Product Structure Reports

The Product Structure Reports include a summarized parts list and indented bills of material; these reports are described in detail in the following sections.

Summarized Parts List

The summarized parts list combines the summarized bills of material for all final products or master schedule items. The gross requirement for any final product is the total planned order quantity for that final product. The net requirement is calculated as the gross requirement minus the quantity on hand.

The summarized parts list is given by the SUMMARYOUT= output data set in PROC BOM. For details about this data set, see the section "Summarized Parts Data Set". Figure A.4 shows the summarized parts list for the BOM Web example.

Indented BOM

To reduce the size of the displays, the indented bill of material can be separated into a bill of material for each final product. Chapter 3 describes a macro, %BOMRMLB, that constructs an indented bill of material for a selected item.

Figure A.5 shows the tabular view of the Indented BOM for the 5-Gal Carpet Cleaner. In the BOM Web example, each part number is selectable and produces the Indented BOM for the item identified by the selected part number. You can also selectively collapse or expand sections of the Indented BOM by clicking on the - and + icons next to the part numbers.

Figure A.6 shows the diagram view of the Indented BOM for the 5-Gal Carpet Cleaner. Each node in the diagram represents a record in the tabular view as displayed in Figure A.5. This diagram is generated using the NETDRAW procedure; Example 2.1 in Chapter 2 illustrates the use of PROC NETDRAW to draw a tree diagram for an indented bill of material. In addition, you can use the WEB= option in PROC NETDRAW to construct a "clickable" Indented BOM diagram. For example, clicking on the node "2104" in Figure A.6 produces the Indented BOM shown in Figure A.7.
