How Bills of Resources are Generated

This topic provides some examples of how bills of resources are generated by the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process.

The following table displays the full supply chain bill and the critical status that we'll use in Example 1 and Example 2:

Example 1: Single Bill of Resources in a Manufacturing Organization

In this example, a bill of resources is created from a multiple-level bill in a single manufacturing organization where:

  • M1 is the manufacturing organization

  • AS301 is an assembly item and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • CM153 is a component used in AS301 and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • SB111 is a subassembly with 2 units used in AS301

  • R4 is a resource with 0.25 hour used per unit in SB111 and marked as a Bottleneck in the Resources table

Note that the Resource Quantity for resource R4 is 0.5 hour. Two units of subassembly SB111 are required, even though the subassembly isn't included in the bill of resources.

Example 2: Multiple Bills of Resources in a Manufacturing Organization

In this example, bills of resources are created from a multiple-level bill in a single manufacturing organization where:

  • M1 is the manufacturing organization

  • AS301 is an assembly item and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • CM153 is a component used in AS301 and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • SB111 is a subassembly with 2 units used in AS301 and is marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • R4 is a resource with 0.25 hour used per unit in SB111 and marked as a Bottleneck in the Resources table

Note that the Resource Quantity for resource R4 is .25 hour in the bill of resources for subassembly SB111.

Example 3: Multiple Bills of Resources in Multiple Manufacturing Organizations

In this example, multiple bills of resources are created for multiple manufacturing organizations where:

  • AS301 is an assembly item and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • CM153 is a component used in AS301 and marked as a Critical Component in the Items table

  • SB111 is a subassembly with 2 units used in AS301 and is marked as a Critical Component in M1 and S1 in the Items table

  • R4 is a resource with 0.25 hour used per unit in SB111 and marked as a Bottleneck in the Resources table

The following table displays the full supply chain bill and the critical status that we'll use in this example:

Subassembly SB111 is produced in organization S1 and transferred to M1 where it's a component in assembly AS301. In this case, the bill or resources for subassembly SB111 is created in organization S1 instead of M1:
