| | Remove Used Up Materials from Alternative Materials (tibom0252m000)Use this session to to remove the use-up materials from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session, if you used up (almost)
all of the use-up material's inventory. The session looks for alternative materials of which the Alternative Priority field in the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session is Use up. If
the inventory of this material is zero (and no supply orders are present for
the item), LN removes the
item from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session. This action is limited to items for which the Planner field in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session names a planner that is part of the range of shop floor planners that you entered. Minimum quantity You cannot always reduce the inventory exactly to zero.
Sometimes, you want to keep a small quantity of the use-up material, for
research, documentation, or use as spare parts. You can use the Minimum Quantity for that purpose. If the use-up material's remaining inventory is less than the
value you specified in the Minimum Quantity field, LN ignores the remaining
inventory and also removes the item from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session. If you want to ensure that the last remaining quantity of an
outdated item is kept as spare part, you must change the item's warehouse to a
warehouse that is not included in Enterprise Planning. The Warehouse field in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session displays an item's warehouse. The Include in Enterprise Planning check box in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session determines whether the warehouse is included
in Enterprise Planning. Item From The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not
retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to
customers. The examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Shop Floor Planner The person responsible for printing, (re)scheduling and
releasing production orders and managing workloads. Minimum Quantity If the item's inventory is less than or equal to this minimum
quantity, LN ignores the
remaining inventory and removes the use-up material anyway. Check Planned Orders If this check box is selected, LN checks for planned orders for the material. If LN finds planned orders,
the alternative material is not yet removed. If this check box is cleared, LN does not take planned orders into account. Simulate If this check box is selected, LN does not actually
remove anything. LN just
simulates the process and prints a report that states which materials must be
removed. | |
