Understanding Daily Plan Preprocessing

To facilitate lean completions you can preprocess daily plan items before performing the completion transaction. During preprocessing, the system prepares the parts list, routing, and labor records for item completion.

Depending on which preprocessing program you use, you select data from the appropriate tables. This table lists the three preprocessing programs and the corresponding tables for data selection:

Preprocessing	Data Selection
BOM and Routing Detail Generation (RF31010A)	Production Master (FF31010)
BOM and Routing Detail Generation - DFM Plan (RF31013)	Daily Plan (FF34S002)
BOM and Routing Detail Generation - Item/Branch (RF31012)	Item Branch (F4102)

Important: You do not use batch bills of material and routings to generate parts lists and routings for lean transactions.

When you preprocess items to explode the bill of material, the system populates these tables with bill of material and routing information if that information is available:

• Lean Multi Level Bill of Material Header (F300210).

• Lean Multi Level Bill of Material Detail (F300211).

• Lean Multi Level Routing Detail (F300311).

The system uses this information for item completion.

Note: Preprocessing is recommended for companies that have large stable bills and routings or quick manufacturing times. Companies that change their bill of material and routing frequently might prefer to determine the multilevel bill of material and routing at the time of completion.
