Performing Material Quantity Calculations

Use

You use this procedure to manually start material quantity calculation in the master recipe. Depending on your requirements, you define the scope of the calculation as follows:

Calculation of the component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities for which formulas have been defined
Calculation of the product quantity and subsequent update of the component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities for which formulas have been defined

If required, you transfer the formula results to the corresponding alternative BOM.

Prerequisites

The formulas of material quantity calculation have been defined in the recipe.

If you have just edited the material list or bill of material of another production version in the master recipe, you must access the recipe group again.

Procedure

Choose the Materials tab page in the recipe.

If more than one header material and/or production version exists for your recipe, select the material or production version for which you want to perform the material quantity calculation.

The material list of the recipe appears.

Choose

The system uses the current formulas and data to calculate the component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities and displays the results on the editing screen of material quantity calculation.

If required, you can change the formulas from this screen (see Defining Material Quantity Calculation).

If you also want to recalculate the product or base quantity, choose Calculate product qty.

The system calculates the product quantity and subsequently updates all component, operation, phase, and scrap quantities for which formulas have been defined.

If you want to copy the formula results to the BOM, choose and save the master recipe.

The system also copies the calculated material quantities to the BOM if the Fixed quantity indicator has been set for the BOM item.
