Baan BOM Parameters

Maintain BOM Parameters


Session:   tibom0100m000

Application: This session defines parameters relevant to Bill of Material

Field Data:

1.BOM Unit of Measurement

The unit in which the length and width are specified on production bills of materials. This 
unit is displayed after the fields "Length" and "Width" in various sessions of BAAN 
Manufacturing.  The data to be entered must be defined in the session "Maintain Units 
(tcmcs0101m000)".

2. Description

Description of Bill of Material.

3. Maintain BOM by Operation

The value of this field determines how data is maintained in the session "Maintain 
Production BOMs (tibom1110m000)" and how the session "Enter Material Issue for 
Production Orders (ticst0101m000)" is used. 

If Yes, then while you enter data in the session "Maintain Production BOMs 
(tibom1110m000)", the system will ask you to type in the item code as well as the 
operation, allowing you to define a bill of material by operation. Consequently, the 
session "Enter Material Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m000)" must be run by 
operation.
 In actual practice, you define a bill of material by operation for items with a longer lead 
time. Thus, you prevent components from being stocked too early, either in the 
warehouse or on the shop floor.

If No, then while entering data in the session "Maintain Production BOMs 
(tibom1110m000)", you only type in the item code, after which you can define the 
components that make up the end item.
