When you generate input/output control data, the time bucket is one day. The start of the day is 00:00:00 and the end of the day is 23:59:59.

Not Implemented

Input/output control is not implemented and relevant sessions are disabled. This is the default setting.

Week

When you generate input/output control data, the time bucket is one week. The week start day is the company start day.

No. of Periods to Generate I/O Data

The period for which a work center's capacity and input/output values are calculated. Dependent on the value in the Update Method I/O Control field, the period is expressed in days or weeks.

Note: If you selected Not Implemented in the Update Method I/O Control field, you cannot enter a value in this field.

Include Partial Completions (Default)

If this check box is selected, LN also takes into account the routing operations that are reported only partially completed to calculate the input/output values.

If this check box is cleared, LN only takes into account the routing operations that are reported entirely completed to calculate the input/output values.

You can select the Include Partial Completions (Default) check box if work centers are used for orders with extremely long lead times.

The setting of the Include Partial Completions (Default) check box works as a default for the Include Partial Completions (Default) check box in the Generate Work Center Input/Output Control (tisfc3210m000) session and the Generate Machine Input/Output Control Data (tisfc3220m000) session.

Revisions

Engineering Revisions Active

If this check box is selected, you can use revisions of items.

Note: You must also select the Engineering Revisions check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

Combine Warehouse Orders End Item

If you report an end-item quantity as completed, you can choose to receive the end items in the warehouse immediately, or in a later stage. Usually, for every quantity that is received in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is generated. If you receive the end items in the warehouse in a later stage, you can use this check box to combine production warehouse order lines, which limits database growth.

If this check box is selected, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, production warehouse order lines for the completed end-item quantities are combined into one production warehouse order line. As a result, the number of receipt transactions and variance transactions is reduced.

If this check box is cleared, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is created for every completed quantity.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Combine production warehouse order lines.

Copy Routing Text to Production Order

If this check box is selected, the routing text linked to the routing operation in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session is copied to the production order in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session.

• If the check box is selected

  You can edit the routing operation text copied to the production order operation.

• If the check box is cleared

  The routing operation text is linked to the production order operation. The text cannot be edited.

  You can manually add text to operations that have no routing text linked. This text remains editable.

Planning

Automatic Update Production Order Start Date

If this check box is selected, the production order start dates are automatically updated when the start or finish dates of the operations are modified. The production start date of the production order is then equal to the start date and time of the first operation's queue time.

This parameter only applies to the Production Start field.

Max. No. of Queue Time Compression Iterations

The number of times that LN repeats the queue time compression process until the production can be completed within the modified production order dates.

This parameter only applies if you selected the Best Fit method for queue time compression in the Automated Queue Time Compression (tisfc1103s000) session.

The number by which each subsequent operation number is increased when phantom routing operations are added to the main item routing.

Default value

The default is 10.

On Order Date Production Orders based on

-If Finish Date last Operation before order's Requested Delivery Date

The value of this field determines on which date the planned inventory transaction for a production order is based if the production order is expected to be delivered on time.

Note: The order is expected to be on time if the earliest finish date for the latest operation of the production order occurs before the delivery date for the production order.

Allowed values

Requested Order Delivery Date

The date on which the customer has requested delivery. LN equals the latest finish date of the latest operation with the Requested Order Delivery Date.

Planned Order Delivery Date

The (re)planned delivery date of the production order. This date equals the earliest finish date of the latest operation.

-If Finish Date last Operation after order's Requested Delivery Date

The value of this field determines on which date the planned inventory transaction for a production order is based if the production order is expected to be delivered late.

Note: The order is expected to be late if the earliest finish date for the latest operation of the production order occurs after the delivery date for the production order.

Allowed values

Requested Order Delivery Date

The date when the order is created.

Planned Order Delivery Date

The (re)planned delivery date of the production order.

Reporting Complete

Reporting Method for Previous Operations

This parameter determines what happens if you report a quantity as complete for an operation, and the previous operation is not reported as complete yet.

