Note that the Bill of Material and Routing are revision controlled. When a structure is generated for the first time, a first revision is made with status New.

If the Approve Structures Automatically check box is selected in the Job Shop Master Data Parameter (tirou0500m000) session, the revision is created with status Approved.

If the structure is regenerated, the current revision status determines the result:

  • If the status is New, this revision is overwritten
  • If the status is Approved, a new revision is created

For either file, you must specify a valid location code as defined in the Location Master File.

If the machine master locations are blank, then the work center locations are used. There are cases where you may want to do a combination between the two in defining the locations.

Let’s say the end item has one operation. The operation is at work center 510 and Machine A is in the work center. You have locations setup in both the Work center file and the Machine master File. You report 100 complete at the work center without specifying the machine.

In this case, the inventory will be processed based on the locations defined in the work center file. If the transaction included the machine number, then the locations in the machine file would be used.

In the Item Master File, the requirements code is used to specify the type of demand for the item. Planned order requirements are determined from the type of demand. If the requirements code is left blank, the planning systems treat the item as a sum code (3).
 

Other options for the field are:


1 = Dependent demand that is indirectly generated from the parent item requirements.

2 = Independent demand generated from customer orders and forecasts.

3 = The Sum of both independent and dependent demand.
