Production Order Group - Production Orders (tisfc0501m100)

Use this session to display the contents of an production order group. In addition, you can use the options in the appropriate menu to release production orders, report production as completed, backflush material and hours, and close production orders. You can also add or remove production orders to an order group.

Source of orders in this session

You can create order groups by carrying out the following two steps:

  1. Make an initial selection of production orders in the Create Production Order Group (tisfc3250m000) session.
  2. Accept or reject individual orders as part a an order group in the Assign Orders to Production Order Group (tisfc3151s000) session (started from the Create Production Order Group (tisfc3250m000) session).

Or you can transfer orders from the Enterprise Planning package using the following session:

  • Transfer Order Planning (cppat1210m000)

Warehouse

The warehouse where the end-items or subassemblies will be stored after delivery.

Order Status

The status of the production order.

Initial Hidden
Reference Date

The date on which the project becomes effective for the selected production order.

Planning Method

If the Planning Method field is Forward, the delivery date is planned forward based on the Production Start field.

If the Planning Method field is Backward, the production start date is planned backward based on the Planned Delivery field.

You can only alter this field for:

  • Manually-entered orders
  • Orders transferred from the Warehousing package.
Confirmed Delivery Date

The production delivery date of the order confirmed to the customer by, for example, the shop floor planner. You can manually alter this date, until the production order is completed.

Order Distribution Present
If this checkbox is selected, an order distribution is present.
Operations Present

If this check box is selected, the production order has at least one operation.

Operations Blocked

If this check box is selected, at least one of the operations of the production order has been blocked.

Rework Order

If this check box is selected, the production order is a rework order.

The rework order can have one of these origins:

  • Manual
  • Quarantine to existing specifications
  • Quarantine to new specifications
  • Refurbish Tool

Print Label during Report Orders Completed

If this check box is selected, a label is printed for each production order in the schedule that is completed.

Completion Date

The date and time when the production order was completed.

Note: When a production order is reported as completed, you can enter an earlier date as completion date.

Actual Delivery Date

The date the end-item was delivered.

Actual Closing date

The date on which the costs are calculated.

Quantity Initial

The value of the Quantity Ordered field at the time the production order was released.

Quantity to Deliver

The total quantity of the manufactured item that is about to be delivered into inventory, including any previous quantities.

Allowed values

You can post a quantity that is greater than the quantity reported as completed for the last operation. The planning is then adjusted accordingly.

As soon as Warehousing finishes the inbound procedure for some of the delivered items:

  • The value of the To Deliver field is added to the Quantity Delivered field
  • The To Deliver field is reduced by the quantity that has been processed in Warehousing

You can also report complete negative quantities.

Quantity Delivered

The quantity of the item produced by the production order that was delivered to its warehouse.

Quantity Scrapped

The quantity that is scrapped. These end items cannot be sent to quarantine for possible reworking.

Backflush Materials

If this check box is selected, you can backflush the material that is required to produce the item.

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 Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes.

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) or First In First Out (FIFO)) as is specified in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session.

Calculation Office

calculation office

The calculation office in this field is the default value for the Calculation Office field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session.

Quantity Backflushed

The quantity product for which materials are backflushed.

Quantity to Backflush

The quantity of items, whose components and/or hours still have to be backflushed.

If you backflush quantities, they are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.

Backflush Hours

If this check box is selected, you can backflush the hours spent to manufacture the item to a backflush employee.

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.

Note: Selecting this check box can negatively impact system performance if hours are backflushed. Hours are backflushed if the Hours check box in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is selected.
WIP Transfer Cost Component
The cost component on which WIP transfers between work centers are posted.
Moment Freezing Estimates

The moment when LN freezes the estimated order costs. When the estimated order costs have been frozen, you can no longer modify the data in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session.

Note: 
  • This field applies only when the Version Control check box is cleared in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.
  • The value in this field is the default value for the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Moment of freezing estimates.

Allowed values

During Creating Order

The estimated order costs are frozen, and the estimated end item unit costs are calculated immediately after the production order is created.

During Releasing Order

The estimated order costs are frozen, and the estimated end item unit costs are calculated automatically as soon as the production order is released.

Before First WIP Transaction

The estimated order costs are frozen by means of the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session. This process must be completed before the first financial WIP transaction.

Moment of Completion Posting

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

For more information, see Moment of Completion Posting.

Calculation Date

The date on which the calculation of the estimated end item unit costs is based.

The date in the Calculation Date field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session is not necessarily the date when the calculation is performed, because you can define in the Calculate Estimated End Item Unit Costs (ticst0210m000) session another date than the current date for the calculation.

Note: 
  • This date is only filled when the calculation is performed successfully.
  • This date is used in the Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0502m000) session for determining the effective date of the cost of materials.

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.

Estimated Costs Frozen

The work on the production order has started. The order status will become Active when a transaction takes place for the production order.

The moment the estimated end item unit costs are frozen depends on the Moment Freezing Estimates field.

Definitively Closed

If this check box is selected, all financial transactions for the production order are deleted by the Delete Production Order Transactions (ticst3200m000) session. You cannot reset the production order status anymore.

Use Actual Cost for Receipt Posting

If this check box is selected, end items are received in inventory at their actual costs, and valued according to the actual valuation method.

Use Actual Valuation for Subassembly Receipt Posting

If this check box is selected, subassemblies are received in inventory at their actual costs, and valued according to the defined actual valuation method.

Valuation methods are defined in Warehousing .

The actual valuation methods are:

  • Moving Average Unit Cost (MAUC)
  • First In First Out (FIFO)
  • Last In First Out (LIFO)
  • Lot Price (Lot)
