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.

In the Shop Floor Control Module, you have the ability to key in both direct labor and indirect labor. However you want to establish specific types (reasons) for the indirect labor. The SFC600 labor entry program shows a reason code field, but it is designed for reject quantity and machine downtime reasons, not indirect labor reasons.

There is a way around this. With an MES solution you have the ability to setup and report indirect time against a specific reason code.
