Product Structure - Bill of Materials
The Bill of Material, along with Shop Routings, and the Item Master
encompass the Product Data Base. Xdata integrates these modules with
Captured Order Bills and Routings to formulate a feature rich and
accountable manufacturing environment...and you will love our COPY
Features
Warning!
...Bill
of Material Processors DO NOT
all
function the same!
The features seem subtle.. allowing
negative quantities, multiple
occurrences, mated sequence numbers, and
start / stop effective dating,
Captured
Bills and Routings, Prototype isolation…but the dynamics add up quickly.
You need these Features! Xdata has them!! Ask our competition.
Negative
quantities /
Automatic Restocking:
Allowing a negative quantity component in a Product Structure facilitates
restocking of a disassembly; many times putting something together requires
“removing” a component of a subassembly. Xdata
automatically accounts for restocking, and costs the assembly accordingly.
Negative
quantities /
Byproducts: Negative quantities facilitate byproducts, or the creation of an Item as
the result of cutting raw material so that the “scrap” cut off results in
another usable Item. Xdata
automatically adds the byproduct’s quantity to inventory, and costs the
assembly accordingly.
Multiple occurrences
/ Effect dates:
By allowing a component to occur multiple times within a
single level of a Bill, engineering changes such as “quantity per” may be
associated with a given date. Effective
dating is further used to start or eliminate a component from consideration.
Mated
sequence numbers:
This feature allows the Bill of Material to be
orchestrated with the Routing sequence numbers; A Bill of Material is
interleaved into the routing steps to instruct the shop as to when to consume
the components.
Engineering
Prototypes: The ability to isolate an engineering development or prototype Bill of
Material is paramount. Xdata allows
complete isolation until the point Engineering wants to release the Bill as a
standard. The isolation provides development in private, but not a vacuum, as
the Bills may be tested by Costing or Production..
with no affect on the live system. Prototypes are conveniently copied to
production for all to use when released.
Captured Bills and Routings:
When a manufacturing order is
released to production, a copy
of the bill
of Material and the Shop
Routing (process) must be made
in order to allow modifications for
the specific Manufacturing Order.
Without
a copy, you are changing
the standards, which is a big
NO-NO.
Xdata provides the
captures Bill and Routing, and
allows changes to
components,
including adding or deleting,
along with quantity changes.
Similarly, Routing steps/directions
and departments may be modified,
added or deleted for the job.
