Material Group

Beas offers a grouping possibility with the Material Group field. This group is useful for filtering, searching, production planning, programming (since it is integrated with MRP and APS on the sorting and filtering options), and for the calculation function (a surcharge rate can be linked to each Material Group). The material surcharge is stored for Precalculation.

Manufacturing data (Right side)

Field

Description

Procurement Method

Make – Scheduling creates production order recommendations for the item.

 

All higher-level items should be defined as manufacturers so that the requirement can be calculated for the subordinate items during scheduling. In the case of a bill of materials for sales or assembly, no actual production order is output for the higher-level items, only the requirements for the subordinate items.

 

Buy – Scheduling creates purchase order recommendations for the item.

 

The Buy method should be selected for the subordinate items of the lowest level of the bill of materials for items which are not part of the bill of materials.

 

Breakdown

How the Bill of materials/routing is broken down (exploded)

 

Administration

 

Production UoM

The unit of measure for consuming this item when it is a component of another items bill of materials during production.

See Edit item´s unit of measure

All other units are managed in the Purchase Data, Sales data and Inventory Data tab or centrally using the orange arrow in the "Units of Measure" window.

 

In master data the BOM quantities and the work order quantities are always indicated in production UoM

The unit can be used in which material was actually withdrawn: for example storing in liters, but withdrawal in kg.

 

In all functions, where required quantity and stock are indicated, the total stock is always displayed in inventory UoM, as otherwise no comparison of planned quantity, posted quantity and stock would be possible.

 

A special case is single material posting There, the withdrawal quantity can be given in production UoM it will be converted to warehouse units immediately.

 

The conversion from inventory UoM to production UoM is defined in Quantity units – Conversion

 

Note:

All other units are managed in Purchase/Sales/Inventory tabs or using the orange arrow in window "Quantity units"

Specific weight

This field can be used as a conversion field between consumption unit and warehouse unit:

1. Activate Specific Weight in Configuration wizard > Item

2. The specific weight field in the item master is now used as a conversion factor between the units of store and quantity.

3. Only "density" is specified in the conversion formula between units of store and usage

see Master data - Units of measure

If this field is disabled in Configuration wizard, density can be entered in raw material.

Lot size / Production

Define the max. Lot size for production in Inventory or Production UoM

See concept Lot size

 

Limitations

If the lot size produces more than 10 Positions, the system asks if you want to continue.

If the lot size produces more than 200 Positions, the system cancels the process with a message:

" Lot size is set to <losgr>. This corresponds to <summ> Positions created. Max. allowed are however <limit> positions. Creation is aborted (LimitLotSize)"

It is possible to increate the limitation. Please contact our support if needed.

 

Note on sub-structures:

Lot sizes of order related sub-structures are considered only if activated separately.
See Configuration wizard – Production – Create new.

If the count of the created positions is larger than the limitation, the system ignores the lot size in the last position and displays an error message (LimitLotSize)
Example: 1000 Pcs, Lotsize = 1. 200 Positions created. Position 1-199 for 1 Pcs and Position 200 with 801 Pcs

 

PreCalculation: Supports Production Lot size

MRP Calculation: Ignores Production Lot size while calculating requirement based on sales order, forecast and other documents.

Issue method

Defines the way the item is issued in production: backflushing (automatically) or manually.

Setting

Description

Manually

The components are manually output to the production order without considering the output of the product.

Backflushing

The components are automatically issued to the production order once completion of the higher-level item is reported. (e.g. reporting the last operation, goods receipt of the assembly or via Materials Management – Backflush).

 

Serial number- or batch number-managed items cannot be set to "Backflushing".

However, if this type of item should generally be removed with backflushing, it can be activated in the Configuration Wizard.

see Backflushing - Also post batches

Cut-Off (%)

Only available when Mode of Procurement is defined as “Buy”.

This field is used to define a percentage of the material that is wasted when it is used as raw material for production.

For example:

if Cut-Off (%) is set to “10” and the item is linked to a Bill of Material with the quantity of “50”,

Beas will change the quantity to “55” in the position when a Work Order is created (“50” from Bill of Materials plus “5” from 10% cut-off rate). Cut-Off (%) will also be considered while calculating cost in the pre-calculation functionality.

see Scrap, Calculated scrap, Option consider cut-off, Production item – cut-off

Scrap Rate %

This value is used for Precalculation. Only available when Mode of Procurement is defined as “Produce”.

Scrap factor for assemblies relates to the material requirement for an assembly rather than the assembly.

 

Assemblies:

Scrap factor for assemblies is not related to the assembly requirement, but only to the material requirements of this subassembly.

In Precalculation, there are only an information on quantity for BOM item and assembly. This creates an additional requirement for the assembly. If then a work order is created, the behavior may vary.

 

Phantom assembly

Scrap factor is calculated and entered as "calculated scrap" into the BOM item  and taken into account.

 

Order related Item

BOM Order related items do not apply the scrap factor, system will generate a work order position for the order related item and scrap factor will be applied to of the sub work order BOMs only.

 

Purchase part:

The scrap factor is calculated in the work order as total value, added to the cut-off value and other scrap factors and entered to the BOM column calculated scrap.

Precalculation: entered in Master Data > scrap and also taken into account.

 

Note

using order time receipt function and reporting scrap See Configuration wizard – Backflushing

Scrap Table

Cut-Off Table

Define item based scrap on table level.

The Scrap defined in Scrap/Cut-Off Table

 

The scrap factor affects:

purchase parts: "calculated scrap"

assemblies: material requirement of the subassembly
sub-assemblies: surcharge for scrap in sub-components

 

Note

using order time receipt function and reporting scrap See Configuration wizard – Backflushing
no consideration in Precalculation

Phantom Item

Phantom items only define the bill of materials and routing, have no inventory maintenance and can be neither purchased nor sold. An assembly can have any number of phantom items, finally used to combine the bill of materials and routing according to the assembly principle.

Note: A phantom item is an item type in bill of materials which only has a technical or structural function. Phantom items are not actual components or intermediate assemblies, so they are defined as non-warehouse items.

For example, a company produces different laptops as finished good, and all different laptop models use the same set of cables: monitor connector, power connector, HDMI cable. It will be easier to group the set of cables as a phantom item in Beas, so you will not have to assign the cables to each bill of material separately. To do so, we have to create the bill of materials with all required cables, and link the phantom item as a component of all laptop models. After creating a Work Order, Beas will only include the phantom item structure (Bill of Materials and Routing) and not the item as an assembly.
