Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000)

Use this session to list the estimated quantities of the materials used in a production order and to view or maintain the materials needed to carry out a production order.

 

Production Order

The production order that uses the materials.

Order Status

The order status of the production order.

Allowed values

Order Status

Main Item

The item produced in the production order.

Operated Item

The main item, or the phantom on which the operation is executed.

If the Operated Item field does not contain the same item as the Main Item field, the operated item is a phantom. In this case, the routing of the phantom is connected to the routing of the main item.

If the operated item is not a phantom, the main item and the operated item are the same.

Estimated Costs Are Frozen

If this check box is selected, the estimated materials cannot be changed anymore.

At which specific moment LN freezes the estimated costs depends on the value of the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session.

Quantity Ordered

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

Quantity Ordered

The inventory unit in which LN expresses the quantity ordered.

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.

Position

The position number identifies the estimated material within the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

.
Operation

The operation which uses the material.

  • If the production order has operations, you must enter an operation.
  • If the production order has no operations, LN will assume that the material is needed at the start of the production.

Default value

The default for this field is derived from the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

If backflushing is applied to this material, you cannot change this field if the result would be a change in the quantity to backflush or the backflushed quantity.

Note

If a material is used in multiple operations, you must link the material to the operation where it is used first. You can also enter the material more than once, and specify the quantity for each operation.

Item

The item that is used as a material in production.

Effectivity Unit

A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.

Note

Only applicable when the Project Pegging check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected.

Warehouse

The warehouse that issues the material.

Allowed values

You must enter a warehouse of types Normal or Shop Floor.

Default value

The default for this field is the Warehouse field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

Note

If you use a shop-floor warehouse, the items are first transferred from this warehouse to the shop-floor warehouse before they are issued. In this case, the allocation of the material shifts to the shop-floor warehouse when you release or generate the production order (depending on the Move Allocation to Shop Floor Warehouse parameter)

You can check the type in the Warehouse Type field in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session in Common.

You can no longer change this field:

  • When you have started to issue the material from this warehouse
  • When the estimated costs are frozen
  • When the estimated quantity is not equal to zero
  • When the valuation price in the warehouse is different
Allocation Date

The date and time of a time-phased inventory movement, that is, the date and time on which the material that is allocated to the production order is included in the planned inventory transactions of Warehousing.

Net Quantity

The quantity of a component or material that is theoretically required to make a certain quantity of a product.

This quantity is referred to as the net quantity because in practice you may need more than this quantity to make up for certain losses of the material or the product.

If you work with serialized items, this field's quantity can be less than expected. For more information, refer to Rework order procedure for serialized items.

Estimated Quantity

The estimated quantity of material needed based on net quantities specified in the bill of material (BOM), taking in to account the material increases to compensate ofr loss through scrap and yield.

Backflushing

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

Related topics

Direct Initiate Inventory Issue

If this check box is selected, the warehouse order line for the material is automatically unblocked during production order release. Consequently, 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 use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session 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 shop floor. If the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically.

Note

Estimated quantity = (net quantity * (1+ scrap factor/100%) + scrap quantity) * planned quantity factor
  • Net quantity: required material quantity, disregarding scrap and yield
  • Scrap factor: scrap factor defined for the material in the BOM
  • Scrap quantity: scrap quantity defined for the material in the BOM
  • Planned quantity factor: quantity planned input of current operation/quantity planned output of last operation
To Issue

The allocations in the warehouse, that is, the blocked quantities in the warehouse order lines.

Serialized items

In case of a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, LN by default puts the quantity to be issued in the Subsequent Delivery field. However, you can also anonymously issue a quantity of serialized items. This means that in Warehousing, the items' serial numbers are determined, such as by scanning a bar code. To do so, type the quantity to be issued in this field, and run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session.

If there is still a quantity of serialized items left in the Subsequent Delivery field, LN issues those items based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session.

Subsequent Delivery

The quantity in this field can relate to the following concepts:

Backflushing

If you use backflushing, the quantity to be backflushed is displayed in this field. This quantity is not taken into account when you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session. In Warehousing, the quantity is expressed as a blocked quantity in a warehouse order line.

Manual issuing

If the Manual Issuing check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, the planned allocated quantity is displayed in this field. To issue, enter the required quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to Specify material to be issued.

Serialized items

If the item is a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, this field displays the quantity of the serialized item that must be issued.

If you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, LN issues the quantity in this field based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. Only the items for which you entered a serial number are issued; the rest of the item quantity stays in the Subsequent Delivery field. For example, if the quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field is 10, and for three items a serial numbers is available in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session, only these three items are issued. The quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field becomes 10 - 3 = 7.

LN puts the serialized item quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field for the purpose of issuing the items according to the serial numbers specified in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. To issue serialized items anonymously, enter that quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to the To Issue field help.

In case of a rework order, where a material line contains a serialized item that must be reworked, the end item with the correct serial number must be issued. The serial number is registered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session. For more information, refer to Rework order procedure for serialized items

Note

You cannot access this field in the following cases:

  • When the operation is blocked for issue.
