Production Order (tisfc0101m100)

Use this session to view and maintain a production order. You can carry out a number of tasks in this session that relate to the material side and to the operations side of a production order.

Performance aspects

The settings in this session could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Production order without operations and Archive and delete in Shop Floor Control.

 

Production Order
An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date.

You can define a default order series in the Production Order Series for Production Orders field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0500m000).

Item
The item that is produced by the production order.

The item must have been defined in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session, and costing data must have been defined for the item in the Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session. The item must be one of the following types:

  • Manufactured
  • Purchased
  • Generic The item can be standard or customized.
Order
Rework Order
If this check box is selected, the production order is a rework order.

Related topics

Contains Customer Furnished Material
If this check box is selected, lower levels of the BOM contain customer furnished material
Revision
The revision of the item.

Default value

When you maintain a production order, the current revision is linked to it by default.

If you link a revision to a production order, the effective date of the order is changed to the effective date of the revision. Use the Retrieve Revision of Engineering Item button to determine the revision based on the effective date of the production order.

Quantity Ordered
The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity.

If no routing or date has been entered yet, the calendar is based on the default routing and 100% utilization.

If you are using production order distribution when you alter the value of the current field, the value of the Quantity Ordered field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session for each of the effectivity units will be altered so that their total is the same as the value of the current field, and the quantity is evenly distributed between each of the effectivity units.

When a distribution is present the quantity ordered is controlled by the sum of the quantity ordered for the distribution lines.

Quantity Ordered
The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Warehouse
The warehouse where the products are stored. A planned inventory transaction for the produced item is created in this warehouse.
Routing
The routing for the production of the manufactured item. If no routing is entered, there are no estimated production costs defined for the production order.

Default value

The default routing is based on the Default Routing field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session unless order quantity dependent routings are used.

Product Variant
A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, components, and operations.
Example

Configurable item: electric drill

Options:

  • 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)
  • 2 colors (blue, gray).

A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options.

Note

This field is only accessible when a rework order for the manufactured assembly item is created.

Specification
If this check box is selected, a specification is present for the material. From the appropriate menu, click Specification to start the Specification (tcibd4120m000) session. In this session you can view the applicable specifications.
Text
If this check box is selected, text that you have written for the order will be shown in the report.
Planning
Reference
This date determines the selection of operation lines and BOM lines defined in the sessions:
  • Bill of Material (tibom1110m000)
  • Routing Operations (tirou1102m000)
Planning Method
If the Planning Method field is Forward, the delivery date is planned forward based on the Production Start field.

If the Planning Method field is Backward, the production start date is planned backward based on the Planned Delivery field.

You can only alter this field for:

  • Manually-entered orders
  • Orders transferred from the Warehousing package.
Production Start
The date and time on which the order is planned to be taken into production. The Production Start field is filled during production order creation. If the production planning changes, this date can be automatically updated.

The start date of the order can be copied from the planned orders generated in the modules:

  • Warehouse Orders
  • Inventory Planning
  • Order Planning

Forward planning If the planning method field has the value Forward, the production start date can be used to calculate the delivery date.

Backward planning If the planning method field has the value Backward, the production start date can be derived from the delivery date and the order lead time of the item. The production start date is then calculated as follows: Production start date = delivery date - order lead time of item This formula is used in the following situations:

  • When you manually enter a production order
  • When you click the Plan button to recalculate the production start date
  • When a production order for an item of type Manufactured has no routing and is transferred to the Shop Floor Control module.
Note

The calendar that is used for the production order depends on the Used Calendar Type field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session.

If the Used Calendar Type field is Company, the company calendar (defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) details session) is used.

If the Used Calendar Type field is Work Center, the calendar of the work center's department (defined in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) details session) is used.

  • If you selected Work Center in the Used Calendar Type field, but no work center calendar is available, the calendar of the department's enterprise unit is used.
  • If you selected Work Center in the Used Calendar Type field, but neither a work center calendar nor an enterprise unit calendar is available, the calendar of the department's company (defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) details session) is used.

You can manually modify the calculated start date.

Requested Delivery
The date that the customer has requested for the production order.
  • If the planning method is Forward, the Requested Delivery Date equals the Planned Delivery Date of the moment the production order is generated.
  • If the planning method is Backward, the Requested Delivery Date is the starting point for planning.
Planned Delivery
The delivery date and time of the production order.

Allowed values

If the manufactured item is an RPT item a schedule period must have been defined for the delivery date. Schedule periods can be defined in the Calendars and Periods module and must be linked to a schedule in the Repetitive Manufacturing module.

The delivery date of the order is copied from the planned orders generated in the modules:

  • Inventory Planning
  • Order Planning

Forward planning If the planning method field has the value Forward, the delivery date can be derived from the start date and the order lead time of the item. The delivery date is then calculated as follows: Production start date = delivery date + order lead time of item This formula is used in the following situations:

  • When you manually enter a production order
  • When you click the Plan button to recalculate the production start date
  • When a production order for an item of type Manufactured has no routing and is transferred to the Shop Floor Control module.
Note

The calendar that is used for the production order depends on the Used Calendar Type field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session.

