Assembly
Product which is manufactured in the Plant
Need not be Finished goods.
The intermediate product can also be an assembly (it could rather be called as Sub-Assembly).

Component

Materials used for manufacturing the assembly

Components could be raw materials, consumables, by-products etc..

Resource
Require to perform an operation to complete the manufacturing process
Could be machine, employee, space, tools and Outside services.
Resources are assigned to departments and they are in turn assigned to an Operation.

Department
An area with in organization
Consists of one or more people, machines, or suppliers,
Where you want to collect cost and apply overhead while you complete you Operation or an assembly.

Work day Calendar

Defines the valid working days of a manufacturing organization
Contains the repeating pattern of On-days and Off-Days.
All working days need to be defined, as On-Days and all Non-working days
(Holidays) need to be defined as Off-Days.

Model BOM
BOM includes Options and Option class for the customer to choose his configuration.
Also specifies mandatory items and included items that are required for each configuration for the model.
Models cannot be ordered or built instead the configurations arrived using the model are ordered or built.
The types of model BOM include PTO (Pick to Order) and ATO (Assemble to Order).

Option Class BOM

An Item that helps to group optional components on a BOM.
Becomes a level in your Model BOM.
A mandatory item under an Option class BOM applies for all of its options.
Option class BOM can be either a ATO or a PTO.

Standard BOM
Most common type of BOM used in any discrete manufacturing process,
Lists all the mandatory components required for manufacturing the product

Planning BOM
structure that includes a percentage distribution of its components.
Oracle MS/MRP uses the Planning BOM to plan its components based on the percentage distribution.

Lead Time
Time required to complete a process (could be either a manufacturing process or a procurement process).
Various types of lead-time include, Pre-Processing Lead time, Processing Lead time, Post Processing Lead time, Fixed Lead time, Variable
Lead time, Total Lead time, Cumulative Manufacturing Lead time and Cumulative Total Lead time.

Define Exception Template (Optional)

(N): BOM>Setup>Calendar> (M) Tools>Exception Template

Exception templates define and group deviations to your workday calendar, such as holidays, downtime, or scheduled
maintenance. When defining a workday calendar, specify which days (or shifts) are on and off. The workday
calendar, in combination with the exceptions to it, determine the work pattern for each organization. There are
three ways to apply the exceptions to the workday calendar:
 Selecting individual exception days
 Loading them from an exception template, another calendar, and another calendar shift
 Copying a set of exceptions from another calendar

Define Routings

(N) Navigation: BOM>Routings>Routings

Primary Routing: List of operations most frequently performed to build a product.
Alternate Routing: A different manufacturing process used to produce the same product.
Unlike a new primary routing, specify the item and alternate name to define an alternate routing.
A primary routing needed before defining an alternate
Any number of alternate routings for an item.

Define Routings

The Date from which this

routing operation is in
effect.

March 14, 2024 35

Define Routings

 Define which operations in a routing record move transactions by defining how resources are consumed at that operation.
 The Count Point and Autocharge check boxes work together.
 The Count Point and Autocharge check boxes can be set to either on or off.
 However, you cannot set Count Point on and Autocharge off.
 When you move assemblies from an operation with Count Point on / Autocharge on operation to another count point operation set
the same way, Work in Process automatically completes all Count Point off / Autocharge on count point operations between them.
 To transact a Count Point off / Autocharge off count point operation, you must explicitly move assemblies into and out of that
operation. Moving assemblies past a Count Point off / Autocharge off count point operation acts as though the operation did not exist
in the routing.
 This is particularly useful for rework or debug operations that are performed on a portion of the assemblies you process.

Define Routings
(N) Navigation: BOM>Routings>Routings Details

Define your completion sub inventory and locator.

This will default in the assembly completion
transactions for the Completion sub inventory.

March 14, 2024 40

Define Routings
(N) Navigation: BOM>Routings>Operation Resources

 You can associate multiple resources with an operation on a routing. For each resource, you can determine if you want to include
that resource in scheduling and lead time calculations. You can also collect costs for a resource on a routing if you specified the
resource as a costed resource.
 Define your operation timings in the Usage Rate or Amount based on the basis. A basis of Item indicates when your charges
fluctuate with quantity change. Lot Indicates resource usage quantity is the amount required per job (Setup Charges).
 Set your scheduling options as either Yes or Prior or Next or No. Based on this, the operation will be either scheduled or scheduled
prior to this operation or scheduled next to this operation.

March 14, 2024 41

Define Routings
(N) Navigation: BOM>Routings>Standard Operations

 Acts as a template for use in defining future routing operations.

