Order-Specific Component Assignment in Routings 

Use

You use automatic component assignment when you work with order BOMs and when you also want to use the component assignments that you have created for your material BOMs for order BOMs .

Prerequisites

You have already assigned the header material of a material BOM to a routing. You have created operations in this routing.

Assignments already exist between the routing operations and the components of the material BOM.

Features

Component Assignment in the Configuration Editor

When you fix a BOM in the configuration editor, the system automatically creates the following data:

The system assigns a combination of material number, sales order number and sales order item to the routing header.

The system creates an assignment between the operation and order BOM component for each assignment between an operation and a material BOM component as long as you have not deleted this component.

The system does not create an order-specific routing. The operations are not saved as order-specific.

If you call up the configuration editor again at a later date, it may then be necessary to manually trigger the component assignment in the order browser.

Component Assignment in the Order Browser

If you post-process an order BOM outside of the configuration or you create new order BOMs, you then trigger an automatic component assignment in the order browser.

If you fix a BOM in the order browser, the system does not carry out automatic component assignment. This has to be triggered explicitly in the order browser.

Processing Order-Specific Component Assignments

If you process a routing and enter a material number, sales order number and a sales order item in the selection parameters, the system displays the order-specific component assignments.

Activities

To trigger an automatic component assignment in the order browser for all order BOMs for a sales order item, proceed as follows:

You are in the order browser.

  1. Choose Extras® Autom. Comp. Assignment.

When you trigger the component assignment for the first time, the system carries out the assignment immediately. The following steps do not apply.

If you repeat the component assignment you go to the dialog box Component Assignment.

  1. If you want the system to delete all existing order-specific component assignments before it creates new component assignments, choose Delete the order-spec. assignment.
  1. When you want to verify that the system is reading the current processing status from the database, make sure that the work with internal buffering indicator is not set.
