| BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140s000) |  |
| Use this session to define and maintain material-routing relationships. These relationships are used to determine on which routing operation a material must be present on the shop floor. For a manufactured item, you can define multiple routings. Every routing consists of a different series of operations. You can use this session to determine for every routing on which operation a specific material must be present on the shop floor. In the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, you must specify for a BOM line on which operation the material of the BOM line is issued to the shop floor: If you enter zero (0) in the Operation field, the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session is used to determine on which operation the material is issued. If no material-routing relationship exists, the material is issued at the first operation. If you enter a value other than zero (0) in the Operation field, for example, 10, the material is issued at operation 10. This operation applies to all routings that are defined for the manufactured item. If the operation does not exist for the manufactured item's routing(s), the BOM line material is issued at the first operation of the routing. Note Material-routing relationship information is used in Enterprise Planning, the Cost Price Calculation module, and shop floor order generation. You can start this session from a BOM line in the GBF browser for item engineering data. The GBF browser is invoked from the Item Engineering Data (GBF) (tiipd0203m000) session. You can start the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.
Fields | Description
Main Item | In ERP LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one (kit), or exist in multiple product variants (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options)
Position | The component's BOM position number.
Slash Character | The BOM sequence number is a subdivision of the component item's BOM position number. If you create orders for a manufactured item, only the material with the lowest sequence number is taken into account.
Routing | A routing that can be used to produce the main item. You can define one or more routings for an item in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session.
Operation | The routing operation at which the BOM line's item must be issued to the shop floor. More than one routing can be available to produce an item. The operation at which a material is issued can differ for the various routings.
