Main Screen Field Definitions

Component Section - NOTE:  Items will appear on screen only if the "Used in Kit" on the BOM is "Y".  For further detail see Article #34.

	This is the “Ignore Shortage” box: If you want to remove the component from the shortage reports and MRP, check the box at the left of the part number.  Note:  the box for checking KITTED shortages only works with those items that are kitted based on the BOM for the assembly. Checking the boxes means that the part on the BOM will NOT be considered for MRP purposes, and not show up on shortage lists. This is the only way you can get a part on the BOM off of the shortage list. Line shortages, however, can be edited to make them larger or completed.  The user will not be able to create a line shortage, then try to check the “ignore shortage” box, this box is disabled for added line shortages.
	This symbol before a part number is to inform the user that this part is originating from a Phantom BOM.

Status of Kit:  Released is a term that means the work order has moved from the initial input condition, where it is possible to check on details of the work order and to utilize a check list to indicate certain functions (established in the setup) have been completed (e.g., necessary documents have been received, shortages have been resolved, tooling is available, etc.). An unreleased work order cannot be kitted, nor moved on the shop floor.

KIT (a logic field) means that the work order has been released for production to work on it. This includes kitting and SFT. It means that in the WO screen, the user has clicked on the “Work Order Released” checkbox. Or, this box is automatically checked when all of the items on a work order check list have been completed. It does not mean that the work order or the kit have been started. Until this box is checked, no kitting nor SFT activities can begin.
