The Single Bulk Material View tab fields are described below, ordered by their occurrence on the screen.
Pos - Unique position number within the selected node. When you create a new BOM position, the position number is set automatically, based on the ZB_LPSTART (first position number of a node) and ZB_LP_INC (position number increment) project defaults.
Quantity - Ident quantity of the current position. If the ZB_QTY_NEG project default is set to Y, negative quantities can be entered. If you create a position with a Tag number (item type TWM or TOM) and the ZB_TAGQTY project default is set to Y, the quantity must be set to 1.
Unit - Quantity unit to be selected from the LOV. If a unit is assigned to the ZB_UNIT_ID project default, this unit will be set by default when creating a new position.
TSQ Required - This indicator is set by the software. It indicates whether for the selected position a TSQ (transfer site quantities) job must be performed, because the position has site quantities (issue/reserved) in a lower issue status than the highest issue status of the position.
Resv%Sub Qty - Quantity reserved for this position by a forecast/reservation run. This quantity is displayed for information only; it cannot be changed here.
Issue%Sub Qty - Quantity issued for this position with a MIR on site. This quantity is displayed for information only; it cannot be changed here.
Double-click in the Issue%Sub Qty box to open the C.20.22.03 All Changes to BOM Position screen where all related MIRs (material issue reports), Overissue RBWs (return back
to warehouse), and BOM design change logs are displayed.
MLD Issue Qty - Quantity issued for this position with a MIR on site, with issue type 'Miss, Lost or Damage'. When the quantity is shown in red, the material was issued for this position with a different quantity unit. This quantity is displayed for information only; it cannot be changed here.
For more information about reserved quantity, issued quantity, and MLD issue quantity,
read Site Overview.
Status - Issue status of this position, to be selected from the LOV. All issue statuses defined on B.10.08, which are not excluded on window 2 of B.10.08 with the No Display indicator selected, are available for selection.
List Status - The release status to be edited must be given, or in the case of creation, entered. If a list status is assigned to the ZB_LST_ID project default, this list status will be set automatically when creating a new BOM position.
Lst Date - Date when the list status was set for this position.
Lst User - User who set the list status for this position.
Spec Code - Specification. The LOV in this field shows all specifications pre-defined on S.50.06 with a spec rule that has the BOM indicator set on S.50.01. If the Use Incompl. Specs check box is not selected, only specs that are not empty will be displayed. If the ZX_ALLSPEC project default is set to N or not set at all, the LOV will only display issued specs. If the ZX_DP_SPEC project default is set to Y, only specs created in the same discipline as the login discipline are displayed in the LOV.
Next to the spec code the spec revision number is displayed.
Short Code - Short Code. The LOV in this field shows all short codes used in the selected spec. Double-click in the field to open the S.10.08 Short Codes screen.
Option Code - Option Code. The LOV in this field displays the option codes used in the spec.
Item Type - The LOV in this field shows the item types defined on A.10.15 Item Types.
If the ZB_PCKMAIN project default is set to Y and you select an item type with item
rule TWM, TOM, TFM, or REF (tagged item), you can create sub-positions with the same
item type.
Group - Commodity Group. You can use the LOV to select a pre-defined commodity group. Double-click in the field to open the S.10.02 Commodity Group screen.
Part - Commodity Part. You can use the LOV to select a pre-defined commodity part. Double-click in the field to open the S.10.03 Commodity Part screen.
Commodity Code - Commodity Code. Double-click in the field to open the S.30.01 Commodity Codes screen.
Ident Code - Ident Code. Double-click in the field to open the S.80.01 Ident Management screen.
Tag Number - Identifier of a special part. Double-click in the field to open the S.80.25 Tag Description and History screen, where you can update the tag/commodity code description.
Plate Number - Identifier for a steel plate.
Size 1 - Size 5 - Size 1 to size 5 of the ident.
Object Code - This field can be used to hold the relation to a CAD system.
Link BOM - This field specifies the Link Structure Element Name (node name) from the BOM. Use the B.20.01.17 Link BOM screen from B.20.01 Edit BOM to allocate a bill of materials (BOM) to the selected position. For example, a spare parts list can be linked to a position. With this link, only the reference to this BOM is assigned to the position; the items in the spare parts list are not copied.
If the position has a reference to a BOM assigned, you can use the B.20.01.18 Show BOM-Link screen from B.20.01 Edit BOM to display the allocated BOM.
Created By - This field shows how this position was created. For example, B2003 means the position was manually created on B.20.03, LOAD means the position was imported by B.40.01.
Ctrl - Control status.
Rev1/ Rev2 - Revision begin/revision end.
Req - Indicator to define if this position will be included in MTOs.
Reload - Indicator to define if this position can be updated by an OMI load via B.40.01.
Ident Nls/Commodity Code Layout Short - This field shows the description of the selected ident, built by the m_pck_std_custom.ident_desc CIP.
Path - This field shows the entire path of the position’s WBS node.
At the bottom of the Single Bulk Material View tab, the Parent Position Tree appears on the left. The sub positions of the selected position are listed in the Sub Positions block on the right. To go back from a sub position to the parent position, right-click in the Pos field, and select Back to Parent from the shortcut menu.
Position Values
The position attributes defined on B.10.04 or populated from the node attributes are displayed on the Position Values tab on the right.
The Attribute field shows the attribute with its attribute group in the Group field, a hint in the Hint Text field and the unit in the Unit field, as it was defined on the A.50.01 Attributes screen. The Manual check box specifies if this attribute value can be updated manually. If this check box is checked, the attribute value will not be updated by attribute propagation, unless the Allow Update indicator for this attribute is checked on A.50.01. The attribute value must be entered in the Value field. If the attribute was defined with the Mandatory check box selected on B.10.03 or on B.10.04, respectively, the field will be displayed with a green background color. This color indicates that the attribute value must be entered. If the value is not entered before leaving the field or saving the position, the message ‘MAG-00078: Value must be entered’ appears.
By default, the data in this block is sorted in ascending order by attribute group and attribute. You can use the Order By… button to change the sort order. Select the field to be used for sorting from the LOV and click OK. Repeat this if you want to use multiple fields for sorting; otherwise, click Cancel. The sort order is displayed in the Ordered By field on top.
If the ZB_SPAS project default is set to N (default), all position attributes are displayed. If it is set to Y, only attributes to which the user has access (controlled by the list view assigned to the user securities or role) are shown.
Commodity Details
The commodity code properties are displayed on the Commodity Details tab for all item types except TAB.
The Attribute field shows the commodity attribute table name, the Value field shows the table detail (commodity code property), and the Description field shows the table detail description.
By default, the data in this block is sorted in ascending order by attribute. To change the sort order, you can use the Order By… button. Select the field to be used for sorting from the LOV and click OK. Repeat this if you want to use multiple fields for sorting; otherwise, click Cancel. The sort order is displayed in the Ordered By field on top.
Ident Values
Instead of the Commodity Details tab, the Ident Values tab is displayed if the item type of the position is TAB. All attributes assigned to the ident are displayed; the values can be entered or updated.
The Attribute field shows the attribute with its attribute group in the Group field and the unit in the Unit field, as it was defined on the A.50.01 Attributes screen. The attribute value must be entered in the Value field.
By default, the data in this block is sorted in ascending order by attribute group and attribute. To change the sort order, you can use the Order By… button.
