Estimated Costs Frozen
If this check box is selected, the estimated materials cannot be changed anymore.

At which specific moment LN freezes the estimated costs depends on the value of the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session.

Quantity Ordered
The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity.
Quantity Ordered
The inventory unit in which LN expresses the quantity ordered.
Backflush Materials
If this check box is selected, the materials for the production order are issued through backflushing.

Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed.

If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO)) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session.

Position
The position number identifies the estimated material within the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.
.
Operation
The operation which uses the material.
  • If the production order has operations, you must enter an operation.
  • If the production order has no operations, LN will assume that the material is needed at the start of the production.

Default value

The default for this field is derived from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

If backflushing is applied to this material, you cannot change this field if the result would be a change in the quantity to backflush or the backflushed quantity.

Note

If a material is used in multiple operations, you must link the material to the operation where it is used first. You can also enter the material more than once, and specify the quantity for each operation.

Item
The item that is used as a material in production.

The allocations in the warehouse, that is, the blocked quantities in the warehouse order lines.

Serialized items

In case of a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, LN by default puts the quantity to be issued in the Subsequent Delivery field. However, you can also anonymously issue a quantity of serialized items. This means that in Warehousing, the items' serial numbers are determined, such as by scanning a bar code. To do so, type the quantity to be issued in this field, and run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session.

If there is still a quantity of serialized items left in the Subsequent Delivery field, LN issues those items based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session.

Subsequent Delivery
The quantity in this field can relate to the following concepts:

Backflushing

If you use backflushing, the quantity to be backflushed is displayed in this field. This quantity is not taken into account when you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session. In Warehousing, the quantity is expressed as a blocked quantity in a warehouse order line.

Manual issuing

If the Manual Issuing check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, the planned allocated quantity is displayed in this field. To issue, enter the required quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to Specify material to be issued.

Serialized items

If the item is a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, this field displays the quantity of the serialized item that must be issued.

If you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, LN issues the quantity in this field based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. Only the items for which you entered a serial number are issued; the rest of the item quantity stays in the Subsequent Delivery field. For example, if the quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field is 10, and for three items a serial numbers is available in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session, only these three items are issued. The quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field becomes 10 - 3 = 7.

LN puts the serialized item quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field for the purpose of issuing the items according to the serial numbers specified in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. To issue serialized items anonymously, enter that quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to the To Issue field help.

In case of a rework order, where a material line contains a serialized item that must be reworked, the end item with the correct serial number must be issued. The serial number is registered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session. For more information, refer to Rework order procedure for serialized items

Note

You cannot access this field in the following cases:

  • When the operation is blocked for issue.
