Target

1. Type of bill of material to create

Specify a user-defined code (40/TB) 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.

2. Type of routing to create

Specify a user-defined code (40/TR) that indicates the type of routing. You can define different types of routing instructions for different uses. For example:

M: Standard Manufacturing Routing

RWK: Rework Routing

RSH: Rush Routing

You define the routing type on the work order header. The system then uses the specific type of routing that you define in the work order routing.

Product Costing and Capacity Planning systems use only M type routings.
