Create Bills of Resources When You Build in More Than One Organization

Your bill of resources can include an item that you build in more than one organization.

Assume you stock and ship the SB111 item from the Denver distribution center but you build it at the Los Angeles factory, and you have several critical Items and resources in Los Angeles. You can create a bill of resources for the SB111 in Denver and it will include manufacturing components and resources from Los Angeles. It won't consider any sourcing rules that transfer supply because the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process already used these transfer rules to create the bill of resources.

If you mark the SB111 and its manufacturing components as critical on the work definition, and if the supply chain is on the primary path, then you can create a bill of resources even if you don't assign the SB111 to a Make At sourcing rule, and even if you don't enable the Search Components and Resources options on the ATP rule. The bill of resources takes precedence over the Search Components and Resources attribute. Promising will search for availability according to the manufacturing components in the bill of resources.

Promising will search for availability according to the components in the bill of resources.

Note

  • Your supplier creates the SB111 subassembly.
  • You transfer the SB111 to your Los Angeles factory, then use it to create the AS301 assembled item in Los Angeles.
  • You transfer the AS301 from Los Angeles to the Denver distribution center.
  • You ship it from Denver to your customer.
  • The asterisk means critical.
  • Strikethrough means you still need the item or resource, but the scheduled process doesn't consider it because its already part of the critical item. For example, in Los Angeles, the AS301 is critical. SB111, SB112, CM201, and CM202 are a part of the AS301, but they aren't critical. This is a good example where using a bill of resources is more efficient and saves you a lot of time. It isn't necessary to consider the items that aren't critical when you create a bill of resources.

Here are your sourcing rules.

Organization Item Local Sourcing Rule
Denver AS301 Transfer from Los Angeles
Los Angeles AS301 Make at Los Angeles
Los Angeles SB111 Transfer from Superfly Supply
Superfly Supply SB111 Make at Superfly Supply

Here are your lead times.

Critical Assembly Organization Lead Time
AS301 Los Angeles 4 days
SB111 Superfly Supply 2 days

Here are your transit times.

Source Destination Transit Time
Superfly Supply Los Angeles 1 day
Los Angeles Denver 1 day

Assume you set up all your sourcing rules, assignment sets, transit times, and so on. The scheduled process will create this bill of resources:

Assembly Assembled Quantity Organization Component Usage Quantity Lead Time Resource Resource Quantity
SB111 1 Superfly Supply - - 2 days R4 0.30 hours
AS301 1 Los Angeles CM153 1 unit 4 days - -
- 1 Superfly Supply SB111 1 unit 4 to make plus 1 to transfer - -

The lead time for the AS301 is:

  • 2 days to make the SB111.
  • 1 day to transfer it from Superfly Supply to Los Angeles.
  • 4 days to make the CM153.
