Select this to maintain the proposed structure and routing.

A warning message is displayed if the stock item's structure and routing has not been enabled by an ECO. If you select to ignore the warning and continue, then this option is disabled (i.e. you cannot maintain the proposed structure and routing).

This is disabled when the ECC Stock Control level is set to Stock code (Bill of Materials Setup).

Note that child nodes must be expanded manually by clicking on them. This option merely re-expands the nodes previously manually expanded and does not expand all levels of the treeview.

If all nodes are expanded, then the entire treeview is exported. If only some nodes are expanded, then only the information for the expanded nodes is exported.

This is used in the Factory Scheduling module. It enables you to indicate when the subsequent operation can start by transferring a quantity or percentage from the current operation.

For example, if the job quantity is 50 and you do not use the transfer quantity facility, then the next operation will only start when the 50 are completed in the current operation. However, if you set the transfer method to Quantity and enter 10, then 10 is transferred to the next operation. So, the next operation can start once 10 have been completed in the current operation.

Indicate the work center in which the operation must be performed.

Depending on whether you specified an internal or subcontract work center, the fields that can be defined changes accordingly.

Indicate the quantity of product manufactured during the start up period and is deducted from the actual quantity to be manufactured when the run time is calculated

This quantity must be less than the quantity in the Economic batch quantity field against the stock item (Stock Codes). If it is not, then the accuracy of the BOM calculations is affected.

For example, if the run time method against the work center is defined as Unit, then you will need to enter the Unit run time. If the method is defined as Rate or Block, then you will need to enter the Quantity and Time taken, for the unit run time to be calculated automatically.

You indicate the maximum number of decimals to print on reports for operation times using the Style for labor times option (Company Maintenance).

There are two fields for the run time in the BomOperations table:

The number of productive units is the lowest common denominator in which the productive unit capacity of a work center is grouped within a factory.

Indicate the number of pieces involved in the operation. This enables you to mark quantities in a measure that is meaningful to you.

For example: If the job is to make bicycle wheels and this operation is to make spokes for the wheels, then you could indicate that 30 spokes (i.e. number of pieces) are required for each wheel.

Additionally, when making spokes for a bicycle wheel, the operator could mark the number of spokes produced during the operation enabling the system to calculate the number of wheels for which the operator has manufactured spokes.

You can select the browse icon to load the BOM Work Center Rates program to view the rates for each rate indicator currently defined against the work center. This only applies if you entered a valid work center code in the Work Center field.

Indicate whether this is a milestone operation.

You can use the preference: Default to milestone when adding operation to always set this option to selected.

Subcontract operations are always marked as milestone operations, but they are not used as a trigger to post to previous non-milestone operations. It is assumed that the operation immediately prior to a subcontract operation would be set as a milestone to allow for some control over materials leaving to be worked on by the subcontractor.

This can be printed on your factory documentation and is also used in the SYSPRO Factory Scheduling module when you run the SFS Finite Scheduler and the SFS Advanced Scheduler.

This can be printed on your factory documentation and is also used in the SYSPRO Factory Scheduling module when you run the SFS Finite Scheduler and the SFS Advanced Scheduler.

This can be printed on your factory documentation.

You can only access these fields if you enabled the option: Progressive scrap (Bill of Materials Setup).

You cannot maintain the scrap percentage or quantity once the job is confirmed, or allocations have been issued.

If you defined a fixed quantity of a component per parent, then any progressive scrap quantity or percentage defined against an Operation through which the component moves is not applied.

Following is an analogy explaining the difference between progressive scrap and material scrap:

Assume you manufacture action men dolls.

If you know that you scrap about 10% of the arms whilst attaching them to the body, then you define this as material scrap to raise the quantity per on each parent part.

If you know that you damage 10% of the body whilst attaching the arms, then you would define this as progressive scrap against the operation which attaches the arms.

It enables you to indicate when the subsequent operation can start by transferring a quantity or percentage from the current operation.

For example, if the job quantity is 50 and you do not use the transfer quantity facility, then the next operation will only start when the 50 are completed in the current operation. However, if you set the transfer method to Quantity and enter 10, then 10 is transferred to the next operation. So, the next operation can start once 10 have been completed in the current operation.

