Entering Process Ingredients

Access the Enter Ingredients form.

Component Branch

Enter a secondary or lower-level business unit. The system uses the value that you enter to indicate that a branch or plant contains several subordinate departments or jobs. For example, assume that the component branch is named MMCU. The structure of MMCU might be:

Branch/Plant - (MMCU)

Dept A - (MCU)

Dept B - (MCU)

Job 123 - (MCU)

Line No. (line number)

Enter a number to specify how the system displays the sequence of components on a single-level bill of material. This number initially indicates the sequence in which a component was added to the bill of material. You can modify this number to change the sequence in which the components appear.

Percent Scrap

Enter the percentage of unusable component material that is created during the manufacture of a particular parent item. During Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP), Master Planning Schedule (MPS), and MRP generation, the system increases gross requirements for the component item to compensate for the loss. Enter percentages as whole numbers, for example, 5 percent as 5.0.

Note: Inventory shrink and scrap are compounded to calculate the total loss in the manufacture of a particular item. Accurate shrink and scrap factors support more accurate planning calculations.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system and MRP in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning system inflate component requirements by this percentage. This scrap percentage is unique to the relationship of one parent and one component.

P (partial quantity)

Indicates whether the total quantity is required to be available or if a partial quantity available is acceptable to commit when you specify component and substitute items on the bill of material. Example: 100 lb of item A is available: 150 lb of item A is needed.

If substitutes are not used and Partials Allowed is set to Y for item A, then the 100 lb is committed. If substitute processing is used, substitutes are checked next, and Partials Allowed on the substitute record are considered.

Ln Ty (line type)

Displays a code that controls how the system processes lines on a transaction. It controls the systems with which the transaction interfaces, such as Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management. It also specifies the conditions under which a line prints on reports, and it is included in calculations. Codes include:

S: Stock item.

J: Job cost.

N: Nonstock item.

F: Freight.

T: Text information.

M: Miscellaneous charges and credits.

W: Work order.

Frm Grd (from grade)

Enter a UDC (40/LG) that indicates the minimum grade that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items with grades that do not meet the minimum grade acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items with grades that do not meet the minimum acceptable level.

Thr Grd (through grade)

Enter a UDC (40/LG) that indicates the maximum grade that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items with grades that exceed the maximum grade acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items with grades that exceed the maximum grade acceptable.

Note: Use only grade or potency, not both.

From Potency

Enter a number that indicates the minimum potency or percentage of active ingredients acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items that do not meet the minimum acceptable potency. The system does not allow you to sell items that do not meet the minimum acceptable potency.

Thru Potency (through potency)

Enter a number that indicates the maximum potency or percentage of active ingredients that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items that have a potency that exceeds the maximum potency acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items that have a potency that exceeds the maximum potency acceptable.

F V (fixed variable)

Enter a code that indicates if the quantity per assembly for an item on the bill of material varies according to the quantity of the parent item produced or is fixed regardless of the parent quantity. This value also determines if the component quantity is a percent of the parent quantity. Values are:

F: Fixed Quantity.

V: Variable Quantity (default).

%: Quantities are expressed as a percentage and must total 100 percent.

For fixed-quantity components, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Order Processing system from Oracle and MRP in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning system do not extend the component's quantity per assembly value by the order quantity.

Is Cd (issue code)

Enter a code that indicates how the system issues each component in the bill of material from stock. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, it indicates how the system issues a part to a work order. Values are:

I: Manual issue.

F: Floor stock (there is no issue).

B: Backflush (when the part is reported as complete).

P: Preflush (when the parts list is generated).

U: Super backflush (at the pay-point operation).

S: Sub-contract item (send to supplier).

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.

Leadtime Offset

Enter the number of days that a part is needed before or after the start date of a manufacturing work order. The system adds the lead time offset days for the part to the start date of the work order to determine the actual date that the part is required. To indicate that a part is needed before the work order start date, enter the days as a negative number. To indicate how many days after the work order start date that the part is required, enter a positive number.

Feat Plan % (feature plan percent)

Enter the percentage of demand for a specified feature based on projected production. For example, a company might produce 65 percent of their lubricant with high viscosity, and 35 percent with low viscosity, based on customer demand.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning system uses this percentage to accurately plan for a process's co-products and by-products. Enter percentages as whole numbers, for example, enter 5 percent as 5.0. The default value is 0 percent.
