Production Order

The production order number.

Allowed values

The production order must have been defined in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session.

In this session, you can only maintain the production planning of the orders with one of the following statuses:

  • Planned
  • Documents Printed
  • Released
  • Active
Order Status

The order status of the production order.

Allowed values

Order Status

Planning Method

If the Planning Method field is Forward, the delivery date is planned forward based on the Production Start field.

If the Planning Method field is Backward, the production start date is planned backward based on the Planned Delivery field.

You can only alter this field for:

  • Manually-entered orders
  • Orders transferred from the Warehousing package.
Item

The main item of the production order.

If the bill of material (BOM) of the main item does not contain phantoms, the main item is the same item as the item in the Operated Item field.

Production Start Date and Time

The date and time on which the order is planned to be taken into production. The Production Start field is filled during production order creation. If the production planning changes, this date can be automatically updated.

The start date of the order can be copied from the planned orders generated in the modules:

  • Warehouse Orders
  • Inventory Planning
  • Order Planning

Forward planning If the planning method field has the value Forward, the production start date can be used to calculate the delivery date.

Backward planning If the planning method field has the value Backward, the production start date can be derived from the delivery date and the order lead time of the item. The production start date is then calculated as follows: Production start date = delivery date - order lead time of item This formula is used in the following situations:

  • When you manually enter a production order
  • When you click the Plan button to recalculate the production start date
  • When a production order for an item of type Manufactured or Product has no routing and is transferred to the Job Shop Control module.
Planned Delivery Date

The delivery date and time of the production order.

Allowed values

If the item is an RPT item a schedule period must have been defined for the delivery date. Schedule periods can be defined in the Calendars and Periods module and must be linked to a schedule in the Repetitive Manufacturing module.

The delivery date of the order is copied from the planned orders generated in the modules:

  • Inventory Planning
  • Order Planning

Forward planning If the planning method field has the value Forward, the delivery date can be derived from the start date and the order lead time of the item. The delivery date is then calculated as follows: Production start date = delivery date + order lead time of item This formula is used in the following situations:

  • When you manually enter a production order
  • When you click the Plan button to recalculate the production start date
  • When a production order for an item of type Manufactured or Product has no routing and is transferred to the Job Shop Control module.
Requested Delivery Date

The date that the customer has requested for the production order.

  • If the planning method is Forward, the Requested Delivery Date equals the Planned Delivery Date of the moment the production order is generated.
  • If the planning method is Backward, the Requested Delivery Date is the starting point for planning.
Operation

The sequence number of the operation, which is used for the production of the manufactured subassembly or finished product, and which you are planning in this session.

Operation Status

The current status of the operation which you are planning in this session.

Allowed values

Possible values

Start Operation

If this check box is selected, there are no operations before this operation.

Related topics

Blocking Reason

If the operation has been blocked, the reason for blocking.

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 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.

Initial Hidden
Overlap

View the percentage of overlap in the planning.

Subcontracting Document

The type of document that is linked to the subcontracting operation.

Subassembly Warehouse

The warehouse from which the subassembly is sent or in which the subassembly is received.

Reason for Rejects

The reason for the rejection. Use a reason with reason type Rejection of Production Result.

To define the reasons for rejection, use the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session.

Planning Related
Next Operation

The operation after the current operation. If this field is 0 (zero), this operation is the end operation.

Related topics

Task

The task that is performed in the operation.

If anything is reported on the operation, you cannot change the task anymore.

Work Center

The work center in which the operation is carried out.

Note

You can only change the work center if the operation has one of the following statuses:

  • Planned
  • Ready to Start
  • You cannot change the work center if some quantities have already been reported completed.
  • You cannot change another type of work station into a line station or buffer.
  • You can only change a subcontracting work station if no purchase orders were generated or if already generated purchase orders can be deleted or canceled.
Machine

The machine on which the operation is performed.

Default value

The default for this field is the Machine field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

This field is irrelevant in the case of a non-machine task.

