BOMP Setup, like Company Setup, is not an
application that you will need to run frequently. Through this application you
will answer some questions that will have a bearing on the way other
applications in the package will run.
BOMP Setup is a very simple application, which
allows you to add or change some key information in the BOMP Control File.
However, the answers you give will affect the way in which other applications
will run, so be sure to answer the questions in accordance with your real
needs.
For example, companies can elect to keep an audit
trail of the Product Structure File that monitors the file for additions and
deletions of records as well as for changes to fields within the records.
Other companies may choose not to keep this audit trail.
This audit trail is kept automatically by the
Product Structure File Maintenance application only if selected here in Setup.
Several other yes/no option flags are set in BOMP
Setup. These are the options to use job numbers to track production; the
ability to change order prices during order processing; the option to display
item costs on screens and reports; and the option to use serial/lot batch numbers
with appropriate items.
This Setup application also provides for the
optional entry of a user‑defined field which becomes the name of the last
field entered into the product structure record during Product Structure File
Maintenance.
Other options available through BOMP Setup include
establishing the production order and engineering change numbers. These will
be automatically incremented when production orders and engineering changes are
entered in the appropriate applications. BOMP Setup also assigns default work
in process (WIP) account numbers for tracking materials during the production
process.
Select BOMP Setup from the
pull down BOMP Util_setup window and the following will be displayed:
BOMP Setup Entry Screen
The following options are
available:
* Select the
desired mode from the BOMP Setup menu bar
* Enter the
data requested on the screen
Note: If this is the
first time that you have run BOMP Setup, then the program will ask you to enter
the data for each of the fields on the screen. If this program has been run
previously, the data entered at that time will be displayed and may be changed
accordingly.
To return to the menu bar,
press the ESC or F10 key. To leave this application, press X for EXIT when
positioned at the menu bar.

1. Keep Audit Trail On
Product Structure File?
|
Y or N.
Your answer here determines
whether or not changes to the Product Structure File will be recorded for
later audit. Default is N.
|
|
2. Description
For User Defined Field In Product Structure File
|
15 alphanumeric characters.
Entry of this field is
optional. This entry determines the name of an informational field in the
product structure record. Since that field is informational and is not used
by the package for processing, there are no additional restrictions to what
may be entered here.
|

3. Next Legacy Work
Order No
|
6 numeric digits.
Enter the next Legacy Work
Order number to be used during entry of production orders.
|
|
4. Next Engineering
Change No
|
6 numeric digits.
Enter the next Engineering
Change number to be used during entry of engineering changes.
|
|
5. Next Material Work
Order No
|
6 numeric digits.
Enter the next Material Work
Order number to be used during entry of production orders.
|
|
6. Next Plus Work Order
No
|
6 numeric digits.
Enter the next Plus Work
Order number to be used during entry of production orders.
|
|
7. Use Job Numbers?
|
Y or N.
Enter Y to use Job Numbers
to track production related to a specific job. If N is entered, the user
will still be allowed to enter information in Job Number fields in BOMP
applications, but this information will not be posted to the Job History
File. Default is N.
|
|
8. Allow Change To
Order Prices?
|
Y or N.
Enter Y to allow the user to
change unit prices in the Feature/Option Configuration and Production Order
Entry applications. Default is N.
|
|
9. Display And Print
Item Costs?
|
Y or N.
Enter Y to display and print
item costs in the applicable BOMP application. Enter N to prevent item costs
from being displayed. Default is N.
|
|
10. Use Serial/Lot Batch
Numbers?
|
Y or N.
Enter Y to allow the use of
serial/lot batch numbers in tracking serial/lot items. This provides greater
flexibility in tracking and the ability to increment serial/lot numbers when
producing large quantities. Default is N.
|
|
11. Production WIP
Account Number
|
An account number in the
standard account number format.
Enter the account to be used
for tracking work in process (WIP). This account will keep track of the
value of materials allocated during production until a finished item is
reported. Entry is required.
|
|
12. Production WIP
Variance Account
|
An account number in the
standard account number format.
Enter the account to be used for the variance in the
value of components between when they are allocated and when a finished item
is reported.
This account will only be
used if an order is flagged as complete before all ordered items are
produced. This would require that the value of unused components be
transferred back from the WIP account to the various inventory asset
accounts. If there was a change in the value of any of the component items
during the production process, this account will show the variance.
|
|
13. Exclude Obsolete,
Forecast, Both
|
O, F or B.
Enter whether obsolete or
forecast items or both should be excluded from Bill Of Material Processing.
