Bill of Materials and Manufacturing Orders tab

You can define Bill of Materials and Manufacturing Orders settings on this tab, e.g., default formulas for Items.

Default Formula for Bill of Materials

ProcessForce provides a flexible methodology for defining the relationship between parent Items, Coproducts, Scrap, Phantoms, Scrap Percentages, and Factors.

When creating a Bill of Material, these default formats are automatically added to each item.

The formula as displayed is added to this tab during the ProcessForce installation process.

Default Formulas

Items:

=U_Quantity()*U_Factor()*Items.U_Factor(<sequence>)*Items.U_Quantity(<sequence>)*100/(100 - Items.U_ScrapPercentage(<sequence>))

Coproducts:

=U_Quantity()*U_Factor()*CoProducts.U_Factor(<sequence>)*CoProducts.U_Quantity(<sequence>)

Scrap:

=U_Quantity()*U_Factor()*Scraps.U_Factor(<sequence>)*Scraps.U_Quantity(<sequence>)

Phantom

=U_Quantity()*U_Factor()*Phantoms.U_Factor(<sequence>)*Phantoms.U_Quantity(<sequence>)

Naming:

Items Tab	Coproducts Tab	Scrap Tab	Phantoms Tab
```U_Quantity = Quantity field value within the form header	U_Quantity = Quantity field value within the form header	U_Quantity = Quantity field value within the form header	U_Quantity = Quantity field value within the form header
U_Factor = Factor field value within the form header	U_Factor = Factor field value within the form header	U_Factor = Factor field value within the form header	U_Factor = Factor field value within the form header
Items.U_Factor = Factor field value	CoProducts.U_Factor = Factor field value	Scrap.U_Factor = Factor field value	Phantom.U_Factor = Factor field value
Items.U_Quantity = Quantity field value	CoProducts.U_Quantity = Quantity field value	Scrap.U_Quantity = Quantity field value	Phantom.U_Quantity = Quantity field value
Items.U_ScrapPercentage = Scrap Percentage field value	CoProducts.U_ScrapPercentage = Scrap Percentage field value	Scrap.U_ScrapPercentage = Scrap Percentage field value	Phantom.U_ScrapPercentage = Scrap Percentage field value
<sequence> = sequence number of the item master	<sequence> = sequence number of the item master	<sequence> = sequence number of the item master	<sequence> = sequence number of the item master

Enable Synchronization

• SAP Business One uses information from the Item Master Data Inventory Data tab to calculate MRP make and buy recommendations requirements.
• ProcessForce uses the SAP Business One MRP Wizard, and this synchronization method allows this integration to occur.
• Additional details are also covered in the MRP Tab

Bill of Materials

• Check this box to have the ProcessForce Bill of Material data sync with the SAP Business One Bill of Material object
• The key data sync to SAP Business One is the values from the Result Column.

Manufacturing Orders

caution

To enable synchronization, the same document numbering series must be set for SAP Production Orders and ProcessForce ManufacturingOrdersr. You can check here how to do that.

• Check this box to have the ProcessForce Manufacturing Order sync with the SAP Business One Production Order object
• The key data sync to SAP Business One is the values from the planned and Actual Quantity

Due Date Synchronization

SAP Production Order has a Due Date on it. On ProcessForce Manufacturing Order, you can set the Required Date and Planned Start Date. You can choose which ProcessForce Manufacturing Order date synchronizes SAP Production Order Due Date.

Default Priority for Production

You can set up Manufacturing Order Priority for Scheduling Board. One is the highest and ten lowest.

In General Settings, you can set up a default priority for all newly created Manufacturing Orders.

Priority Level

Suppose Default Priority is set on Business Partner Master Data level (considered when creating Manufacturing Order from Sales Order by Scheduling Board). In that case, it is taken from there for every newly created Manufacturing Order for this partner:

Path

Suppose Default Priority is set on Business Partner Master Data level (considered when creating Manufacturing Order from Sales Order by Scheduling Board). In that case, it is taken from there for every newly created Manufacturing Order for this partner:

If Default Priority is set up to "0" on Business Partner Master Data, it is taken from General Settings.

Manufacturing Order

You can check (and change – if it is in any other than Finished status) Priority for a specific Manufacturing Order:

Use MRP Minimum Quantity and Order Multiple for Semi Manufacturing Order Quantities checkbox

This option allows us to take Sales Order options (Minimum and Maximum Quantity, Order Multiple) under consideration when creating Semi Finished Manufacturing Orders suggestions on Scheduling Board. This gives the sales operator a tool to accurately estimate arrival time.

Sum Semi Finished checkbox

A new checkbox has been added to the tab: Sum Semi Finished

By default, a separate Manufacturing Order is created for the same Semi Finished Item used more than once on a Manufacturing Order.

Example:

When the same semi-finished material is listed as two sequence steps on a Manufacturing Order to allow binding to different operation steps, two Manufacturing Orders are created for the semi-finished product.

When the checkbox is unchecked, the default behavior is realized.

When the checkbox is checked, one Manufacturing Order is created for all the same Items. It sums the quantity from all of the entries.

Use MRP Maximum Quantity for Semi Manufacturing Orders

Use Resource Balancing

This option allows choosing the most optimal Resource (defined in Production Process / Manufacturing Order Alternative Resources) for a specific task from a Manufacturing Order. Click here to find out more.

Automatically Calculate Ratio on Operations

You have the option to enable the "Automatically Calculate Ratio on Operations" feature in the General Settings, under the ProcessForce, Bill of Materials, and Manufacturing Orders tab. When activated, this feature automatically computes the Ratio (and Quantity). For instance, if you add an Item to two Operations, the ratio will be set to 0.5, and the Binding Quantity will be calculated based on the balance and the corresponding Bill of Materials quantity.
