The material to be processed by the MTO job must be specified by selecting BOM setup points, which are nodes on the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure). These nodes are called BOM setup nodes because the MTO job identifies in a first step all the nodes of the BOM structure, which are placed below one of these BOM setup nodes. After that, all BOM positions associated to these identified BOM nodes are included in the MTO. To allow the user to assign more than one BOM setup node to an MTO type, the setup points are grouped in sets of BOM setup nodes. After defining these sets, the user can assign one set to each MTO type.

With the BOM sets, you define the scope of the BOM that are included in an MTO type and thus in the created requisitions. Ideally, it is wise to include all BOM nodes in one BOM set to ensure no material is excluded material from the requisitions. By selecting the top node of the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure), all sub-nodes of this node and thus all associated positions are also included.

BOM sets can also be defined on lower (sub-node) levels; however, this requires a careful definition of additional BOM sets to include the remaining BOM nodes, and thus to ensure all material is captured.

The BOM sets are defined on the R.10.31 BOM Setup Nodes screen. The BOM sets must be assigned to the MTO types on R.10.51; see MTO Types.

To create a new BOM set, enter the set name in the BOM Set field and the descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields. Save this new BOM set.

Next click in the List Node field in the second (BOM Setup Nodes) block and open the LOV. The B.20.01 Edit BOM (LOV for multi select) window opens as displayed in the picture below.

Expand the nodes in the List Node field on the left by clicking the corresponding + sign. To select one or multiple nodes, select the corresponding Sel check boxes on the right. After that, click the button to insert the selected nodes on B.10.31 and to close the LOV. You can use the button to select all displayed records or the button to clear the current selection.

Do not modify the BOM sets after requisitions have been generated. The calculation of quantity changes are based on consistent scopes. The quantities calculated based on the new/modified BOM sets are not comparable to the requisition quantities calculated based on the original BOM set.
