Work with Manufacturing Batch Units of Measurement

  • Article

If an item is stocked in one unit of measurement but produced in another, a production order is created that uses a manufacturing batch unit of measurement to calculate the correct quantity of the components during the Refresh Production Order batch job. An example of a manufacturing batch unit of measurement calculation is when a manufactured item is stocked in pieces but produced in tons.

To create a production BOM using a batch unit of measurement

  1. The manufacturing batch unit of measurement is set up as an alternative unit of measurement on the Item Units of Measurement page on the item to be produced. The batch unit of measurement will not replace the base unit of measurement on the item.

  2. Create a production BOM for the item set up with the manufacturing batch unit of measurement. For more information, see Create Production BOMs.

  3. In the Unit of Measurement Code field, select the manufacturing batch unit of measurement.

  4. For each production BOM line, in the Quantity Per field, enter the quantity of this component item that is required to create this batch unit of measurement.

  5. Open the Item Card for the related item.

    On the Replenishment FastTab, in the Production BOM No. field, select the production BOM created above.

  6. Create a production order header using the item set up with the manufacturing batch unit of measurement. For more information, see Create Production Orders.

  7. Choose the Refresh action, and then choose the OK button.

On the Lines FastTab, choose the Line action, and then choose the Components action to view the result. The application calculates the correct quantity of the components needed to satisfy the production BOM based on the manufacturing batch unit of measurement.

To calculate a manufacturing batch unit of measurement on a production order

  1. Create a production order header using the item set up with the manufacturing batch unit of measurement.
  2. In the Item No. field in the Production Order line, type the same item number used in the header.
  3. In the Quantity field, enter the same quantity used in the header.
  4. In the Unit of Measurement Code field, select the manufacturing batch unit of measurement code.
  5. Choose the Refresh action.
  6. On the Calculate FastTab, clear the Lines check box.
  7. Choose the OK button.
  8. On the Lines FastTab, choose the Line action, and then choose the Components action to view the result. The correct quantity of the components needed to satisfy the production BOM is calculated based on the manufacturing batch unit of measurement.
