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.

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 Warehouse field of the Production Order (tisfc0101m100) 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.
