An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a
specified delivery date.
Select Data for Planning Board (tisfc1125m000)Use this session to select the production orders that must be displayed in the graphical planning board (SFC Gantt chart). You can simply select a range of production orders, but you can also use several criteria to select production orders, for example, production orders by PCS project, production start date, machine, or work center. Carry out the following steps:
In the planning board, you can choose how to view the production orders. For more information, refer to SFC Gantt Chart (tisfc1126m000).
Production Order An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a
specified delivery date. Project A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are
performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by
a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production
of these items. For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:
A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production. Production Start Date The date that the production order is started. Plnd Dlv Date The date that the production order items are finished according
to the planning. Order Status The status assigned to a production order, which indicates how
far a production order has been processed. For example, Planned, Documents Printed, or Released. Work Center A specific production area consisting of one or more people
and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit
for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling. Machine In LN,
a mechanical object on which operations can be carried out to produce items. Machines are linked to operation rates. The operation rate and the labor rate together form the basis for the actual costing of production orders. Remainder Start Date The date on which the rest of the production is planned to
start. Item In LN,
the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be
purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:
Skip Operation Having Remaining Production Time = 0 If this check box is selected, finished operations are
not displayed in the planning board. Skip operations with status Completed If this check box is selected, operations with the Completed status are not displayed in the planning
board. Read Only If this check box is selected, you will not be able to
move operations around with the mouse in the planning board to change the
operations' planning data. However, you will be able to
double-click the operation blocks in the planning board, so that the
appropriate session is started in which you can change planning
data. Grid Size If you are replanning operations in the graphical planning
board, you can define the step size (in minutes) to drag and drop an operation.
For example, if the Grid Size field is 30 minutes, you can move an operation with steps of 30
minutes. The start time of your operation can then be 12.30, 13.00, 13.30,
etcetera. Note If your grid size is 1 or 2 minutes, and you increase it, for example, to 15 or 30 minutes, the sensivity of the planning board is decreased. A larger step size prevents you from accidently moving an operation by only touching the operation with the mouse. Activity Description The description on the activity bars can be: Allowed values
