Origin of production orders

In the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, you can manually define production orders. However, production orders generally originate from an LN package.

Production orders can be generated in the following packages:

  • Enterprise Planning
  • Warehousing

The orders that originate from these LN packages are transferred to the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session in the Shop Floor Control module of Manufacturing. You can also manually define production orders in this session .

The order system that you define for the item in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session determines the package from which an item's production order originates.

Production orders from Enterprise Planning

Items with the order system Planned are processed in the Order Planning module of Enterprise Planning. The item's order policy determines how production orders are handled in Enterprise Planning.

  • If the item's order policy is Anonymous, Enterprise Planning creates planned production orders based on forecast. Planned production orders are generated in the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session. You can also manually enter planned production orders in the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session.
  • If an item's order policy is To Order, the item is a standard-to-order (STO) item or a customized item. Enterprise Planning can plan the requirements for these item types. Planned production orders are generated based on the customer orders that you enter in Sales.

You can transfer the planned production orders to the Shop Floor Control module in the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session in the Plan Transfer (PAT) module of Enterprise Planning. In this session, you can also transfer production plans to the Shop Floor Control module. LN converts these plans into planned production orders before they are transferred.

Production orders from Warehouse Management

Items with order system statistical inventory control ( SIC) are processed in Warehousing. You can use the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session to generate production-order advices.

However, the item's supply system defined in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session also determines how production orders are generated in Warehousing:

  • If the supply system is KANBAN, you must use the Generate Orders (KANBAN) (whinh2200m000) session.
  • If the supply system is Time-Phased Order Point, you must use the Generate Orders (TPOP) (whinh2201m000) session.

Use the Transfer Production Order Advice (whina3202m000) session to transfer production order advices with status Confirmed to the Shop Floor Control module.
