Before you begin
If clocking on is required for the operation,
clock on the serials/lots for which you want to specify BOM consumption.
Procedure
- Access the operation for which you want to specify the consumption of BOM items.
The page for the operation appears, displaying the Documents section. On the BOM tab, a number appears, which indicates the total number of mandatory BOM items to be consumed for all the serials/lots that you have clocked on for the operation.
- Select BOM.
A list of serials/lots appears.
- Select the serial/lot for which you want to specify the consumption of BOM items.
A list of BOM items for the selected serial/lot appears in the workspace.
- Select the BOM item whose consumption you want to specify.
A window appears, providing information on the required quantity of the BOM item, whether consuming the BOM item is mandatory to complete the operation, and the quantity that has been already consumed for the serial/lot.
- In the SERIAL/LOT# box, enter the serial/lot of the BOM item that you want to consume in the operation. Alternatively, to search for a serial/lot by using a barcode, select
, and then scan for the barcode of the serial/lot associated with the BOM item. Use your device's front camera only for Barcode/QR code scanning. The application supports one-dimensional (Aztec, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, UPC-A, UPC-E, UPC/EAN Extension) and two-dimensional (Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF, QR Code, RSS 14, RSS Expanded) types of standard codes.
In iPad, you can use only in the Safari browser.
Note: The
SERIAL/LOT# box and the
button are available only when the operation associated with the BOM item is clocked on. Else, you can access only the consumed history for that BOM item. The search result of the
SERIAL/LOT# box is not case-sensitive.
The Available:
<quantity_of_parts> message displays the quantity of BOM items available in the lot for consumption. If the required quantity of the BOM items specified in the
REQUIRED QTY box is less than or equal to the quantity available in the lot, the Available:
<quantity_of_parts> message appears in grey, else the message appears in red. In the
REQUIRED QTY box, if you enter a serial/lot number of a lot that is unavailable in the
Plant Applications database or enter a value more than the available quantity in the lot, a message appears, as described in the following table.
| Informational Message Name | Message Condition | Corrective Actions |
|---|
| Available: <quantity_of_parts> | The available quantity in the lot is less than the required quantity specified in the REQUIRED QTY box. | Perform one of the following tasks:- Consume the available quantity of the BOM item from the existing lot, and then consume the remaining quantity from another lot.
- Search for another lot that contains the total required quantity of the BOM item, and then consume the BOM item.
|
| Serial/Lot Not Found | The lot number is invalid. | Ensure that the lot is available in the database. You can create a lot on a machine, and then consume the BOM items from the lot. |
| This serial/lot is currently not available. Production status = consumed, Current quantity = <value>. | The lot is not available in the database for consumption. | Search for another lot that contains the BOM items, and then consume the BOM item. |
| Lot identifier is found but not available for consumption | The selected lot does not contain the BOM items to consume. | Search for another lot that contains BOM items, and then consume the BOM item. |
| Serial/lot does not match the material being consumed | The BOM item material differs from the material in the lot being consumed. | Ensure that the material in the BOM item and lot are identical. |
| Duplicate record found. Unable to consume. | More than one record or duplicate records are available for the same lot in the production unit. You cannot consume a BOM item from a lot with duplicate records in an operation. | Ensure that there are no duplicate records in the selected lot. |
| Unit of measure of the serial/lot does not match the unit of measure for the required quantity. | The unit of measure (UOM) of the BOM item and the lot are different. | Ensure that the UOM of the BOM item and the lot are the same. |
- In the QTY TO CONSUME box, enter the quantity of consumption of the BOM item.
- If each BOM item has a separate ID, enter the ID of each BOM item in the SERIAL/LOT# box, and then enter 1 in the QTY TO CONSUME box. For example, suppose you have been assigned the bicycle assembling operation. For the wheels BOM item, if each wheel has a separate ID, you must enter the IDs of the two wheels used in the bicycle. In this case, in the QTY TO CONSUME box, enter the value 1 for each wheel.
- If the BOM items have a combined lot number, enter the lot number, and then enter the number of BOM items consumed in the QTY TO CONSUME box. For example, suppose you have been assigned the bicycle assembling operation. For the wheels BOM item, if both the wheels belong to a lot, enter the lot ID of the wheels, and then enter 2 in the QTY TO CONSUME box.
Note: If the lot number that you have entered does not exist in Plant Applications, a window appears, asking you whether you want to create the lot number. If that happens, enter the quantity to create and consume, and then select Yes.
- Select Consume.
An entry for the consumption of the material is added to the table in the Consumed History section. If you consume more than one lot for an operation, the number of entries in the Consumed History section depends on the number of lots that are consumed. After an entry is created in the Consumed History section, you cannot cancel the consumption of the BOM item. If there are any issues in the Consumed History section, contact your administrator.
- Repeat steps 3 through 7 for each serial/lot on which you have performed the operation.
- Optional: Select the <BOM item number> links in the page displaying BOM item details to navigate to the previous and next BOM items in a sequential order of the BOM items.
- Optional: In the JUMP TO PART NUMBER box, specify the BOM item number that you want to locate and then press Enter. You must enter the complete BOM item number in the search box. Alternatively, to search for a BOM item by using a barcode, select , and then scan for the barcode of the BOM item. Use your device's front camera only for Barcode/QR code scanning. The application supports one-dimensional (Aztec, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, PDF417, UPC-A, UPC-E, UPC/EAN Extension) and two-dimensional (Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF, QR Code, RSS 14, RSS Expanded) types of standard codes.

Results
The page containing the selected BOM item details appears. The BOM items are consumed in the selected operation, and the quantity of the BOM items consumed appears in the CONSUMED QTY box in the BOM section.What to do next
Provide data for quality variables for each serial/lot in the operation.
