Structure Amendment Journal

You use this program to generate a report which lists details of all structures that have been added, changed, or deleted using the Structures and Routings program.

Report Options

Field Description
Options  
Reprint Select this to reprint journals that were previously printed.
Print additions Select this to print details of structures that have been added since the last time this report was printed.
Print changes Select this to print details of structures that have been changed since the last time this report was printed.
Print deletions Select this to print details of structures that have been deleted since the last time this report was printed.
Delete journal file after report

Select this to delete the journal file once the report has run.

Journals cannot be reprinted as they will no longer exist.
Print manufacturing u/m quantities

Select this to print the quantities on the report in the manufacturing unit of measure.

This applies when using Manufacturing unit of measure (Work in Progress Setup). Quantities are printed in the manufacturing unit of measure when a Manufacturing unit of measure is defined against the stock code (Stock Codes) and the Manufacturing unit of measure is used in the Bills of Materials.

Quantities are printed in the stocking unit of measure when this option is not enabled.

Output Options

These options enable you to apply a theme to the report and to define multiple output destinations for the report once it has been compiled (SRS Output Options).

Report Details

Only amendment journals not previously printed are listed on the report each time you generate this report (i.e. when not reprinting).

The BomAmendmentJnl table is used to extract the additions, changes, and deletions against a bill of materials. This table only saves the bill of material structure changes (i.e. changes to components) and therefore changes to operations are not included in the report.
