On the left side of the screen, the intermediate products that have been copied from the assigned material workflow are listed in the "Intermediates" window. The intermediate products are listed here in tabular form (due to the clarity).

The selected intermediate product is displayed in detail on the right half of the screen. The list "Input materials" describes which components/materials and which preceding intermediate products are incorporated into the selected intermediate product.

The list is sorted by the sequence column. The sequence was copied from the material workflow during the copying process.

Button "Recalculate Totals"

Use this button to update the field/column "target quantity" of all intermediate products. The intermediate target quantity is formed from the sum of its input material target quantities. Since intermediate products are again used as input material in other intermediate products, their input target quantity is automatically recalculated as well.

This button must be pressed every time

• If you want to change the quantity
• or input material has been added or removed
• and the BOM for later production is to be released!

If the intermediate product sums do not match, it can later lead to incorrect target quantities in the production order.

The list is sorted by the "sequence" column. The "sequence" is used in automated production when workflows are active. The "sequence" is a rule for "material receiving" nodes which material should be used or dosed in which order.

In the detail area on the right side you can change the following fields:

• Material - ComboBox to select the material. Only the materials that have been defined in the "Components" tab can be selected. The same material can be assigned as a use for several intermediate products. The target quantity in the component tab must then be split. Please make sure that the sum of these partial quantities is equal to the target quantity in the component tab.
• Target quantity (UOM) - Target quantity in the base unit of measure according to material master
• Target quamtity - Conversion field to specify or display the target quantity in an alternative unit of measure. If no alternative units of measure have been maintained in the material master, the base unit of measure (UOM) is used.

 

"New Input" button

A blank line is inserted. In the details pane, select the appropriate material and enter the target quantity.

 

"Delete Input" button

The currently selected row is deleted. Only input materials that have been defined in the component list can be deleted. Input material that is an intermediate product cannot be deleted because this is a preset from the material workflow.
