Access BOM Items

About this task

A Bill of Material (BOM) contains BOM formulations that define a list of items and the quantity of each BOM item needed to produce a product. BOM items are defined and associated with BOM formulations in Plant Applications. Using Plant Applications Web Client, you can manage BOM items as follows:

  1. In Route Editor, you can link BOM formulations to a route, and then link BOM items to operations.
  2. In Work Queue and Unit Operations, you can specify the consumption of BOM items for each serial/lot.
  3. In Work Order Manager, you can view the required and consumed quantity of each BOM item for each serial/lot. You can also add new BOM items for selected serial/lot or update the required quantity on existing items.
    Note:
    To add or edit BOM items, you must have the required security permission. This is the same permission that is used to perform Work Order edits.

Procedure

  1. Access the work order whose BOM items you want to view.
    The page for the work order appears, displaying the Current Status section. The All Serials/Lots section displays a list of serials/lots in the work order, along with the status of each serial/lot.
  2. In the left pane, select the serial/lot for which you want to access the BOM items.
  3. Select BOM.
    A list of BOM items associated with the serial/lot appears. The following table provides information on the columns in the table.
    Note:
    The list of BOM items appears only if you select a serial/lot in the left pane. If All Serials/Lots is selected, the list of BOM items does not appear.
    Tip:
    You can search for a BOM item by entering the part number in the Search part here box or by scanning the bar code of the part number.
    ColumnDescription
    ORDERThe order in which the BOM items may be consumed.
    Note:
    For multiple lots, you can select the row to expand and see individual details such as SERIAL/LOT, CONSUMED QTY, USERNAME, and DATE/TIME in a new table.
    MATERIAL The material code of the BOM item.
    MATERIAL DESC The material description of the BOM item.
    REQ QTY The planned quantity of the BOM items required for the completion of the serial/lot for the operation.
    CONSUMED QTY The actual quantity of the BOM items consumed during the production.
    UOM The unit of measure (UOM) of the BOM item.
    SERIAL/LOT# The serial/lot number of the raw material that was consumed.
    LOWER QTY The minimum quantity, measured in the selected engineering units, of the formulation item that is recommended to be used in the formulation.
    UPPER QTY The maximum quantity, measured in the selected engineering units, of the formulation item that is recommended to be used in the formulation.
    SCRAP FACTOR The Percentage of this formulation item that is expected to be lost during production of the formulation. For example, if 100 units of Product XYZ are required with a scrap factor of 1%, then you should have 101 units on hand when preparing to produce the product.
    STORAGE UNIT Unit currently storing the selected product.
    SUBSTITUTIONS The replacement materials available for that item as a substitution.
    PER ASSEMBLY QTY Derived quantity value by dividing the REQ QTY with the PLANNED QTY of the selected serial/lot number. For example, if the required quantity is 100 and the planned quantity of the serial/lot number is 10, then the PER ASSEMBLY QTY is 10.
    ALIAS Displays an alias for the BOM item name.
    QTY PRECISION The BOM item quantity precision.
    UPPER QTY PRECISION The upper quantity precision for a BOM item.
    LOWER QTY PRECISION The lower quantity precision for a BOM item.
    MANDATORY Indicates whether the BOM item consumption is required to complete the operation.
    ISSUED QTY Total assigned (issued) quantity for the BOM item for an operation.
