Contents of the Compute Costed Bills of Material Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Compute Costed Bills of Materials screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Selection Ranges

Configuration Identifiers

Use this group box to specify which configuration to include on this report.

Field Description
As Of Date

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the component effective date for the assembly. If you enter an As of Date, this report will include only those components with a starting effective date that is earlier than, or the same as, the as-of date and an ending effective date (if not blank) later than the As of Date.

Configuration

Use this field to enter, or use to select, the BOM configuration ID for the selected assembly ID.

This field is enabled if you select the Use Configuration IDs check box in the Configure Bills of Material Settings screen and you select One from the Assembly Part/Rev Option drop-down list.

If you enter a configuration ID, the data on the report depends on whether that configuration ID appears on a given assembly line. If a line exists with the entered configuration ID, that line will print. If no line exists with the entered configuration ID, but there is a line without a configuration ID, the line without a configuration ID will print. If a line cannot be found that contains either the entered configuration ID or an empty configuration ID field, no line will print.
