Component = ------------ * Component
quantity Base qty quantity

If you do not enter a required quantity, the required quantity is set to the base quantity.

Examples

Car BOM: Required qty Required qty
100 1,000

Supplementary Documentation - EMENG 0001

Procedure

When you explode a multiple BOM, you enter either the required quantity or the alternative.
If you enter a required quantity, the system selects the appropriate alternative according the the lot-size ranges.

Examples

The saddle support of a bicycle consists of the components seat pillar and tube.

If the base quantity is 1 piece, the component quantities are as follows:

Seat pillar:    1.000 piece
Tube :    0.250 M

If the required quantity is 200 pieces, the component quantities are as follows:

Seat pillar:    200.000 pieces
Tube :    50.000 M

Supplementary Documentation - EMENG 0002

Dependencies

For determining material usage, the required quantity is regarded as the component quantity.

When you enter a required quantity, the system calculates the resulting quantity as follows:

Required qty
Resulting qty = ---------------- * Base quantity
Stored component
quantity

Example:

BOM MAT3 Base quantity: 1
0010 MAT1 Component qty: 1
0020 MAT2 Component qty: 2

Material usage Required qty: 10
0010 MAT2 --> Resulting qty: 5
