Item Code

The code identifying the item defined in a product structure. Mandatory. If the item or planning group is specified, the system automatically retrieves the bill of material details. The system ensures that at least one of the item code or planning group is entered and only one of item or planning group is entered. The item should be valid for the explosion date.

 

Press <Enter> key.

 

The item code should not be left blank. It should exist in the item master and should be in “Active” status. The item should be valid for the explosion date. If the variant is left blank, then the item is checked for any variants attached to it. If only one variant is attached to the item, then the system defaults the variant. If a variant is specified, then the variant should be valid for the item code. For the specified item code and variant combination, the system retrieves the description, warehouse and UOM.

 

Help facility available.

Plant

Use the drop-down list box to select the valid plants available for the item selected. The system retrieves the warehouse Organization Unit to which “Bill of Material Model” business component Organization Unit is mapped. If item is valid in multiple plants, then all the plants are retrieved. The system displays “Blank” by default on launch of the page.

Warehouse Code

The code identifying the warehouse of the item selected. An item may have more than one warehouse. If the warehouse is left blank, then the system defaults the Standard Warehouse for the Plant selected. If the warehouse is specified, then the warehouse planning parameters should have been defined for the Item Code. 

Across BU

This helps the user to View BOM details for the Item in other Organization Units within the Business Unit if the PS for the Item or one of the Input Items is not available. Select the check box to identify the items defined across other plants.

Save Template

Select the checkbox to save the default fields that can be viewed when the user revisits the activity. The system leaves the box “Unchecked” by default on launch of the page.

Note: In case condition based, the quantity and date is matched with that defined in the product structure and the Bill of Material is displayed for the condition satisfied. In case non-condition based, the Bill of Material is displayed with the PS Category, explosion quantity and date. A valid product structure should exist for the selected Item.

The BOM details can be viewed for an item/planning group, if the PS usage and category fields are not left blank and the use condition checkbox is unchecked.
