Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000)

Use this session to control material and end items that are sent from the warehouse to the job shop, and back. In this session, you can issue, return, or cancel items in a detailed way, which is especially important in case of serialized items or lot controlled items. Every material or end item transaction that results in a warehouse order is reflected by a production warehouse order in this session.

You can select in the View menu which production warehouse orders you want to view:

  • The production warehouse orders for the End Item.
  • The production warehouse orders for the Material, which are sorted by material position number.

Detailed control of warehouse handling

In this session, the detailed warehouse handling of material and end items enables you to:

  • Make a difference between canceling a quantity that is still in the warehouse, and returning a redundant quantity from the job shop to the warehouse.
  • Return a specific lot code or serial number to the warehouse. This is useful if multiple lots or serial numbers are in the warehouse for a specific material or production order.
  • Specify different planned issue dates or receipt dates for a material or a production order. The planned inventory transactions reflect the different dates. Consequently, the MRP planning results in a more accurate material planning.
  • Restart automatic processing, if you use automatic processing of warehouse orders (the Direct Proc Wh Order Line check box is selected), and previous automatic processing was not successful, for example, due to a shortage.
  • Select a different warehouse procedure when using return orders.

How to use this session

In the Material view, you can issue, cancel, or return material quantities in the session's heading as well as in the lines, for a specific production warehouse order.

Handling quantities in the header

If you want to issue material from the warehouse, carry out the following steps:

  1. Type the quantity that you want to issue in the header in the To Issue field.
  2. In the appropriate menu, click Process. If you typed a quantity in the To Issue field that is less than the ordered quantity, a new production warehouse order can be created.
  3. To continue the material handling process, select the appropriate production warehouse order, and choose the next action in the procedure in the appropriate menu, for example, Initiate Inventory Issue.

If you want to return or cancel a material quantity, you must also enter the quantity in respectively the To Return field or the To Cancel field in the header, and then click Process in the appropriate menu.

Handling quantities in the lines

When you are dealing with serialized or lot-controlled items, you must handle your material in a more detailed way. You can choose, for example, to sent an item with a specific serial number back from the job shop to the warehouse. Therefore, you must double-click the appropriate warehouse production order, so that the details session is started. In the details session, you can indicate the serial number of the item that you want to return.

Multiple production warehouse orders

In the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session, production warehouse orders are listed for a specific production order. A production warehouse order can relate to:

  • A planned inventory transaction in the Order - Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1501m000) session.
  • If the production order is at least released: A warehouse order line in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session and the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.

The following sections provide examples of multiple production warehouse orders, for example in case of subsequent deliveries or unit effective items.

To issue - Subsequent delivery

There are two production orders, one for issue and one for subsequent delivery. These two production warehouse orders initially have the same allocation date, but you can change the allocation date manually in the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session.

Order distribution

An order distribution as defined in the Production Order Distribution (tisfc0105m000) session can result in multiple production warehouse orders. This is the case if the end item or material is defined as Lot Controlled in the Items (tcibd0501m000) details session, and the Lots in Inventory check box is selected in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. One production warehouse order is generated for every involved effectivity unit.

If the end item or material is not Lot Controlled, the full quantity of the production order or material is recorded for effectivity unit 0 (zero), so in that case only one production warehouse order is present.

If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared in the Items (tcibd0501m000) details session, also only one production warehouse order is present.

Note: 

If you want to control warehouse handling of material and end items in a less detailed way, you can use the following sessions:

  • Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100)
  • Report Orders Completed (tisfc0120s000)

Order Status

production order status

Allowed values

Created

The initial status of a production order. All production order data can still be changed. Materials are not issued yet. Materials can be added or removed, and quantities can be changed.

Modify

The production order may be modified in the same way as with the Created status. If the Version Control check box is selected, this status is assigned to a newly created version of a production order. It is possible to adjust estimates for this production order. The already registered actuals are saved with the new version number on the production order.

Note: You must print the production order documents and release the production order once you have made the necessary changes. Once the new production order is printed, or released the estimated costs are frozen again.
Scheduled

The production order receives this status after being scheduled in Infor SCM Scheduler . This status is only applicable if Infor SCM Scheduler is Active.

Printed

The documents for the production order were printed. If the Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is selected in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session, the production order cannot be released before the order documents are printed. The Printing Production Order Documents Mandatory check box is not valid for repetitive items, because printing order documents is never mandatory for repetitive items. For a description of the types of order documents, see Contents of order documents.

