Origin of production orders

In the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session, you can manually define production orders. However, production orders generally originate from one of these packages :

  • Enterprise Planning
  • Warehousing

Orders generated in Enterprise Planning and Warehousing are transferred to the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session in Manufacturing. This session also allows you to manually enter production orders.

Production orders from Enterprise Planning

Items with the order system Created are processed in the Order Planning module of Enterprise Planning. The item's Customized check box in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session defines the way Enterprise Planning handles the planning.

  • If No is selected in the Customized field, Enterprise Planning creates planned production orders based on forecast. Planned production orders are generated in the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session. You can also manually enter planned production orders in the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session.
  • If Yes is selected in the Customized field, the item is a customized item. Enterprise Planning can plan the requirements for these item types. Planned production orders are generated based on the customer orders that you enter in Sales.

You can transfer the planned production orders to the Job Shop Control module in the Transfer Order Planning (cppat1210m000) session in the Plan Transfer module of Enterprise Planning. In this session, you can also transfer production plans to the Job Shop Control module. LN converts these plans into planned production orders before they are transferred.

Production orders from Warehouse Management

Items with order system statistical inventory control ( SIC) are processed in Warehousing. You can use the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session to generate production-order advices.

However, the item's supply system defined in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session also determines how production orders are generated in Warehousing:

  • If the supply system is Kanban, you must use the Generate Orders (Kanban) (whinh2200m000) session.
  • If the supply system is Time-Phased Order Point, you must use the Generate Orders (TPOP) (whinh2201m000) session.

Use the Transfer Production Order Advice (whina3202m000) session to transfer production order advices with status Confirmed to the Job Shop Control module.
