You use this program to view structure details for a specific parent part and routing.

Toolbar and menu

Field Value Description
Options    
  Change wh for qty Select this to indicate the warehouse from which the on hand and available quantities must be displayed.
Parent Stock Code   Enter the stock code for which you want to display the structure.

If the item is a co-product linked to a notional part, then you are prompted to display the components for the notional part (see Stock Code)

If the stock code is a co-product and you selected to display the components for the notional part, then the code of the co-product and not the notional part is displayed in this field.
Route   Indicate the specific routing for which you want to view structure information.

This only applies when Alternate routings required is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).
Include non-current   Select Yes to include structures that are not currently active (i.e. structures where the current system date is before the structure's on date, or after the structure's off date).

Select No to exclude non-current structures.
Play   Select this to view multimedia objects attached to the currently highlighted component.

Change Warehouse to Use for Quantities

This screen is displayed when you select the Change wh for qty option from the Options menu.

These options enable you to indicate whether you want to view on hand and available quantities for the warehouse to which the stock item is assigned, or to enter a specific warehouse.

Field Value Description
Close   Select this accept your selections and to return to the previous screen.
Warehouse for Quantity    
Warehouse selection    
  Stock code warehouse Select this to display on hand and available quantities from the warehouse to which the stock item is assigned
  Specified warehouse Select this to specify the warehouse to use for on hand and available quantities.
  Warehouse Indicate the specific warehouse to use for the quantities. This applies if you enabled the option: Specified warehouse.

Stock Code

The following message is displayed when you enter a stock code which is defined as a co-product (Stock Code Maintenance) and is attached to the bill of materials via a notional part (BOM Co-products):

"The stock code entered is a co-product. Do you wish to view the components for the notional part?"

If you select OK, then the components linked to the notional part are displayed.

If you select Cancel, then you can enter a new stock code.

Parent Information

The following information is included in this pane:

Column Description
Stock code

The following options can be accessed from this field by typically using your left mouse button:
Economic batch quantity This indicates the economic batch quantity configured for the parent code (see Stock Code Maintenance).
Pan or container size This indicates the pan size configured for the parent code.
Revison/Release

This indicates the current revision and release of the parent code by default.

A revision and release is displayed here only if the parent code is ECC-controlled (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking).

You can select this field to load the ECC History listview and select a different revision/release for which you want to display the structure.
ECC status This indicates the current Engineering Change Control status of an ECC controlled parent item.

Maintaining ECC structure - indicates that an ECO is currently active for the parent part.

Existing ECC structure - indicates that the parent part is not currently in an active ECO.

Structure and Routing Parent Details

The following information is included in this pane:

  • Co-product cost apportionment
  • Co-product type

  • Parent uom

    This indicates the stocking unit of measure of the parent code.

Components

The following information is included in this listview:

Column Description
Quantity per This indicates the quantity per of the component in the structure.
Warehouse to use

If a warehouse to use is defined in the BOM (Structures and Routings), then that warehouse is displayed. If the warehouse to use is not defined against the BOM, then the warehouse to use in the Inventory Master table is used.

If you specified a specific warehouse using Options > Change wh for qty, then the warehouse you specified is displayed.
ECC consumption This indicates the ECC consumption method for an ECC controlled item.

Components Information

The following information is included in this listview:

Column Description
Stock code

The following options can be accessed from this field by typically using your left mouse button:
ECC consumption This indicates the ECC consumption method for the line highlighted in the Components pane.

Notes and warnings

Change of Rev/Rel

  • Enabling the option: Allow cosmetic changes (Bill of Materials Setup) determines whether you are prompted to change the revision/release of affected items.

    If you select to change the release, then the BOM is updated without changing the revision.

  • For automatic control, components added and deleted are considered significant changes, as are changes to the following fields:

    • Revision (Component)

    • Release (Component)

    • Unit of Measure

    • Quantity per

    • Fixed quantity flag

    • Parent per fixed quantity

    • Structure on date

    • Structure off date

    • Include from job number

    • Include to job number

    • Scrap percentage

    • Scrap quantity

    • Warehouse to use

    If a structure or routing is not found when checking for cosmetic changes, the item is assumed to be a component and its revision/release is changed.

    When saving cosmetic changes for an affected parent item, if a component against the BOM of the parent is also an affected item, then this component revision/release is not applied to the parent, as this constitutes a major change. This applies even if the component revision/release is changed at the time of applying BOM changes.

Application Help Pane

Application Help Panes provide step-by-step instructions for various functions within the program, including a brief overview of what the program does, what setup options are required and how to personalize the program. The intention is that the pane provides information that is uncluttered and easy to navigate.

You can embed an Application Help Pane:

  • in the main SYSPRO menu

  • in any program with panes, if not using roles

  • when adding a role layout in Design Mode.

Inserting Application Help

You would typically follow this procedure to display help for the current program in a customized pane that can be pinned to the program window.

Information includes step-by-step instructions for the various functions available within the program, including a brief overview of what the program does, what setup options are required and how to personalize the program.

  1. Open the program for which you want to insert application help into a customized pane.

    This functionality is only available for a program that has panes.

  2. Right-click any form field.

    You can also click the triangle menu icon that appears in the title area of a pane.

  3. Select Insert Application Help from the context-sensitive menu.

    The application help appears in a pane within your program. You can reposition the pane using the docking stickers or pin it to the program window.

Removing the Application Help pane

If you no longer want to display application help in a pane for your current program, you can simply remove it.

  1. Select the Close icon in the right-hand corner of the application help pane.

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the pane.
