To define assembly items, use the Assemblies Maintenance (BOM_MAINTENANCE) component.

Page Name

Definition Name

Usage

Assemblies - Summary Page

EN_BOM_MAINT

Assemblies - Component Notes Page

EN_COMP_TEXT

Field or Control

Definition

Op Seq (operation sequence)

Enter the sequence in which the component is assembled. This value is informational in PeopleSoft CRM. Operation sequence is used primarily in PeopleSoft Manufacturing environments.

Quantity and Per

Enter the quantity of the component that is required for each assembly or order of the end item, in the standard unit of measure (UOM) of the end item. The quantity is used primarily in PeopleSoft Manufacturing environments.

Definition

Assembly Qty (assembly quantity)

Enter the end item quantity in the standard UOM of the item as you defined it on the Item Definition page. In general, set the assembly quantity to 1 and enter the component quantity that is included in one unit of the end item. However, if you typically install and service the end item in quantities greater than one, you might define a service assembly in terms of the normal installation and service quantity.

For example, a manufacturer and distributor of speakers might produce and stock speakers in inventory as single units. Yet because a customer always buys at least two speakers at a time, the speaker company might choose to set up a service assembly with an assembly quantity of two.

Component ID

Select a service assembly component. You must establish the component as an active item using the Item Definition page or the Item Master enterprise integration point. In addition, the component item must conform to these restrictions:

  • The component item cannot be the same as the end item.

  • The effectivity period, which the effective and obsolete dates specify for the component, cannot overlap with other rows for the same component ID.
