You can enter deviation quantities for component SKUs in the material BOM and in the production order.

In the production order, you can use the function Assign comp. SKU to header SKUs to better identify the source of the requirements and to ensure an appropriate assignment for partially confirmed SKUs.

In the following cases you would use this function to distribute component SKUs among the existing header SKUs in the production order:

• The component quantity SKU quantity has been changed.
• There are new components or SKUs.

This function is available for all types of order components of AFS header materials, including for standard components.

The following deviation quantities are maintained for the component OUTERFABRIC_XYZ in the bill of material for the finished material BLOUSE_XYZ:

• Header SKU size 40 multi-colored (40_multi-colored):

• Header SKU size 40 black (40_black):

You create a production order for the material BLOUSE_XYZ with the following header SKUs:

• 40_multi-colored 10 pieces
• 40_black 10 pieces

After transferring the header SKUs, you see a requirement of 20 m of the OUTERFABRIC_XYZ in the component overview. This requirements quantity is made up of the following at component SKU level:

• Red 5 m
• Black 15 m

If you call the function Assign comp. SKU to header SKUs for one of the SKUs, for example for black, the system will display the header SKUs from which the requirements quantity was caused and in which quantity.

If you add another SKU in the SKU screen, for example blue, with a requirement of 2 m, you will go to the assignment screen. Now you must enter which header SKUs caused this additional requirement:

If you partially confirm 40_multi-colored with 10 pieces, the assignment causes an exact calculation:

• If you partially confirm 10 pieces of the header SKU 40_multi-colored, 2 m of the component SKU blue are required.
• If you partially confirm 10 pieces of the header SKU 40_black, the requirements is 0 m.

If there were no assignment, the system would determine a backflush quantity of 1 m for the component OUTERFABRIC_XYZ and its SKU blue: Without an assignment you do not know for which header SKU the component SKU blue is required. For this reason, the backflush quantity would then be calculated in percent. That means: Of the quantity of 20 pieces, 50% would be confirmed, causing 50% of the requirement of 2 m to be determined.
