  1. XA Enterprise Product Data Management Alternate Item Processes Brenda Butler, Senior Consultant brenda.butler@cistech.net

  2. Agenda for Today • What is an item process in EPDM? • How can using alternate processes benefit my company? • Creating alternate processes • Using alternate processes • Order-Based Production Management in Browser (R6) or Power-Link (R7) • Inventory Management or Production Costing & Control (green screen) • Alternate process costing

  3. What is an Item Process? • An EPDM item process record includes: • Item revision information • Bill of material, if one. (Purchased parts have an item process, too.) • Routing, if one • Item Process types for manufactured parts: • Primary – created automatically when item revision is added to database. • Alternate – created later for specific reason. • Process is chosen when creating manufacturing orders.

  4. What is an Item Process?

  5. Benefits of Alternate Processes • Routing “Version” indicates: • Different internal routing (manufacturing process), perhaps with different costing of work centers. • Different routing for outside services performed when capacity is an issue. • Provides actual work center demand instead of standard primary routing. • Generic routings for items manufactured with same process.

  6. Benefits of Alternate Processes • Bill of material “Alternate ID”: • To use alternate/substitute component(s) on a regular basis. • Sometimes necessitated by alternate routing process.

  7. ROUTINGS

  8. Routing Version • EPDM routing record is made up of 3 files: • Routing header • Operations detail • Operations description • Key fields are: • Site • Routing ID • Version number • Routing takes on the effective date of item process with which it is associated.

  9. Routing Version • Routing version uses for: • Different internal manufacturing process, perhaps with different work center costs and/or machine or labor time. • Different versions used by R&D for new product (or use simulation site—cost rolls only available in same site for primary process). • Different version for outside services performed occasionally when capacity is an issue. • Provides actual work center demand instead of standard primary process. • May require different bill of material.

  10. Create Alternate Processes - Routing • From Item Revision Copy from routing header, not operations.

  11. Create Alternate Processes – Routing Version • From Item Revision

  12. Generic Routings – Multiple Items/Same Process • Routing ID can be same for all similarly manufactured items

  13. Generic Routings – Multiple Items/Same Process • Maintain Item Process records with correct routing ID when using generic routings after creating item revision.

  14. Alternate Bills of Material

  15. Alternate Bills of Material – 1 Copy Method

  17. Using Alternate Processes

  18. Select Alternate Process • In OBPM (Order-Based Production Management)

  19. Select Alternate Process • In OBPM (Order-Based Production Management) Select Import Routing icon on the right.

  20. Select Alternate Process • In OBPM (Order-Based Production Management) Use lookup to select correct item process. Double click selection on Item Process screen.

  21. Select Alternate Process • In OBPM (Order-Based Production Management) Imported routing operations FYI: Remember you can “inactivate” an operation and add a new one into an MO at any time prior to activity being started.

  22.

  24. Alternate Process Costing • Cost rolls in EPDM can only be done for the primary item process record. If needed, create alternate records in a simulation site. • Cost differences for alternate processes are reflected in manufacturing order variances.
