Assignment of components to more than one operation in routing.

[Former Member]

Hi to all,

I am trying to allocate components of material BoM to more than one operation in routing. I know one way to do it is to define that components again & agin in material BoM & assigned them to operations in routing. Are other ways available to do the same.

Thanks & regards,

what you know is one way,

Otherway is do not assign the material to any operation and manually issue the material in MB1a as required during the production progress.

Hi Rajesh,

Plz go through the scenario & answer the query.

I've already created material BoM with 1 alternative 7 now I'm creating a generic routing where component allocation to be done. My scenario is like:

no. of operations: 3

no. of raw materials used: 4 (suppose A, B, C, D)

no. of semi-finished prod produced & used: 1

no. of finished prod produced: 1

now:

operation 1: Raw material A & B consumed and semi-finished prod is produced

operation 2: semi-finished prod is react with raw material C and the produced material goes to operation no. 3.

operation 3: final treatment is given to product from operation 2 with raw material A & D and finished prod comes out.

Now Question is:

I easily allocate raw material B to operation 1, C to operation 2, D to operation3. But how can I allocate raw material A to operation 1 & operation 3 simultaneously And how should be semi-finished product allocated, whether to operation 1 or operation 2?

Thanks & regards,

Dear,

Now I am clear.

You need to create different 2 BOM and with BOM items, as below,

example - total requirement of material A is say 10.

Semi finished Product- X BOM

BOM item 1 - material A-qty 8

BOM item 2 - material B-qty -5

Finished material Y - BOM

BOM item 1 - semifished material X-qty 10

BOM item 2 - material C-qty 10

BOM item 3 - material A-qty 2

BOM item 4 - material D-qty -2

You need to create above 2 BOM's if you want to see semifished product into inventory, if not proceed as below

Finished material Y - BOM

BOM item 1 - material A-qty 8 assign it to routing operation 10

BOM item 2 - material B-qty -5 assign it to routing operation 10

BOM item 2 - material C-qty 10 assign it to routing operation 20

BOM item 3 - material A-qty 2 assign it to routing operation 30

BOM item 4 - material D-qty -2 assign it to routing operation 30

I think this is the only way you can map it.

hi Rajesh,

I already worked-out in this scenario.

Actually i'm searching for another method for the same.

By the way thanks for your kind help.

what is the another method? please let us know.

IF our answers are useful please rewrd and close.

Abu,

There is no other option apart from the one you already know, that's by having the same components multiple times in the BOM.

HI...

Two things u consider in ur scenario.

You can assign the material in BOM for only one operation.

If you would like to assign for more operations, u have to split the material in the BOM

(need to enter as two different materials), so that you can get the costing operation wise.

It was successful in our scenario (Pharma Domain)

Hi

your query is not clear, i think you want to assign more than one operations for BOM components

Standard way is to create routing and assign as many operations starting from 010 ... as per your requirement for that material/components.

I dont know why you want to create components again & again in material BOM..

Not any other way is possible.
