Setting Up Critical Component Items from a Multi-Level BOM

To set up critical component items from a multi-level BOM:

1. Access the Critical Components Bill of Material Inquiry - Multi Level form.

   Form Name	Form ID	Navigation
   Critical Components Bill of Material Inquiry - Multi Level	W34X020A	Multi-Facility Setup (G3443). Planning Console Critical Component Items (P34X010). On the Work With Planning Console Critical Component Items form, click Multi Level BOM Inq. Alternatively, select Multi Level BOM Inq from the Form menu.

2. Enter values in these fields, as applicable:

   Number

   Enter a number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in short, long, or third item number format.

   This is a required field.

   Branch/Plant

   Enter an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit can be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant. You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting.

   Alternatively, you can specify the branch/plant in an enhanced query.

   Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

   This is a required field.

   Batch Quantity

   Enter a number that represents the quantity of finished units that you expect this bill of material or routing to produce. You can specify varying quantities of components based on the amount of finished units that have been produced. For example, assume that one ounce of solvent is required per unit for a maximum of 100 units of the finished product. If 200 units are produced, then you need two ounces of solvent per unit of the finished product. You can set up batch quantities for both 100 and 200 units of the finished product by specifying the appropriate amount of solvent per unit.

   UOM (unit of measure)

   Enter a user-defined code (00/UM) that indicates the quantity in which to express an inventory item, for example, CA (case) or BX (box).

   As of Date

   Enter the date used for effectivity checking. Enter a specific date to display documents (orders, bills of material, routings, as applicable) that are effective on or after that date. The current system date is the default, but you can enter any future or past date.

3. Enter additional criteria, as applicable, using the QBE lines.

4. Click Find.

5. (Optional) On the Bill of Material Selection form, select a valid batch quantity.

6. Select the items that you want to add as critical component items.

7. Click OK.
