Exploded (production) parts list

Expanded (production) parts list

Description

This module is used to process order-specific production parts lists. These are the bills of materials which are generated by the system by exploding master bills of materials, taking into account the characteristics and their values specified from a customer order, warehouse order or advance requirement. The term "explosion" refers to the selection of entries from, for example, variant parts list items or the calculation of quantities and/or characteristic values.

As a special feature it should be noted that in the so-called tree view of the parts list, the calculated total quantity is displayed for each parts list entry, although only individual quantities are entered. If you change a quantity on any level in the parts list, all quantities on the levels below are automatically updated, i.e. multiplied out and the required total quantities are displayed.

Normally, ClassiX® assumes that at least a "rough" variant bill of material is defined for each part in the system. This avoids having to define and enter a separate master bill of material for each special case in advance. Within the scope of technical processing and design, this order-specific exploded production bill of materials is then adapted or designed more precisely with regard to parts, characteristic values and quantities. The changes are then only valid for the respective order item.

To quickly create new parts lists, it is possible to drag a part from the parts master into the production parts list structure using the mouse. This way only the quantity needs to be adjusted and if necessary the new item needs to be exploded (if it is an assembly - red gear symbol!).

In principle, however, it is also possible to completely redefine the order-specific production parts list.

Note: If, for example, within an order-specific production bill of materials - which was exploded or generated from a "standard" bill of materials - somewhere on a lower structural level, one part is exchanged for another part, then this production bill of materials no longer "matches" the original "standard" bill of materials. Basically, this is then also a completely new assembly, in general terms, all higher-level parts have been redefined as a result - although they still have their original part number in this production bill of materials. This procedure should therefore only be used in order to be able to quickly and pragmatically comply with any customer request for (simple) "exotic" parts (e.g. exchanging the screws for other screw heads).

As the production parts lists are retained in the system, it is always possible to trace what has been installed where: However, the order itself must always be queried in the system.

It is therefore recommended to make changes to production BOMs only for variant parts (the "uniqueness" of the BOM is anyway only ensured by the characteristic values defined in the order) and possibly to mark a characteristic of such parts with a version.

Attention:
Due to changes in the production bill of materials, it can happen that the routing of the parent part no longer matches the current production bill of materials. In order to be able to find out these items, there is an item"Display number of entries (production bill of material/master bill of material)" in the view options in the menu "Edit".
If this option is set, information is displayed after each line in the production parts list tree: (x/x). The front x represents the number of parts list entries of the exploded production parts list below this entry. The back x represents the number of parts list entries of the master parts list of this entry.
In this way, rough changes to the exploded production parts lists compared to the master parts lists can be detected.

Special work plan

On each item of the exploded production bill of material, a special routing / one-off routing can be stored which is used for the following production order. In the same way, the total time of all work sequences from this special routing later on in the parts request is the lead time with which the first scheduling is started.
So if a production part, which has a master routing over 9 days, is supplemented with a special routing of only one day, only one day is scheduled for this item later in the parts request. This means that the throughput times can be changed in advance using special work plans.
Please note: If several BOM items are grouped together for the same part in the parts request, and a special routing has been stored for only one of them, this special routing is used for all BOM items (because of the only parts request item that is created from all identical parts!)

One-time work schedule

If a routing is to be defined at the time the production bill of materials is created, a one-off routing can be created at each exploded production bill of materials item. This is a master routing that is only valid for this order and cannot be found later via the normal master search.

In order to get an overview of all routings / one-off routings for a production bill of materials, it is possible to display the routings in the tree. A toolbar button with the routing symbol above the tree is provided for this purpose.

If a one-off routing is to be extended or even created, it is sufficient to drag the workstation from the resource list to the higher-level bill of materials item with the mouse. If a master special task list was already connected to this bill of material, this connection is released and a one-time task list is created after a query. In this case the one-time task list does not open at all but only its first position with the work centre dragged into the tree. Here it only needs to be filled in and saved and then it also appears in the tree of the production parts list. By double-clicking, one-time task list items can be opened and edited directly. In order to avoid accidentally changing a global master routing, this function is only allowed for one-time routing items.

