Intended learning outcomes: Describe master data of products, components, and operations. Explain the data structure of item master, bill of material, and where-used list. Disclose the data structure of work center master data, the work center hierarchy, as well as for operation, routing sheet, production equipment, bill of production equipment, and bill of tools.
The term master data comprises the data of all the order-independent business objects discussed in Section 1.2 (see Section 5.1.4).
This section first introduces the master data for the conventional MRP II concept, which is intended for products with convergent product structures. Section 17.4 discusses the extensions arising from the processor-oriented concept (divergent product structures). The extensions arising from the variant-oriented concept are described in Section 17.5.
