Step Action
8. Use the Parameters page to define modes of operation and default values for an
organization that affect functions such as bill definition, bill deletion, and
assemble-to-order configuration numbering.

Define bill of material parameters for each organization in which you use bills or
routings. Bill parameters are specific to, and must be defined for, each
organization. This ensures access to resource, outside processing, and overhead
cost information for certain cost management functions.

Step Action
12. Click the Numbering Method list.

Step Action
13. You can select:

Append with sequence: This appends a sequence number to the item segment you
entered for the numbering segment.

Replace with Sequence: This enables you to replace the item segment you
entered in the numbering segment with a sequence number.

Replace with order line number: This replaces the item segment you entered for
numbering segment with the sales order and line number.

User Defined: Allows you to define a numbering scheme that meets your
business needs.

16. • No (default value): The system creates supply only for the top level assemble to
order (ATO) item or configuration.

• Auto Created Configuration Items Only: Creates supply for any lower level
configuration generated because of the specific sales order configuration.

• Auto Created Configuration Items and ATO Items: Creates lower level supply
for all ATO items, preconfigured items, and autocreated configured items.

Step Action
18. Include Model/Option Class Items in Lead Time Rollup enables you to
include models and option classes when rolling up cumulative lead times.

Click the Include Model/Option Class Items in Lead Time Rollup option.

Step Action
19. Set Use Phantom Routings parameter to specify whether phantom routing
resources and overhead costs (including those for outside processing resources
assigned to phantom routing operations) are charged to the parent or higher level
assembly. Setting this parameter also implies department inheritance for
resources; thus, phantom resources can be used by departments that they are not
owned by or assigned to as a borrowed resource.

Click the Use Phantom Routings option.

Step Action
20. Set the Inherit Phantom Op Seq parameter to specify whether phantom
subassembly components inherit the operation sequence number of their parent
or higher level assembly, or maintain their own operation sequence number. This
parameter is set at the inventory organization level, and applies to all phantoms
within a single inventory organization.

Click the Inherit Phantom Op Seq option.