Structural assembly

A component consists of several sub-assemblies to be assembled. In the exploded parts list you can see the subassemblies to be installed under the main part.
However, the production department itself would like to save the sub-steps for the assembly and scheduling of subassemblies and assemble them directly only when the main part is assembled. For these cases, the subassemblies are marked in the parts list as constructive assemblies, i.e. the design department sees these parts as subassemblies, but in the production department the subassemblies of the constructive assemblies are all assembled together without the constructive assemblies. The production department sees this parts list as shown in figure 3

The subparts of a constructive assembly located in the exploded production bill of materials are moved up one level in the production order as if the constructive assembly were not even present in the exploded bill of materials and all subparts of the constructive assembly are moved directly to the position where the constructive assembly itself is located.

Figure 1:

Figure 2:

Figure 3:

The parts Test4 and Test5 therefore move below the top level, the constructive assembly is not considered further. In this example, all parts are required on manufacturing level 1.

Disposable assembly

In the case of the disposable assemblies, one must distinguish between 2 different scenarios:

1. Loose part: A part which is actually a fixed part of an assembly, but which is to be installed at another production stage.
2. Purely MRP assembly: Subset of parts which belong to an assembly but are to be planned collectively. A new part is added to the production bill of materials, which is not visible in the normal production bill of materials.

If a bill of material is linked in a production role and an entry exists in the MRP product structure, the specified part is "pushed" on the entry of the MRP product structure below the production part when the production bill of material is exploded. All parts which are specified in the bill of material item list on the purely MRP assembly are therefore moved from the higher-level bill of material below the new entry.

To create a purely MRP assembly, the system starts from the production role to be inserted in between, creates a purely MRP entry there and selects the bill of material with its items from the higher-level bill of material. This purely dispositive entry is then visible both in the initial production roll and in the production roll of the intermediate part.

Attention!
A purely disposable assembly is not visible in the normal production parts list display:

In the dispositive manufacturing structure, the purely dispositive assembly "Test3" appears in the end. For this part a part request item is also created. The parts cx0005 and cx0006 are then arranged below it.

An MRP assembly defined by the master is a production part that does not have its own bill of material and contains entries from other, higher-level bills of material in another production part in the "MRP product structure" list. (See here for technical pattern) A condition can only be entered for entries in the MRP product structure if the assembly is a purely MRP assembly.
Further information on assembly parts lists and on purely disposable assemblies

Change of already processed parts lists

An important point here is that the directly superior production order items must be reprinted after a bill of material item has been added or deleted. For this purpose there is a date on the production order item after the change and on the header, which is supposed to say that the already printed production papers have to be collected and reprinted/distributed. This date can be seen in the production order processing mask and in the worklist in the 2nd column. It disappears again after "real" printing of the production documents.

Adding parts list items

If a parts request for a parts list has already been created and further processed, the corresponding parts list entries can no longer be changed.
However, new items can be inserted under production order BOM items if the part request is not released. If the part request has already been released, the release must be cancelled.
To insert an item in the parts list, mark the parts list item under which a new item is to be inserted. In the context menu, which can be opened by right-clicking on the selected position, the entry "Insert" has to be selected. A security question will appear which must be answered with YES. Now the parts list item can be created and edited in the usual way.

All parts that are included in the production bill of materials must be exploded if there is a production bill of materials for the part, even if this item is actually only to be ordered. How the part is to be planned is set later in the part request.

If the parts list item is now complete and is to be processed further, the entry "Edit->Straggler->Extend parts request" must be selected in the main menu.
A new parts requisition item is created for each newly created parts list item (without merging with existing parts list items!!), which is planned immediately, i.e. the new parts requisition item is given its standard planning type (warehouse reservation/purchase requisition/production order) and the procurement time is determined and saved based on this. Now the item only needs to be scheduled and further processed using graphical scheduling from the parts requisition:

• If the new position is a warehouse reservation , the warehouse reservation must first be cancelled via the menu item "Edit->Delete->Reset warehouse reservation (all warehouse parts). Afterwards all parts including the new parts request item can be booked in again via the menu item "Edit->Continue processing->Make stock reservation".
• If the new item is a purchase requisition, a new requisition simply has to be created via the menu item "Edit->Continue processing->Stragglers -> Create another purchase requisition", which automatically posts the parts requisition item.
• If the new position is a production order, a new production order must also be created via the menu "Edit->Continue processing->Straggling->Create further production order". The part request item is now booked in.

