| BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) |  |
| Use this session to define and maintain material-routing relationships for a specific main item. For a manufactured item, you can define multiple routings. Every routing consists of a different series of operations. You can use the material-routing relationships defined in this session to determine for every routing on which operation a specific material must be present on the shop floor. In the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, you must specify for a BOM line on which operation the material of the BOM line is issued to the shop floor: If you enter zero (0) in the Operation field, the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140m000) session is used to determine on which operation the material is issued. If no material-routing relationship exists, the material is issued at the first operation. If you enter a value other than zero (0) in the Operation field, for example, 10, the material is issued at operation 10. This operation applies to all routings that are defined for the manufactured item. If the operation does not exist for the manufactured item's routing(s), the BOM line material is issued at the first operation of the routing. Note Material-routing relationship information is used in Enterprise Planning, the Cost Price Calculation module, and shop floor order generation. You can start this session from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. You can start the BOM Line - Material-Routing Relationships (tibom0140s000) session from a BOM line in the GBF browser for item engineering data. The GBF browser is invoked from the Item Engineering Data (GBF) (tiipd0203m000) session.
Fields | Description
Main Item | The main item for which the BOM is maintained.
Description | The description or name of the code.
Position | The component's BOM position number.
Slash Character | The BOM sequence number is a subdivision of the component item's BOM position number. If you create orders for a manufactured item, only the material with the lowest valid sequence number is taken into account. A material sequence number can be (in)valid due to effectivity dates or unit effectivity settings.
Item | The component item of the manufactured item. The component is an item with the Purchased item type or the Manufactured item type. The component must be present in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, but not necessarily in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
Routing | A routing that can be used to produce the main item. You can define one or more routings for an item in the Item - Routings (tirou1101m000) session.
Operation | The routing operation at which the BOM line's item must be issued to the shop floor. More than one routing can be available to produce an item. The operation at which a material is issued can differ for the various routings.
