| | Processing production ordersWhen a new production
order is transferred to the Job Shop Control module or created manually, LN executes the following
actions: - The relevant data from the Bill of Material, Routing, and Tools Requirement Planning modules is retrieved. If the materials include a phantom item, the materials
and operations of that item are also retrieved.
- The material costs are estimated. In the calculation of the
required material quantities, the scrap and yield factors are taken into
account. If it concerns a rework order or a production
order for an item with item type Purchased, the materials
estimate is filled with the item itself.
- The hours that are needed for each operation are estimated,
based on the routing of the item. Operations of phantom items are also taken
into consideration. Exception: if it concerns a rework order or a production
order for a purchased item, the hours are not estimated. In that case the hours
must be entered manually.
Note If the Moment Freezing Estimates field has the value During Creating Order, the estimated order costs are frozen immediately, and
the estimated end item unit costs are calculated. - The tools requirements are calculated.
- The production orders are planned. This implies that the start
and finish dates and times of the operations are set, except for rework orders.
- If a production order has no operations, the order lead time defined for
the manufactured item is used to plan the production order.
- Capacity utilization of work centers is determined, but not
for rework orders.
- The planned inventory transactions in Warehousing are updated: allocations for materials
and planned receipts for products are recorded.
- The calculation of the planned receipt date for the end product
is described in the To determine on order dates topic.
- Order-specific inspection data are generated in Quality Management.
- A workflow instance is created.
