BOMAlternate defines alternative component structures for the same assembly. It allows different sets of components or versions of a BOM to be used for the same finished item, depending on conditions such as availability, location, production method, or planning requirements.
The scope of this interface is between Global Integration Suite and Maestro. This document includes details of the BOMAlternate.tab object.
The objective is to populate the BOMAlternate and it's referenced tables based on the file provided by Global Integration Suite.

Step | Description |
|---|---|
1 | Global Integration Suite transfers transformed Composites / Rest of World data from S/4, and performs some formatting, and sends the data to Maestro. |
2 | China Integration Suite transfers transformed China data from S/4, and performs some formatting, and sends the data to Maestro. |
3 | Transferred files will be sent to Maestro’s Client SFTP server. This sits outside of the Maestro firewall and is accessible by client using a user id/ password. Files are transferred from this component to the Planning Server SFTP by a Kinaxis automatic process once the trigger file has been placed (see below) |
4 | Files are moved to this SFTP server automatically, where they await loading into Maestro. |
5 | Maestro uses the configured DSM (Data Sources and Mapping) setup to load the data into the BOMAlternate table, with the load initiated either manually or through a scheduled system task. |
6 | The Data Tables which store information in Maestro |
See OnHand.tab System Interface document for dependencies.
See Application Architecture - Maestro for security requirements for SFTP/REST based authentication and security.
The Data Sources and Mapping for this interface should be configured once, according to the structure in the Data Structure section below.
The Data Model needs to be configured with the Syway-specific fields shown in the Data Model Custom Fields section below.
None
The base of this design has been taken from the existing Maestro implementation, as designed during the Advanced Planning System (APS) Project.
A fit-gap analysis was undertaken within Syway, and changes were identified which have been incorporated into the Syway spec as shown.
The data object provided by either Integration Suite will be consumed by Maestro.
For more information see the Data Integration Document.
| Column Number | Field Name | Technical Field Name | Data Type | Key | Field Type | Autocreate | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Value | Value | String | Y | ExtractField | Default | Unique identifier for the BOM Alternate value. This field represents the primary key and is used to uniquely identify each alternate BOM. |
| 2 | Description | Description | String | N | ExtractField | Default | Descriptive text providing additional context or meaning for the BOM Alternate value. |
See File Formats - SFTP section in the Data Integration Document.
Data Model BOMAlternate table settings:
| Allow Data update to: | Currency | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Insert, Modify and Delete records | Insert and Modify records only | Allow automatic record creation | Determined by Maestro | Expression |
| Y | - | N | Y | - |
There are no custom BOMAlternate fields.
See Processing Logic - SFTP section in the Data Integration Document.
This file will be a Full Load, sent 3 times a day, so the file has been loaded at the beginning of day for each global region. If BOMAlternate is omitted from any of these loads, the BOMAlternate data within Maestro will be unchanged.
For more information on the difference between Full and Delta loads, see the Full Loads and Delta Loads - SFTP section in the Data Integration Document.
See the Interface Alert & Monitoring - SFTP section in the Data Integration Document,
None
Not required.
Reference tables to support BOMAlternate table data have to be either loaded manually before loading the BOMAlternate table or at the same time as the BOMAlternate table is loaded or set to be created automatically in data model or in DSM.
BOMAlternate has no referenced tables.
Current APS Volume of BOMAlternate records is approximately 170 including auto-created records. Because APS makes up approximately 60% of Syway projected records, an expected estimate for Syway is therefore 280
This value is expected to grow by 1-2% per year.
N/A
See Interface Alert & Monitoring section.
See OnHand.tab System Interface document for information on how to test.
There are no BOMAlternate-specific testing requirements.
See OnHand.tab System Interface document for information on test conditions and expected results.
There are no BOMAlternate-specific test conditions.
Dependent files should already be loaded into Maestro for these tests to complete. See Sequencing section above.
