| # Finalizing engineering data You can finalize engineering data with the following sessions: EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) (for a single-level EBOM). Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000). Process MBC (tiedm3250m000). Finalizing individual items When you want to finalize individual E-items using the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session, you can enter selections of E-items, revisions, and items. Before you run the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session, you must record the EBOM copy data for E-items that you want to finalize, using: The EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session, or The Generate EBOM Copy Data by MBC (tiedm3235m000) session. Finalizing with mass bill of material changes (MBCs) Before you finalize E-items with an MBC using the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) session, you must record the EBOM copy data using the Generate EBOM Copy Data by MBC (tiedm3235m000) session. If you finalize using an MBC, the Finalization Date field is filled and the MBC status becomes Finalized. If the method of finalizing is With MBC, the data is removed from the E-Item by MBC (tiedm3122m000) session. If you want to finalize using an MBC, you can select the MBCs you want to use. The status of those MBCs must then be Approved by Production. Actions during finalizing You can create a new item while you copy from the E-item. ERP Enterprise creates a relationship between an E-item Revision and the item if no relationship already exists. ERP Enterprise copies E-items to items, if you selected the method copying an E-item to an Item (depending on the EBOM Copy Method that you defined in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session). ERP Enterprise copies the positions of the single-level EBOM to a PBOM, if you selected EBOM to PBOM (depending on the EBOM Copy Method that you defined in EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session). ERP Enterprise selects the Link with EDM check box for each position in the PBOM that is copied from the EBOM. ERP Enterprise selects the EBOM Copied check box in the EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session, and the EBOM Copy Date field is filled by the date that the MBC is finalized. You can determine which production BOM lines are replaced by EBOM lines by either: Altering the production BOM Update Method in the Finalize Engineering Data (tiedm3240m000) or Process MBC (tiedm3250m000) session. Selecting different choices, such as Recopy BOM lines or Copy E-item to Items from the appropriate menu in the EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session. The circumstances in which you cannot finalize an EBOM A single-level EBOM will not be finalized for an E-item if any of the following conditions apply: The project to which the item is copied has the status Canceled, Finished, Closed, Archived. The project to which the item is copied is a main project. The revision of the parent E-item is not Approved by Engineering. The units of meaurement of the parent E-item and the item are different. A single-level EBOM will not be finalized for a component if any of the following conditions apply: The EBOM Copy Method in the EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session is EBOM to Shop Floor PBOM Only and if one of the following criteria are met: The component does not exist in the production bill of material. The component's unit of measurement differs from the unit of the EBOM component. The EBOM Copy Method in the EBOM Copy Data (tiedm1120m000) session is NonProj Item to Proj Item and if one of the following conditions is true: The nonproject item is copied to a project item that does not exist. The unit that is used differs from the unit of the EBOM component. The EBOM component is an E-item and does not have a valid Approved by Engineering Non-engineering-related fields When a new BOM line is created, the data for the new BOM line is copied from the item data. This applies to fields such as those that define Phantom and Warehouse. When a BOM line already exists, data is copied from the old PBOM line. This applies to data such as operations. Note If the subitem has not been not modified, non-engineering data is also copied from the old PBOM line. If the subitem has been modified, these fields are copied from the item data.