 On assigning operation code of standard operation in a routing, Operation information gets copied
 You can then modify the operation information in your new operation.

 Operation Sequence: Assign your routing operation sequence on this Op.seq to assign your item to the specific operation.
This is used for Backflush transactions.
 Planning Percentage: This is where you define your planning percentage for your planning bill. MRP uses this planning
percentage for demand generation.
 Yield: The yield is the percentage of the component that survives the manufacturing process. A yield factor of 0.9 means that
only 90% of the usage qty of the component on a bill actually survives to be incorporated into the finished assembly.
 Supply Sub inventory and Locator: Work in Process pulls components from the supply sub inventory and the locator within
the sub inventory during back flushing. Assign a supply sub inventory and locator, if applicable, to components that have a
supply type of Assembly pull or Operation pull. You must specify a supply locator if you have mandatory locator control for the
supply sub inventory.
 Supply Type: This indicates how the supply is done, options are push (material is transacated manually), OperationPull
(Backflush happens when the job is moved through operation), Assembly Pull (Backflush happens when the assembly is
completed, Supply (Material is supplied by supplier).
 Mutually Exclusive and Optional: This is applicable for Model and Option class components. All components are mandatory
on Standard and Planning Bill. Pl refer the below diagram

March 14, 2024 44

 BOM – Fixed Component Usage
Benefits
 Support for materials having fixed usage irrespective of the job size for discrete WIP job, OSFM lot-based jobs or Flow
manufacturing
 Accurate valuation of assembly cost where fixed quantities of materials are used for a job

In the Basis column on the Bill of Material, a component can be set as “Lot”. These components have a fixed consumption
quantity for any output quantity.

March 14, 2024 45

Common BOM

(N) Navigation: BOM>BOM> Tools>Common Bill

 If two or more organizations manufacture the same item using the same bill of material, you can define the bill in one
organization and reference it from the other organizations. Necessary changes must then be made to the referenced bill.
You can create a common bill within the same organization, and across multiple organizations. You have the option to
create common bills in all organizations under the current organization in the chosen organization hierarchy, or create
common bills in all organizations that have the same item master organization as the current organization and are
accessible by the user responsibility. Sharing bills across multiple organizations minimizes the maintenance of your bills
of material.

Substitute

(N) Navigation: BOM>BOM>

Substitute

 You can assign any number of substitute items to each bill component and you can assign the same substitute item to
more than one component. The substitute item quantity is the quantity needed to replace the full component quantity.
The quantity can differ from the component usage quantity.
 Planning bills and model, option class, and planning components cannot have substitute components.

March 14, 2024 48

Reference Designators
(N) Navigation: BOM>BOM> Designators

 Reference designators are sequenced comments and instructions that pertain to a component. For example, you may
have drawings that clarify the assembly process for certain components, or further instructions for the use of a large
quantity of the same component. You can specify whether to assign one reference designator for every usage of the
component or assign any number of reference designators to the component.
 Planning bills and model, option class, and planning components cannot have reference designators.

March 14, 2024 49

BOM Attachments
(N) Navigation: BOM>BOM> Attachments

 You can attach documents to bills of material or to routing operations.

 You can attach text and files, such as spreadsheets, graphics, and OLE objects to bills of material, engineering
change orders, routings, routing revisions, and routing operations. For example, an attached file may include
comments, such as a graphical representation of the bill structure, or detailed instructions and schematic
diagrams for routing operations.

A Simple Representation of a MODEL BOM
LEVEL 2:

March 14, 2024 79

 A Simple Representation of a MODEL BOM
Assumptions & Explanation for Level 2:

Assumptions:

• CPU is a Mandatory Item along with every computer

• Key-Board is optional for the customer, but if wants to buy can only buy

either or the other.

• Monitor and Mouse, are Mandatory but customer can choose his model.

Explanations:

• CPU – Not choosing Optional and Mutually exclusive, makes it mandatory

component in a BOM and will go along with the computer.

• Key board - being a customer Optional, Optional check box is selected,

since only one model can be selected if agreed to buy, Mutually exclusive

check box is selected so that it with Joy stick is selected, the other

becomes inactive.

• Monitor and Mouse – Since this is mandatory along with computer, optional

box is unchecked and since he has to choose either or the other, mutually

exclusive is checked. March 14, 2024 80

 A Simple Representation of a MODEL BOM
Explanation for Level 3:

• Monitor and Mouse are optional items, the various makes of these

components are marked as Optional.

• Every option out of this BOM will be a sub-assembly or Purchased Item or

Manufactured Finished goods.

This BOM can further grow based on the customer requirements, but made short for

understanding purpose. This is just an example and help you model your actual

business requirements using these combinations.
