| # Generating Item Engineering Data (GBF) If you enter an item in both the Item 1 field and the Item 2 field, both items are displayed in one window in the GBF. As a result, you can cut, copy, paste, drag, and drop data from one item to the other in the GBF. If you use the GBF, you can perform all the actions that are usually carried out from the menu browser. The three most important check boxes in this session are: BOM If this check box is selected, you can start the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. If you select an option from the View Routing group box, you can also view items by their operation. If this check box is cleared, the Material-Routing Relations check box is unavailable. Where-used BOMs If this check box is selected, you can start several sessions from the GBF's Specific menu, including: Where-used BOM Components (tibom1512m000) Item - Ordering (tcibd2100s000) Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) Routing If this check box is selected, you can start several sessions from the GBF's Specific menu, including: Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) Item - General (tcibd0101s000) Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) For every item that is displayed in the GBF, the following folders exist: Item folder, which contains item data. BOM folder, which contains the item's BOM lines that can contain . Item-Where Used in BOM folder, which contains the BOMs in which the item is used as a part. Item-Routing folder, which contains the routing and the routing operations. For every operation, information can be linked, such as exceptions and microrouting information. Note By double-clicking a folder's icon, you can expand or collapse the folder. If a folder does not contain any data, the specific data does not apply to the item. |