You can modify this field. If, for example, the machine is overloaded or must be repaired, it may be necessary to move the operation to another machine.

Lead Times and Start Date
Start Date
Transport Date To

The date on which the item is transferred from the sending warehouse of the previous operation.

Note

This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support.

Queue Start Date

The queue time of the current operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Click the Automated Queue Time Compression option on the appropriate menu of the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session to start the session which you can use to reduce the planned queue time.

Setup+Run Start Date

The date and time on which LN plans to start the production time.

If you alter the date and/or time of the Remainder Start Date field, LN recalculates the value of the Setup+Run Start Date field.

The start date of the operation is copied from planned production orders, which are generated in Enterprise Planning, when the orders are transferred from Enterprise Planning to Job Shop Control.

If the production order is transferred from the session in Production Order Advice (whina3100m000) in Warehousing, LN copies the start date of the operation from that session.

When you manually enter an order in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) session, LN calculates the value of the Setup+Run Start Date field using the lead-time elements of the operation that you specified in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Remainder

The date you want to start the operation, or if the operation has already been started, the date when you want to resume the operation. If you selected the Fixed Planning Dates check box, you can use this field to change the date you plan to start or resume an operation.

You can choose whether LN uses the remaining order quantity or, the hours spent to calculate how much work has been carried out, by changing the Calculation Method Remaining Production Time field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.

Wait

The date and time on which the setup and run time of the operation are planned to finish, and the wait time is planned to start for the production order.

Note

The wait start date is calculated in the Job Shop Control module.

Move

The date and time on which the wait time is planned to finish, and the move time is planned to start.

Transport Date From

Date on which the item is transferred from the receiving warehouse, that is, the warehouse of the subcontracting work center.

This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support.

Transport Date To (Next Operation)

Date on which the item is transferred from the sending warehouse of the current operation.

This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support.

Queue Start(Next Operation) or Planned Delivery Date

If this operation is followed by other operations, this field displays the Queue Start(Next Operation) field. If this operation is the last operation, this field displays the Planned Delivery Date field.

These fields are defined as follows

  • Queue Start(Next Operation)
    The date and time on which the queue time of the next operation is planned to start. If the item is not sent to and from a subcontractor, this date and time equals the moment on which the move time of the operation is planned to end.
  • Planned Delivery Date
    The date when you plan to deliver the item produced by the production order. For more information, see To determine on order dates.
SU+Run (Next Oper.) or Requested Delivery Date

If this operation is followed by other operations, this field displays the SU+Run (Next Oper.) field. If this operation is the last operation, this field displays the Requested Delivery Date field.

These fields are defined as follows

  • SU+Run (Next Oper.)

    The date and time on which the queue time of the next operation is planned to finish, and the setup and run time of the next operation is planned to start.

    If you selected the Use Transfer Batch check box, and defined a batch quantity in the Transfer Batch Qty field for the first operation, the next operation can start before the first operation finished. In this case, the date and time in the SU+Run (Next Oper.) field of the first operation is equal to time and date in the Queue Start(Next Operation) field.

  • Requested Delivery Date

    The date that the customer has requested the production order.

    If a production order, originating from a sales order, is transferred from Enterprise Planning, the requested delivery date equals the sales order delivery date minus the warehouse inbound, warehouse outbound, safety time and extra lead time. These four lead times cause a difference between the sales order delivery date and the planned delivery date.

    For more information, see To determine on order dates.

Fixed Duration

If this check box is selected, the operation has a fixed duration, and its production time does not depend on the batch size.

If an operation has a fixed duration, LN applies the following formula to calculate the run time:

run time = cycle time

If this check box is cleared, the formula that LN uses to calculate the run time is as follows:

run time = (cycle time * quantity planned input) / routing quantity
Use Transfer Batch

The quantity or percentage of items for which an operation must be finished before you can start with the next operation. Even though an operation is not yet finished for all items in a production order, you can start the next operation for the items that are already finished.

In a production environment where kanban is used, the transfer batch quantity equals the kanban size (which is the standard container, or the standard lot size).

