| # Where-used Components (tipcf3515m000) Use this session to display the generic items in which a particular item occurs as a component. This is useful if you want to replace components. To find the items that are included in a component, click the Find Record button. You can browse through each of the component items with the Next Group button, which shows the component's parent manufactured item. Note To print the information displayed in this session, use the following session: Print Where-used Components (tipcf3415m000) Related topics PCF procedures Item The item code of the component. You can use both generic and standard items. A generic item may also be the main item in another generic bill of material. A standard item can also be a main item in a production bill of material. The components must be items with the item type: Purchased. Manufactured. Generic. The component must be predefined in the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session. From this field, you can directly record items in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Description Enter the code for the language in which you want to print the texts that you previously selected. Generic Item The code of the configurable item. This description can differ from the item description as defined in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. In this way, the unique place of a component within a generic product structure can be indicated, which is of value for the product configuration process. Default Supply Source The source that supplies an item by default. An item can be supplied by using purchase orders, production orders, assembly orders, or warehousing orders. The default supply source determines what type of order is used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and specify an alternate source. This field can be used to determine what type of supply order LN must create if you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient. Shop Floor The item is obtained by creating a production order. Assembly The item is obtained by creating an assembly order. Purchase The item is obtained by creating a purchase order. If the item type is Manufactured or Generic, this field can be Shop Floor or Assembly. If the item type is Engineering Module, this field is Assembly and cannot be changed. If the item type is Purchased, this field is Purchase and cannot be changed. Position The position number of the component allows unequivocal recognition of the generic bill of material. This number is comparable to the position number in the production bill of material. In a generic bill of material, however, several variants can be defined for each position number. |
