Viewing and Correcting BOM Messages Using Staged BOMs

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 MMC Staged BOM process to reprocess a range of BOMs.

This topic discusses how to view and correct BOM messages using staged BOMs.

Field or Control

Description

BOM State

Displays Manufacturing or Engineering. The BOM state must be valid, or the system considers the message an error.

BOM Code

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:

  • Complete: You cannot update the staged results for this BOM because the BOM has already been updated in the system.

    You can only view the BOM.

  • Error: There is at least one data validation error in the staged results for this BOM. You can change the status to Cancelled or Reprocess.

  • In Process: Processing of a transaction has been initiated.

  • Incomplete: The transaction is still being created by the transaction pages.

    The status changes to New when the transaction is ready to be processed by the background processes. The system won't process an incomplete transaction.

  • New: The staged results are valid, but the original BOM hasn't been updated yet. The BOM is eligible for update and reprocessing. You can change the status to Cancelled or Reprocess.

  • Reprocess: When you correct errors using the Transaction Maintenance Detail pages, change the BOM status to Reprocess.

BOM Type

Indicates whether you have received a Production or Rework BOM. Production BOMs are used as the basis for manufacturing assemblies. Rework BOMs are used 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 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 scroll area, the system displays the error message, the result of the message, and the BOM details for the message.

This page lists of all the errors and warnings for the BOM, whether for the overall BOM, a specific component, or output. The Result column indicates the severity of the message. W indicates a warning and doesn't stop the BOM from being valid. E indicates an error and must be fixed for the BOM to be valid.

Use the Update Staged EBOM Details - Summary page (EN_TRN_BOM_HDR) to view and update the results from a BOM Mass Maintenance process.
