Why Use This Procedure?
The purpose of this procedure is to facilitate:
For incorporated parts, you create BOM lists in the Preparation procedure on structure or main parts.
Any changes made in the procedure are logged in the Preparation log.
Replacing Parts
You can use this procedure when for example a purchase part, that is used in a structure part, no longer is included in the supplier's stock and will be replaced by a new part. The purchase part that has become obsolete is selected in the Search Form in the left field called Part Number, and the new part is selected in the right field called New part number. However, you must first create the new part in the part register.
If you have selected the "New part number" you can, once the BOM lists have been loaded into the window, deselect the rows in which the part should not be replaced in the Replace column, by unchecking the respective boxes. You can also change the "For operation" quantity under the FOP column and the incorporated quantity under the Quantity column for all rows.
When saving, the program will review all BOM lists in the entire part register and the part will be replaced for all rows that are selected under the Replace column. If you have made changes in the "For operation" and "Quantity" fields, this information is also updated.
Deleting a Part
If the field New part number is left empty, you can select the preparations where you want to remove the selected part.
Only Updating "For Operation" or "Quantity"
Another way of using this procedure is when the quantity entered in the "For operation" or incorporated "Quantity" columns for a part shall be changed in all BOM lists. The part that shall be changed is then entered in the left field called Part number. You should then leave the right field called New part number empty.
Once the BOM lists have been loaded into the window, you can make changes in the FOP and Quantity columns.
If you are using material overflow, which is determined by the setting Use material overflow under the heading Preparation under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure, you will also see the column called Extra(%) in your BOM lists where you can update the reported share of material overflow in percentage form.
When you Save, the program reviews all BOM lists in the entire part register and replaces the information entered on the selected rows.
