Type Bill of Material

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:

• 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.
