- Creation of characteristics and defining its values- Creation of classes using characteristics

- Creation of KMAT Material

- Assigning classes to KMAT Material

- Defining Super BOM for KMAT Material

- Defining dependencies for components of super BOM

- Creation of FERT

- Assigning classes to FERT

- Assigning KMAT to FERT and select configuration of FERT

- Creation of Sales order by selecting KMAT

- After selection of characteristicsjump to FERT

-Generate sales BOM (from super BOM) and forward to production order

MAIL will have 3 KMAT material types

(at this stage)

1. ECP3

2. ECO28

3. ECO32

In future, if additional series added new KMAT type

will be generated.

For ECP3 KMAT Type, created 1 class :

1. CM_MAIL

Defining KMATConfigurable MaterialMODEL ECP3 N

Steps :

- Define Super BOM (all the Components required to produce the ECP 3 NSeries)

- Assign classes

- Define Object Dependency (OD) to particular component (listed in Super BOM)



After creating class, created one KMAT material : MODEL ECP3 N

and assigned class defined earlier as below -

Defining dependency for particular material listed in Super BOM

This particular component will be picked up

From super BOM when this combination

Is selected by user

Creation of FERT CODE STEP 1



Creation of FERT CODESTEP 1

One FERT Code created 31900100 (of ECP 3 N series)

Assigned all the classes created to this FERT code using Classification view

Assigned KMAT material (MODEL ECP3 N) using MRP3 view

Creation of FERT CODE STEP 3



Selection of all characteristics and their values of the particular FERT.

(It will create link which will help jumping to FERT when we select characteristics while

Creating sales order)

Creation of sales order

Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3 Nseries alternator) STEP 1

Select KMAT (configurable material ) MODEL ECP 3 N in Sales order (for ECP 3 type

alternator), enter quantity

Characteristic & values

After selecting all the characteristic

and their values, Click on Variant

Matching as shown by arrow mark.

Considering the characteristic & valuesselected, system will automatically

jump to the FERT Code 319100100

(for which weve created all the

configuration in previous slides)

C ti f S l d (f ECP 3 i lt t ) STEP 4

Once system jumps to suitable FERT code (considering the characteristics, which

decides FERT code), other characteristics like Frequency , RPM , Power Rating(KVA),

flying wheel , Dew Heater & other parameters can be selected,

After selecting all the characteristic save that particular sales order. Now it all required

characteristics to produce one alternator as per customer requirement.

Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3 series alternator)STEP 4

SYSTEM WILL NOW GENERATE SALES BOM FOR THE

ALTERNATOR AS PER CHARACTERISTICS SELECTED

AND THE SAME WILL BE REFERRED TO GENERATE

PRODUCTION ORDER.

These are

These are the

Sales BOM generated for the alternator (as per customer order)

referring which production order will be released.

Key Points

1. There will only 3 KMAT material types for MAIL at this juncture as MAIL will be

producing these 3 series only2. If new series is added in future, new KMAT code to be added

3. Change in bill of material will have a new FERT code

4. Characteristics like Stack length, Poles number, Phase and mounting will be

deciding factor for new FERT code. If any of the value changes, there will be new

FERT code

5. Change in values of characteristics like voltage, frequency, RPM will not affect theFERT code.

6. FERT codes to be entered in system using the procedure described at once.

7. System will always automatically jump to the FERT code already defined in

system if characteristics matches

8. If required characteristic doesnt matches to the existing FERT code, it means

user needs to generate create new FERT code for that specific configuration.
