Benefits Statement With the increasing pressure to manufacture at site of least cost, customers require the ability to maintain alternative Bills of Material and Routes specific to the methods, components and machines used. This functionality is also used extensively within food processing businesses to accommodate the variations between batches of raw materials. This functionality provides the capability to maintain an unlimited number of alternative and supersession Bills of Material and Routes, cross referenced to the stock item and a preferred Bill of Material and Route. The existing 'where used' functionality is also extended to allow identification of the use of a component in any alternative or supersession assemblies. Legal, Fiscal and any Standards Considerations Not Applicable Overview The enhancements introduced by this project increase the flexibility of the Works Order process by allowing an alternative or supersession bill of materials (assembly) or route to be loaded. These alternative and supersession assemblies can be used in place of the master assemblies on the Bills of Material reports and included when revaluing your products. The existing 'where used' functionality is also extended to allow identification of the use of a component in any alternative or supersession assemblies. Two new options have been introduced to store cross-reference master files: Alternative Routes (wr_alt_xref) and Alternative Assemblies (bm_alt_xref). Alternative Routes The option Alternative Routes (wr_alt_xref) allows you to define alternative and supersession routes for a master route record or stock code. The records are stored in the Route to Alternative Cross Reference file (table name: route_alt_xref (wsaltrx.m)). Alternative and supersession routes allow a product to be 'made' or processed in different ways. You can define alternative routes for variations in machine availability, for example, or supersession routes that are to be used where you know a particular operation is due to be changed or outsourced. For ease of entry, you can load details from an existing master route or alternative route and variant into the alternative or supersession route then alter selected operations or add new operations as required. Alternative Assemblies The option Alternative Assemblies (bm_alt_xref) allows you to define alternative and supersession assemblies for a master assembly record or stock code. The records are stored in the Bill of Material to Alternative Cross Reference file (table name: bom_alt_xref (bmaltx.m)). Sage (UK) Limited, 2008. All rights reserved. Page 2

Alternative and supersession bills of material allow an assembly to be 'made' in different ways. You can define alternative assemblies for variations in quality where a customer might require a cheaper product for sales of 'own brand' products, for example, or supersession assemblies that are to be used where you know a particular component is reaching the end of its shelf life. For ease of entry, you can vary the master bill by loading the assembly details into the alternative or supersession assembly then altering selected components or adding new components as required. You can also link the alternative or supersession assembly to an existing master route or an alternative route. Routes and Assemblies Existing 'master' routes and assemblies can now have: an unlimited number of alternative routes/assemblies respectively. Each alternative can be uniquely identified by the use of a Variant. For example, the master route/assembly MEAT MIX could have 3 alternative records on file, all with the same alternative name BEEF-MIX, but with 3 Variants: 01, 02 and 03. a series of non-overlapping supersession routes/assemblies respectively. Each supersession has a start date and an end date, and can be defined as active or inactive. The number of alternative and supersessions on file for a master route/assembly can be displayed in the header information of the master route/assembly, if required. In addition, a master route can display the number of alternative or supersession assemblies on file that use it as their default route. You can also choose to make the current supersession the master route/assembly, however if you choose to do this the supersession should be a permanent change or the 'old' master route/assembly obsolete as the supersession will not then be available for optional selection when adding it to a works order. Routes and assemblies can be copied between the Routes/ Assemblies master file and the Route/Bill of Material to Alternative Cross Reference file in both directions. When you delete a master assembly you can selectively delete all supersession and alternative assemblies for the master assembly at the same time. Applying Supersessions and Alternatives to Works Orders When raising works orders a new system key BMSUPERDAT determines whether to load supersessions. Other new system keys, BMSUPERLD for assembly supersessions and WSSUPERLD for route supersessions, control the loading of the supersession. The works order details are stored in the Works Order Cost file if your system is set up to use Manufacturing Variances (DA0501). See Examples. The following options and reports have been modified to allow the supersession assembly and/or route and, where appropriate, alternative assemblies and/or routes to be considered: Module Option Notes Works Order Processing Load Assemblies This option also updates the Works Order Cost file. See Examples. Work in Progress Load Routes onto Works Order This option also updates the Works Order Cost file. See Examples. Sage (UK) Limited, 2008. All rights reserved. Page 3

The Bills of Material reports have been modified to allow the supersession assembly and/or route and, where appropriate, alternative assemblies and/or routes to be costed. Enquiries The Where Used and Indented Explosion enquiries can include alternative and supersession assemblies if the system key BMSUPERLD is set to PROMPT or ALWAYS. Sage (UK) Limited, 2008.

Costed Bills Of Material Report With your system set up to use BOM /Route Supersessions & Alts. 3 additional fields are available for the Costed Bills Of Material (bm_costed_bom) report. If: the new Cost BOM alternatives checkbox is ticked, costs for all alternative assemblies for a master assembly are calculated. The route included in the calculations for each alternative assembly is the route defined as the default route on the Bill of Material to Alternative Cross Reference file for the alternative assembly. This might be the standard route or a supersession route. The route details are printed on the report in full. Alternatives to subassemblies are not included in the rolled up costs however they are exploded and printed on the report. the new Cost BOM supersessions checkbox is: ticked, the current supersession assembly for a master assembly is included in the calculations. The route included in the calculations for a supersession assembly is the route defined as the default route on the Bill of Material to Alternative Cross Reference file for the supersession assembly. This might be the standard route or a supersession route. If a default route has not been defined the supersession route is used if it exists. The route details are printed on the report in full. Supersessions to subassemblies are not included in the rolled up costs however they are exploded and printed on the report. left blank, only the active subassembly is exploded and a single line printed for all other supersession assemblies. Only the costs of the active assembly is rolled up to higher level assemblies. The inclusion of an assembly supersession in the costs is determined by the date defined in the new field Date of run.

System Keys Description Value Used By BMSUPERDAT Use the start or completion date of the Works Order to determine whether an assembly or route supersession exists? START uses the Works Order Start date as the date to determine whether an active assembly or route supersession exists. END uses the Works Order Completion date as the date to determine whether an active assembly or route supersession exists. Note that this system key is only applicable if the system keys BMSUPERLD (for assembly supersessions) and WSSUPERLD (for route supersessions) are set to PROMPT or ALWAYS. START END Works Orders Load Assemblies Generate MRP Recommendations Adjust Recommendations Predict Future Stock Balance Raise Approved Orders Raise Orders from Forecast Raise Works Orders from MPS Raise Works Orders from Sales BMSUPERLD Load assembly supersessions onto Works Orders? PROMPT displays a warning that a supersession exists for the entered master assembly. For an individual Works Order, the prompt allows the supersession assembly to be accepted and loaded onto the Works Order or rejected. For a batch of Works Orders, the prompt provides the choice for the whole batch. ALWAYS automatically loads all active assembly supersessions onto Works Orders, whether an individual Works Order or a batch of Works Orders. NEVER prevents assembly supersessions from ever being automatically loaded onto Works Orders. They can however be loaded via the option Load Assemblies.