The transfer batch quantity replaces the previously used concept of overlap percentage on operation.

If this check box is selected, you can start the next operation before the complete production batch is finished. You must enter a value in the Transfer Batch Qty field, which indicates when the next operation can be started. If this check box is cleared, the next operation starts when the complete production batch is finished.

If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, you must type a quantity in the Transfer Batch Qty field. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage.

Transfer Batch Qty

Enter a transfer batch quantity, if you selected the Use Transfer Batch check box.

If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, you must type a quantity. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage.

Fixed Planning Dates

If this check box is selected, LN uses fixed planning dates, and the operation cannot be shifted due to changes in other operations.

Select the Shift Planning option on the appropriate menu to start the Shift Production Planning (tisfc1202m000) session, which you can use to plan the operation to another date.

Late

Indicator that displays whether the move start date of the operation falls after the requested delivery date of the production order.

Lead Times
Time Unit

The time unit in which the queue time is expressed.

Allowed values

  • Hours
    Lead times are expressed in hours and fractional values are allowed.
  • Days
    Lead times are expressed in days and fractional values will be rounded to integer values.
Transport Time To

The time required to transport the subassembly from the sending warehouse to the warehouse at the subcontractor. In the manufacturer's system, the warehouse at the subcontractor is defined as an external warehouse.

This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support.

Default value

The default value is calculated in Freight based on the addresses of the warehouses.

Note

If the first operation of the routing is subcontracted, this field is zero, because in that case no subassembly is transported from the manufacturer to the subcontractor.

Queue Time

The queue time of the operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Click the Automated Queue Time Compression option on the appropriate menu of the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session to start the session which you can use to reduce the planned queue time.

Related topics

Fixed Setup Time (SCS)

The sequence independent time required to set up or change over a machine in order to start running the machine.

The fixed setup time is only used when Infor SCM Scheduler and Infor SCM Planner are installed.

Average Setup Time

The average setup time of the operation.

Note

If Labor Resources for Setup (FTE) = 0 and Average Setup Time > 0, the following applies:

  • The machine hours' required capacity calculated for the order operation is not impacted and includes setup time.
  • The setup time is not included in the man hours' required capacity for the order operation and the required man hours for the work center. This affects the man hours displayed on the work center utilization reports and the resource order plan.
  • The setup time is not included in the estimated man hours and is not included in the calculation of operation costs for man capacity work centers.
  • The setup time is used in calculating operation schedules.
Production Rate

The production rate of the number of products produced per unit of time.

You can use a different production rate for different orders.

  • If you change the value of this field, LN changes the value of production time. That means that you can use this field as an alternative way of entering the operation production time.
  • If you click the Calculate Production Rate option on the appropriate menu, LN calculates the production rate, using the cycle time of the operation. This is only possible if the Use Production Rates check box in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is selected.
Note

Whether the production rate is expressed in hours or minutes is shown in the next field. You can alter that in the Production Rate Time Unit field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session.

Production Rate Time Unit

The time units in which the production rate is expressed.

You can define this parameter in the Production Rate Time Unit field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session.

Cycle Time (min)

The cycle time of the operation.

LN uses the cycle time to calculate the run time and the production time.

Routing Unit

The routing unit of the operation.

Routing Unit

The inventory unit in which the completed quantity of semi-finished products is expressed.

Production Time

The total production time required to carry out the operation.

Remaining Production Time

The remaining production lead time required to finish the operation.

Wait Time

The wait time of the operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session, expressed in the time unit you specified in that same session.

The move time as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session, expressed in the time unit you specified in that same session.

Transport Time From

Lead time of transport of the subassembly from the warehouse at the subcontractor to the receiving warehouse. In the manufacturer's system, the warehouse at the subcontractor is defined as an external warehouse.

This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support.

Default value

The default value is calculated in Freight based on the addresses of the warehouses and work centers.

Slack Time

The slack time of the current operation.

Selecting the Use Transfer Batch check box, and specifying a quantity in the Transfer Batch Quantity field results in less slack time than the queue time of the next operation, or in a slack time value of zero.

