Use this screen to load information about end items, their serial numbers, and the configurations that will be used to build them. This screen is designed as a planning and reference tool that, when linked with Costpoint Production Control and Material Requirements Planning (MRP), automatically feeds proper MBOM configuration and effectivity date information based on the project or serial number for which the end item is being produced. Do not use these links for as-built purposes, unless you need to reconcile the planned configuration with the actual as-built configuration for a serial number.
You can enter starting and ending serial numbers and/or MBOM as-of dates. If you enter a starting serial number and the ending serial number is left blank, that configuration will be used for all serial numbers of that part after the starting serial number is reached. You can also link projects to individual part/revision/configuration combinations.
Use this screen to establish and maintain relationships between configurations and serial numbers. To facilitate production planning and control, use this screen before creating MBOMs.
