Prerequisites

You have saved the BOM header record and started adding the components by inserting new rows in the table on the Main tab page of BOM Maintenance which will open the Component Details screen.

See also Creating BOMs.

Procedure

  1. On the Main tab page of the Component Details screen, enter the required data and other data to provide configuration information about the component:

    Field

    Description

    Phantom Component/Version

    The name of the phantom component and its version (see Phantom Component Assembly)

    Phantom Component Assembly Sequence

    The assembly sequence of the phantom component to which a phantom member is assigned (see Phantom Component Assembly)

    Assembly Sequence

    The order in which the component is assembled

    Component

    The component being added to the BOM

    Version

    The version of this component

    Note Note

    You need to leave this field blank if it is a current version. Enter an asterisk (*) if you want to define all versions. You can also enter the specific version.

    End of the note.

    Assembly Operation

    The operation where operators or machines assemble this component into its parent assembly

    Component Type

    The type of this component

    Normal: This component is a normal part.

    Test: This component is a test part and needs to be removed at the defined disassembly operation.

    Selecting this type enables the Disassembly Operation field.

    Operators should remove all defined test parts for a material before completing the assembly process. Set the TEST_PART rule of the Check Configuration activity to TRUE to verify that all test parts are removed (see Check Configuration).

    Phantom: This component has neither an order nor an SFC number and is not assembled.

    Co-product: This component includes different component materials based on the possible outcome.

    By-product: Any other materials that are produced during the manufacturing process.

    Disassembly Operation

    The operation where operators or machines can remove the defined test part

    Note that this field is available only for a Test type component.

    Assembly Qty as Required

    This field appears only if the Allow Assembly Qty As Required system rule is set to true (see Component Traceability Rules).

    If selected, allows you to assemble fewer pieces of this component than specified in the Assembly Qty field.

    Note Note

    Selecting this checkbox disables the Assembly Qty and Assembly Data Type fields.

    End of the note.

    If deselected, this component must be assembled with a quantity defined in the Assembly Qty field.

    Assembly Qty

    Required quantity of this component to be assembled

    Ref Des

    The reference designator

    Assembly Data Type

    The data type that is collected by the operators in the POD when this component is assembled into its parent assembly. This value overrides the Assembly Data Type assigned to the component in Material Maintenance.

    Max Usage as Component

    The maximum usage count for this component

    Overrides the value specified for the component in Material Maintenance

    Max NC for This BOM Component

    The number of times an NC can be logged against this BOM component/reference designator for the SFC number

    Note Note

    If this value is exceeded, an operator cannot log an NC code against this BOM component/reference designator.

    End of the note.

    Trackable Component

    Material Default: Uses the setting of the Create Trackable field on the Build tab in Material Maintenance for this component

    True: Users can create trackable SFC numbers for this component in the Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in As-Built Configuration activity. Overrides this setting in Material Maintenance.

    False: Users cannot create trackable SFC numbers for this component in the Assembly Point (CT500) or when they add components in the POD or in As-Built Configuration. Overrides this setting in Material Maintenance.

  2. On the Alternates tab page, add one or more alternate components that can be substituted for the original BOM component by inserting new rows in the table. The values defined in a BOM override the alternate components in Material Maintenance.

    Field

    Description

    Alternate Component

    The component that can be used as an alternate for the original BOM component

    Enabled

    If selected, this component can be used as an alternate for the original BOM component.

    Valid From

    The start date when this alternate component can replace the original BOM component

    Valid To

    The end date when this alternate component can replace the original BOM component

    Note Note

    If you want to use alternate components defined in BOM Maintenance, select the Enable BOM Alternate Use checkbox.

    End of the note.

  3. On the Custom Data tab page, enter the required data.

  4. Save your entries.
