Quantity Calculation Options - Intergraph Smart Materials - Version 2020 (10.0) - Help - Hexagon

Disposition Rule: The disposition procedure uses the calculated quantity for a line item (total list quantity) to calculate a better value for the really required material, based on rules assigned to the material. The logic by which the disposition is processed (called disposition type), can vary between two MTO-Jobs of the same MTO-Type and must be entered before the MTO-Job will be started.

1. It is not possible to do the material-disposition on engineering requisition which base on a Non-Ident-MTO.

2. It is important to understand the different quantity fields on a requisition line before selecting the correct disposition rule option. The fields are listed below.

   • New List Quantity - When you select this, the total quantity on the current (new) BOM is used.

   • Released Quantity - Indicates the quantity that is released to procurement; by default, it initially equals the Recommended Quantity. You can edit this cell manually to change the contingency material.

   • Recommended Quantity- When you select this, the New List Quantity plus the disposition (contingency) material is used.

3. The name of the project default for the initial value of this field is ZR_M_DISPO.

Set Increased Quantity: On unchecking the checkbox, the increased quantity will be set to 0. This forces you to check the quantities, otherwise the position will not be released to procurement because there has been no change in quantity.

• The unchecked setting is in effect only if you also choose All Quantities as Scope of Interest.

• ZR_M_I_QTY is the default value when inserting new records.

List Node Factor

• By default, the checkbox not checked. If the checkbox is checked, it will have a negative influence on the performance of the MTO.

• Change the default only if you know that the quantity factor of the list node is greater than 1 and has to be included in the MTO. This is done to avoid the quantity factors, included in the MTO, that have been set inconsiderately to a value greater than 1.

• ZR_M_LNFCT is the project default for the initial value for the List Node Factor.

Handle Assemblies

• If there is already a line item with the MTO criteria (like ident, group-by-properties, ...), the quantity (from the assembly-requisition) will be added to the Total List Quantity (and -of course- the Disposition Quantity and the Total Release Quantity).

• If there is no such line item, the procedure creates a new line item with this ident (quantity, ...).

• This procedure is invoked only for MTO-Types which include idents because it makes no sense to handle assemblies for a Non-Ident-MTO.

• There is a separate cell on the requisition line item called Assembly Quantity, where the resulting quantity is explicitly stored.

• Although the line items of the assembly-requisitions can be deleted/replaced, when they will be distributed to the engineering requisition, they will not be deleted physically but set to inactive (and may not be visible in the form therefore). They will remain on the line item table to trace the derivation of assemblies.

• If some line items of the assembly-requisitions cannot be populated to engineering requisitions (because they do not match the requisition set details) they will remain in the assembly-requisition. Therefore, it is always worth to investigate the created assembly-requisitions to see if some line items remained active. If this assembly-requisition will be released to procurement, only the active (not assigned) line items will be released.

• Although the assembly-requisition has the same algorithm in creating supplements (otherwise it will result in a foreign key error), there is only a restricted processing for these requisitions: They will not be compared with the last supplement, they will not be included into disposition and no account code and ROS date will be calculated. With the background of releasing these requisitions to procurement, the weight will be calculated.

• Engineering requisitions which are assembly-requisitions have a code (name) starting with Assemblies...'.

• Project default ZR_M_ASSEM is used as default value for this checkbox.
