 New R12 Features in BOM

•Fixed Component Usage Supports

•Inverse Component usage

•Material Control Updates for Common Bills

3
 Fixed Component Usage
•Models the fixed usage

•Models the fixed + variable usage

e.g. Setup/Startup usage (fixed test/scrap quantity)

•Analogous to lot based resource

Black Flush at first use
Reverse only when entire quantity is reversed

•Used by WIP, Flow, OSFM, Cost, Planning

5
 Inverse component usage

•Enter the inverse quantity

1 component per X assembly
•Result is stored un-rounded

•Benefits:
More accurately determine required quantity
Avoid undesirable usage variances

 Update Material Control in common
bills
• While retaining a common BOM relationship, users
can update the following attributes at the org level:

Operations Sequence
WIP Supply Type
Sub-inventory
Locator
Include in Cost Rollup

• Benefits
Facilitates the standardization by deploying
common bills
Enables the organization overrides

 Reservation of Discrete Job as
Source of Supply
Reservation of Discrete Job as Source of Supply through Inventory
Reservation Form

In addition to the currently available modes to reserve supplies from a

Discrete Job, users can manually reserve the output of jobs through
Inventory reservation forms by selecting a Discrete Job as a source of
supply while establishing reservations against a source of
demand.

 Reservation of Completed Serialized
Assemblies

Reservation of Completed Serialized Assemblies through Inventory

Reservation Form

From this release, users can reserve completed serialized assemblies

against sources of demand through Inventory reservations forms.
A reservation record can be created by selecting and reserving specific
serialized assemblies against a sales order line or other sources of
demand.

21
 Mobile Return of Assembly Reserved
to a Sales Order

Mobile Assembly Return screens have been enhanced to provide greater

flexibility in referencing Sales Order details while performing assembly
return transactions. When such a transaction is performed, assembly
quantity reserved against the referenced sales order is reduced by the
appropriate amount.

22
 Scheduling Workbench Enhancement
Job & Resource workbenches have been enhanced through the support of the following
features:

Print Gantt Charts

Users now have the ability to print Gantt charts, often used as referable hard copies in
a production shop floor. Apart from generating the print preview, this feature
supports customizing the printout content such as printing the Gantt chart by:
• Specifying the date and time range for the printout
• Specifying the level of details in the Gantt Print (Jobs only, Jobs scaled
down to Operation level, Jobs with operations scaled down to the resource
level, Resource only, Resources scaled down to the Resource instance level,
etc)
• Printing the snapshot of the “as is” Gantt view
• Printing Gantt for a chosen timeline bucket
• Limiting the number of jobs or resources to avoid a cluttered display
In addition to the above features, users will be able to specify page setup options and
revert back to the original Gantt view after printing.

 Genealogy Enhancements

In many industries because of complex manufacturing, predominant

outsourcing, and rigid traceability requirements as in medical devices, it
is necessary to identify and build genealogy for each end assembly by
linking it to the various lot and/or serialized components manufactured or
procured from suppliers. To support this critical need, users
now have a combined view of lot and serial genealogy in one inquiry. In
addition, operators performing completion transactions can tie
component lot and/ or serial numbers directly to the parent assembly
eliminating the intervening callout to a job.
These enhancements enable stricter controls in material movement such
as validation of lot number for component returns from a job back to
inventory.

26
 Enhancements to Lot/Serial Entry
during Backflush
In the desktop forms application, single lot information can be entered in
the backflush window, for one or more components, when the
transaction quantity for a component comes from a single lot.

When there are multiple backflush transactions for the same component
for the same job, you can set the system to automatically default lot
numbers used in the previous transactions. Usability features have been
added including visual indicators for data entry and labeling on the Lot
and Serial button corresponding to the information needed
