VIEW WHERE-USED BILLS OF MATERIAL

Use this screen to view an inverted bill of material (BOM) for a selected component part number. You can view only one component part/revision at a time. You can select the number of assembly levels to display and which configurations to include.

If the Use Engineering Bills of Material check box is selected in the BOM Corporate Settings block of the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen, you can use this inquiry to search for engineering bills of material (EBOM) components and assembly information. If the check box is not selected, EBOM information is not accessible.

After you select a component part and its specifications, click on the toolbar to load the assembly information on the table window.

Location

Component

This group box provide basic information about the component.

Part

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the ID of the assembly or parent part of the BOM to view based on the BOM Type. The part description displays in the unlabeled field below.

If you select the Manufacturing option in the BOM Type group box, you can enter or select  only standard parts for this field.

If you select Engineering from the BOM Type group box, you can use the Part Lookup Type drop-down list to select whether to enter or lookup standard or provisional parts in this field.

Rev

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the Part revision.

Lookup Type

Use this drop-down list to specify whether to lookup Standard or Provisional parts in the Part field. This field is automatically set to Standard when you select Manufacturing from the BOM Type drop-down list. 

Make/Buy

This field displays M (Make) if the part is manufactured or B (Buy) if it is purchased.

BOM Level

Use this group box to specify BOM level explosions you want to view.

BOM Levels

Use this drop-down list to specify the component levels you want to view. The available options are:

• Single-Level — Select this option to include only the first-level components of this assembly.

• All Levels — Select this option to include all components of this assembly with their related level numbers.

• Specify — Select this option to explode components of this assembly up to a specific number of levels. Use the adjacent unlabeled field to enter the number of levels you want to include on this inquiry.

BOM Configurations

Use this group box to customize the report to print BOMs for all configurations, a specific configuration, or a specific date.

Show All Configurations

Select this check box to view the components for all configurations/effectivities of the parent part. This option is available only if you select Single Level from the BOM Levels drop-down list.

Clear this check box to view component information based on the As of Date and Configuration fields.

As of Date

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the component effective date. Costpoint will load only those lines with effective starting and ending dates corresponding to this date. This field is disabled if the Show All Configurations check box is selected.

Configuration

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the BOM configuration ID you want to view.

This field is enabled if you select the Use Configuration IDs check box in the BOM Corporate Settings block of the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen.

If you enter a configuration ID, the data on the Component Lines table window depends on whether that configuration ID appears on a given assembly line. If a line exists with the entered configuration ID, that line will print. If no line exists with the entered configuration ID, but there is a line without a configuration ID, the line without a configuration ID will print. If a line cannot be found that contains either the entered configuration ID or an empty configuration ID field, no line will print.

BOM Type

Use this group box to run the inquiry against the assembly part's manufacturing bills of material (MBOM) or engineering bills of material (EBOM), based upon the BOM type selection.

Manufacturing

Select this option to run the inquiry against the assembly part's MBOM. You can enter only standard parts in the Part field when you select this option.

Engineering

Select this option to run the inquiry against the assembly part's EBOM. You can select either standard or provisional components in the Part field if you select this option. This option is enabled when you select the Use Engineering Bills of Materials check box in the BOM

Table Window

This table window provides details about the assembly lines of the component part, subject to the selection criteria.

Line

This field displays the line number that identifies the assembly part.

Find No

This field displays the drawing find number for the assembly part.

Assembly Part

This field displays the identification code of the assembly part.

Assy Rev

This field displays the assembly part revision.

Latest Rev

This field displays the latest assembly part revision.

Assembly Description

This field displays the description of the assembly part.

Part Security

This field is visible only if the Use Part Data Security Controls check box is selected on the Configure Product Definition Settings screen, which indicates that the assembly part is subject to data security restrictions, as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).

If enabled, this field displays one of the following values to indicate whether the part you are accessing is subject to part data security restrictions and whether you have the necessary authorization to access information for that part:

• Unrestricted — The part is not subject to data security restrictions.

• Restricted — The part is subject to data security restrictions and that you are authorized to access detailed part information.

• ***UNAUTHORIZED***  — The part is subject to data security restrictions and you are not authorized to access or view part information. This value is displayed in red background color.

If you are unauthorized to access assembly parts or revisions that are subject to data security restrictions, then you will not be able to create or edit BOMs that contain restricted assembly parts or revisions.

Assembly Part Status

This field displays the assembly part's release status. The various statuses are:

• Released

This field displays the quantity type code. The various types are:

• A (Per Assembly) — The component quality will be multiplied by the number of the assembly to be created.

• O (Per Order) — The component quantity will be required for each assembly manufacturing or purchase order created.

• R (As Required)  — The component requirements are not generated for this assembly.

Quantity

This field displays the component part quantity for the assembly of this BOM.

Multiplied-Out Comp Qty Per Assembly
