Fields

Field

Description

The BOM identification number for the selected BOM version.

The unique, user-defined code that is assigned when items are created.

The number of units of the item that is 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 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. If the production process involves a gain of the current item, instead of consumption of the item, specify a negative quantity.

Select an item configuration to specify an item with specific attributes. For more information about configuration, see More Help….

Specify the size of the item.

Specify the color of the item.

Enter the warehouse in which you store your items.

The number of units for which the field is valid. For example, if quantity = 1, unit = liter, per series = 100 then 1 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, which is retrieved from the field in the form Item (form). Otherwise, the field is blank.

Select or edit the configuration group for the item.

Assign positions to items to sort or rearrange item order on BOM lines. (Items can be of type Item or BOM.)

Example

Item number

Position

Item 00A

3

Item 00B

2

Item 00C

1

Use the position sorting criteria to retrieve a sequentially ordered list of items on the BOM line according to position.

For the example above:

Item 00C

Item 00A

Item 00B

The vendor account ID for vendor line items. If this field is blank, vendor account information is retrieved from the work-center group setup.

Select whether the line is the , , or type. Depending on your selection, the line is handled differently.

Specifiy where in the route sequence you want the item to be used. If it is blank, the item is picked for the first operation. Operation numbers can be selected from defined routes in the form. Route operations on route version (form)

Select this check box to use the BOM line in BOM calculations. BOM calculations determine the cost price and sales prices for the bill of materials, depending on profit settings. BOM calculations give 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, in addition to 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 blank, the active BOM version is used.

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

The product model ID.

The date from which the BOM line is valid.

The last date the BOM line is valid.

The consumption calculation formula. The options are as follows:

  • - The consumption is not proportional with any dimension of the finished item, and the quantity entered is the number that is used for the finished item.

  • Height * Constant

  • Height * Width * Constant

  • Height * Width * Depth * Constant

  • (Height * Width * Depth / Density) * Constant

Raw material consumption in the current BOM line is proportional with one or more dimensions in the finished item. If there is proportionality, measurement-based management is useful because only one bill of material and one item must be created to apply to all measurements of the finished item.

An example of using measurements could be a board with customized measurements for each customer. The consumption of the raw material depends on the measurements that are used to cut the board. This is why 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 to be the number of coats for painted articles, because the raw materials consumption is also proportional to the number of times the article is to be painted. A measurement is a formula for calculation that can be used for any purpose.

The fields in the tab are conversion factors that are included in the measurement calculation with the dimension of the finished item.

For example, if calculating the consumption of paint for a board measuring 2 x 2 feet, 4 square feet must be converted to a quantity of paint, in gallons. This is done with the help of these conversion factors.

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

Specify a constant scrap value. Scrap is calculated in the unit that is specified in the BOM line. Scrap is used to calculate adjusted raw-material consumption in BOM lines.

Specify a variable scrap value. Variable scrap is indicated as a percentage, where 10% is written as 10.00. 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.

  • - Microsoft Dynamics AX does not register consumption automatically. You must enter it manually on the picking list.

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

Note Note

To enable automatic consumption, use this field together with the field when you update the production order.

Specify the type of rounding-up to use. Rounding-up is used if the raw materials are consumed in specific quantities.

Options include the following:

  • - Rounding-up is not used.

  • - Quantity must be a multiple of the given quantity. For example, when whole numbers are required, specify 1.00 in the Multiplesfield. Numbers are always rounded to quantities divisible by 1.00.

  • Rounding-up according to measurements is used when a raw material comes in specific dimensions.

  • When rounding-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. This is used when consumption of a raw material can only be used in certain quantities, and the rest of the raw material is considered scrap.

Example

Calculation when rounding up:

  1. Determine the sales quantity based on the measurement dimensions, as in the above example in which the quantity = 2.

  2. Determine the number of times the measurement sales quantity can be divided into multiples. In the example above, this means 5 / 2 = 2.5. The sales quantity is rounded down to 0 (zero) decimals, which is 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 that is needed to produce a specific quantity is known. In the example above, a 5-foot rod produces 2 pieces of 2-foot rod. If the production quantity for the finished item is 10 units, 10 / 2 = 5 multiplesare used. Because each multiple is 5 feet, consumption is calculated to 5 multiples x 5 feet = 25 feet.

Calculation without rounding up:

  1. The consumption is calculated as 10 units x 2-foot pieces = 20 feet. When rounding up according to measurement, the system calculates automatically that with a production of 10 units, there will be 5 feet of 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 multiples are set it to 25.

The production quantity for the finished item is 20 units, and 2 quarts of paint must be 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, or scrap, of 10 quarts is automatically calculated.
