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.

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: SFC600

In addition to SFC650, this ERPLX program is also used to capture and post shop floor information.

The key difference between the two is that SFC600 only captures Labor (run time) reporting, machine time, downtime and indirect time.

If you use SFC600, then all shop order material receipts and issues would be captured using INV500.

Both Inventory and Shop Floor Transaction entry is keyboard dependent, unless you incorporate an automated method like an MES solution to capture the data.

Using SFC600 to enter downtime.

You are tracking downtime and using SFC600 to enter the downtime, but you don’t know where to go to setup downtime reasons. You can set up the downtime reason codes in the INV application by selecting the reason code maintenance program INV140D1.

Once you are in the reason code maintenance program, position to the transaction effect code “D”. Using the transaction effect code “D” you can now setup as many downtime reason codes as needed. The reason code field is alpha numeric, so be creative with your reason code assignments.
