Re: Product structure routings

Be careful about using a "back door" approach such as DBU or SQL. Standard
XA maintenance routines do things you do not know about behind the scenes
and you can't replicate through the back door. May not bite you
immediately, but may later on.

Thanks to everyone again.



I have meet with my users and we have decided on the following;

1. I have to DBU the inventory file and change the INVENTORY CODE to 1. All
orders are closed so it shouldn't have an affect on the components.

2. One user will complete the BOM.

3. Another user will set the FLR STOCK in AMVT02 to a C or U?

4. There was question on whether OPERATION WHERE 1ST USED had to be filled
in?

5. And we shall proceed to test in production! I love my new job.

Guy, I am fairly new at Mapics, but I know how to do this. The 'list' is
fairly advanced and will probably not have a good response to these

beginner

questions. But
I can help you with this if you would like. It is simple as long as you
have correct BOM's and correct Warehouses setup for the parts. I will
explain the way we do it, and then you can call me if you would like.

In my case:
Warehouse 1 = main warehouse
Warehouse E = Sub-assembly

The basic way to deplete parts is through a Manufacturing order.

Assembly 123 has components A, B, C, and D.

First the assembly and components all must have Item Balance records for

the

warehouse (warehouse E) that the Manufacturing Order is created for. Also,
on screen AMI7A5 in the Item Master File Maint., there is a field named
"Controlled Floor Stock". This field must have a "C" for the component
items, in the warehouse where the assembling is being performed (warehouse
E). Parts A,B,C,D are all stored in Warehouse 1 so they will have a
warehouse Item Balance as well. Create the manu. Work Order. Once the
parts are assembled, we perform an (RM) Manufacruing Receipt which closes
the Work Order and purrges all parts parts if they are set-up correctly.

I know this is vague, but I will help as much as I can. You may call if

you

would like.

Thank you to everyone who has replied so far.

OK, management has decided that backflushing is the way to go. I have

until

the end of the day to get four items with four componets setup for
backflushing. Anyone got a 30 minute turtotral on how to set up
backflushing?

I found a series of manuals starting with MAPICSXA.pdf but nothing on
backflushing.
