Order Policy. Enter POQ or FOQ. MRP does not use LFL or OTO for<br />

base processes.<br />

Pur/Mfg Code. Enter M (manufactured) or leave blank.<br />

BOM/Formula. Leave blank. A base process item cannot refer to<br />

another BOM/Formula.<br />

Phantom. Enter No.<br />

Setting Up Items for Co-products and By-products<br />

Create items for co-products and by-products using standard procedures.<br />

For co-products, it is important to set the BOM/Formula field equal to a<br />

base process item number.<br />

In Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1), Item Planning Maintenance (1.4.7),<br />

or Item-Site Planning Maintenance (1.4.17), enter the following for each<br />

co-product and by-product of a given base process.<br />

Item Number. Enter an item number for the co-product or by-product.<br />

Planning Parameters. Normally, you accept default values for these<br />

fields. MRP does not use planning parameters for co-products.<br />

Instead, it uses the parameters of the base process. MRP does not plan<br />

the base process to satisfy demand for a by-product. Rather, it plans<br />

by-products using the conventional method.<br />

Pur/Mfg. Leave blank or enter M (manufactured) for co-products.<br />

Enter any value for by-products.<br />

BOM/Formula. Enter the item number for the base process normally<br />

used to produce this co-product or by-product. This field is used for<br />

planning, work orders, and cost roll-up. An item can be a by-product<br />

and have a normal BOM/Formula code.<br />

Note For items that are always by-products, BOM/Formula codes are<br />

optional. Entering the base process item number as the BOM/Formula<br />

code for by-products and co-products enables you to sort MRP Summary<br />

and Detail Reports by BOM/Formula code.<br />

Routing Code. This should be left blank in most cases. If a co-product<br />

has a preferred routing different from the base process routing, enter<br />
