Line Number

This field displays the line number in the grid and can only be viewed. The line number appears red for lines that are new or modified. After the Accept button is clicked, the line number changes from red to black.

If a yellow exclamation point appears next to the line number, a lot or serial number distribution is required for the item and must be done before the item can be processed.

Component Item Code

Enter the component item code identifying the line item. Click the Lookup button to list all inventory item codes.

Alternately, start typing an item description to locate an item. As you type, a list of records matching your entry appears. You can then select an item from the list, and the item code will appear in the field.

  • At the Item Quantity Inquiry button, click the drop-down arrow and select Item Status to view the status of the item in the Item Status window.

  • Right-click the item to view the selections available for the item.

  • Type a slash ( / ) and select F2 to open the Lookup window and view a list of all miscellaneous charge codes and comments.

A new item can be added on the fly if the appropriate security is set up. A window similar to the Item Maintenance window appears; however, some non-essential fields are omitted to speed data entry. You can access Item Maintenance at a later time to complete the remaining entries for the new inventory item. For more information, see Add a New Inventory Item from Bill of Materials.

Note The system does not check whether the Inactive Item check box in Item Maintenance is selected for items entered in this field. Inactive items will appear in the Item List window when you click the Lookup button. To help distinguish which items are inactive, you can create a custom lookup view and add the InactiveItem field. For more information, see Create a Lookup View.

 

Quantity/Bill

Type the quantity of the component item returned from this bill or the miscellaneous charge to reverse for this bill. The placement of the decimal is based on the entry format set in Common Information Options. This quantity is based on the standard unit of measure displayed in the Unit of Measure field. Only positive quantities can be entered for component items.

Note You can enter negative quantities for component line items if Produced Item or Purchased Item is selected in the Disassembly Type field with the appropriate security setup.

 

Extended Quantity

Type the component quantities to post to inventory as received, or the total quantity for the charge. The placement of the decimal is based on the entry format set in Common Information Options. The extended quantity is calculated by multiplying the quantity per bill for the item by the quantity to disassemble entered in the Quantity field. The yield percentage and the scrap percentage are not factored when calculating the extended quantity for produced-item and purchased-item disassembly types. The yield percentage and scrap percentage are factored for the production-reversal disassembly type.