If the Used Calendar Type field is Company, the company calendar (defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) details session) is used.

If the Used Calendar Type field is Work Center, the calendar of the work center's department (defined in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) details session) is used.

  • If you selected Work Center in the Used Calendar Type field, but no work center calendar is available, the calendar of the department's enterprise unit is used.
  • If you selected Work Center in the Used Calendar Type field, but neither a work center calendar nor an enterprise unit calendar is available, the calendar of the department's company (defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) details session) is used.

Backward planning If the planning method field has the value Backward, the delivery date can be used to calculate the production start date.

You can manually modify the calculated delivery date.

Confirmed Delivery
The production delivery date of the order confirmed to the customer by, for example, the shop floor planner. You can manually alter this date, until the production order is completed.

Related topics

Backflush Materials
If this check box is selected, you can backflush the material that is required to produce the item.

Serialized items

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.

Calculation Date
The date on which the calculation of the estimated end unit-costs was carried out for the last time.

The entered date is stored in this field if the calculation date entered in the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session differs from the current date.

This date is only filled if the result of the calculation is stored in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session. This date is used for determining the effective date of the cost prices of materials.

Calculation Office
A work center that determines the enterprise unit for a project or production order and that has an administrative function.

For production orders, operations can be carried out in the calculation office, because the calculation office can act as a regular work center.

Checklist
This field indicates whether the checklist has been printed.
Completion Date
The date the order is reported as complete.

Allowed values

Distribution Type

Estimated Costs Frozen
If this check box is selected, the estimated end item unit costs have been frozen, which means they can no longer be modified.

The moment the estimated end item unit costs are frozen depends on the Moment Freezing Estimates field.

Financial transactions by Work Center
If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The material costs and the hours costs are posted to the work center to which these costs apply.

If this check box is cleared, you can view the production results by production order. The surcharges, as well as the material costs and the hours costs, are posted to the production order's calculation office.

Note

The calculation office currency is also used for unlinked materials, that is, if a production order has no operations and no work centers, but only materials.

Currencies

When you calculate the estimated costs, and a Dependent currency system is used, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box also determines the currency that is used:

  • If the check box is selected (production results by work center), the local currency of the costing work center for which the costs are calculated is used.
  • If the check box is cleared (production results by production order), the currency of the calculation office is used.

Estimated end item unit costs

The calculation of the estimated end item unit costs depends on the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box and the cost view, that is, whether the costs are work-center-based or item-based:

Financial transactions by work centerWork center based costsItem based costs
No12
Yes34

 

1: The total end item unit costs are posted for each work center by detailed cost component. The only work center available is the calculation office. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

2: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

3: The total end item unit costs are posted for a costing work center or a calculation office by detailed cost component. The costs on a work center include operation costs and material costs. The costs on the calculation office include (added) end item surcharges and the costs for unlinked materials. The costs are expressed in the local currency of the costing work center.

4: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

Note

You can view the end item unit costs, work center-based as well as item-based, in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session.

WIP transfers

If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, WIP transfers are not calculated. Because the production results are viewed by production order, the costs are posted on the production order's calculation office, and no costs are posted on the work centers. Consequently, there is no need to calculate WIP transfers between different work centers.

Calculating efficiency/price variances

If a production order is closed, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box determines on which level efficiency variances and price variances are calculated. The posting, however, depends on the posting methods that are defined in the following fields:

  • Posting Method Efficiency Variances
  • Posting Method Price Variances
  • Posting Method Efficiency Variances
  • Posting Method Price Variances

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Financial transactions by work center.

[...]

The moving method for operations is not taken into consideration when shifting the production planning by means of the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session or the Shift Production Planning (tisfc1202m000) session. The moving method is only used when shifting on the operation level in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details session.

Default value

The default for this field is the Moving Method Next Opr. field in the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) session.

Update Method
The method by which the production order data is updated.
Use Actual Cost Price for Receipt Posting
If this check box is selected, end items are received in inventory at their actual costs, and valued according to the defined actual valuation method. Valuation methods are defined in Warehousing.

The actual valuation methods are:

  • Mov. Aver. Unit Cost (MAUC)
  • First In First Out (FIFO)
  • Last In First Out (LIFO)
  • Lot Price (Lot)

If you use actual costing, in principle no variances exist. Only additional calculation-office variances can occur. Additional calculation-office variances are variances that cannot be attributed to prices or efficiency. For example, if you start producing smaller orders than the economic lot size, your setup costs increase. The standard cost price is based on the economic order size, so the rise of the setup costs can create an additional calculation-office variance.

If this check box is cleared, fixed transfer price (FTP) is used as valuation method.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Actual cost price for receipt posting.

WIP Transfer Cost Component
The cost component on which WIP transfers between work centers are posted.

The cost component entered should be of type WIP Transfer Costs. If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box has been cleared, you can leave the WIP Transfer Cost Comp. field empty,

You cannot change this field after the estimates have been frozen or the first WIP transfer has been executed.

The value in this field is the default value for the WIP Transfer Cost Comp. field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session.