For all the options you can select in the Moving Method Next Operations field, except for the Move All Operations option, LN can move the slack time. If you set the field to When Overlap Occurs, the slack time can become longer if you move an operation to an earlier point in time. In this situation, LN does not touch the next operation, and, as a result the slack time on the moved operation increases.

You can compress the slack of all the operations of an order automatically by reducing queue times. Refer to Queue time compression compression.

Capacity / Subcontracting
Capacity Data
Labor Resources for Setup (FTE)

The number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation's setup. You must enter the number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation in the Man Occupation for Production field.

Note

If Labor Resources for Setup (FTE) = 0 and Average Setup Time > 0, the following applies:

  • The machine hours' required capacity calculated for the order operation is not impacted and includes setup time.
  • The setup time is not included in the man hours' required capacity for the order operation and the required man hours for the work center. This affects the man hours displayed on the work center utilization reports and the resource order plan.
  • The setup time is not included in the estimated man hours and is not included in the calculation of operation costs for man capacity work centers.
  • The setup time is used in calculating operation schedules.
LabourHours

The man hours required to carry out the operation.

Labor Resources for Production (FTE)

The number of persons that is needed to carry out the run time part of the production time. For more information about changing this field, refer to Production Planning (tisfc0110m000).

In the Man Occupation for Setup field, you must enter the number of persons needed to accomplish the operation's setup.

Machine Hours

The machine hours required to carry out the operation.

Machine Occupation

The number of machines that required to perform the operation. For more information about changing this field, refer to Production Planning (tisfc0110m000).

Spent Production Time

The total number of man hours and machine hours booked on an operation until the current moment. The time is updated to the operation by People.

If you selected the Backflush Hours check box, LN posts the hours automatically. If you use the Hours and Expenses by Employee Overview (bptmm1100m000) session, the hours are posted to the order/operation by that same session.

Subcontracting
Subcontractor

The subcontractor where the work takes place if the operation occurs in a subcontracting work center.

Note

LN treats subcontractors as buy-from business partners.

Purchase Document

The purchase document number that corresponds to the subcontracting order.

Subcontracting Rate Factor

LN uses this field and the subcontracting rate to calculate subcontracting costs. You can define the subcontracting rate in the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session.

This field only applies if you selected the Operation Rate option in the Rate Base field of the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session for calculation of the subcontracting costs.

Qty Returned from Subcontracting

The quantity received on the basis of a subcontracting order.

Subassembly

An intermediary product in a production process that is not stored or sold as an end product, but that is passed on to the next operation.

For subcontracting purposes, a manufacturer can send a subassembly to a subcontractor to carry out work on the subassembly. This subassembly has its own item code defined in the Item Base Data.

After work is finished, the subcontractor sends the subassembly back to the manufacturer. Also this reworked subassembly has its own item code defined in the Item Base Data.

Quantity
Planned Quantities
Yield Type

The yield type of the operation.

Quantity Planned Input

The quantity planned input planned to start the operation with.

If you alter the scrap or yield values in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session, LN recalculates this field to maintain the quantity planned output.

Inventory Unit Main Item

The inventory unit in which quantities of the main item are expressed.

Yield Percentage

The percentage of yield expected in the operation.

If you decrease the yield, LN increases the quantity planned input to keep the quantity planned output the same.

Related topics

Setup Scrap

The quantity of scrap expected in the operation.

If you increase the scrap, LN increases the quantity planned input to keep the quantity planned output the same.

Related topics

Count Point

If this check box is selected, the operation is a count point.

Default value

The default for this check box is the Count Point check box in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

For each operation it is determined if it is a count point. This is incorporated as a default in the order planning.

You can modify this check box, until the operation has been reported completed.

DMS on Completion

If this check box is selected, direct material supply (DMS) planning will be run when the operation is reported complete.

Actual Quantities
Quantity Completed

The quantity of items reported as completed, or the quantity on which the operation has been performed for the current operation.