Note: Once the production order documents are printed, estimates for the order can no longer be adjusted.
Released

If a production order is released for production, materials are issued to the job shop for production, and hours can be posted. You can still perform the following:

  • Adjust planning data
  • Change the estimated materials and estimated operation costs as long as the cost estimates are not frozen.

Production orders can be released in the Release Production Orders (tisfc0204m000) session.

Active

Work on the production order has started. The order status becomes Active when any WIP transaction takes place for the production order. If the production order status is Active, hours are posted and materials are issued. The estimated costs cannot be changed .

Production Completed

The order is reported as completed. When Warehousing finishes the inbound procedure for produced items that must be delivered into inventory, the production receives the Completed status.

Completed

The order is reported as completed and all completed products were delivered into inventory. You can still account hours and issue materials for the production order. You can report an order as completed in these sessions:

  • Report Orders Completed (tisfc0520m000)

    Use this session to report one or more orders, partly or entirely, as completed.
  • Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000)

    Use this session to report the final operation of an order as completed.
  • Report Operations Complete by Order Group (tisfc0205m000)

    Use this session to report orders as completed by order group.
  • Report Production Schedules Completed (tirpt1201m000) and Report Production Orders Completed from Production Schedule (tirpt1502m000)

    Use these sessions to report production orders in production schedules as complete for RPT items.
Closed

The financial results of the production order have been calculated. Before a production order is closed, all materials for the order must have been issued and all hours must have been accounted. Purchase orders for subcontracted operations must have been processed. After an order has been closed, materials can no longer be issued nor can hours be accounted unless the order status is reset. You can close production orders with the Close Production Orders (ticst0201m000) session.

Archived

The production order data was moved to the archive. For more information, refer to Archiving production orders.

Action
To Issue

The material quantity that is issued from the warehouse to the job shop.

Subsequent Delivery

The material quantity that will be issued at a future date or time.

To Cancel

If the Blocked check box is cleared, you cannot manually change the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field anymore to cancel a specific quantity to be issued from the warehouse. Instead, you must cancel the quantity by carrying out the steps that are described below.

Note: 
  • You can only cancel an item quantity if the item is used as a material. You cannot cancel a quantity of end items in this session.
  • You can only cancel a material quantity if the warehouse order status is not yet Shipped. Furthermore, the actual quantity that is already issued must be less than the ordered quantity.
  1. Enter the quantity that you want to cancel in the To Cancel field in the header , or in the Quantity to Cancel field for a specific production warehouse order. For example, if the ordered quantity for a specific material is 8, but you need only 6, you must enter 2 in the To Cancel field.

    If a material distribution is present, you must cancel the quantity on the appropriate production warehouse orders. If there is no material distribution, you can cancel the quantity in the To Cancel in the header.

  2. In the appropriate menu, click Process. The ordered quantity is corrected in Warehousing . Whether the corrected ordered quantity is displayed in this session depends on how far the warehouse outbound procedure has already progressed:
    • If the warehouse outbound procedure has not started yet, or is in an early stage, the ordered quantity of the appropriate production warehouse order is adjusted: The quantity that you typed in the To Cancel field is subtracted from the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field, and the To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero).
    • If the warehouse outbound procedure is already too advanced, the Quantity Ordered for the production warehouse order is not adjusted anymore. However, the canceled quantity is displayed in the Quantity Canceled field so that warehouse employees know that this quantity does not need to be picked in the warehouse. The To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero).
Note: If the Blocked is selected, you can manually change the ordered quantity, directly in the Quantity Ordered field. You do not need to carry out the canceling procedure described above.
To Return

The number of items that you want to return from the job shop to the warehouse, or the number of end items that you want to recall from the warehouse to the job shop. After entering the return quantity, click Create Return in the appropriate menu to start the return process.

If the Multiple Lots check box and/or the Multiple Serials check box is selected, you must specify lot number(s) and/or serial number(s) to indicate which lot or serialized item must be returned to the warehouse. Start the details session of a specific production warehouse order to do so.

You can only use this field if no material distribution is present for the item. If a material distribution is present, you must use the Return Quantity field in the details session of a specific production warehouse order.

For more information, refer to the Return Quantity field in the details session.
