| Use Up and Alternative Materials in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm2125m000) |  |
| Use this session to view the use-up materials and alternative materials for the materials in an engineering BOM's copy data. You can also maintain some of the fields. You can modify the following fields: EBOM Copy Method Alternative To Item Related topics To use up remaining stock of outdated items Alternative materials in BOMs To define alternative materials
Fields | Description
Engineering Item | An item in the process of development. You can define multiple revisions of an engineering item. Typically, the most recent revisions are still in a design or test phase, another revision may have been taken into production, and older revisions are obsolete. A normal item can only become revision-controlled when it is copied from the Engineering Data Management module.
Engineering Item Revision | The engineering item's revision.
Main Item | The production BOM's main item.
EBOM Position | The position number of the EBOM line. This is equivalent to the position number of a PBOM, except there is no sequence number. A sequence number defines items that are valid on different dates. Revisions can carry out that (of defining items that are valid on different dates) function for engineering items.
Component | The component of the engineering item (E-item) revision. The component can be either an E-item or a standard item.
Position | Identification of the alternative-material record.
Alternative Priority | The alternative priority determines which of the alternatives ERP LN will select first. Allowed values Use up This is an outdated material ( use-up material ) that must be used up first. 1 The alternative that will be selected if the inventory of the standard material (and the use-up material, if any) is insufficient. 2 The alternative that will be selected if the inventory of the standard material and the first alternative material (and the use-up material, if any) is insufficient. 3, 4, 5, ... Lower priority alternative materials. 9 The lowest priority alternative material. Related topics The search for alternative materials
EBOM Copy Method | The copy method used by ERP LN for copying the EBOM to the production BOM. Allowed values No Copy Action Copy E-Item to Item NonProj Item to Proj Item EBOM to PBOM Only Possible Values Related topics Engineering BOMs
Item Category | The item category of the target alternative material.
Alternative To Item | The items that you copy as alternative material in the target bill of material (BOM).
