You use this program to view details of where a specific stock item is currently being used. This includes jobs, job allocations, purchase orders, requisitions, sales orders and any parent part against which the stock code is in turn used.
The program can also be accessed by selecting the Where-used function from the Affected Items tab of the Change Orders program, in which case the program enables you to identify all products affected by the raising of an engineering change order (at least one product must be specified before an ECO can be moved from the system status of New to In Progress). All routes identified as being under engineering change control are included.
You can view a list of existing jobs, purchase orders and sales orders relating to the products. These can be placed on hold manually, if you do not want to make use of the status events to achieve this.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Options | |
| Non-current structures |
If you have enabled the Structure on/off dates required setup option (Bill of Materials Setup) then this displays information for non-current structures. Structure on and off dates for components are defined against the bill of material using the Structures and Routings program. |
| Change w/h for quantities |
Enables you to indicate the warehouse to use for displaying quantities in the On hand and Available columns of the Where-used Details pane. Changing the warehouse does not affect the components, jobs, purchase orders or sales orders displayed under the parent item in the tree view. In addition, if you enabled the Alternate routings required setup option (Bill of Materials Setup) then selecting the routing node displays the On hand and Available quantity for the selected warehouse. You can select to use the parent item's warehouse to display the On hand and Available quantities, or you can indicate a specific warehouse for which you want to display the On hand and Available quantities. |
This displays the information in the form of a tree view and enables you to select the item for which you want to display information.
Within each route node, the applicable parent parts are displayed, enabling you to drill down to jobs, job allocations, purchase orders, requisitions, sales orders and any parent part against which the stock code is in turn used.
If you enabled the Alternate routings required setup option (Bill of Materials Setup) then all routes in which the stock code appears as a component are included as nodes on the tree view.
This displays the detailed information for the item you selected in the Where-used Structure tree view.
Although the default wording displayed for the revision and release information is Rev and Rel, it is replaced by whatever wording you have assigned to these user-defined fields (Bill of Materials Setup).
