To create a new component Item for the Breeder Bill of Materials, select the NEW button. The following screen will appear:
When creating a new component Item for a Breeder Bill of Materials, you are presented with the following options:
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.
Inventory Unit of Measure.
Per: Specify the quantity of the component Item required per Breeder Bill of Materials. This is a required field.
Specify when the component Item is effective.
Specify when the component Item expires, if ever.
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.
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.
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.
This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering Comments related to the component Item.
