Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000)

Use this session to control material and end items that are sent from the warehouse to the job shop, and back. In this session, you can issue, return, or cancel items in a detailed way, which is especially important in case of serialized items or lot controlled items. Every material or end item transaction that results in a warehouse order is reflected by a production warehouse order in this session.

You can select in the View menu which production warehouse orders you want to view:

  • The production warehouse orders for the End Item.
  • The production warehouse orders for the Material, which are sorted by material position number.
Note

If you want to control warehouse handling of material and end items in a less detailed way, you can use the following sessions:

 

Production Order
Production Order

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

Possible values

General
Material

Position

The position number of the production order's material.

Operation

One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out successively to produce an item.

The following data is collected during a routing operation:

  • The task. For example, sawing.
  • The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine.
  • The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork.
  • The number of employees required to carry out the task.

This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices.

Warehouse

The warehouse of a material (in the Material view), or an end item (in the End Item view).

Action
To Issue

The material quantity that is issued from the warehouse to the job shop.

Subs Dlv

The material quantity that will be issued at a future date or time.

To Cancel

Specify the material quantity for which issue from the warehouse is cancled.

Note
  • You can only cancel an item quantity if the item is used as a material.
  • You cannot cancel a quantity of end items.
  • You can only cancel a material quantity if the warehouse order status is not yet Shipped. The actual quantity that is already issued must be less than the ordered quantity.
To Return

Specify the number of items that you want to return from the job shop to the warehouse, or the number of end items that you want to recall from the warehouse to the job shop. After entering the return quantity, click Process in the appropriate menu to start the return process.

If the Multiple Lots check box and/or the Multiple Serials check box is selected, you must specify lot number(s) and/or serial number(s) to indicate which lot or serialized item must be returned to the warehouse. Start the details session of a specific production warehouse order to do so.

Note

You can only use this field if no material distribution is present for the item.

If a material distribution is present, you must use the Return Quantity field in the details session of a specific production warehouse order.

For more information, refer to the Return Quantity field in the details session.

Quantities
Estimated

The estimated material quantity that is required for the production order.

Actual

The material quantity that is issued from the warehouse, and received on the job shop.

Methods
Backflush

If this check box is selected, backflushing is applied as method to issue the material.

Direct Initiate

If this check box is selected, the warehouse order line for the material is automatically unblocked during production order release. You do not need to run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session to unblock the material.

If this check box is cleared, and if the material is not backflushed, you must click Initiate Inventory Issue in the appropriate menu to unblock the material's warehouse order line.

An unblocked warehouse order line serves as a signal for the warehouse employees to begin the warehouse outbound procedure, starting with an outbound advice for the material. The warehouse outbound procedure results in material sent to the job shop. If the Direct Process WH Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after the warehouse order line is unblocked.

Direct Process WH Order Line

If this check box is selected, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after that materials in the warehouse are unblocked by clicking Initiate Inventory Issue in the appropriate menu.

If this check box is cleared, and you unblock warehouse order lines by clicking Initiate Inventory Issue in the appropriate menu, you must carry out the rest of the warehousing procedure manually.

Date

If the production warehouse order relates to end items, the date refers to the requested delivery date of the production order.

If the production warehouse order relates to material, the date refers to when the material is required on the job shop.

Ownership

Indicates if, and at which point in the supply chain, the ownership of goods changes from the supplier to the customer. Ownership changes also occur between departments or business units within an organization. When the ownership changes, payment is due.

In traditional, non-VMI scenarios, the ownership of an item changes from the supplier to the customer after the customer has received the item from the supplier. The customer must pay for the item on receipt of the goods.

In various subcontracting scenarios, ownership will not change during any of the inbound or outbound warehousing processes. In such cases, the ownership is customer owned.

In vendor managed inventory (VMI) scenarios, the ownership can be consigned. If the ownership is consigned, the ownership change is either time based or consumption based.

  • Consumption based
    The customer issues the goods to sell them or to consume them
  • Time based

    Some time after:

    • The customer receives the goods
    • The last issue or receipt of the goods

For time based ownership change, the period of time is laid down in the contract between the customer and the supplier.
