Set up production scenarios

A different bill of material (BOM),routing, and/or Production Unit of Measure could apply to an item that needs to be produced. The Production Scenarios can define multiple BOMs, Routings, and/or Production Unit of Measure for one output item.

1. Select the Search icon , enter Items, and then choose the related link.
   The Items list page opens.

2. Select the desired No.
   The Item Card page opens.

3. On the action bar, select More options > Related > Bill of Materials > Production >Production Scenarios.

4. Enter the required information in the following fields:

   • Code
   • Description
   • Location Code
   • Variant Code (It can be added via personalization)
   • Production BOM No.
   • Routing No.
   • Production Unit of Measure Code
     You can define one production scenario as the default for each unique combination of item, location code, and variant code. When creating a production order (manually or from a sales order), using calculate regenerative plan, or generating a requisition line, the system applies the default production scenario for the matching item, location, and variant code. > [!NOTE]

   If the Aptean Process Manufacturing extension is integrated, you can see additional fields related to batch optimization on this page. To know more, see Integration with Production Scenarios.

5. Select the Default checkbox.

   
   Only one scenario can be marked as default per item, location code, and variant code.

   The production scenarios for the item are configured.

When calculating requisition lines, the system uses the default production scenario defined for the matching item, location, and variant code. If no default scenario is found, the system assigns it based on the setup on the Stockkeeping Unit Card or Item Card page.

When working with production scenarios, the system consistently evaluates and applies the appropriate scenario based on the item, location, and variant code combination. This functionality applies when:

• Creating or refreshing production orders
• Replanning production orders
• Executing the Carry Out Action Message and Calculate Regenerative Plan actions on the Planning Worksheets page.
• Running batch optimization
• Using the production split worksheet function
• Executing Change Production Scenario action on the Released Production Order, Firm Planned Prod. Order, Planned Production Order, Planning Worksheets, and Production Order Scheduling pages.
