5.1.1.  Breeder Bill of Materials Item

To create a new component Item for the Breeder Bill of Materials, select the NEW button. The following screen will appear:

Add New Breeder Bill of Materials Component Item

When creating a new component Item for a Breeder Bill of Materials, you are presented with the following options:

Item Number

Enter the Item Number of the component Item you want to add to the Breeder Bill of Materials. The lookup feature located to the right of the field leads to a "Co-Products and By-Products" master list. The list includes all Items whose Item Type is defined as either Co-Product or By-Product.

UOM

Inventory Unit of Measure.

Qty. Per

Per: Specify the quantity of the component Item required per Breeder Bill of Materials. This is a required field.

Effective

Specify when the component Item is effective.

Expires

Specify when the component Item expires, if ever.

Cost Absorption

Specify the percentage amount of Cost absorption each Co-Product will assume. A Co-Product's Cost is tied directly to the absorption percentage defined here. Co-Product Costs should not be entered manually. Instead, they should be derived by the system when Cost updates are run. The following formula illustrates how the system determines Co-Product Costs. Based on this example, you can see how the absorption percentage is used.

Absorption % x Total Breeder Item Cost / Co-Product Qty. Per on Breeder BOM

Note

As a rule, the system does not generate Costs for By-Products. However, you may choose to assign User-Defined Costing Elements to By-Products. Any manual By-Product Costs will be factored into the costing for Co-Products.

Unique Manufacturing Path [Future Development]

When implemented, this option will alert Material Requirements Planning (MRP) that the parent Breeder Item should be called for when a need arises for the specified Co-Product. This option will only be available for Breeder Items which are Co-Products.

Comments

This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering Comments related to the component Item.
