Note

 

Actual Supply Source

The supply source that is used to replenish the inventory on hand for the current date as defined in the Date-Effective Supply Source (tcibd0510m000) session.

Allowed values

Supply Source

Search Key

Search keys are used to retrieve items in various sessions.

Inventory Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of the item is recorded.

Default Supply Source

The source that supplies an item by default. An item can be supplied by using purchase orders or schedules, production orders or schedules, assembly orders, or warehousing orders.

The default supply source determines what type of order is used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and specify an alternate source.

You can use this field to determine what type of supply order LN must create when you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient.

Note

If the item type is Manufactured or Generic, the supply source can be Job Shop or Assembly.

If the item type is Engineering Module, the supply source is Assembly and cannot be changed.

If the item type is Purchased, the supply source is Purchase and cannot be changed.

Allowed values

Source

BOM Quantity

Defines the number of manufactured items on which the item's bill of material is based. The BOM Quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components.

Scrap Percentage

Scrap can be defined as a percentage or as a fixed quantity.

If scrap is defined as a percentage it is called the scrap factor. It is defined with the following formula:

Gross requirement = (scrap factor/100% + 1) * net quantity

Related topics

Scrap Quantity

The quantity used to anticipate the fixed loss of quantity in the manufacturing process of a product.

A fixed quantity scrap is characterized by means of the following formula:

Gross requirement = net quantity + scrap quantity

Specify Warehouse in BOM

If this check box is selected, for an item used as a component in the bill of material, you must specify the warehouse for this component item on the BOM line in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) details session.

If this check box is cleared, specifying the warehouse for the component on the BOM line is optional. If you do no specify a warehouse on the BOM line, the warehouse specified in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session is used for the production order material line.

Phantom

If this check box is selected, this item is a phantom.

You can overrule the setting of this check box in the Phantom check box in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

Use Phantom Inventory

If this check box is selected, LN checks if any phantom inventory is available.

If the phantom item is available in inventory, and the quantity is sufficient, this inventory is used as component in the production order.

If no phantom inventory is available, or the quantity is insufficient, the inventory is not used. LN treats the component as a normal phantom item, so the phantom is exploded for the total quantity.

Note

The phantom stock is used in the Job Shop Control (JSC) module, but is ignored in Enterprise Planning.

Turn Operation 0 into First of

If a material of a phantom item is not linked to a specific operation, this field determines the moment on which that material must be issued.

Note

This field is only relevant in case the operations of the production order partly originate from the routing of the phantom items.

For a material's operated item, see the Operated Item field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Performance aspects

For performance reasons, it is recommended to set this field to Order. For more information, refer to Material for multiple operations.

Order Lead Time

The production time of an item expressed in hours or days, based on the lead time elements as defined in the routing operations.

The order lead time is determined when clicking Update Order Lead Time in this session.

Select Hours or Days as the time unit in which you want to express the order lead time.

Routing Unit

Quantity of the manufactured item on which the routing is based. This unit enables you to include very short operation times in the routing of an item.

Quantity-dependent Routing

If this check box is selected, LN selects a particular routing by default. The selection depends on the order quantity.

This means that the order quantity of an item affects the:

  • Operation times
  • Work centers
  • Machines
  • Other routing-related data
Derived from Item

The item from which the current item, in the Item field, is derived.

If a standard item is copied to a customized item using the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) session, LN displays the standard item code in the customized item's Derived from Item field.

Backflush Materials

If this check box is selected, you can backflush the material that is required to produce the item.

Serialized items

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.

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) or 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

Backflush if Material

If this check box is selected, the item is backflushed when it is used as a component in the product structure of another item.

Serialized items

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.

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.

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 job shop. If the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically.

Direct Proc Wh Order Line

If this check box is selected, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after materials have been unblocked in the warehouse.

If this check box is cleared, and you unblock warehouse order lines using the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, the quantity to issue is added to the To Issue by Warehousing field in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) details session. You must manually carry out the remainder of the warehousing procedure.

If you use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, warehouse order lines for the materials to issue are unblocked. You can also select the Direct Initiate Inventory Issue check box for the materials. In that case, warehouse order lines are automatically unblocked during production order release.

Note

If the current item must be a low volume serialized item, this check box must be cleared.

Receipt Inspection

If this check box is selected, and the item produced is the end item, an inspection on the item must be performed when the item is received in the warehouse.

Outbound Inspection

If this check box is selected, material is inspected when issued from a warehouse.

Critical for Inventory

If this check box is selected, you can check the availability of this item if used as material in a production order.

These checks are performed in the following sessions:

Standard To Order Item

The item originates from a standard-to-order (STO) item. The bill of material and the routing are also derived from the original item.

Net Change JSC

If this check box is selected, during the regenerative replanning process, a partial explosion and netting is made. LN only replans the parts of scheduled JSC orders affected by the change in the bill of material and in the routing.

Item Production Text

If this check box is selected, item production text is present.

Subcontracting with Material Flow

If this check box is selected, subcontracting with material flow is used to produce this item.

If this check box is cleared, subcontracting without material flow is used to produce this item.

Note

This check box is shown only if the Subcontracting with Material Flow check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

If the default supply source of the item is Assembly, this check box is unavailable.

Job Shop BOM
Customized

If this check box is selected, a standard item is configured or customized. The customized item either references a product variant, or has a project code as part of the item code in case of standard-to-order (STO)/ engineered-to-order customization. The check box is selected automatically for the following configurations:

Job Shop Production Schedules

RPT (repetitive) item.

The item is an RPT (repetitive) item if:

  • It is produced in relatively large quantities.
  • It is subject to repetitive demand.
  • The production is based on a rate.
  • The production is controlled through schedules.
  • The lead time is relatively short.

Anonymous items as well as to-order items can be repetitive. However, only to-order items that are Standard-to-Order can be used in RPT schedules. You cannot use generic items or Engineer-to-Order items in an RPT schedule.

Schedule Code

A repetitive item is produced in large quantities and is subject to repetitive demand. The production of repetitive items is handled by schedules that have a schedule code.

Note

The schedule code is mandatory. Define schedule codes in the details session.

Rate Percentage for Enterprise Planning

The percentage that indicates the productivity of a work center on an assembly line. A work center cannot be fully productive, for instance, if the people on the assembly line are not present.

The rate factor for planning the estimated production rate per routing or a specific work center is calculated using this value. After the production rate is calculated for all operations, the operation with the lowest production rate is identified and the corresponding work center is the bottleneck work center.

This value is used to indicate how many units of a repetitive item must be planned for one planned production order in Enterprise Planning. For quantity that exceeds the original planned production order, a new planned production order is generated on the same date as the original.

Example

Assume the rate of the work center is 80 pieces, and you receive a demand (such as a sales order) for 100 pieces. Enterprise Planning generates a planned purchase order for 80 pieces, and a second planned purchase order for 20 pieces, both with the same finish date.

Note

The rate percentage for planning must be greater than zero.