After the appropriate steps have been taken, the part request must now be released at the end via the menu "Edit->Further processing->Release part request".

Deletion of parts list items

If a parts list item is to be deleted, this can also be done from the parts list. However, the following conditions apply:

• Part requirement release must not be set
• Parts request item the parts list item to be deleted must not have the status production order
• Production orders can no longer be changed
• All requisitions already created for the item to be deleted must be cancelled
• The stock reservation in the parts request must be cancelled if a stocked part is to be removed
• If an assigned advance requirement exists for this item, the advance requirement must be removed and, if necessary, the main MRP type must be changed.

After checking the conditions, the parts list items are deleted, as are the attached parts request items, provided they are not still needed by other parts list items.
exception:
If a cancelled successor document is already attached to the part request of the BOM item to be deleted, then both the BOM item and the part request item (if no longer required) are cancelled and displayed with a red X in the BOM.

Known change scenarios

• Order item is to be exchanged completely
• Parts list item without bottom parts is to be exchanged
• Parts list item with subparts is to be exchanged
• Bill of material item is to be deleted
• Order item to be rescheduled (not yet implemented)
• The full quantity of the parts list does not need to be planned
• Part requirement item does not need to be planned in full quantity, but has already booked successors.

Here are instructions on what exactly to do if a change is to be made:

Creation of an advance requirement for a part from a parts list

Via the menu "Edit>Preliminary requirements>Create preliminary requirements for part from selected item" a preliminary requirements item for the part can be created for the selected item. All required characteristics from the parts list or the order item are transferred to the advance requirement. Furthermore, the required quantity and the order as predecessor for the advance requirement header are copied. Even if a production part of a bill of material is taken over into a preliminary requirement, which still has subparts that in turn require further characteristics, these are directly taken over into the preliminary requirement item as they were set in the order or the bill of material.

If the part for preliminary planning is a production part, the production bill of materials for this item is also copied. This ensures that in the case of processed production parts lists, these changes are also transferred to the advance requirement.

Detaching of parts list nodes from the parts list into a preliminary requirement

If the customer requests changes to an order item that has already been processed, it may be necessary to change the main part on the order item. As this would change the exploded bill of material, and production orders have already been created, for example, this change can no longer be carried out.
There are now 2 options available:

1. Cancel complete order item and store started part request items via the window "changed part requests" etc. Then create a new order item and start all production orders from scratch.
2. Move parts of the bill of material that are also needed in the new bill of material to a preliminary requirement, then cancel the old order item, create a new order item and the preliminary requirements of the old bill of material are automatically linked when the gozintograph is created. In this way, production order sub-items can be further processed.

If you open the exploded parts list of the order item, a new menu item "Edit->Preliminary requirements" is available. It contains 2 entries: "Move selected node to advance requirement" and "Move all subitems of selected node to advance requirement".

Attention!
Constructive assemblies are dissolved! This means that when a constructive assembly is selected and the menu item "Move selected node to preliminary requirement" is chosen, not the constructive assembly itself but only its sub-items, which are not constructive assemblies themselves, are moved to a preliminary requirement.

Only one preliminary requirements header is created for a bill of material, which then contains all the sub-items created. It is possible to extend an advance requirement that already exists for this order. To do this, the existing advance requirement must be opened before the BOM items are released. The system then checks whether the order header in the opened preliminary requirement is identical to that from the BOM item to be released. If not, a new preliminary requirement is created.

