The purpose of this panel is to define the material in the structure. The structure information is displayed in sequence number order.
Options
| Lower level material | Select this option to maintain lower level material of the component. This option is only allowed for items with item type 1, 2 or 8. |
| Lower level operation | Select this option to maintain lower level operations of the component. This option is only allowed for items with item type 1, 2 or 8. |
| Purchase | Select this option to create a purchase requisition. This option is only allowed for items with item type 3 or 4. |
| Text | Select this option to add extended material text description. |
| Where used | Select this option to find out where the component item is used. |
Note: These options are only displayed when in change mode.
Function keys
| Alt product | Maintain alternative/co-products for this component item. |
| Add | Add a new bill of material information. |
| Operations | Maintain operations for this level. |
| Previous level | Only used if you are maintaining lower level material.
Return to the previous material level. |
| Seq renumbering | Renumber the sequence numbers.
This is useful if you e.g., have chosen the material numbers to be in sequence of 10 and you have added a material, between two existing ones, with a temporary number. This function will replace the temporary number with the appropriate number within the sequence. |
| Add detail | Add a component with detailed information. |
- Item
- Warehouse
- Structure unit
- Variant
- Structure quantity
- Seq no
- Component
- The item which is included as a component in the bill of material.
- Var
- The component variant. If the incoming component is already stored in different variants, i.e. the incoming bill of material and/or bill of routing differs from the basic structure, this variant will be stated here.
- Quantity
- The quantity in stock unit, displayed in up to 3 decimal places, of components included in the bill of material. The quantity field can be both positive and negative, if it is negative the material is handled as a by-product in the system.
- Unit
- This column could display one of the following:
- The structure unit for the line if Structure unit has been used. See Structure unit handling for more information.
- If a structure unit has not been used, the stock unit for the component from the Item file.
- First op no
- The first operation number in use. This is used for dividing the material list into different sets of picking lists. If this information is used the item is reserved for production purposes, i.e. for the starting time of this operation instead of the starting time of the manufacturing order.
- Text
- Indicates if texts are connected to the material line. If text exists under a material line this information will be copied to manufacturing order at creation.
- Item type
- The code indicates the item type.
- Phantom
- Indicates if the item should be handled as a phantom item in manufacturing orders. This means that material and operations on the phantom item will be moved from lower levels to level 1.