LN cannot change the corresponding value if the operation status is Blocked.

Quantity Scrapped

The quantity that does not reach quality standards for this operation.

LN cannot change the corresponding value if the operation status is Blocked.

Quantity Rejects

The quantity that is planned to disappear in the operation as a result of limited yield.

LN needs the quantity of planned rejects when an operation is reported completed, and it automatically calculates the quantity completed.

The quantity of the planned rejects depends on the setting of the Yield Type field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session:

  • If you set the Yield Type field to Discrete, the quantity of the planned rejects is 0 (zero) by default.
  • If you set the Yield Type field to Continuous, LN applies the following formula to calculate the quantity of the planned rejects:
Quantity planned rejects=(quantity completed+quantity rejected+quantity to inspect)*(100/yield percentage-1)+scrap quantity
Planned Scrap Semi-Finished Product

The quantity that is planned to disappear in the operation as a result of limited yield.

LN can only fill this field if the operation is linked to an item defined as a phantom in the bill of material (BOM).

The quantity of total semifinished items includes scrap, reduced yield and rejected items.

LN needs the quantity of planned scrapped semi-finished when an operation linked to a phantom item is reported completed, and it automatically calculates the quantity completed semi-finished.

The quantity of the planned scrapped semi-finished depends on the setting of the Yield Type field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session:

  • If you set the Yield Type field to Discrete, the quantity of the planned scrapped is 0 (zero) by default.
  • If you set the Yield Type field to Continuous, LN applies the following formula to calculate the quantity of the planned scrapped semi-finished:
Quantity planned scrapped semifinished=quantity planned rejects*quantity ratio semifinished

Example

Main item BIKE has two phantom items WHEEL. As a result, the operation to produce the wheels has a quantity ratio semifinished of 2.

In case of a production order of 3 bikes, and a calculated planned rejects of 1 on an operation for WHEEL on this order, the quantity planned scrapped semifinished for the same operation is:

1 * 2 = 2
Quantity of Item by End Item

The ratio of semifinished items to end items produced in this operation.

If you define the operated item as a phantom in the bill of material, LN uses this ratio to convert semifinished item quantities that are reported completed to main item quantities.

Backflushing
Backflush Hours

If this check box is selected, hours are posted automatically when an operation is completed.

The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.

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 in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session 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.

Quantity to Backflush

The quantity of items, whose components and/or hours still have to be backflushed.

If you backflush quantities, they are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.

Quantity Backflushed

The quantity of end products included in the total order quantity for which the components and/or hours have been posted using backflushing.

If you backflush quantities, they are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.

Inspection Data
Quantity to Inspect

The quantity that has been sent for inspection expressed in main item quantities.

Inspection Status

The inspection status from the Order Inspections (qmptc1120m000) session.

Miscellaneous
Physical Location

The actual location at which an operation is executed.

This location is useful information for job shop planners, job shop supervisors, and mechanics in a job shop or cellular manufacturing environment.

Calendar

The calendar that LN uses to plan the current operation.

Actual Calendar

The calendar and availability type combination that is used by the work center manufacturing a production order.

Note
  • If a work center calendar is specified, the actual calendar equals the work center calendar. If no work center calendar is specified, the next applicable calendar is used such as that of the related production department.
  • You can see the level at which the actual calendar is defined in the Origin field.
Operation Text

If this check box is selected, an operation text is present.

You can create an operation text in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.

Costing
Costing Work Center

The costing work center that you linked to the planning work center in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session, and which LN uses for costing purposes.

Related topics

Operation Set

A group of operations carried out in the same costing work center which are grouped together for cost accounting purposes.

Within one operation set no WIP transfer takes place. If you cleared the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) session, operation sets are not applicable.

Container Data
Container

The container in which the semi-finished item is carried to the next operation. You can only specify a container in this field if you selected the KANBAN option in the Supply System field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session for the warehouse in which the operated item is stored.

Containers are pulled to the next work center / operation by labels. You can define containers in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session of Warehousing.
