Production Orders (tisfc0101s000)

 

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

The production order number is determined by the LN.

Manual entering of production orders

If you manually define a production order, you must enter the series from which the production order number is taken. LN uses the first free number from this series. You must choose a series from the number group in the Number Group in Production Ordering field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. Defaults for the production order are based on the series you select as well as on the defaults you define in the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) session.

Production Order
The order status of the production order.

Related topics

General
Series Description
The description of the series.
SFC Order Group
The order group to which the production order belongs.

Related topics

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.
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. Click Default Qty to determine the quantity for an item.

If you are using effectivity units when you alter the value of the current field, the value of the 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.

This field cannot be accessed anymore if:

  • A quantity is displayed in the To Deliver field or the Rejected field on the Quantities tab.
  • A quantity is typed in the Completed field or the Rejected field for the last operation.
Note

You can reduce the order quantity for released orders, for example, from 10 to 7. However, you cannot change the order quantity to a value less than the quantity that is reported as complete on an operation. If you want to enter a ordered quantity that is less than the quantity on an operation, you must reduce the quantity on the operation first. To do this, you must take the following into account:

  • If the operation status is Completed, you must reset the operation status to Active.
  • If a count point is used on the operation, you must first remove the count point before you can complete the order with a lower quantity.
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.

Click Retrieve Routing to determine the default routing.

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.

Planning
Update Method
The method by which the production order data is updated.
Reference

This date determines the selection of operation lines and BOM lines defined in these 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 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.

If a production order, originating from a sales order, is transferred from Enterprise Planning, the requested delivery date equals the sales order delivery date minus the warehouse inbound, warehouse outbound, safety time and extra lead time. These four lead times cause a difference between the sales order delivery date and the planned delivery date.

You can only alter the requested delivery date:

  • If you manually enter a production order.
  • If an order is transferred from Warehousing.
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

Split Hours in Setup and Production
If this check box is selected, the estimated and actual hours of an operation are split up.

The estimated and actual hours of an operation can be split up in setup time hours and cycle time hours. This results in a setup part and a production part for the estimated and the actual man and machine hours, which can be viewed in, for example, the Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0502m000) session.

Note

Selecting this check box can negatively impact system performance if hours are backflushed. Hours are backflushed if the Backflush Hours check box in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is selected.

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.

Related topics

Dates
Moment Freezing Estimates
The moment when LN freezes the estimated order costs. When the estimated order costs have been frozen, you can no longer modify the data in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Default value

The default for this field is the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) session.

Moment of Completion Posting
The moment when LN posts the financial transactions for the completed quantities to Financials.

This field can have the following values:

  • Quantity Completed
    Every time you report a quantity of the main item completed, LN posts the corresponding financial transactions.
  • Order Status Completed
    When the production order status is set to Completed, LN posts the corresponding financial transactions.
Note

To limit the number of postings and obtain the best performance, it is recommended to set this field to Order Status Completed, unless you require more frequent posting of transactions.

Default value

The default for this field is the Moment Completion Posting field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0500m000) session.

Calculation Date
The date on which the calculation of the estimated end item unit costs is based.

The date in the Calculation Date field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session is not necessarily the date when the calculation is performed, because you can define in the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session another date than the current date for the calculation.

Note
  • This date is only filled when the calculation is performed successfully.
  • This date is used in the Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0502m000) session for determining the effective date of the cost prices of materials.
Actual Costing Date
The actual date on which the calculation of the estimated end item unit cost is based.
Setup
Financial Transactions by Work Center
If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The default setting is determined by the Financial Transactions by Work Center checkbox in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.
Actual WIP Transaction Done
If this check box is selected, a WIP transaction has been done, which means the order status has become Active.
Estimated Costs Are 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.

Definitively Closed
If this check box is selected, all financial transactions for the production order were removed using the Delete Production Order Transactions (ticst3200m000) session. Therefore, you can no longer reset the production order status.
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.

Note

The default setting of this check box is determined in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.

Project Costing Data
Project
The project for which the production order is intended.

If this field is empty, the product of the production order is an anonymous item.
