| Creating Generic BOMs |  |
| Open the \ Infor ERP Manufacturing\Product Configuration\Generic Engineering Data\Generic BOMs – tipcf3110m000 session. Use this session to define the generic BOM and all its components for a generic item. Note This section is valid only when you use PCF in combination with the Assembly Control module for product configuration. For more information, refer to the following: Product Configuration (PCF) PCF procedures Note If the Multilevel PCF Choice Structure check box in the Product Configuration Parameters (tipcf0100m000) session is selected, you can use extra generic levels in the product structure for a multilevel selection structure. Changes in the generic BOM are not processed in existing product variant structures. Create a generic BOM for a generic item. A generic BOM is used to define the generic product and product engineering structure. Based on this master data structure, the real end product, called product variant, can be configured. During the configuration, based on the selected features and options, the product variant structure is generated. This process is also known as Solving, where each product that is going to be assembled is solved against a master structure. Important! If the Configure by PCF check box in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0100s000) session is selected, the generic BOM is set up in the PCF (tipcf3110m000) session. If the Configure by PCF check box in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0100s000) sessionis cleared, the generic BOM is set up in the APL (tiapl2510m000) session. Use this session to define the template data for the generic Bill of Material (BOM) of a generic item. Creating sales price lists for generic items Open the \ Infor ERP Manufacturing\Product Configuration\Generic Price Lists\Generic Price Lists – tipcf4101m000 session. Note This section is valid only when you use PCF in combination with the Assembly Control module for product configuration. For more information, refer to the following: Product Configuration (PCF) PCF procedures If you do not use PCF, you can use Price Books to define the price. In the Generic Price Lists (tipcf4101m000) session, define a configuration-based sales price of your generic item. To create sales price lists for generic items, complete the steps below. Use the New Group option to enter the generic item. In the Price List Type field select the option Sales Price List. Use the New group option to add a new record to the sales price list. Creating assembly BOMs and operations Open \ Infor ERP Manufacturing\Assembly Planning\Engineering\Assembly BOM and Operations – tiapl2520m000. Use this session to view and maintain the assembly parts, operations, and line stations that are required for a specific engineering module. Restrictions If the External Assembly Parts and Operations check box in the Assembly Planning Parameters (tiapl0500m000) session is selected, the flattened parts and operations are delivered from an external source. Therefore, you cannot change the data in the current session, except when you work in Test Mode. If the check box is cleared, the assembly parts and operations are flattened during the calculation of the assembly part requirements. You can modify data in this session only if your current company is defined as master company. Procedure After you change the data in this session, you must run the following sessions: Calculate Assembly Part Requirements (tiapl2221m000) Refresh and Freeze Assembly Orders (tiapl3203m000) Operations independent from assembly parts To define operations which are not linked to a specific assembly part, leave the Assembly Part field empty. ERP LN takes these operations into account when it creates line-station variants. Select New group on the toolbar and enter your engineering module. Note You can define an Assembly BOM line which does not contain an assembly part, but only operation and location data. An Assembly BOM line which contains only an assembly part and no operation and location details is considered as an incomplete assembly BOM line and is not taken into consideration by ERP LN. |
