Detecting and transferring long lead-time components

Long lead-time components that must be ordered or produced at an early stage can be added to a production file for long lead-time components. To prevent the components from being ordered or produced again when the final product structure is built, you can specify that for any part calculation line, Isah checks whether the part is already present in a production file for long lead-time components. This functionality has resulted in the following modifications:

• The new basic setting Detect long lead-time components allows you to specify that you want to use this detection feature.
• The Production calculation for parts form now has a Long lead-time component tab, showing the detection alerts and the origins of the part calculation line.
• From the part calculation line, you can open the new informational form Detection of long lead-time components, where you can see the origins and destinations of the part calculation line, including the quantities assigned. From this form, you can start processes to transfer the long lead-time components to the final production file:
  • For long lead-time items: Change purchase line destination
  • For long lead-time production components: Change production file destination
