The subitem of the inventory item.

The material quantity needed to produce the item. The system calculates the final quantity based on the combination of this value and the value of the Batch Size column.

A negative quantity indicates that the row represents a by-product.

The unit of measure for the quantity specified in the Qty Required column.

The system copies the default value from the Stock Items (IN202500) form. You can specify a different unit of measure, if needed.

The unit cost for the material.

The system copies the default value from the Price/Cost tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) form depending on the valuation method of the item as follows:

• Average or FIFO: The system copies the value of the Average Cost box. If the average cost is zero, then the value of the Last Cost box is used.
• Standard: The system copies the value of the Standard Cost box.
• Specific: The system copies the value of the Last Cost box.

You can change the unit cost, if needed. If the unit cost was not changed manually, the system updates this value during the cost roll process on the Cost Roll (AM508000) form.

The type of the material.

You can select one of the following options:

• Regular (default): The material is either a finished item or a subassembly (if it has a bill of material assigned).
• Phantom: The material is a phantom subassembly.
• Subcontract: The material is supplied to a subcontractor if the operation is outsourced.

The way of adding operations of the material that is a phantom subassembly to production orders based on the BOM.

You can select one of the following options:

• Before (default): Operations of the phantom subassembly are included in a production order before the parent operation.
• After: Operations of the phantom subassembly are included in a production order after the parent operation
• Exclude: Operations of the phantom subassembly are not included in a production order, but the materials of the subassembly are included in the materials list for the parent operation.

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the material is backflushed. If the check box is cleared, you must issue materials for the operation on the Materials (AM300000) form before workers can record labor time or produced item quantities.

The system copies the default state of this check box from the Backflush Materials check box on the Work Centers (AM207000) form.

The warehouse location from which the material is issued. If the column is empty, the system selects a warehouse location, as described in Production Processing: Selection of Warehouse Locations.

If the Backflush check box is selected and the warehouse location is specified, the material is issued only from this location as follows:

• If the Allow Negative Quantity check box is selected for the item class assigned to the material, the system issues the material from this location regardless of the required quantity.
• If the Allow Negative Quantity check box is cleared, the system issues only the material quantity that is available in this location.
• If the Allow Negative Quantity check box is cleared and the available material quantity in the location is zero, the system does not issue the material and returns an error message on the form from which the material issue has been requested.

The bill of material that is used to produce the material that is a subassembly. You can specify the BOM in this column if a bill of material that differs from the default one should be used to produce the material for the BOM selected in the Summary area.

If the column is empty, the system uses the BOM specified in the Default BOM ID box either on the Stock Items (IN202500) or Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form.

The scrap or shrinkage factor for the material. The system uses this value to calculate the needed material quantity and the material cost for the item being produced in a production order and during material requirements planning.

You enter the scrap percentage as a decimal value, such as 0.1 for 10% of scrap per item unit.

You specify this value if the material scrap is common and the system must consider it during the calculation of the material quantity and cost.

The status of changes in the row. The value can be one of the following:

• Unchanged: The row settings have not been changed.
• Updated: The new revision of the bill of material will reflect this change. It does not however record what was changed; you can add a note to the row to describe the changes. Alternatively, you can delete the old row, insert a new row, and add a note on the new row.
• Deleted: The row has been deleted. Deleting a row does not remove the row but marks it as deleted. The system will not include this row in the new revision of the bill of material revision when the ECO is approved and applied.
• Inserted: The row has been inserted to the routing. The system will add the row to the new revision of the bill of material.

The status of changes in the row. The value can be one of the following:

• Unchanged: The row settings have not been changed.
• Updated: The new revision of the bill of material will reflect this change. It does not however record what was changed; you can add a note to the row to describe the changes. Alternatively, you can delete the old row, insert a new row, and add a note on the new row.
• Deleted: The row has been deleted. Deleting a row does not remove the row but marks it as deleted. The system will not include this row in the new revision of the bill of material revision when the ECO is approved and applied.
• Inserted: The row has been inserted to the routing. The system will add the row to the new revision of the bill of material.

The unit cost of the tool.

By default, the system copies this cost from the Tools (AM205500) form, but you can change the cost if needed.

The status of changes in the row. The value can be one of the following:

• Unchanged: The row settings have not been changed.
• Updated: The new revision of the bill of material will reflect this change. It does not however record what was changed; you can add a note to the row to describe the changes. Alternatively, you can delete the old row, insert a new row, and add a note on the new row.
• Deleted: The row has been deleted. Deleting a row does not remove the row but marks it as deleted. The system will not include this row in the new revision of the bill of material revision when the ECO is approved and applied.
• Inserted: The row has been inserted to the routing. The system will add the row to the new revision of the bill of material.
