Did you know? PBOM – Effective Dates

Some customers have noticed that when a PBOM is pushed from Engineering to Production, the effective date of the PBOM component lines does not match the effective date of the revision of the PBOM component.

Here is how it works:

1. The effective date on a PBOM line is the date the item became effective in PBOM. This means that if the parent item is revision controlled, the effective date on the line relates to one of the revision dates of the parent item.
2. The effective date in a PBOM can be changed. This will lead to a disconnect between engineering and PBOM dates.
3. The a PBOM line can have a revision. However, the effective date on the PBOM line is not the effect of the revision of this component.

Understanding: The Cycle Count Alternative

The best way to cycle count is to count the same number of items each day and at the same time each day. The goal is to count your “A” items 4 times a year. The “A” items should be those item that are about 80% of the total inventory value and 20% of the total items. Consider creating your own cycle count schedule then instead of using the cycle count transaction, use the inventory adjustment transaction. The item balance is changed at the time the transaction is keyed. The transaction list can be used for the reconciliation process.

Understanding: The Cycle Count Transaction

If you rely on BPCS to provide you with a cycle count list, the number of items could vary from day to day from a few items to count, to several. So the person doing the cycle counting may spend a few minutes to a few hours counting items. After the cycle count is complete, the balances are not changed until the reconciliation is complete. This process could take some time before the balances are changed.

The cycle count transaction process is similar to the physical inventory transaction process.