: : Edit	The selected parts list entry can be edited.
: : Insert	A new parts list entry is added to the selected parts list item.
: : Remove	-
: : : Complete	The selected BOM item is removed (deleted) together with all subordinate BOM items. If MRP has already been run for the bill of material item, it is not deleted but cancelled. A reversal document is generated. Any goods that have already been removed must then be put back into storage using the"Completion of change management" list.
: : : Substructures only	All subordinate parts list items are removed from the selected parts list item onwards. The selected bill of material item itself is retained. If dispositions have already run for the bill of material items, they are not deleted but cancelled. Any goods that have already been removed must then be put back into storage using the"Completion of change management" list.
: : Edit referenced master BOM item	The corresponding item of the master parts list is opened for editing.
: : Display as list	The parts list tree is displayed as a list.
: : : Create preliminary requirement for part from selected position
: : Completely dismantle part	This is a shortcut to completely disassemble a part (see also conversion parts list / disassemble parts). This function is only available for internal orders. This can be applied to the level 0 parts. Here the level 0 part itself is added to the parts list again. The part itself must be defined as a stock-keeping production part (also manual stock, etc.), as this must be marked as a material withdrawal in the disposition for dismantling. In addition, all sub-parts of the parts list are inserted into the production parts list and marked as "to be dismantled". If a stage 1 part is selected because the part to be removed from stock has already been inserted, only the last step is executed.
: : Create customer complaint from selected item
: : Dissolve	The selected parts list item is exploded. If a special BOM is specified on the BOM item, it is exploded, otherwise the standard BOM of the part is exploded. During the dissolution process, the system checks whether it is a part provided by the customer. If yes, the system checks whether the "produce part yourself" check mark is set on the exploded parts list item or not. If it is set, then the production bill of material hanging on the production roll or the specified special bill of material is exploded for the part. If it is not, then the provided parts list of the supplier will be deleted.
: : Expand from bill of material master	Variant part without, or with empty master parts list: Expand without master references (e.g. for unspecified variant parts) If a variant part without - or with an empty - master bill of material is entered on a bill of material item, this can be exploded using a template bill of material. All items of the sample bill of material to be selected are then appended to this item. The references to master BOM or master BOM item objects are separated after the explosion. This has the advantage that no master information from which this parts list was exploded remains stored. The parts list is still being adapted individually and will probably have very little or nothing to do with the sample parts list at a later date - a reference, for example as a "special parts list" would therefore be misleading.
: : Test: Attribute value	Any characteristic values can be tested for the selected BOM item. This allows you to check whether a characteristic has any value at all in this item or what value this value has. (Important for exploding from this BOM item onwards).
: : Test: values <-> inherited values
: Check parts list	Calls the function to check the parts list.
: Testing Gozintograph
: Conversion	-
: : Stragglers	-
: : : Extend part request
: : Advance requirements	-
: : : Move selected node in advance	The marked bill of material node is removed from the initial bill of material and attached to a newly created advance requirement item for the same order. In this way components already produced from cancelled order parts lists can be reused for other order items of the same order. See also "release in advance
: : : All subnodes of selected node	Not the selected item, but all its sub-items are moved to a preliminary requirement and thus removed from the initial bill of materials.
: : Compare parts list with other parts list	See parts list comparison
: Preliminary planning
: : : Create preliminary requirement for part from selected position	An advance requirement is created for the selected part without moving the BOM item. If this is a production part, the production parts list of this item is also copied. This ensures that in the case of processed production parts lists, these changes are also transferred to the advance requirements.
: : Compare parts list with other parts list	Opens the parts list comparison window, in which exploded parts lists can be compared with each other
: Import ELCAD parts list	The parts list items exported from an ELCAD to Excel are imported (inserted) to the parts list item previously selected in the tree. The Excel file is interrogated interactively; likewise, it must be confirmed for security that you want to insert the ELCAD items exactly at the selected parts list item.
: Comparison Import ELCAD Parts List	Via this function it is possible to compare an already imported ELCAD parts list with a new version of this list before the actual import. For this purpose, the superordinate node under which the ELCAD parts list has already been imported is marked and this menu item is selected. A file dialogue appears in which the new ELCAD Excel file must be selected. After the selection, the ELCAD parts list is only read in the working memory and the parts list comparison mask opens in which the old version of the ELCAD parts list structure is displayed on the left side of the window and the newly read-in version on the right side. In the result list below both parts lists you can see the differences. The result can also be displayed clearly as a tree structure by clicking the button "Analysis as tree". During this comparison, only the new and omitted parts list items are automatically displayed in the result list. See also parts list comparison
: Display options
: : Display number of entries	The last column in the tree is now a value (x/x) which shows the current number of positions below the selected node. This value consists of 2 numbers: First those of the exploded production bill of material, then those of the master bill of material. If the quantity in front of the "/" differs strongly from the quantity behind it, (31/2), then the work plan of this position should be checked. This will then certainly no longer match the exploded production bill of materials. The routing can only be changed once it has been exploded from the production order.
: : Display work plans	The work sequences of the work plans of the positions are also displayed in the tree. Sequences of standard routings are marked with the symbol (grey). If a special routing is assigned from the master data, the symbol (green), if it is a once special work plan, the symbol (red) output If special or one-off routings exist, they are displayed instead of the standard routings. See the section on one-off routings for more information on the possibilities using Drag&Drop

