The function of the C.20.22.02 MIR by BOM Commodity (GroupBy) screen is similar to the C.20.22.01 MIR by BOM Commodity screen, described in MIR by BOM Commodity. In addition, this screen allows you to group material issue reports (MIRs) by attribute values.
Creating a MIR is described in MIR by BOM Commodity.
Afterwards, you can populate the MIR with BOM list positions either by LOV or by tree.
Click the Populate by Tree button to open the B.20.01 Search and Select screen.
The Pos. Available indicator shows whether positions are available or not for the list node.
Select the Sel check box for all nodes to be inserted on the main screen, or click the Select all button to select all displayed nodes. To cancel a selection, click the Unselect all button. Click the Fill in button to insert the selected nodes and to close the LOV. To close the LOV without inserting any node, click the X at the upper right corner of the LOV.
To search particular BOM nodes in the tree, you can use the basic or the advanced search function. To use the basic search, enter the search string in the Search for List Node field and click the Search button. You can use wildcards like % or _ for the search string.
The search result appears in a separate window. See picture below.
Select the Sel check box for all nodes to be inserted on the main screen, or click the Select all button to select all displayed nodes. To cancel a selection, click the Unselect all button. Click the Fill in button to insert the selected nodes and close the LOV. To close the LOV without inserting any node, click the Close button.
To use the advanced search function, click the Advanced Search button on the B.20.01 Search and Select LOV screen. You can enter further search criteria on Window 3.
This functionality allows you to search not only for the node name, but also for node attributes, groups, parts, commodity codes, idents, and tag numbers. Enter the search string in the Search for field; you can use wildcards like % or _.
Next, select a search option. Available options are ‘With all words’, ‘With exact phrase’, and ‘With at least one of the words’. Finally, you can specify which fields are to be browsed by selecting the corresponding check box. You can select node name, node attributes, group, part, commodity code, ident code, and/or tag number.
The search result appears in the same window as the basic search; see the picture above.
The B.20.01 Search and Select screen can also be opened by double-clicking in the List Node field of the second block or by clicking the LOV button in this field.
Another way to populate list nodes is to click the Populate by LOV button to open Window 3.
Here you can select the Sel check box of all list nodes to be populated. Then click the Populate List Nodes button to close Window 3 and to copy the list positions of the selected list nodes to the MIR. The Deselect All button cancels the selection.
You can use the pre-defined sort orders from the Sort Order Selection area to change the sort order of the list positions in the second block. With the Column w/o Scrolling option, the placement of the Ident Code and Tag Number fields is controlled. The selected field is placed on the non-scrollable area; the other field is placed on the scrollable area of the screen.
For field descriptions and how to approve, post, and unpost a MIR, and how to create a revision, see MIR by Reservation.
The BOM Best Qty uses only Site Status check box at the top of the screen controls which issue statuses the best quantity algorithm should consider. Unchecked means any issue status is considered. If the indicator is checked, only issue statuses marked as Use on Site on B.10.08 are considered.
You must set this check box to the necessary setting before you populate issue line
items from the BOM; changing the check box afterwards has no effect on issue records
already present.
If the Include Issued Qty Total = 0 indicator is selected (default), the list nodes with issue qty = 0 are populated. If this indicator is not selected, only list nodes with issue qty > 0 are populated.
