Production Orders (tisfc0501m000)

Use this session to maintain or display the production orders used in LN.

Production orders go through a number of order statuses, for example:

  • Planned
  • Documents Printed
  • Released

The order status determines which actions can be performed on a production order. For more information, refer to Production order status.

Note

Click Duplicate in the menu or the toolbar to duplicate the production order, which means that the production header information is copied. The production order's original material and operations are not copied for a number of reasons:

  • Some materials in the BOM, or some operations may be invalid because of engineering changes.
  • Master data such as warehouse, item, cost price, and so on, may be changed, which can lead to inconsistent orders.
  • Information such as operation texts or drawings can be linked to the production order. LN cannot determine which data must be copied because this can differ for every occasion. Furthermore, LN cannot make a distinction between original and modified data.
  • Production order costing can be different for the original and the duplicated production order.
  • All warehouse orders and related data must always be regenerated anyway.
Details session

Select Production Orders details on the appropriate menu, or select the Production Orders details icon on the toolbar to go to the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) details session, which contains the following tabs:

  • General
    Provides general production order data, and planning dates, such as the production start date and the planned delivery date.
  • Planning
    Lists actual planning dates such as the completion date, the actual delivery date, and the closing date.
  • Quantities
    Provides data about the quantities that were planned, delivered, rejected, and/or backflushed.
  • Costing
    Contains dates important for costing issues, such as the moment of freezing the estimates, the calculation date, and the actual closing date.
  • Print Status
    Displays the print status of all the order documents used for the production order. The print status can be:
    • Original Document
    • Modified Document
    • Document Printed
Header-lines session

Double-click a record in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session to start the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) header-lines session. In this session, you can carry out tasks that relate to the material side and the operations side of a production order. LN not only displays general data and planning data such as the planning method, production start date, and the planned delivery date, but also other data related to a particular production order by means of the following tabs:

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
The production order for which the data is recorded.
Project (PCS)
The project for which the production order is intended.

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

Quantity Ordered
The quantity to be produced by the production order.
Inventory Unit
The unit of the quantity produced.
Item
The item produced by the production order.
Warehouse
The warehouse where the items produced by the production order are stored.

You can change this warehouse in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session, unless deliveries have already been made.

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.
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.

Allowed values

Possible Values

Quantity Initial
The order quantity for the effectivity unit at the time the production order was released.
Quantity to Deliver
The cumulative value of the part of the production order that is waiting to be delivered to inventory.

Allowed values

When Warehousing finishes the inbound procedure for the delivered items, LN adds the value of the Quantity to Deliver field to the Delivered field, and sets the Quantity to Deliver field back to zero.

Quantity Delivered
The quantity of finished goods posted to inventory.
Reason for Rejects
The reason for the rejection. Use a reason with reason type Rejection of Production Result.

To define the reasons for rejection, use the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session.

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.

Backflush Hours
If this check box is selected, you can backflush the hours spent to manufacture the item to a backflush employee.

Related topics

Quantity to Backflush
The quantity that still has to be backflushed.
Quantity Backflushed
The quantity already backflushed.
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.

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 must be of the type WIP Transfer Costs. If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, the WIP Transfer Cost Component field can stay empty.

This field cannot be changed after the estimates are frozen or the first WIP transfer is executed.

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.

The value in this field is the default value for the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Moment of freezing estimates.

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

For more information, see Moment of Completion Posting.

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 Closing Date
The date on which LN posts the financial results of the production order.

The closing date must meet the following conditions:

  • Not later than the current date.
  • Later than or equal to the order-completion date.
  • Later than or equal to the last cost-price calculation date of the item.
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.
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.

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.

Order Split Applied
If this check box is selected, the production order is split off into one or more child orders.
Parent Order
The production order number of the parent order.
Note

If this field is specified, this is a child production order that originates from a split order.
