Use these fields to create a bill of material record for a finished item.
1. Finished Item
Specify the finished item number. The entry must be a valid finished item number which displays the description(s) and stocking unit of measure. Press F2 to search for items. Press F3 to search for finished items already set up. After you specify an item, the MC Side Bar is available from the entry grid to display additional information for bill of materials items.
2. Procurable
Indicate whether this BOM is purchase-able from a vendor. If not checked, this finished item is not included during BCC ‘Procurements calculations for “order as needed for a warehouse”. This switch does not apply to special orders, and CRS items. Manual entry within the BCC procurement activity for BOM finished items is still allowed.
3. Build Preferred
Indicate whether to build the item when a special order is entered for a BOM/FML item.
4. Overhead
Specify the overhead cost per unit of producing this item as an amount or a percentage. If entered as a percentage, enter the number and a % before pressing Enter.
5. Package
Specify the packaging cost per unit of producing this item as an amount or a percentage. If entered as a percentage, enter the number and a % before pressing Enter.
6. Labor
Specify the labor cost per unit of producing this item as an amount or a percentage. If entered as a percentage, enter the number and a % before pressing Enter.
7. Update in SO
Specify one of these values to indicate if component items for this finished item can be updated in Sales Orders:
F -finished items can only be assembled in MC, i.e., finished items can only be produced by using the MC entry and register programs.
C -finished items must be assembled from components entered in an SO entry program to update on-hand quantities. You will have the option at the time of entry whether to create BOM component line-items automatically or one at a time. Creating component line-items automatically means the BOM Component Entry window is displayed with the line-items already entered. Creating component line-items one at a time means the system displays the BOM Component Entry window but waits for you to enter the number of units needed for each line-item.
A -finished items must be assembled from components entered in an SO entry program to update on-hand quantities. In SO the system will display a message that it is creating component items, then it will proceed to the next field. The BOM Component Entry window is not displayed. However, you can back up to the window if changes are necessary.
O -the operator can decide at the time of entry in SO whether to enter BOM component items as previously described for options F, C, or A.
If you enter options C or A, the finished items should not be produced with MC.
Press Enter to default to F. The BOM Update flag of the SO static control record must be set to selected for an entry of C, A, or O in this field to be meaningful.
This concludes the header portion of the Bill of Material Entry program. At this time, the header record is created. After the header record is created, all the header fields except #1 are accessible through the change header routine. Field #1 can only be changed by deleting and reentering the finished item number.
Line numbers are assigned automatically beginning with 001 and incrementing by one for each additional line-item up to 999.
8. Item Number
Specify the component item number to be used to produce the bill of material finished item. The entry must be a valid number. Valid entries display the item description and stocking unit of measure. Press F4 to remove the line and back up to the previous line number.
9. Units
Specify the number of units needed to produce one finished item.
10. Memo
Specify the memo to appear on the BOM listing (up to 20 characters).
