Bills of Material Profile Options

During implementation, you set a value for each user profile option to specify how Bills of Material controls access to and processes data.

The system administrator sets up and maintains profile values.

Profile Option Settings

You can set or view profile options in Oracle Bills of Material. The following table includes some profile options from other applications that are used by Oracle Bills of Material. The second column, User, references the user, while the next four columns, User, Resp, App, and Site, reference the System Administrator. The last two columns, Required and Default Value, reference requirements.

Profile Option Descriptions

BOM: Automatic Reservations

Indicates whether the system will attempt to automatically reserve existing on hand inventory after matching a configuration. During Autocreate Configuration, if a match has been found and this profile is set to Yes, CTO will attempt to reserve on hand inventory for any order line having a schedule date within the OM: Reservation Time Fence. If progressing the order via the workflow, a message will display with details of the match and reservation performed. If you are using the batch program, the log file provides details of the match and reservations performed.

BOM: Check for Duplicate Configuration

Indicates whether to search for an existing duplicate configuration rather than create a new item.

BOM: Component Item Sequence Increment

Indicates the value by which to increment the sequence of the component item on the bill.

BOM: Configuration Item Delimiter

Indicates a character used to separate the order and line numbers when you replace the base model's segment value with the order number/line number.

BOM: Configuration Item Type

Indicates the item type of the new configuration items that the create configuration program creates.

BOM: Days past for starting cutoff of Order Entry bills

Indicates the starting revision date used in the Order Management explosion.

BOM: Default Bill of Material Levels

Indicates the number of explosion levels to use as a default for bill of material indented explosions.

BOM: Default WIP Supply Values for Components

Indicates whether to default WIP Supply Type, WIP Supply Subinventory, and WIP Supply Locator from item master for a component item when defining a bill. If set to No, WIP reads the item master.

BOM: Hour UOM

Indicates the unit of measure that represents an hour. You cannot schedule resources whose unit of measure is not in the same class as the hour unit of measure.

BOM: Inherit Option Class Operation Sequence Number

Indicates whether to allow components on model bills to inherit operation information from parent items.

BOM: Model Item Access

Indicates whether a holder of this responsibility can define and update bills of material for model and option class items.

BOM: Perform Lead Time Calculations

Indicates whether to perform lead time calculations when you autocreate configuration items.

The profile option will be at the system level. The first value of the profile option would include the calculation: Lead time (days) = Lead time (Hours) /24 always and the second value would calculate lead time as: Lead time (days) = Lead time (Hours) /Line hours (Stop Time- Start Time of the Production Line).

BOM: Planning Item Access

Indicates whether a holder of this responsibility can define and update bills of material for planning items.

BOM: Resource Usage Rounding Value

Resource Usage Rounding Value is a profile that is created to set the rounding off value for resource usage and inverse. You can update the profile option at the system administrator level only.

BOM: Save Configurator Details Flag

BOM: Standard Item Access

Indicates whether a holder of this responsibility can define and update bills of material for standard items.

BOM: Update Resource UOM

Indicates whether you can update the resource unit of measure.

BOM: Week or Period Start Day

Indicates whether the workday calendar starts on a weekly or period basis. This profile option works in conjunction with the Workday Calendar. See: Overview of Workday Calendar.

For example, the BOM: Week or Period Start Day profile is set to Monday. Your Workday Calendar is set to start on January 1, which is a Friday, with a five days on/two days off work day pattern. After building the calendar, the system creates a start day of the following Monday, January 4.
