10.2

It is possible that some material is not correctly allocated to a requisition. This may happen at the beginning of a project or when new material is introduced to the design and is simply due to the original configuration not allowing for these materials.

In such cases, it is very important to highlight this new material and assign it to a requisition. The material is highlighted by creating a requisition template called OTHERS, which has a single line template Where Condition as follows:

IDENT mapped to IDENT

The Where Condition in A.60.06 should look like shown below.

With this Where condition, Smart Materials will catch all material. When Smart Materials generates requisitions, it will only allocate material to one requisition, thus preventing duplication. The OTHERS node/template should be the last one processed and in this way any material that is not already assigned to a requisition will be assigned to OTHERS.

The material may then be reviewed and included by changing one of the existing templates or creating a new template. The MTO job will need to be re-run to allocate the material to the template. If this template does not exist, the only trace of unallocated materials will be in the MTO log file, which will be much more difficult to review than the OTHERS template.
