[WebERP-developers] BOMs.php Location Defaults

[rfthomas <rf...@as...>]

The BOM now carries a location and workcenter on each record.  There should
be a header and detail for BOM's, so that the defaults for the whole BOM may
be set and maintained in one place.

Our business needs to maintain control on BOMs per US DOD, and other US and
foreign country traceability and configuration control requirements.

If by location a BOM differs, i.e. items utilized differ or manufacturing
method differs outside of certain strict parameters, then it is not the same
inventory item.  The usual convention is to keep the main inventory code the
same and for this marginally different BOM, add a part revision code, a
routing code and a routing revision code.  Inventory code example:

<part code>_<design revision>_<routing>_<Routing process revision>

BLISC_010_A_001

It is recognized that properly handling equivalent parts, i.e.
BLISC_010_A_001 and BLISC_010_B_120 are interchangeable items, i.e. all
BLISC_010.  The customer would order BLISC_010 and higher level BOMs would
reference BLISC_010.  The actual build/sale operation would then pull any
parts with a code starting with BLISC_010 irrespective of routing and
routing revision,

In any case the current BOMs.php does not allow for defaults for location or
workstation, but merely shows the first location and workcenter in
alphabetical order.

In order to have a reasonable default location, i.e. the
DefaultFactoryLocation, we have changed BOMs.php around line 705 as follows:

		while ($myrow = DB_fetch_array($result)) {
			if (isset($_POST['LocCode']) AND $myrow['loccode']==$_POST['LocCode']) {
				echo '<option selected="selected" value="';
			} else {
				if($myrow['loccode']==$_SESSION['DefaultFactoryLocation']) {
					echo '<option selected="selected" value="';
				} else {
					echo '<option value="';
				}	
			}

The code should/could be further modified to use the loccode and code (field
name on BOM table for WorkCenter) of the first member of the BOM as the
default.
