How to Use ItemPlanning for Assembly Products

How to Use ItemPlanning for Assembly Products

Assembly products are handled using the same functions as Manufacturing production orders.
You should therefore access the basic ItemPlanning – BOM function, when working with and analysing Assembly products.
ItemPlanning – BOM will as for production Items give you an easy way to validate any assembly component shortages for a quantity and specific date for the assembled item.

To make a decision on assembly order component shortage, you select an assembly item from the list.

You will now see:

• How many assembly items you have in stock
• How many assemblies you have on order.
• How many assembly items you can build right now.
• See component shortages and earliest delivery dates for the same components at the required date.
• Earliest date for delivery for the quantity in question
• See various additional information using the tooltip menu.
• You have the option to “Limit totals to” using the standard BC function. Normally this will be used to limit totals (show data) to one or more specific locations.

*Please observe that no planning worksheet data are used in the calculations. As assembly orders normally per definition are something which is carried out in the stockroom, logically no planning worksheet data should be involved.
