Defaults

1. Enter the Screen Default type:

Specify the processing mode used in Purchase Order Consolidator to signify when specific orders are being processed. Values are:

1: Single level

2: Multi level

3: Multi-level indented

2. Enter the default Bill Type to be used.

Enter a value from UDC 40/TB (Bill Type) that designates the type of bill of material.

You can define different types of bills of material for different uses. For example:

Blank: M

M: 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 management, product costing, and MRP processing.
