How to Manage MBOM/EBOM
890175Sep 23 2011 — edited Sep 5 2012Our company is currently beginning the implementation process for Oracle EBS 12R and is having difficulty between the consultants and employees finding a working module to manage our EBOM/MBOM without all the manual upkeep.
Background info:
- Our MBOM is currently managed in Flexnet MES manually
- Agile contains our EBOM as well as all ECR/ECO's
- Agile feeds PeopleSoft currently (which we are converting to Oracle)
- Japan (our parent company) dictates our ECR/ECO's while we manage an in-house MBOM
- The current MBOM is completely manually and not extractable from the MES system
How do we find a logical way to maintain the EBOM in Agile, and the MBOM is Oracle and Flexnet MES without having to make so many manual changes every time an ECO is issued? Obviously we need to set the MBOM first but how do we logically compare the two for changes within the Oracle system and create automated updates? What is the best practice in the field? Thank you for your input.
