3. MAIL will have 3 KMAT material types (at this stage) 1.ECP3 2.ECO28 3.ECO32 In future, if additional series added new KMAT type will be generated.

4. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 For ECP3 KMAT Type, created 1 class : 1.CM_MAIL

5. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Class CM_MAIL Characteristics and their values follows:

6. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Stack Lengths Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL Characteristic name Characteristic Values

7. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Poles Number Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

8. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Construction form evaluation Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

9. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Flying Wheel Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

10. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Voltage Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

11. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Frequency(HZ) Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

12. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Power Rating(KVA ) Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

13. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 RPM Characteristics of Class CM_MAIL

14. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Stack lengths Poles number Construction form evaluation Flying wheel Voltage (Leads) Frequency Power rating RPM CM_MAIL Characteristics defined (along with their values) are : Class name given : Definition of class : CM_MAIL

15. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 There is only CLASS defined as shown 1) CM_MAIL (Characteristics)

16. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Defining KMAT – Configurable Material – MODEL ECP3 N Steps : - Define Super BOM (all the Components required to produce the ECP 3 NSeries) - Assign classes - Define Object Dependency (OD) to particular component (listed in Super BOM)

17. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 After creating class, created one KMAT material : MODEL ECP3 N and assigned class defined earlier as below - KMAT Material Classes assigned Characteristics of classes Defined KMAT material and assigned classes KMAT ECP3N Class CM-MAIL Characteristics

18. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Defined Super BOM for KMAT Material MODEL ECP3 KMAT Material Super BOM Right mark on OD column Defines some dependency No right mark indicates Component is common for ECP3 series KMAT Super BOM Object Dependency

19. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 OD has been defined as : STACKLENGTH='1s'and mpHASE='1'and MOUNTING='SAE 3/10'and POLESNUMBER='4‘ Defining dependency for particular material listed in Super BOM This particular component will be picked up From super BOM when this combination Is selected by user STACKLENGTH='1s'and mpHASE='1'and MOUNTING='SAE 3/10'and POLESNUMBER='4‘

20. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Creation of FERT CODE – STEP 1 One FERT Code created 31900100 (of ECP 3 N series) Assigned all the classes created to this FERT code using Classification view FERT CODE With Class Characteristics

21. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Creation of FERT CODE – STEP 2 Assigned KMAT material (MODEL ECP3 N) using MRP3 view Kmat ECP3 N Assign in MRP 3

22. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Selection of all characteristics and their values of the particular FERT. (It will create link which will help jumping to FERT when we select characteristics while Creating sales order) Creation of FERT CODE – STEP 3 FERT code Configuration selection FERT CODE Characteristics & Values

23. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 All configuration set….. Creation of sales order

24. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Select KMAT (configurable material ) MODEL ECP 3 N in Sales order (for ECP 3 type alternator), enter quantity Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3 Nseries alternator) – STEP 1 KMAT –MODEL ECP3 Quantity KMAT

25. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3N series alternator) – STEP 2 Select all the configuration (characteristic and their values) referring the customer order Screen 1 – Characteristic & values

26. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3 series alternator) – STEP 3 Select all the configuration (characteristic and their values) referring the customer order Screen 2 – Characteristic & values After selecting all the characteristic and their values, Click on Variant Matching as shown by arrow mark. Considering the characteristic & values selected, system will automatically jump to the FERT Code 319100100 (for which we’ve created all the configuration in previous slides)

27. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Once system jumps to suitable FERT code (considering the characteristics, which decides FERT code), other characteristics like Frequency, RPM, Power Rating(KVA), flying wheel, Dew Heater & other parameters can be selected, After selecting all the characteristic save that particular sales order. Now it all required characteristics to produce one alternator as per customer requirement. Creation of Sales order (for ECP 3 series alternator) – STEP 4 SYSTEM WILL NOW GENERATE SALES BOM FOR THE ALTERNATOR AS PER CHARACTERISTICS SELECTED AND THE SAME WILL BE REFERRED TO GENERATE PRODUCTION ORDER.

28. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 These are Components, which are required to produce one Alternator as per Sales Order Required These are the Classes Sales BOM generated for the alternator (as per customer order) referring which production order will be released.

29. Variant BOM Configuration Process- MAIL & Unisoft Team-Pune Jun 3, 2010 Key Points 1.There will only 3 KMAT material types for MAIL at this juncture as MAIL will be producing these 3 series only 2.If new series is added in future, new KMAT code to be added 3.Change in bill of material will have a new FERT code 4.Characteristics like Stack length, Poles number, Phase and mounting will be deciding factor for new FERT code. If any of the value changes, there will be new FERT code 5.Change in values of characteristics like voltage, frequency, RPM will not affect the FERT code. 6.FERT codes to be entered in system using the procedure described at once. 7. System will always automatically jump to the FERT code already defined in system if characteristics matches 8.If required characteristic doesn’t matches to the existing FERT code, it means user needs to generate create new FERT code for that specific configuration.