You report orders as complete in the following sessions:

• Report Orders Completed (tisfc0520m000)
• Report Orders Completed Globally (tisfc0206m000)

Allowed values

• Automatic
• Interactive
• None

Quantities Reported on Previous Operations

This parameter determines when completed quantities on operations are reported.

• If Completed and Rejected is selected, both quantities completed and rejected are reported for each previous operation.
• If Completed is selected, the quantity completed will only be updated. The rejected quantity is not updated and must be reported on each individual operation.

Note: Rejected quantities are always reported on the operation. When the option Completed is selected, quantities rejected are frozen when the quantity completed is updated.

Example

Operation setting of Report Product in Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) is set to:

• Automatic for operation 10
• Manual for operation 20

The Quantities Reported on Previous Operations field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is set to Completed.

Quantities reported:

• Rejects individually per operation
• Completed are reported for operation 20 only, this updates the completed for operation 10.

Allowed values

• Completed and Rejected
• Completed

Allow correcting Operations in Report Orders / Reset Status

If this check box is selected, the Uncomplete All Operations and Decrease Quantity Operations commands become available in the Report Orders Completed (tisfc0120s000) session and the Reset Completed Orders to Active Orders command in the Reset Production Order Status (ticst0203m000) session.

Calculation Method Remaining Production Time

This parameter determines how the remaining production time is calculated if the production has already started.

If a production order operation is a fixed duration operation, the remaining production time is always calculated based on time spent, because in that case operation lead times are not calculated by using operation quantities.

Allowed values

Planned Quantity

The remaining production time is based on the quantity of the item that must still be processed.

Time Spent

The remaining production time is based on the original production time minus the hours booked on the production order.

Use Reason Codes for Rejected Items

Allowed values

Optional

If this value is selected giving a reason code at rejection of an item is optional.

Mandatory

If this value is selected giving a reason code at rejection of an item is mandatory.

Never

Default value

The default value is Never.

Adjust Planned Receipt for Scrap

Specify when the planned output of an operation is updated after a quantity of items is scrapped.

Note: If Immediately is selected the planned output quantities are adjusted as soon as output is scrapped. This may cause a higher frequency of changes in the planning.

Allowed values

• Immediately
• At Operation Completed

Post to Inventory when Reporting on Last Operation

The parameter determines whether the main item must be posted to inventory or not, after the last operation is reported as complete.

In the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session the operations are reported as complete.

Materials/Hours

Sorting Method Components

The value of this field determines how the components that are included in the materials estimate from the bill of material (BOM) are sorted in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Note: This sorting order is especially important if you use phantoms.

Allowed values

Item

All components are sorted by item code.

Operation and Item

The components are first sorted by operation (at the highest level) and, subsequently, by item code.

Pos. Highest BOM Level

The components are sorted on the basis of the position numbers from the BOM of the main item.

Own BOM Position

The position numbers from the BOM of the components are used for sorting purposes.

Use of Shop Floor Warehouses

If this check box is selected, materials for production orders are issued from the job shop warehouse of the work center.

If this check box is cleared, materials are issued directly from the warehouse defined in the bill of material.

Manual Issuing

If this check box is selected, the materials must be issued by a manual action. If you select this check box, you will have more control over the timing of the material issues.

Note: The value of this parameter does not affect materials that are issued by backflushing or materials that are held as floor stock.

Issue Material from Shop Floor Wh of Calc Office If No Operation

calculation office.

If materials are not linked to operations because no operations exist for the production order, you must determine from which warehouse the materials are issued:

• The warehouse that is specified in the BOM
• The job shop warehouse that is related to the production order's calculation office.

If this check box is selected, materials are issued from the job shop warehouse that is related to the production order's calculation office. If no job shop warehouse is found, the BOM warehouse is taken.

If this check box is cleared, materials are issued from the warehouse that is specified in the Estimated vs. Actual Material Costs (ticst0501m000) session. The default warehouse for this is usually the one that is maintained in the BOM.

