Use the Buyers Control Center Build Formulation screen to view detailed information about formulation planning records; modify or create production tickets for finished items. Double click a line in the Buyers Control Center to access this screen.

The BCC Build Formulation Detail screen is essentially a working production ticket. Each time a recalculate is run for this buyer and warehouse, the working production ticket is updated with the new information – quantities can change, new items can be displayed, and items can be dropped, all based on the current formulation planning records and quantities in the warehouse.

Processing details

If there are no finished items entered for the specified formula, the Finished Item lookup outlined in red. Finished items are required for the build to succeed. Click the Lookup button or change the Build quantity to display the Finished Item Entry (MCE220) for this formula.

Click the Requirements Lookup for each formulation item to view the Production Planning Requirements (MCE231) screen for that item.

Finished item information in Finished Item Entry (MCE231.F) and Item notes are also available for each item.

Check the Build column check box to select formulation planning records. Click Create FML to display the create document message. Click Yes create MC formulation tickets for checked lines and reset planning records status to E - Ticket entered.

You can modify quantities.

If the quantity field is changed and:

Zero quantities

In the BCC a quantity of zero is allowed. In Production Planning (MCE230) for FMLs, zero is not allowed. A recalculation sets that planning record quantity to zero. When you click Create FML, zero-quantity BCC records are not processed out of the BCC. You can delete them or changed the quantity to a valid value for processing. Zero quantities deselect/disable the Build checkbox for the item. Specify a quantity to automatically enable/select the build checkbox.

Adding formula items

You can add a formula item in the detail grid. The same formula item and same date cannot already exist in the BCC or in the planning record file. If a manual entry is made in the BCC for the current date and later a BOM/FML planning record is created for the same finished item and date in Production Planning (MCE230), the BCC entry remains unaffected until the BCC is recalculated. Then the manual entry in the BCC is removed and replaced by the new planning record for the same FML date. If the manual entry is used to create a ticket and later the BCC FML recalculation performed, then the planning record finished item/planning date is pulled into the BCC even though a BOM/FML ticket already exists for that finished item and planning date. The quantity defaults to 1. A manually entered formulation finished item in the BCC is not added to the FML planning file. Any recalculation or remove process removes that manually entered record from the BCC. Manual addition is useful for emergency builds only, where the build/ticket is going to be scheduled and created that day.
