Re: Bom problems

Wendy:

It sounds like what you are saying is that when you look at the MBM File,
you are seeing that the BOM Quantity Required = 1.000. This value is also
shown in BOM300 and BOM500. However, when you use this BOM, the Quantity
shows as 0.25.

If I understand the problem correctly, I suspect that someone has entered a
value of 4.00 for the Standard Batch Size. This value is IBTCH in the Item
Master (IIM) and also ICBTCH in the MRP Facility Planning Data (CIC) File.
The Standard Batch Size is the reference for how to interpret the BOM
Quantity Required when it is used. This problem often happens when someone
wants to enter a Lot Size for MRP Planning purposes, but places it in the
Standard Batch Size field rather than in the Lot Size field.

Hopefully, this is the problem which can easily be corrected. Otherwise, I
am not sure what would be causing this problem.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me offline.

Thanks.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Bom problems

BPCS v 8.2.01

Was notified of a Bom problem - End Item Part - has multilevel
components some subasy, phantom and stocking level. Indented Bom for
End item through BOM300, BOM500 and looking directly at the MBM file
show one thing (we do have multiple Method codes - blank for current
bom, FS for Frozen Standard (General Ledger/ Frozen Costs use), and some
backup ones -- but all are pretty much the same currently on components
and quantity.

However - CST280, CST300-02, SFC350 and shop orders generated from the
blank method code -- show a wrong Bom -- Where the "real" bom call for a
quantity of 1 per -- these are showing .025 per --- why is this doing
this? And were can it be finding this .025 per bom -- it's not in the
MBM file.... And is this just on this one part? If there are more, how
do I find them -- I checked a couple of others and they seem to be ok..

I have checked the Low level codes and that is ok. Any ideas?
