2.4 View Indented BOM

  • Form Application: Bills of Material
  • Form Name: BOMFQBIN
  • Form Path: /oracle/apps/r12/visr12/apps/apps_st/appl/bom/12.0.0/forms/US/BOMFQBIN.fmx

Bills of Material (BOM) is always setup as single level. For a multi level BOM, each parent must be setup with its components separately (single level). View Indented BOM is a screen where a multi level view of BOM can be displayed for better user interaction and drill down. This is view only screen and can’t be used for any changes to BOM.

Navigation: BOM responsibility -> Bills -> Indented Bills

Enter the search crietria

  • Select parent/assembly ‘item’
  • Enter the parent ‘quantity’ – this is used to explode and see the required component quantity
  • Enter the ‘levels’ to explode.
  • Select the display options
  • Click ‘Find’ to view the indented BOM.

Once level ‘1’ BOM is displayed, you can expand and collapse using ‘+’ and ‘-‘ icons. You can also see the all other compoenent level information.

2.3 Create Common BOM

 

  • Form Application: Bills of Material
  • Form Name: BOMFDBOM
  • Form Path: /oracle/apps/r12/visr12/apps/apps_st/appl/bom/12.0.0/forms/US/BOMFDBOM.fmx

Bills Of Material (BOM) is a list of components required to manufacture its parent (assembly) item. To manufacture any assembly setting up BOM is critical. BOMs can be primary BOM, alternate BOM and Common BOM.

Common BOM is shared by multiple organizations, so it is define onece and managed in one orgs, but changes all visible in all common organizations. In this tutorial you will learn on how to create Common BOM.

Navigation: BOM responsibility -> Bills -> Create Common Bills

Concurrent program ‘Create Common Bills’ opens up. Enter the parameters.

  • Scope – Single or multiple organizations.
  • Hierarchy – Select hierarchy if multiple organizations.
  • Common Item from – Select the Item to be commoned
  • Common Organization To – Select the Common Organization
  • Enable Attributes Update – Select ‘YES’ or ‘NO’

Submit the concurrent request. Once completed open the BOM view the new common BOM.

2.2 Create Alternate BOM

  • Form Application: Bills of Material
  • Form Name: BOMFDBOM
  • Form Path: /oracle/apps/r12/visr12/apps/apps_st/appl/bom/12.0.0/forms/US/BOMFDBOM.fmx

Bills Of Material (BOM) is a list of components required to manufacture its parent (assembly) item. Some times there are several ways to manufacture the same assembly item. Each variations in manufacturing methods calls for variation is BOM components and routing operations. Alternate BOMs helps to capture alternate bills of material for each variation.

Alternate BOM creation is similar to Primary BOM creation except and alternate is assigned. Alternate codes must be setup first before they can be used in alternate BOMs/Routings.

Navigation: BOM responsibility -> Bills -> Bills

  • Enter the assembly Item number for which BOM is setup
  • Select the BOM revision and effective date
  • Select the ‘Alternative’ code for BOM
  • Go to the ‘MAIN’ tab
  • Enter the ‘Item Sequence’
  • Enter the ‘Operation Sequence’ . Routing operations must be setup for this assembly prior to using operation sequence.
  • Enter the ‘Component’ item
  • Select the ‘Basis’ as Item or Lot. Lot basis means irrespective of WIP Job quantity same component quantity is needed. Item basis means it is the component quantity needed to manufacture ‘1’ quantity of assembly item.
  • Enter the ‘Component quantity’
  • Select the effective dates for the components
  • Select the planning percentages and yield
  • Check ‘Include in cost-rollup’ to include the component cost in assembly cost roll-up
  • Under ‘Material Control’ tab select the ‘Supply Type’.
    • PUSH – Manually issued to WIP Job
    • OPERATION PULL – Automatically back flushed when operation is completed
    • ASSEMBLY PULL – Automatically back flushed when assembly is completed
    • PHANTOM – This will be ignored, only sub-components of phantom item is considered
  • Navigate to next line to add more components.
  • Click ‘Save’ to save the BOM just now created
