Setup
BOM Parameters
The following table lists the fields in the BOM Parameters form that are relevant to configurations.
Inactive Status
The Deactivate Configuration Items program sets item status of configuration items to this value.
The list of value consists of all the item segments.
The item field is a flexfield that may contain multiple segments.
Let’s say you have a two segment item field. The two segments are Item-Group. Item, Group will show up in the LOV. The segment you choose here will be the field that the ‘Numbering Method’ applies.
NOTE: The numbering segment parameter must be set in the OE validation organization. The setting in all other organizations will be ignored
Numbering Method
Possible values: Append with sequence / Replace with sequence / Replace with order, line number, shipment # / User defined
Using the above example, let’s say you choose the Item segment in the Numbering Segment. For an ATO model CN97444-Laptop, the configured item number will be the following for each Numbering Method:
CN97444*1236-Laptop / 1236-Laptop /45623*1*1-Laptop (45623 is the sales order number, 1 is the line number, 1 is the shipment number.)
User defined: The user defined method can be used to generate customized numbering for configuration items. Customized method can be implemented in the packages BOMCFGI.pls and CTOCUCNB.pls. For details on how to use these packages see Custom CTO Packages.
NOTE: The numbering method parameter must be set in the OE validation organization. The setting in all other organizations will be ignored
Possible values: No / Auto-created Configuration items only / ATO items and Auto-created Configuration Items.
If set to No, the system will create supply only for the top level ATO item or configuration. This is the default value for this
parameter.
Note that it will NOT create supply for any lower level configuration that was matched to a preconfigured item.
If set to ATO items and Auto-created Configuration Items, it will create lower level supply for all ATO items, preconfigured items and autocreated configured items. Note that supply will be created even for ATO items setup as standard Mandatory
components on the model Bill. This option should be used only if you do not expect to have on hand for your ATO items and preconfigured items.
Config BOM Creation Allowed
Possible values: Yes / No
The default is set to Yes.
Set this to Yes in all organizations in which you plan to manufacture or purchase your configurations. It can be set to No in other organizations where a model BOM exists, but a config BOM is not necessary. For example, an OM validation organization that is not a manufacturing organization can be set to No.
Include Model/ Option Class Items in Lead Time Rollup
Possible values: Yes/No
The default is set to No.
This parameter determines if a lead time rollup is performed on the model and option class items in the organization. This defaults to no, as rolling up a lead time on the model or option class results in a highly inflated model lead time, which affects the "Estimated manufacturing start date" calculation in AutoCreate Configuration, and affects the offset used by planning with Planning to Forecast and used by ATP against the model.
WIP Parameters
You can choose one of the following values: Never/Always/When linked 1 to 1
This parameter determines whether or not a work order that is reserved to a sales order will be put on hold after a configured item is de-linked from a sales order line or the order is put on hold.
Never: The work order(s) will not be put on hold if you de-link the configured item from the sales order or the sales order is put on hold.
Always: The work order(s) will be put on hold if you de-link the configured item from the sales order or the sales order is put on hold.
When linked 1 to 1: The work order will be put on hold if it is the only work order reserved to the sales order.
Note: Work Orders will be linked to sales orders if the shipping organization is the same as the manufacturing organization. In addition, in a multi-level environment, only the top level configuration work order would be linked to the sales order.
Default Discrete Class
You must have a default discrete class defined in your manufacturing organizations or Autocreate FAS and create flow schedules will fail.
Inventorym Item Attribute
Create Configuration Item, BOM Attribute
The Create Configuration Item, BOM attribute on the ATO model defines how items, BOMs and routings are created according to the following values:
- Based on Sourcing : This value creates Items, BOMs and Routings based solely on the ship from organization's sourcing.
- Items Based on Model, BOMs and Routings Based on Sourcing : This value creates Items in all organizations where the Model item exists, and create BOMs and Routings based on the ship from organization's sourcing only.
- Based on Model : This value creates Items, BOMs and Routings in all organizations where the model item, BOM and Routing exist.
- Multiple sources
- Global ATP
- Match with PDS ATP when sourcing models
- Add warehouse changes after config item creation
Add all the ATO/PTO Models, Option classes and options to the prce list.
Item Validation Organization
In Order Management, the Item Validation Organization parameter indicates the Oracle Manufacturing organization against which items are validated. You must define all transactable items (models, option classes, and options) in this organization.
Caution: If you maintain your bills of material in any organization other than the Item Validation Organization, you need to ensure the consistency between the bills. A common practice is to set up the bill in the item primary manufacturing organization, then common it in all other organizations that need to use it.
If an operating unit has multiple OE responsibilities, then those OE responsibilities must have the same OE validation rganization in order for AutoCreate Configuration to work properly.
