• Determine whether this component is backflushed in repetitive
manufacturing operations. If you enter the operation number
here, this component is automatically issued when you report
quantities for the parent. If Op is blank or does not match a
defined operation, this component is not backflushed.
• Enable component yield cost calculations. Product Structure Cost
Roll-Up (13.12.13) and Routing Cost Roll-Up (14.13.13) use this
field when calculating material costs. If the operation yield is less
than 100% in Routing Maintenance (14.13.1), then material costs
are increased to reflect yield loss. If blank, MFG/PRO assumes
components are issued at the first operation.
• Determine whether this component prints on Repetitive Picklist
Print (18.22.3.5). If you enter an operation code, the component
can be picked.
Related Topics
This section discusses a number of topics related to product structures and
how they are used in the system.
Floor Stock
Continuing the example of the sunglasses, most items such as frame
pieces and lenses are issued from an inventory location based on a formal
document such as a work order picklist. However, some inexpensive,
easily replenished components, such as the screws, may be held on the
factory floor and used as needed. Such items are called floor stock.
Use Issues–Unplanned (3.7) to record floor stock issued from stores to a
work-in-process expense account. To prevent these items from being
picked, they should have an issue policy of No in the item master and
item-site planning data.
Do not confuse floor stock with expensed items. Expensed items do not
appear in the item master or product structure and are expensed
immediately when they are received from the supplier. Enter expensed
items on a purchase order as non-inventory (memo) purchases with type
code M.
