Task Relationships (tirou0104m000)
A task can be performed on many work centers and on many machines. Use this session to indicate which task is performed on a specific work center, and the machine that is used to carry out the task.
Field Information
- Task
-
The task that is linked to one or more work center(s).
You can only link Production tasks to a work center.
- Work Center
-
The work center on which the task is performed.
- Machine
-
The machine that is linked to the task.
- Task Relationship Description
-
Use this field to give a description to the task relationship.
- Search Key
-
The search key enables you to quickly retrieve work centers in a number of sessions.
By default, LN displays 16 characters of the task description. These can be replaced by another text if desired.
- Operation Rate Code
-
The operation rate code that is linked to the task relationship and serves as the task relationship rate.
The operation rate code must be predefined in the Operation Rate Codes (ticpr0150m000) session.
Operation rate codes can only be entered if the following applies:
- The Type of Operation Rates parameter in the Standard Cost Calculation Parameters (ticpr0100m000) session is Task Relationship Rate.
- The work center is not a subcontracting work center.
- Subcontracting Rate Factor
-
The subcontracting rate factor, together with the subcontracting base rate, determines the subcontracting costs.
The value of this field depends on the Rate Base field in the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session. If this field is Operation Rate, the following construction is possible. You can depart from a base rate for subcontracting and further specify a base rate for each operation line.
Example:
- Subcontracting rate is 100
- Subcontracting rate factor is 2
- Then total cost of subcontracting is 200
- Routing Quantity
- Machine Occupation
-
The number of machines required to perform the operation.
You can enter this field when you defined a machine for the selected work center in the Tasks (Reference Operations) (tirou0103m000) session.
- Average Setup Time
-
The average setup time that applies to this specific task/work center relationship.
- Man Occupation for Setup
-
The number of persons required to accomplish the operation's setup.
Enter the number of persons required to accomplish the operation in the Man Occupation for Production field.
- Production Rate
-
The number of units for which the task can be performed per unit of time. The Production Rate Time Unit field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session determines whether the time unit is Hour or Minute.
If you have defined norm time tables, you can zoom to the Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000) session to calculate the production rate.
Note: If the Use Production Rates check box in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is cleared, you cannot enter this field. - /
-
The time unit in which the production rate is expressed.
- Cycle Time
-
The cycle time that applies to this specific task/work center relationship. The cycle time is used, for example, to calculate cost prices, and to calculate order lead times.
In the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) details session, you can zoom to the Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000) session to calculate the cycle time. The total operation time depends on the order quantity.
- Fixed Duration
-
If this check box is selected, the duration of an operation is fixed, and its production time does not depend on the batch size.
Production time = setup time + (1 * cycle time) - Backflushing
-
If this check box is selected, the material and spent production hours are backflushed after the task is performed.
Serialized items
Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Lot 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 Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session.
- Count Point
- Transfer Batch Less Than Production Batch
-
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 Quantity 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 Quantity field. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage.
- Transfer Batch Quantity
-
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.
- Man Occupation for Production
-
The number of persons required to accomplish the operation.
Enter the number of persons required to accomplish the operation's setup in the Man Occupation for Setup field.
- Extra Information
-
Use this field to enter any additional information.