Select this to assign user-defined text to operations held against the parent stock code.

If you indicated that standard narrations are required for operations (Bill of Materials Setup) then you can select whether to enter Specific narration text for the operation, or retrieve text assigned to a standard narration code.

Show

Select this to view the run time method and capacity calculations for the operation.

This indicates the operation number you are currently maintaining.

Indicate the work center in which the operation must be performed.

Depending on whether you specified an internal or subcontract work center, the fields that can be defined changes accordingly.

The subcontract quantity per doesn't affect the unit value entered for BOM and Job costing purposes, so the unit value should reflect the full value for a job quantity of one unit.

The subcontract quantity per is used to display the calculated total quantity against a job subcontract operation and is calculated as follows:

The subcontract quantity per multiplied by the job quantity and in the case of progressive scrap the subcontract quantity per multiplied by the operation start quantity. However, the operation cost is not impacted by the calculated total quantity result.

When creating a purchase order for a subcontract operation, the default purchase order quantity is calculated as the subcontract quantity per multiplied by the job quantity (in the case of progress scrap the subcontract quantity per multiplied by the operation start quantity). The default unit price is then worked out by dividing the subcontract value by the subcontract quantity per to get a unit price per subcontract quantity per.This will then equate to the same overall cost as the operation.

Indicate the subcontract value of the operation.

You must enter this value in local currency, regardless of whether the subcontractor is a foreign currency supplier.

Indicate the number of pieces involved in the operation. This enables you to mark quantities in a measure that is meaningful to you.

For example: If the job is to make bicycle wheels and this operation is to make spokes for the wheels, then you could indicate that 30 spokes (i.e. number of pieces) are required for each wheel.

Additionally, when making spokes for a bicycle wheel, the operator could mark the number of spokes produced during the operation enabling the system to calculate the number of wheels for which the operator has manufactured spokes.

This only applies when the option: Progressive scrap is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).

You cannot maintain the scrap percentage or quantity once the job is confirmed, or allocations have been issued.

If you defined a fixed quantity of a component per parent, then any progressive scrap quantity or percentage defined against an Operation through which the component moves is not applied.

Following is an analogy explaining the difference between progressive scrap and material scrap:

Assume you manufacture action men dolls.

If you know that you scrap about 10% of the arms whilst attaching them to the body, then you define this as material scrap to raise the quantity per on each parent part.

If you know that you damage 10% of the body whilst attaching the arms, then you would define this as progressive scrap against the operation which attaches the arms.

It enables you to indicate when the subsequent operation can start by transferring a quantity or percentage from the current operation.

For example, if the job quantity is 50 and you do not use the transfer quantity facility, then the next operation will only start when the 50 are completed in the current operation. However, if you set the transfer method to Quantity and enter 10, then 10 is transferred to the next operation. So, the next operation can start once 10 have been completed in the current operation.

Indicates the unit of measure to use for the component (see Maintain Components for Stock Code).

This only applies if you defined units of measure other than only the stocking unit of measure against the component stock item (Stock Codes). However, if the component is defined as a Phantom part (Stock Codes) then the unit of measure is always the stocking unit of measure.

Indicates the ECC consumption method for an ECC controlled item.

Indicates the Override planned rev/rel in spec issue option has been enabled for the ECC controlled stock code.

Select this if you want the system to automatically allocate the sequence number for the components added. The sequence number defaults to the default sequence number (Bill of Materials Setup).

If you do not select this option, then you can manually define the sequence number for each component in relation to the parent stock code.

Indicate the sequence number for the component in relation to the parent stock code. You can only access this field if you indicated that structure sequencing is required (Bill of Materials Setup). Regardless of whether you require structure sequencing, this field always defaults to the entry made at the Sequencing - Default number field (Bill of Materials Setup) for the first component added.

This field is disabled if you set Automatic sequencing to Yes.

If you selected the Preference: Default to automatic sequencing when adding components, then the sequence number is automatically calculated based on your entry at the Sequencing - Default number field (Bill of Materials Setup) and the Gap to use for automatic sequence numbering preference field.

If you manually enter a sequence number, then the number can be in the range 00 to 99. In addition, you can show more than one occurrence of the parent/component relationship.

