Process Variables by Operation (Step) (tisfc0132m000)

Use this session to display and modify the process variables that are linked to a production order with regard to a specific operation, or with regard to a specific operation/operation step combination.

If the value of the Operation Step field is 0 (zero), the process variables that are displayed are directly linked to the operation.

Note: If you want to display or modify all process variables that are linked to a production order, irrespective of the operation or the operation step, use the Process Variables by Production Order (tisfc0131m000) session.

Field Information

Production Order

production order

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.

Operation

operation

Operation Step

operation step

If the value of this field is 0 (zero), the process variables that are displayed are directly linked to the operation.

Process Variable

process variable

Norm

The objective value of the process variable.

Limit Type

The way in which the process variable's upper control limit and lower control limit is determined.

Note: The target value, the deviation, and the way in which the deviation is determined, is defined in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) details session.

Allowed values

Absolute

The upper and lower deviation of the target value is expressed as an absolute value.

  • Limit

    If the upper limit is expressed as an absolute value, the value is defined to which the process variable's target value can be exceeded.

    For example, if the norm is 30 and the upper limit must not exceed 33, 33 is displayed this field.

  • Percentage

Percentage

The upper and lower deviation of the target value is determined by a percentage.

  • Limit

    If the upper limit is expressed as a percentage, the percentage is defined with which the process variable's target value can be exceeded.

    For example, if the norm is 30 and the upper limit must not exceed 33, 10% is displayed in this field.

  • Percentage

    If the lower limit is expressed as a percentage, the percentage is defined that the process variable's input value can be lower than the norm.

    For example, if the norm is 30, and the lower control limit must not be lower than 27, 10% is entered in this field.

Lower Limit

The lowest allowed value of the process variable.

Upper Limit

The highest allowed value of the process variable.

Lower Tolerance

The lower limit of the process variable as a percentage.

Upper Tolerance

The upper limit of the process variable as a percentage.

Registration Type

The type of registration that is applicable for the measured values of process variable. By default, this value is set to Instruction Only.

Allowed values

Optional Registration

The registration of the measured values is optional.

Mandatory Registration

The registration of the measured values is mandatory.

Instruction Only

By default, the registration type is set to this option, for example, when the production orders are migrated from previous feature packs.

Sample Frequency

The sample frequency is the total quantity that is to be measured. The sample frequency is expressed as a percentage.

Note: This field is enabled only if Registration Type field is set to Optional Registration or Mandatory Registrations.
