Creating a Product Family Item

Trigger:

Concept

A product family is a grouping of products whose similarity in resource usage, design, andmanufacturing process facilitates planning at an aggregate level. A product family cannot be a

part of a Standard, Model, Option Class, or Planning Bill of Material. Consequently, a productfamily is a single level bill. Members of a product family can belong to one and only one productfamily. You will be able to plan based on the planning percentages and effectivity of the productfamily members.

Prerequisite: You must make sure that the Product Family flex structure is configured to matchthe System Items structure. If the System Items structure is changed it should be reflected in theProduct Family structure as well. You are not required to use the product family template. If youchoose not to use a template, make sure that you define the correct product family attributes.Specifically, the item must be an inventory item and the BOM Item Type must be ProductFamily. The item must also be BOM allowed.

In this topic, you will create a product family item.
