Bills of Material

A bill of material defines all the components that are included in the manufacture of a style item. For style items, you define a bill of material for the style item root level 0. The bill of material for the style item root level 0 cascades down to the lowest-level child style items.

When defining the bill of material for the style item root level 0 for the first time, you must use either the Style Item Master program (PCW51) or the Collection Item Master program (PCW54). The Style Item Master and Collection Item Master programs provide access to the Bill of Material for Style Items program (PCW12B), which in turn calls the Bill of Material Revisions program (P3002) for bill of material entry and update. 

You can create bills of material for child style items on demand using the Bill of Material for Style Items program (PCW12B) or by batch using the Create BOM for Child Style Items program (RCW53). 

Routings 

Routing instructions are the sequence of operations carried out in the process of manufacturing a style item. You use the Work With Style Routing Master program (PCW35) and Enter/Change Routing (P3003) to define the routing for the style item root level 0. The style item root level 0 is always passed into the Work With Style Routing Master program, regardless of the level from which it is called in the Style Item Master program (PCW51) or the Style Items by Collection program (PCW54). 

The system copies routings for the lowest level child style items from the style item root level 0. In the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system, the routing typically remains the same for the style item root level 0, as well as the child style items. Routing instructions do not depend on attributes such as color or size.
