| Use this session to generate bills of critical materials and/or bills of critical capacities. Enterprise Planning generates bills of critical materials on the basis of the BOM structure information of the critical plan items. To generate the bill of critical materials, you must already have defined the BOM structure in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. If ERP LN generates a bill of critical materials, it takes the effective date and the expiry date of the items into account, that is, the item validity. ERP LN carries out a BOM explosion to the level of the lowest critical plan item to generate the bill of critical materials. To generate bills of critical capacities, Enterprise Planning also takes into account the product structure information, the bill of material (BOM), the routing operations of plan items, and the work centers associated with these routing operations. In addition, ERP LN takes into account effective dates and expiry dates of BOM components, and uses these dates to carry out a BOM explosion up to the level of the next plan items or critical material you defined as Critical in Planning in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100s000) session in the Common package. During this explosion, ERP LN computes the capacity requirements of work centers that you defined as Critical in Master Planning in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. These capacity requirements are then included in the bill of critical capacities. Note ERP LN also generates bills of critical materials and bills of critical materials for generic items. The bills of critical materials that Enterprise Planning generates for generic items are based on the BOM.

Fields | Description
From Plan Item | An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: Master-based planning, which is similar to master production scheduling techniques. Order-based planning, which is similar to material-requirements planning techniques. A combination of master-based planning and order-based planning. Plan items can be one of the following: An actual manufactured or purchased item. A product family. A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a generic item. A group of similar plan items or families is called a product family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for distribution planning.

Print Log Report | If this check box is selected, Common prints a log report that contains all the errors that occur if Common generates the bill of critical materials with the corresponding cause.
Print All Log Messages | If this check box is selected, Common generates a report that contains a log message for each critical component that Common explodes from the bill of material of the selected plan items.
Generate Bill of Critical Materials | Select this check box to generate the bill of critical materials for the specified plan item(s).
Generate Bill of Critical Capacities | Select this check box to generate the bill of critical capacities for the specified plan item(s).