In the tree view, the parts list items can be moved freely in the parts list structure as long as they have not yet been further processed.

Exceptions are order and stock parts: Sub-items of them cannot be shifted, as they are only in stock or can be ordered with their original parts list.

If a part has already been moved once, the original parent position is saved to it. This means that it can also be extracted from parts lists of ordered and stock parts, for example if they have been moved here by mistake.

If a part cannot be moved successfully, the reason is displayed on the status bar of the window.

Care window

In this window the entries of a production bill of materials are maintained. In particular, it is possible to exchange the part and/or its bill of material, to make entries for the MRP structure and to make quantity adjustments.
On the uppermost bill of material node, a check is carried out to ensure that the bill of material quantity matches the quantity of the predecessor order.

Attribute maintenance
In addition to the 'normal' options for inserting, creating or removing attributes, further functions are available in the maintenance window of the parts list items.

Note:
In a production bill of materials, the attributes do not refer to the same attributes at a higher level, as is the case in the order. Therefore, it should be avoided to insert attributes that are already defined in the production BOM or the preceding document.

Serial numbers
Here the serial numbers are displayed, which were used in the parts list items. Especially the serial numbers which were assigned by the supplier have to be entered here, as these parts do not appear in any production order. The following menu items are used to edit the serial numbers via the parts list:

Fields

Field	Description
Number
Part	Selected part
Index	Version of the parts list. This index is written from the master BOM to the exploded BOM item when exploding production BOMs. Thus, it is later still traceable with which index (revision) the bill of material was exploded. An index can also be specified on the master bill of material items. If this is not filled in, the system checks when exploding the production BOM whether the part in the BOM item has its own BOM with index. This index is then transferred to the exploded item.
Disassemble part	This position is removed from an existing component and stored! See conversion parts lists
Standard parts list	Standard parts list of the part
Special parts list	Selection and display of the special parts list assigned to the parts list item. Usually, the standard bill of materials of the part is exploded and also used unchanged. However, if there are special constellations, for example, if a customer always wants a certain part to have such special features that cannot be represented by variant parts lists (as these are "too exotic"), the special parts list can be assigned to the part. A rule of thumb for the use of special parts lists is: The standard parts list is used in 80% of cases, special parts lists in 20%. If the special bill of material is used in more than 20% of cases, it makes sense to integrate the special features into the standard bill of material as a variant. Each exploded parts list can be changed later. However, the exploded parts list then deviates from the master parts list for which the corresponding routing was created. This makes the routing inaccurate, therefore serious changes in the exploded BOM must always be made in consultation with the work preparation department, so that the routing can be adjusted if necessary.
Standard work plan	Standard work plan of the part
Special work plan	Selection and display of the special work plan assigned to the parts list item. If it is a special task list that is not available in the master task lists and should not be available as a master task list either, you can create your own local task list directly. The editing of your own, local work plan is done with the right mouse button. When assigning a special task list from the master data, the symbol (green), if it is a once special work plan, the symbol (red) output
Make part yourself	It is also possible to dissolve the parts list of the production roll for purchased parts with own provision and production rolls and to build the part yourself. For this purpose, the check mark "Make part yourself" must be placed on the exploded parts list item of the purchased part with self-supply. All sub-items that may already have been created by an automatic explosion of the bill of material provided by the supplier must first be deleted (open context menu on purchased part with own provision item, then>Remove>Substructures only). When the bill of material item is exploded again, the production bill of material is then exploded and in the Gozinto, the lower parts are not marked as parts to be provided and the purchased part with own provision is itself not planned as a purchase requisition but as a production part.
Spare parts list	If this check mark is set, then this parts list item is recognised as a spare part when a spare parts list is created, regardless of the master parts list item from which it was possibly generated, and is transferred there.
Supplying supplier	In the case of purchased parts with in-house provision, it is necessary to know from which supplier this item is ordered when exploding the parts list. This is because the supplier specified here is used to include the parts required for provision in the parts list. If this field is not filled for logistically defined purchased parts with in-house provision, the Gozintograph cannot be created and testing will result in an error message. Read more about provision suppliers on the logistics account, supplier agreement parts list and self-provision process description.
Available product structure	This field can be used to move the open position in the exploded production parts list below a higher production level. This may be the case if a part is supposed to be attached to a sub-assembly but, due to more practical circumstances, it could only be assembled after the entire part has been completed (because it may have a longer replenishment lead time and you still want/must start production earlier). Hence the name "dispositive" product structure. This means that one can start with the assembly of the sub-assembly without having to wait for the disposition of the long-running part. See also "MRP product structure" and"purely MRP assembly". Only a "loose" assembly can be defined in the production bill of materials, i.e. an assembly can be moved from a lower level to a higher or even lower level. Purely MRP assemblies can no longer be created in the exploded BOM, i.e. a component that is not visible in the normal exploded BOM view, but appears in production as a separate production order, can no longer be subsequently built into the exploded BOM after the explosion of a master BOM.
: Constructive assembly	If the assembly is marked as "constructive", it will not appear in the sub-requirement itself and all its sub-items will be placed one level higher. In the production bill of materials, you can still see the order through this assembly, but it does not exist later in production.