Create Back Order for Warehousing Transfer Orders

If this check box is selected, and insufficient inventory is available to execute the transfer order to transfer materials to the job shop warehouse, LN creates a back order to transfer the materials later. If this check box is cleared, and insufficient inventory is available to execute the transfer order to transfer materials to the job shop warehouse, you must manually initiate the transfer of the remaining material quantity when that material becomes available.

The setting of this check box is the default for the Create Backorders check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session for outbound order lines for transfer orders with order origin JSC Production.

Note: The setting of this check box is not relevant for the issue of materials to the job shop, only for transfer to a job shop warehouse. For warehousing orders with order origin JSC Production and transaction type Issue, LN always creates a back order in case of material shortage, regardless the setting of this parameter.

Move Allocation to Shop Floor Warehouse

If you are using job shop warehouses, the current parameter determines when the materials are moved to the job shop warehouse.

During production order generation, material is allocated from a warehouse:

• If the Use of Shop Floor Warehouses check box is selected, this is a job shop warehouse, and the current parameter applies.
• If the Use of Shop Floor Warehouses check box is cleared, the current parameter does not apply. Material is allocated from the warehouse that is specified in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. The default warehouse for this is usually the one that is maintained in the BOM.

The allocated materials are the components specified in the BOM.

Allowed values

At Planning

• When EP Planned Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on Shop Floor Warehouse

• When Shop Floor Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on Shop Floor Warehouse

At Generation

• When EP Planned Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on BOM Warehouse

• When Shop Floor Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on Shop Floor Warehouse

At Release

• When EP Planned Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on BOM Warehouse

• When Shop Floor Production Order is created

  The allocations are made on BOM Warehouse. They will be transferred to Shop Floor Warehouse at the time of release of production order

Not Applicable

Shop floor warehouses are not in use.

Update Method Allocated and Issued Quantities

When the quantity planned input of an operation is adjusted, this parameter determines what happens to the Net Quantity, To Issue and Subsequent Delivery fields of the materials linked to these operations.

This refers to:

• Material allocations.
• Materials that have already been issued.

Note: 

• The materials quantities that have already been issued are displayed in the Actual Quantity field in the Estimated vs. Actual Material Costs (ticst0501m000) session.
• This parameter only affects materials for quantity-dependent materials.
• This parameter does not affect cost items.

Allowed values

Allocations and Return Bookings

The reduction of the allocation can exceed the sum of the quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field and the quantity in the To Issue field. In this case, the Subsequent Delivery field is set to zero, and the value of the To Issue field becomes negative. The negative quantity in the To Issue field means that this quantity is posted back to inventory. The value of the Actual Quantity field is reduced by the same quantity.

Only Allocations

The allocation of material is reduced. The Subsequent Delivery field and the To Issue field in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) session are reduced by the same quantity. The Subsequent Delivery field and the To Issue field can be reduced to zero but cannot become negative. This condition also limits the reduction of the allocations. Any issued quantities remain unchanged.

Note: While calculating this reduction, the sum of the To Issue field, the Subsequent Delivery field, and the Actual Quantity field is assumed to match the operation's quantity-planned input.

Nothing

The allocations and issued quantities are not affected in any way, not even when the Quantity Ordered field is changed for Created production orders without regenerating the orders ( Update Method in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) details session is No Action or Recalculate).

Automatic Select Alternatives

This field determines at which moments LN checks for use-up materials and alternative materials.

Allowed values

• At Generation

  LN checks for alternatives when a production order is generated.

• At Release

  LN checks for alternatives when you release a production order.

• No Automatic Replacement

  LN does not check for alternatives automatically. You can still manually initiate a check for alternatives.

Note: This functionality is available only if the Alternative Materials check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

Check Material Shortages at Release

If this check box is selected, the Release Production Orders (tisfc0204m000) session offers the option to release only production orders for which no material shortages exist.

Hours Settings

Update Method for Estimated Hours

The way in which the estimated hours are updated when the planning is modified.

Allowed values

Automatic

When the planning is modified, the cost estimate is automatically updated.

Interactive

When the planning is modified, you are asked whether the cost estimate must be updated accordingly.

None

The cost estimate is not changed.

