Linking one BOM line to many Route Operations (AX 2009)

Posted on by Rolly Rulona

Hi,

I have an item in the BOM line that will be processed through several operations. I know that I can link this BOM line to an operation but I do not see any option about linking it to multiple operations. Anybody has a suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Rolly

The link is not the "processing" it is the consumption point, so you either link it to the route step where it cannot be removed, or if you put the same item in at several points you multi-list the same component and link the quantity at each step.

Hi Steven,

I am sorry but I am not sure that I totally understand your answer. Are you talking about not linking the bom line item at all to any operations and set the flushing principle to, for example, start instead?

Thank you in advance.

Okay reverse it, why would you want to link it to one or more routing steps?

It is because this bom line item has to go through several processes. It is a screw that has to go through a pointing machine, a threading machine, etc.

It can go through several or all the processes unlinked so why are you trying to tie it to a routing step?

You link it to a step for consumption and planning purposes, the screw material transforms into something else through the pointing machine, but I would not represent this WIP.

It am linking I thought that by linking the screw into each operation in the route, its consumption will be dependent on the start of each operation. I am planning to update the production order order into "released" and then use the "current operations details" form to start the production by each process.

But I think I misunderstood the concept.

So, I suppose I do not have to link the screw to any operation and set the flushing principle to "start". In this way, as soon as I start the first operation, the screw will be consumed and it can be seen in the "raw materials in process" until the last operation is ended.

You can push each screw to each routing step if you want, the way to do this would be to list the screws as separate lines on the BOM, so you consume 10 at OP20 and 50 at OP60. However it is a screw, will you pick these individually by step or is this more line feed stock? So you have understood the concept, whether they want the screw on each step is an overhead of setup and maintenance over return. You indeed do not have to link the screw, you could set the flushing principle to start, or indeed finish. It really depends what you want, but if you want true consumption of all parts by routing step and you have screws used at multiple steps you need to list the screws multiple times in the BOM to assign them to the correct step.

Yes, I have to pick the screw individually by step because they cannot go through the next process without conducting quality control (SPC).

It sounds excessive to list the screw several times in the BOM just to link it to each route operation. As mentioned before, there are pointing process, thread rolling process, and four processes more. Say, I want to make a production order of 1 screw (just for simplification), will it not consume the raw material six times (one for each process)?

Anyways, I have to test it and so far, the best idea is to not link it to any operation and just set the flushing principle. In this way, I suppose it will be listed as raw material in process until I "report as finished" the production order.

No. After the first process the material is not the same material, it had been transformed. You cannot undo the threading of the raw material. You have not consumed the raw material here, it is what the raw material was transformed into.

Not sure I understand your quality comment because you are not using 5 screws at pointing then adding another 5 at threading. They are not checking the raw material is consumed constantly because it is wip. You could raise a production order for every step of course but I would think carefully about that!
