Defining a Bill of Material
Access the Add a Bill of Material form.
- Item Number
Enter the number of the component that you are adding to the bill of material.
- Quantity
Enter the quantity of the component that is needed to produce the product.
- Prep Code (preparation code)
Select a preparation code from the UDC table to indicate what preparation a component had to undergo to be used on the bill of material for the product. The same component can appear on the bill of material with different preparation codes.
- Package UOM (package unit of measure)
Enter the unit of measure in which to express the Kanban for the component.
- Issue From Location
Enter the location from which the component is issued.
- Completed To Location
Enter the location to which the item is completed.
- Active Ingredient
Complete this field to indicate whether an item is an active component of a parent item. When the item is an active component, the system can calculate a parent item's expiration date by comparing all component expiration dates and choosing the earliest date.
- Fixed or Variable
Enter a UDC to indicate whether the quantity per assembly for an item on the bill of material varies according to the quantity of the parent item that is produced, or is fixed regardless of the parent quantity. This value also determines whether the component quantity is a percent of the parent quantity. Values are:
F: Fixed Quantity
V: Variable Quantity
%: For fixed-quantity components, Work Orders and Material Requirements Planning do not extend the component's quantity per assembly value by the order quantity.
- Issue Type Code
Enter a UDC that indicates how the system issues each component in the bill of material from stock. Values are:
I: Manual issue
F: Floor stock
B: Back flush
U: Super back flush
S: Subcontract item
Blank: Shippable end item
You can issue a component in more than one way within a specific branch/plant by using different codes on the bill of material and the work order parts list. The bill of material code overrides the branch/plant value.
- Line Type
Enter a line type to control how the system processes lines on a transaction. It controls the systems with which the transaction interacts, such as JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management. It also specifies the conditions under which a line prints on reports and is included in calculations. Values include:
S: Stock item
J: Job cost
N: Nonstock item
F: Freight
M: Miscellaneous charges and credits
- Effective From and Effective Through
Enter the effective date range to indicate:
The time frame during which a component on a bill of material is in effect.
The time frame during which a routing step is in effect as a sequence on the routing for the item.
The time frame during which a rate schedule is in effect.
The default value for the effective from date is the current system date. The default value for the effective through date is December 31 of the default year that is defined in the Data Dictionary for century change year.
You can enter future effective dates so that the system plans for upcoming changes. Items that are no longer effective in the future can still be recorded and recognized in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Capacity Requirements Planning. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Material Requirements Planning determines valid components by effectivity dates, not by the bill-of-material revision level. Some forms display data based on the effectivity dates that you enter.
