparing bills of material, components are summarized by work center or item. This is done at a single level or multiple levels. |

| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mode | Indicates the display mode for the bill of material.
1 – Single Level Bill of Material. Shows level one (direct) components only. 2 – Multi-Level Bill of Material. Shows all levels of components, with proximity to the parent item indicated by level 1, 2, 3, and so forth. 3 – Indented Bill of Material. The multi-level bill of material with each level indented for differentiation. You can also set this value in the processing options. Form-specific information You can set the processing options to automatically enter the mode number that you use the most. |

| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bill Type | A user defined code (system 40, type TB), that designates the type of bill of material. You can define different types of bills of material for different uses. For example:
M – (Default)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. 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 control, product costing, and MRP processing. |

| Item Number | A number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or 3rd item number format. |
9.2 Printing Process Information
There are several reports you can generate to review bill of material information.
You can print process information in single, multi, and multi-level indented formats. Specify a process and print the ingredients for that process. If there is more than one process (in the case of different batch sizes), the program prints each process separately.
These reports include:
-
Single Level Ingredient Report
-
Multi-Level Ingredient Report
-
Where Used Ingredient Report
-
Ingredient Comparison Report