Split Hours in Setup and Production

If this check box is selected, the estimated and actual hours of an operation are split up.

The estimated and actual hours of an operation can be split up in setup time hours and cycle time hours. This results in a setup part and a production part for the estimated and the actual man and machine hours as can be viewed in, for example, Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0502m000) session.

The Split Hours in Setup and Production check box is introduced in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session and the Default Production Order Data (tisfc0102m000) session to determine whether the hours must be split up.

Note: Selecting this check box can impact system performance negatively if the Backflush Hours check box in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is selected.

Costing

General

Financial Transactions by Work Center

If this check box is selected, you can view the production results by work center. The material costs and the hours costs are posted to the work center to which these costs apply.

If this check box is cleared, you can view the production results by production order. The surcharges, as well as the material costs and the hours costs, are posted to the production order's calculation office.

Note: The calculation office currency is also used for production orders that have no operations and work centers, but only materials.

Currencies

When you calculate the estimated costs, and a Dependent currency system is used, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box also determines the currency that is used:

• If this check box is selected, the local currency of the costing work center for which the costs are calculated is used.
• If this check box is cleared, the currency of the calculation office is used.

Estimated end item unit costs

Item-based Costs

The end-item costs are stored for the item's effective cost component structure at the production order's calculation office

Work Center-based Costs

The end-item costs are stored on the detailed cost components per work center. So, if more than one work center is used for a production order, costs are specified for every work center seperately.

Item-based and work center-based end-item unit costs can be viewed in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session.

Financial transactions by work center	Work center based costs	Item based costs
No	1	2
Yes	3	4

1: The total end item unit costs are posted for each work center by detailed cost component. The only work center available is the calculation office. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

2: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

3: The total end item unit costs are posted for a costing work center or a calculation office by detailed cost component. The costs on a work center include operation costs and material costs. The costs on the calculation office include (added) end item surcharges and the costs for unlinked materials. The costs are expressed in the local currency of the costing work center.

4: The total end item unit costs are posted for the calculation office by the item's effective cost component structure. The costs are expressed in the calculation office's currency.

Note: You can view the end item unit costs, work center-based as well as item-based, in the End Item Unit Costs (ticst0510m000) session.

WIP transfers

If the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is cleared, WIP transfers are not calculated. Because the production results are viewed by production order, the costs are posted on the production order's calculation office, and no costs are posted on the work centers. Consequently, there is no need to calculate WIP transfers between different work centers.

Calculating efficiency/price variances

If a production order is closed, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box determines on which level efficiency variances and price variances are calculated. The posting, however, depends on the posting methods that are defined in the following fields:

• Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office
• Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office
• Posting Method Efficiency Variances on Calculation Office
• Posting Method Price Variances to Calculation Office

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Financial transactions by work center.

When a quantity is reported as complete, and the delivering work center is different from the receiving work center, the transfer is performed.

Only upon Completion

When the operation is reported as complete, and the delivering work center is different from the receiving work center, the transfer is performed.

Not Implemented

WIP transfers are never carried out.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Transfer WIP method.

Process Hours using

To process hours for a production order, labor costs are calculated. To calculate the labor cost, either Estimated Operation Rates or Actual Labor Rates are used.

Allowed values

Estimated Operation Rates

To calculate labor costs, the operation rates defined in the Standard Cost Calculation module are used. The operation rates belong to the work center to the which the hours are posted.

Actual Man and Machine Rates

To calculate labor costs, the employee's hourly labor rate and the machine rate are used.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Actual operation rates.

Moment of Completion Posting

The moment when LN posts the financial transactions for the completed quantities to Financials .

This field can have the following values:

• Quantity Completed

  Every time you report a quantity of the main item completed, LN posts the corresponding financial transactions.

• Order Status Completed

  When the production order status is set to Completed, LN posts the corresponding financial transactions.

Note: To limit the number of postings and obtain the best performance, it is recommended to set this field to Order Status Completed, unless you require more frequent posting of transactions.

This field is defaulted to the Moment of Completion Posting field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session. You can change the field in that session for a specific production order until the production order status is set to Released.
