Add Item Components on an ECO Bill of Material

When you click ECO items and then click BOM in the ECO Maintenance (ECO) program, you can add, change, and delete an item's components on an engineering change order bill of material. See Background and Road Map for more information.

Enter these fields:

Field Name	Type / Max Length	Action / Description
Action	Required 1 alpha	Select the action for a component: A: add a component to the parent item C: change a component of the parent item D: delete a component from the parent item
Comp item no	Required 24 alphanumeric	Enter the number of the component, click the right Lookup icon to select a component in the ECO, or click the left Lookup and use the standard lookup options to select a component from your database. You cannot use configured product or phantom items in an ECO bill of material.
Part designator	Optional 8 alphanumeric	Enter the identifier your company uses if this component is to be listed on this bill of material more than once. You may call this designator a balloon number, bubble number, file number, material tag, or reference number.

Enter these fields:

Field Name	Type / Max Length	Action / Description
Qty per assy	Required 12 numeric in the format 9999999.99999	Enter the quantity of the component required to build one parent item. For example, if the parent item is a table and the component is a table leg, you would enter 4. You can enter .00000 for a component whose usage is insignificant. If you entered a part designator, components are not consumed in fractional quantities. If you require a decimal, consider selecting a smaller stocking unit of measure. For by-product items, enter a negative quantity per. For example, if you pick a large piece of sheet metal and cut off a small section, enter a negative quantity per under a different component number to return the remaining sheet to stock
Reference code	Optional 4 alphanumeric	Enter a reference that your company uses. For example, you can use this field to associate this component with its balloon or bubble number on the engineering drawing. The Project BOM Listing (PMPL) program can print components in sequence by this reference code rather than in item number order.
Flr stk cd	Required 1 alphanumeric	Accept the displayed code, select 0 to pick this component from on-hand inventory, or select 1 to backflush it from floor stock. The displayed code comes from the Flr stk cd field in the item's record.
LT offset	Optional 5 numeric in the format 999.99	Enter the number of days after a manufacturing order is released that the component is required. For example, an offset of 0 means the component is required when the manufacturing order is released; an offset of 3 indicates that the component is not required until 3 work days after the manufacturing order has been released. The offset cannot be greater than the lead time of the parent. Planning uses the lead-time offset when calculating delivery or due dates.
Setup matl loss	Optional 9 numeric in the format 9999.99999	Enter the quantity of material that you typically lose during the setup of the operation. For example, if the first two items produced after calibrating the machine do not meet quality standards, you would enter 2.
Scrap %	Optional 5 numeric in the format 999.99	Enter the percent of this component that you normally scrap during the manufacturing process. The system increases the quantity required by this scrap factor: (Quantity ordered x Qty per assy) + (Quantity ordered x Qty per assy x Scrap % x 0.1) rounded to the nearest integer. If your scrap factor is 5%, enter 5.00. The Manufacturing Order Maintenance (MIM) and Shop Paper Print (MSP) program adds the results of this calculation to the quantity required.
Effective date	Required 10 date	Accept the displayed login date, select another date, or enter a date shortcut.
Expiration date	Required 10 date	Select the date through which this component will be used for manufacturing orders, enter a date shortcut, or leave blank to use 12/31/9999.
Date revised	Optional 10 date	Accept the displayed login date, select another date, or enter a date shortcut when you revised this BOM.
Component type	Optional 3 alphanumeric	Enter your user-defined code for component type. This field is not used by the system, but you can use it in the custom reports.
Operation seq no	Conditional 4 alphanumeric	If you want to backflush picking, enter the operation sequence number when you want the system to pick this component. For example, if this component is not required until the third operation, enter that sequence number. If you selected the Backflush comps not attached to oper? option for your manufacturing branch in the System Options Maintenance (XM) program (Manufacturing Options), leave blank to pick this component when you enter pieces completed for the first operation. You can enter pieces completed in either the WIP Movement (WIPM) or Labor Entry (LLE) programs or import them with the Labor Import (LEI) program.
Comp reference	Optional 30 alphanumeric	Enter the reference your company uses. Note This field may have a different label based on the Component reference user label option setting for your manufacturing branch in System Options Maintenance (XM) program (Manufacturing Options).
Replacement item?	Optional	Select if you replace this component under warranty or leave blank if you do not.
Critical item?	Optional	Select if this component is critical to this BOM or leave blank if it is not. If you select, the Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS) program displays a C in the Pck? column when you have a shortage of this item.
Subs prohibited?	Optional	Select to prevent a substitution when this item is not available or leave blank to allow substitutions.
