Understanding Oracle Bill Of Materials

Understanding Oracle Bill Of Materials (BOM)
BOM Overview:
A bill of material is a list or Items associated with a parent Item, such as an
assembly, and information about how each item relates to the parent item.
A single level BOM consists of one parent Item and its immediate
component Items
Multilevel BOMs are displayed by linking together single level BOMs stored
in the system
A subassembly is both a parent and a component
All items in a BOM model, including the parent Item being configured, must
be defined in the Item Master and enabled in the Inventory Organization
where BOM Model is created
A BOM Model can be shared among other Inventory Organizations by
creating common bills
After a valid combination of options is selected from BOM Model, a
Standard BOM is created to guide manufacturing planning and execution
Repetitive combinations of option selections can be stored and retrieved
as pre-configured Items
BOM Types:

1. Standard Bill
2. Model Bill
3. Option Class
4. Planning Bill
BOM Models:

Create Model bills to represent products and service that allow user-selected
options:

- Option Classes are groups of optional items

- Optional Items
- Required Items
Model bills and Option Class bills of material can include:

- Stock Items
- Assemble-to-Order Models
- Mandatory and Optional Components

PTO and ATO BOM Models:

ATO BOM Models:

- Represent product models that require assembly downstream in Oracle Work

In Process
- Are assembled using manufacturing work orders that can be costed
PTO BOM Models:

- Represent product Models in which included items appear on pick slips and
selected when the order ships
- Are not costed

Configurable PTO and ATO BOM Models:

- The inventory Item that represents the top level in your BOM Model must have
the BOM Item Type attribute set to Model
- PTO and ATO BOM Models can contain Standard Items and Option Classes as
components
- ATO and PTO BOM Models can also contain other ATO BOM Models as
components
- An ATO BOM Model cannot contain a PTO BOM Model
- A PTO BOM Model can contain a PTO BOM Model
Implicit Rules:

Basic rules are included with Oracle Bills of Material:

- Optional or Required
- Mutually Exclusive
- Maximum and Minimum Quantity
- Quantity Cascade
These rules provided by Oracle Bills of Material are called Implicit Rules.

 Oracle Configurator honors these rules as well as the rules defined using
Oracle Configurator Developer

Option Classes:

Option Class is an element of a Configuration Model.The purpose of Option

Classes are to group and prevent viable alternatives. The end user typically
selects one or more options from each Option Class during runtime to create a
valid configuration.
Option Class Selection Rules:

BOM Model rules for selecting options from an Option Class during order
entry:
Required and Mutually exclusive:You must select one and only one Item in
this Option Class
Required:You must select one or more optional items in this Option Class
Optional and Mutually Exclusive:You can select only one optional item in
this Option Class
Optional:Select none, some, or all optional items in this Option Class