For example:

When assembling an item, the same size screw must be used to secure the lid as well as the base, to another component. You then have the choice of indicating that you require either a total of eight screws, or that you need four screws on two separate occasions.

Another use of the sequence number would be on a flow line where you want to specify which station must receive which components (i.e. the station number would be entered as the sequence number).

Indicate the component stock item you want to attach to the parent part or change.

Note that this field is enabled when both changing and adding a component. If you selected Change Component and you enter a different stock code in this field, then the component is added to the bill (as if you had selected Add component) and the existing component remains on the bill as it was.

You can add a by-product to the bill of a notional part. You typically do this if the by-product resulted from the manufacture of a number of co-products.

You can add a by-product to the bill of a made-in item. You typically do this if the by-product resulted from the manufacture of a single product.

If the parent part is included in the relationship validation (Stock Codes) then any components assigned to the parent must also be included in the relationship validation. A stock item defined as a Kit of type 'K' or 'S' can be attached as a component to a parent part that has a Part category of Planning bill. You cannot attach a co-product as a component if the parent part is notional and the co-product is attached to the notional part as this would cause a looping structure. a notional part cannot be attached as a component to any structure or routing. A soft phantom can only be added as a component in a BOM in the Stocking unit of measure.

This determines the revision/release to use when the component is issued to the job and only applies when the item is ECC controlled (Stock Codes).

This defaults to Specified and cannot be changed when the Stock control level is set to Stock code (Bill of Materials Setup).

Select this to override the planned revision and release during a specific issue. This option is enabled when you select Deplete oldest at the ECC consumption field.

This is only available for ECC controlled stock codes when the Deplete oldest rev/rel first (Component) option is enabled in the Bill of Materials Setup program.

The setting for this option is copied to the material allocation by the Requirements Calculation program when creating a suggested job.

Indicate the specific revision of the component to use in the bill of materials.

You can only access this field if ECC consumption is set to Specified.

Indicate the specific release of the component you want to use in the bill of materials.

You can only access this field if ECC consumption is set to Specified.

Indicate what percentage of weight is comprised of the component (i.e. the specific gravity multiplied by the percentage of wet weight).

This field is enabled only if the parent part is configured as a batch bill of materials (Stock Codes) and you selected the option: Include in batch weight.

If the Use manufacturing unit of measure setup option is enabled (Work in Progress Setup) then this defaults to the manufacturing unit of measure defined against the stock code (except for component items with a part category of Phantom part, which only allows the stocking unit of measure).

Indicate the quantity of the component stock code that is required to make a single parent stock code.

This relationship is based on the unit of measure of the parent part and the component. The number of decimals that can be entered here (0 to 6) is determined by your entry at the option: Maximum decimals in quantity per (Bill of Materials Setup).

For batch bills of materials, this value is calculated as the Percentage of wet weight multiplied by the Specific gravity of the component.

Indicate the number of parent parts to which the component quantity per applies.

An entry of zero here indicates that the number of components required to make a single parent part is fixed regardless of the number of parent parts being made.

For example:

If the component quantity per is 2, then 2 components are required, regardless of whether you make 100, 200 or 1000 of the parent part.

An entry other than zero indicates that the number of components required is fixed in relation to a specific number of parent parts that will be made.

For example:

If the component quantity per of 2 is fixed according to 100 parent parts being made, then making 200 parent parts would require 4 components, and making 1000 parent parts would required 20 components.

Note that if you make 50 parent parts, then 2 components are used. (i.e. if you make between 1 and 100 parent items, 2 components are used. If you make between 101 and 200 parent parts, then 4 components are used, and so on).

Note also, that the costs of the components for a job are calculated according to the number of components used. Therefore, the material costs for this component will be the same whether you are making 1 parent item or 100 parent items (i.e. you are still using 2 of these components).

Refer also to Fixed Quantity Per Example.

You can only access this field if you selected the Fixed quantity option.

If a parent per fixed quantity is defined against a component, then any progressive scrap quantity or percentage defined against an operation through which the component moves, is not applied.

