Common data > BOMs > Print BOMs 

The BOM print function is used to list the BOM links of a given parent product on a specified level or all lower levels.

A work file is generated from the entered selections.

This print must not be requested from the Reports general function (because the content of the work file is not guaranteed).

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

This is the list of components for which the calculation is carried out.

 

Block number 2

  • BOM code type from (field ALTTYPDEB)

 

  • BOM code type to (field ALTTYPFIN)

 

  • BOM code from (field ALTDEB)

The code specifies the BOM in which the search for components is done.

SEEINFO BOMs without inquiry authorization rights for the user are not taken into account in the process. This inquiry authorization is indicated via access codes defines in the BOM profile and table.

  • BOM code to (field ALTFIN)

 

  • Reference date (field DATREF)

The reference date is used to select the products according to their validity start date and end date.
The entry of a date dated 00/00/00 is used to select all the products irrespective of their validity date.

SEEINFO The reference date cannot be equal to zero or be earlier than the current date.

Entering a storage site is not mandatory. 
However, a storage site should be entered for multi-level prints, in order to determine the site for the product-site of the component whose BOM must be printed. The BOM code type (manufacturing or subcontracting) depends on the suggestion type associated to the component product-site.

  • Suggestion type = Manufactured --> BOM code type = Manufacturing
  • Suggestion type = Subcontracting --> BOM code type = Subcontracting
  • Suggestion type = Without --> BOM code type = same as the BOM code of the component BOM print

Enter, select or build an Enterprise Management filter calculation expression using the formula editor.

 An error message is displayed if you refer to tables which are not generally used by the configurator, or to unknown variables.

Block number 3

  • field FIL3

 

  • Multilevel print (field TRT)

This flag is used to select the elements to process.

SEEINFO The user can choose to print only the first level links, the last level links, or the multi-level BOM.

    Result retrieval

    The user can use the first part to specify selection criteria.

    The report window is displayed after validation.

    • The net quantities are the ones displayed (the loss percentage of BOM links is never taken into account in the quantity calculation).
    • in the event of a multi-level report, the quantities are calculated from the basic quantity of the parent product

    Specific Buttons

    The Cancel button is used to delete the records of the temporary file created for the current session report.

    On entering the function, the temporary records of the current user prior to the current date are deleted.
