Critical Component Grid
Use the Critical Component grid to review critical components by parent item. The system sorts the grid by BOM level starting with the highest level number.
The grid displays the highest BOM level if multiple occurrences of the item exist in the BOM.
The table columns are QBE-enabled to provide additional search capabilities.
The following conditions apply to the Ending Available (EA) field:
If EA has a negative value during the planning horizon, then the system displays the red square icon.
If EA does not have a negative value during the planning horizon, then the system displays the green circle icon.
The EA Alert count equals the number of components that display a red square icon in the Ending Available column.
The grid displays the Days of Supply Current, Days of Supply After 1st Receipt, and Days of Supply After 2nd Receipt values and icons to represent inventory on hand, days until 1st receipt, and days until 2nd receipt. Hover text displays the number of days until 1st and 2nd receipts.
The DOS Alert count equals the number of components that display a red square icon in the columns related to days of supply.
You click the link in the Quantity On Hand field to access the Item Availability program (P41202).
If the past due supply quantity and safety stock are included in the on-hand inventory, the system displays the values in the Past Due Supply Quantity column and the Safety Stock column in gray colored font. If the past due supply quantity and safety stock are excluded from the on-hand inventory, the system displays the corresponding values in black colored font.
You access the Planning Console form using the following navigation:
Select the Planning Console option on the Row menu.
Click the Item Number link in the Item Number field in the Critical Component grid.
The system uses the current version of the Planning Console program.
You must save the changes made in the Supply/Demand Details grid to save the data to the plan as you navigate between the parent item and the component items.
If you change a value so that the EA chart gets a negative value for a lower level critical component (multi-level), then return to the Planning Console program and reinquire. The system refreshes the charts when you return to the Critical Component Summary and Planning Console forms. You must verify that the EA alert count is increased by a value of 1.