The total quantity required for a fixed quantity component with a parent quantity per is calculated as follows:

This number can be in the range 1 to 999, where 1 indicates that the material is required at the first operation (i.e. at the start of the job).

If you enter an operation number other than 1 then the operation must exist on file.

Indicate when the component must be available for the manufacture of the parent part. The number of days entered is offset backwards from the finish date of the job.

An entry of 0 indicates that the component is required on the date a suggested job is due to be completed.

For example: If the component is required 7 days before the completed manufacture date, then you would enter 7 here.

This free format field usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number. Occasionally that number is then followed by a letter indicating that components are grouped or matched with each other.

Indicate when the component must become active in the structure. The default entry of 00/00/00 indicates that the component is active from the date of entry.

This only applies when structure on/off dates are required (Bill of Materials Setup).

Items that are inactive within a structure are ignored from the Cost Implosion program and from job allocations.

The Structure Validation program can be used to remove components that are no longer relevant within a structure.

Indicate when the component must be de-activated from the structure. The default entry of 00/00/00 indicates that structure off dates are not required.

This only applies when structure on/off dates are required (Bill of Materials Setup).

Items that are inactive within a structure are ignored from the Cost Implosion program and from job allocations. The Structure Validation program can be used to remove components that are no longer relevant within a structure.

You use this field to enter the job number from which the component can be included in jobs.

This is only relevant if you selected the option: Component inclusion by job number (Bill of Materials Setup).

You use this field to enter the job number to which the component can be included in jobs.

This is only relevant if you selected the option: Component inclusion by job number (Bill of Materials Setup).

Enter a percentage factor by which the quantity per must be increased, to take account of scrap of the component while manufacturing the parent item (i.e. it is the percentage of the component part you expect to scrap whilst making the parent part).

For example: An entry of 15% (where the quantity per is 1) results in a material allocation of 115 of the component when you create a job for 100 of the parent.

This field is disabled for a soft phantom component.

Increase the allocation quantity for this component, calculated at the time of creating a job.

For example: Given a one-to-one parent/component relationship where the scrap quantity is 5 - when you create a job to make 20 of the parent, the allocation for the component is 25.

	If a job is created where the quantity to make is anything other than the EBQ, you will probably encounter a variance on the job. A material Scrap quantity should not be used when a Fixed quantity per parent is defined. When a fixed quantity per is applied, the unit quantity required can be the full quantity required which will mean the scrap quantity will not equal the scrap quantity setup.

If you add the scrap percentage and scrap quantity to a parent/component relationship, then the allocation is first increased by the scrap percentage and the scrap quantity is added to this figure.

For example: Given a one-to-one parent/component relationship where the scrap percentage is 10 and the scrap value is 5 - when you create a job to make 60 of the parent, the component allocation would be 71 (i.e. 60 x 10% = 6 and 60 + 6 + 5 = 71).

This field is disabled for a soft phantom component.

Enter the warehouse from which the component must be issued to the job. The inventory cost from this warehouse is used when costs are rolled up.

If you enter a warehouse to use and you the attempt to replace the component (using the Replace Component Where Used program) then the replacement will fail if the replacement component does not exist in this warehouse.

If you do not enter a warehouse in this field, then the Warehouse to use defined against the stock code (Stock Codes) is used, unless you selected the option: Override components warehouse to use (Job Entry). In this case, the component warehouse to use you define when creating the job is used.

The component must be stocked in the warehouse you enter here.

If you define the warehouse to use against the component, but do not want this warehouse to be used when backflushing the component, then you must select the option: Ignore warehouses defined on structure record (Inventory Movements - Backflushing).

Select this to be able to make the decision at the time of order entry concerning whether to include the component on an order. Otherwise the component is regarded as mandatory and is inserted automatically into the sales order.

You can only select this option if you indicated that single level bill of materials is required (Sales Orders Setup).

Select this print component order lines on all your order documents. You can override this option if the component is defined as optional.

	You can only select this option if you indicated that single level bill of materials is required (Sales Orders Setup).

If you select this for a co-product and the co-product is manufactured via a notional part on this route, then your selection is ignored.

This option is ignored when you use the Job Review program to create a live job from a suggested job.

Standard narration codes are defined using the Browse on Standard Narrations program.
