Creating BOM Site Associations

You can create a BOM site association for the sites that produce the same item using different products or components.

For example, consider two restaurants; restaurant A and restaurant B, serving an omelet. Restaurant A uses the default component for all restaurants, fresh eggs. Restaurant B uses liquid eggs as a component. To support this use case, we can model two recipes for an omelet; recipe one with fresh egg as a component and recipe two with liquid eggs as a component. Restaurant A does not need a BOMSiteAssociation recipe because it uses fresh eggs set as the default. Restaurant B needs a BOMSiteAssociation recipe to associate their recipe with liquid eggs.

Complete the following steps to create BOM site associations:

  1. Log in to the system using a Production Manager role type.

  2. From the Manufacturing Policies menu, select Search BOM Site Association.

  3. Click Create at the right bottom corner of the screen.

  4. Enter the text in the BOM field using the auto-complete feature.

  5. Enter the text in the Site field using the auto-complete feature.

  6. Select the Active check box to activate the BOM Site Association feature.

  7. Click Create.
    A success message appears.

  8. If you wish to update, click on Update.

BOM Site Association Policy

The Bill of Materials (BOM) site association policy automatically maps the site associated with the BOM at the time that the BOM is created. Users set the policy, EnforceBOMSiteAssociation, on the enterprise hierarchy under the Bill of Materials policy group. In addition, users add or remove site associations in the UI on the BOM-Site Mapping tab on the BOM details page.

Complete the following steps to create a BOM site association policy:

  1. Log in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menus/Favs > Administration > Search Policies.
    The Search Policies page displays.
