| Production warehouse orders in ManufacturingThe detailed warehouse handling of material and end items
enables you to: - Make a difference between canceling a
quantity that is still in the warehouse, and returning a
redundant quantity from the shop floor to the warehouse.
- Return a specific lot code or serial number to the warehouse. This is useful if
multiple lots or serial numbers are in the warehouse for a specific material or production order.
- Specify different planned issue dates or receipt dates for a
material or a production order. The planned inventory transactions reflect the
different dates. Consequently, the MRP planning will result in a more accurate
material planning.
- Restart automatic processing, if you use automatic processing
of warehouse orders (the Direct Process Warehouse Order line check box is selected in the Items - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) session), and previous automatic processing
was not successful, for example, due to a shortage.
- Select a different warehouse procedure when using return
orders.
How to use Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) In the Material view, you
can issue, cancel, or return material quantities in the session's heading as
well as in the lines, for a specific production warehouse order. To issue material from the warehouse: - Specify the quantity that you want to issue in the header in
the To Issue field.
- In the appropriate menu, click Process. If you typed a quantity in the To Issue field that is less than the ordered quantity, a new production
warehouse order can be created.
- To continue the material handling process, select the
appropriate production warehouse order, and choose the next action in the
procedure in the appropriate menu.
If you want to cancel a
material quantity, you must also specify the quantity in respectively the To Return field or the To Cancel field in the header, and then click Process in the appropriate menu. If the Blocked check box is cleared, you cannot manually
change the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field anymore to cancel a specific
quantity to be issued from the warehouse you must cancel the quantity by doing
the following: Specify the quantity that you want to cancel
in the To Cancel field in the header , or in the Quantity to Cancel field for a specific production
warehouse order. For example, if the ordered quantity for a specific material
is 8, but you need only 6, you must enter 2 in the To Cancel field. If a material distribution is present, you
must cancel the quantity on the appropriate production warehouse orders. If
there is no material distribution, you can cancel the quantity in the To Cancel in the header. - In the appropriate menu, click Process. The ordered quantity is corrected in Warehousing.
Whether the corrected ordered quantity is displayed in this session depends on
how far the warehouse outbound procedure has already progressed:
- If the warehouse outbound procedure has not started yet, or
is in an early stage, the ordered quantity of the appropriate production
warehouse order is adjusted: The quantity that you typed in the To Cancel field is subtracted from the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field, and the To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero).
- If the warehouse outbound procedure is already too
advanced, the Quantity Ordered for the production warehouse order is
not adjusted anymore. However, the canceled quantity is displayed in the Quantity Canceled field so that warehouse employees
know that this quantity does not need to be picked in the warehouse. The To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero).
To return a quantity, carry out the following
steps: - Type the quantity you want to return in the Return Quantity field.
- Optionally, specify a reason code in the Return Reason field, and a order type in the Return Order type field.
If required, click Select in the Select Lot / Serial field, after which you can specify
lot codes or serial numbers in the Return Lots and Serials (whinh2149m000) session. If the Multiple Lots check box and the Multiple Serials check box are cleared, only one
serial number or lot code, or no serial numbers/lot codes apply to the
production warehouse order. If you carry out the next step, click Create Return, the lot code or serial
number from the current production warehouse order is automatically copied to
the return order. If no lot code is defined, a return order without a lot code
is created. - Click Create Return. The production warehouse
order for the specified quantity is created.
Multiple production warehouse orders The following sections provide examples of
multiple production warehouse orders, for example in case of subsequent
deliveries or unit effective items. Example There are two production orders, one for
issue and one for subsequent delivery. These two production warehouse orders
initially have the same allocation date, but you can change the allocation date
manually in the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session. Example An order distribution as defined in the Production Order Distribution (tisfc0105m000) session can result in multiple production warehouse
orders. This is the case if the end item or material is defined as Lot Controlled in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, and the Lots in Inventory check box is selected in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. One production warehouse order is generated
for every involved effectivity unit. If the end item or material is not Lot Controlled, the full quantity of the production order or material is
recorded for effectivity unit 0 (zero), so in that case only one production
warehouse order is present. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, also only one production warehouse order is
present. Search for lot number or serial number If you must find orders related to a specific
lot number or serial number, you can use the Production Warehouse Orders Overview session. A search will not always produce
results. If the item's Lot Selection field is Any, and the Multiple Lots check box is selected, it means that more
than one lot number is used in an order. As a result, you cannot search for
production warehouse orders related to one of those lot codes in the Production Warehouse Orders Overview (timfc0101m100) session. The same goes for serialized items: If the Multiple Serials check box is selected, more than one
serial number is used in an order. As a result, you cannot search for
production warehouse orders related to one of those serial numbers in the Production Warehouse Orders Overview (timfc0101m100) session. | |
