Select a formula to use for calculating raw material consumption in the BOM line.

You can use a formula to set up consumption for an item so that it is proportionate to one or more dimensions of the finished item. The fields , , , , and are conversion factors that are included in the measurement calculation.

For example, you can measure how much paint it takes to paint one square foot of a wooden board.

The options are as follows:

  • – Consumption is not proportional with any dimension of the finished item. Enter the quantity that is used for the finished item.

Raw material consumption in the current BOM line is proportional with one or more dimensions in the finished item.

For example, when you calculate the consumption of paint for a board measuring 2.00 x 2.00 feet, the total of 4.00 square feet must be converted to a quantity of gallons of paint. This is completed with the help of these conversion factors.

If there is proportionality, measurement-based management is useful because only one bill of materials and one item must be created that apply for all measurements of the finished item.

For example, there could be a board with customized measurements for each customer. The consumption of the raw material depends completely on the measurements used to cut the board, so the consumption can also be calculated automatically.

A configuration dimension can be redefined to determine other characteristics in relation to the finished item. For example, the height dimension can be defined instead to be the 'number of coats' for painted items, because the raw materials consumption in that case is proportional with the number of times the item will be painted.

The number of components of the item included in one unit or one series of the BOM item. If the quantity is calculated per series, indicate the basis of the series in the field.

For example, a certain BOM item is generally referred to in 100-pound packages. If there are 10 pounds of component item A per 100-pound package, the quantity would be 10 per series 100.

Specify a negative quantity if the current item is produced rather than consumed.

The number of units for which the field is valid.

Example

Quantity = 1, unit = liter, per series = 100.

One liter of the item is required to produce 100 finished BOM items.

The unit in which the field is given. The BOM unit is used as the default. It is retrieved from the field in the form. Otherwise, the field is left blank.

Select whether consumption has a variable or constant volume/quantity.

Specify a constant scrap value. Scrap is calculated in the unit of measure specified in the BOM line, such as centimeters or inches. Scrap is used to calculate adjusted raw-material consumption in BOM lines. For example, some material is used to calibrate the machine before operation.

More Help…

Use this field to specify a variable scrap value. Variable scrap is indicated in percent. Scrap is used to calculate corrected raw-material usage in the BOM lines.

Select the method of registering item consumption against a production order. The options are as follows:

  • – Enable automatic consumption when you update a production order to the start phase. This is the default setting for a new item and an existing item that is updated.

  • – Enable automatic consumption when you update a production order to the report as finished phase.

  • – The program does not register consumption automatically. You must enter it manually on the picking list.

If you leave this field empty, the setting on the item is used.

Note Note

Automatic consumption can be used only if the field on the form has been set.

Select the line type:

Depending on the selection, the line is handled is differently.

When this check box is selected, the BOM line is used in BOM calculations. BOM calculations determine the cost price and sales prices for the bill of materials based on profit settings. BOM calculations provide the estimated BOM prices on all BOM levels. Therefore, the contribution of a single item or operation to the price of the BOM level can be determined, and also the contribution of all items and operations on a specific level.

The calculations also provide an overview of summarized costs for cost groups. This provides the contribution of a cost group on a particular BOM level.

For more information, see BOM calculation (BOMCalcTable) Form.

For sub-BOM lines only, select an alternative BOM version to use when changing sub-BOM versions for a finished item. If this field is empty, the active BOM version is used.

For sub-BOM lines only, select the route number to use for the selected sub-BOM. If this field is empty, the active route is used.

Product model identification.

The first date that the BOM line is valid.

The last date that the BOM line is valid.

Use this field to allow quantities or consumption to be rounded up according to the chosen method. Rounding up is used if the raw materials are consumed in specific quantities.

The options are:

  • The quantity to round up to must be a multiple of the given quantity.

    For example, when whole numbers are required, specify 1.00 in the field. Numbers will always be rounded to quantities divisible by 1.00.

  • Round up according to measurement when a raw material comes in specific dimensions.

    For example, steel rods frequently come in a fixed length. From a length of five feet, two 2-foot pieces are needed: therefore, there will always be a fixed scrap value of one foot for every five feet of rod. In this case, the value in the field is set to 5.

    Round up

    1. Determine the sales quantity based on the measurement dimensions/. In the example, the quantity = 2.

    2. Determine the number of times the measurement sales quantity can be divided into multiples. In the example, 5/2 = 2.5. The sales quantity is rounded down to 0 (zero) decimals, so 2.5 = 2. That formula means that a 5-foot long steel rod can be cut into two, 2-foot pieces.

    3. Calculate consumption because the number of multiples needed to produce a specific quantity is known. In the example, a 5-foot rod produces two pieces of 2-foot rod. If the production quantity for the finished item is 10 units, then 10/2 = 5 multiples are used. Because each multiple is 5 feet, consumption is calculated to 5 multiples x 5 feet = 25 feet. If the same calculation was done without rounding up according to measurement, the consumption would have been calculated as 10 units x 2-foot pieces = 20 feet total. When rounding up according to measurement, the system calculates automatically that with a production of 10 units, there will be 5 feet of scrap.

  • When you round up according to consumption, the estimated consumption is rounded up so that it is divisible by the number of units the raw material comes in. Use this method when a raw material can only be used in certain quantities, and the rest of the raw material is considered scrap.

    Example

    Paint is stored in inventory in 25-quart cans. When it is taken from inventory, it is taken in 25-quart can increments. In this case, rounding up according to consumption is selected and the value in the field is set to 25.

    The production quantity for the finished item is 20 units, and 2 quarts of paint is used for each unit. Consumption is calculated as 20 units x 2 quarts = 40 quarts. When rounded up to a multiple of 25, 50 quarts of paint are required. When rounding up according to consumption, excess consumption (scrap) of 10 quarts is automatically calculated.