The next step is to enter the serial number in the corresponding field. After triggering, the serial number is created directly, displayed as an object in the corresponding field and the input field is reset. So now the next number can be entered directly if the item consists of more than one piece.
Note

Selection window

In this window you can search for already exploded production parts lists.

List window

With this window exploded production parts lists are displayed in a list form instead of a tree structure. If one selects an entry in the list with a double click, one goes directly back to the selected bill of material item in the tree structure. Right-clicking opens the maintenance window of the selected BOM item.

Result check of parts list

This window displays the result if the function "Check bill of material" was called up from the editing window of the production bill of material. However, the check is also carried out directly after the production parts list has been created (exploded).

The list shows the parts list items for which the check has revealed an error or warning message.

The following cases will be examined:

1. There is a bill of material item without allocation to a part.
2. There is a bill of material item with assignment to an invalid part without exchange object.
3. The part status has the indicator "Adding to parts list prohibited" (see Attributes with control function)
4. The part status has the indicator "Warning when adding to parts list" (see Attributes with control function)

Parts list comparison

With this application it is possible to compare an exploded bill of material with another exploded bill of material. The similarities and differences are displayed in the result list.

Example

The customer orders a clockwise rotating system. The order item is released, the production bill of materials is exploded and production is started. After some of the components of the system have already been completed, the customer answers, apologises and now wishes the system to rotate counterclockwise. In this concrete example, the procedure would now be that a new order item is created via the anticlockwise rotating system and its production bill of materials is exploded. The two production parts lists are then compared via the parts list comparison in order to identify the identical and the different components.

Call up the parts list comparison

There are two ways to call up the parts list comparison. On the one hand you can call up the menu item "Edit -> Conversion -> Compare parts list with other parts list" in an existing production parts list. In the example above you would do this from the parts list of the clockwise rotating plant. The parts list is then taken over as the initial parts list. If you call it up manually, an empty mask opens and the initial parts list must be selected manually via the selection mask of the order items.

The next step is to select the target parts list. This is also done via the selection mask of the order items or by drag&drop of the order item.

Finally the toolbar button "Start comparison" must be pressed to start the comparison.

Evaluation of the parts list comparison

The results of the comparison now appear in the results list in the lower part of the window. The first column in this list is the type of result:

Navigation

If a result list entry is double-clicked, the associated parts list items in both trees, if available, are marked.
So if you double-click on an entry that starts with "Found", the first occurrence of this part is displayed in both parts lists.

Via the two parts list trees, the context menu can also be used to navigate to the other parts list and to the results window. See "Menu" description below.
