Define Manufacturing Settings for Company

The status of the component is set to '00' in 'Manufact Order. Open Lines' (PMS101). An error code is also added to the component. When invalid components are added to the MO, the status of the MO is set to 25 = Short term hold. No reporting is allowed while MO status is 25 and if invalid components exist. To release the MO, all components with error codes must be managed. How to manage the error depends on the error code.

There are three error codes:

• Invalid item status: To correct this error, the status of the item must be corrected, or the component needs to be changed.
• Invalid item-balance status: To correct this error, the status of the item balance must be corrected; approve the component by ignoring the warning in (PMS101) or change the component.
• Invalid product structure status: If a phantom item structure is not approved, the phantom item is added to the bill of material. To correct this, the phantom item must be deleted, and the phantom components created manually. It can also be done through 'MO for Changed Product Structure. Update' (PMS280) if system settings allow it.

Release of a held MO is done in 'Manufacturing Order. Open' (PMS100) using related option 80='Release Held MO'. If components with an error code still exist, the MO remains in status 25.

If (PMS101) with an invalid component is opened for a MO, that has been put temporarily on hold by 'Hold MO Short' option, a filtering parameter 'Only error comp' is displayed in the panel head. When this parameter is activated, only components with an error code are displayed. Operations are displayed regardless of this setting.

If finish date is specified, the structure date is the finished date, adjusted with the standard lead time retrieved from the item/warehouse record. If a start date is specified, the start date is used as the structure date.

These alternatives are the valid:

0 = No

1 = Yes

2 = Yes, and exclude obsolete bill of material from lowest level calculation

Alternative 0 generates MOs according to the structure date. If the MOs are created for product structure revisions in past time, this alternative must be used.

Alternative 1 replaces a calculated structure date in past time with the current date. A future structure date remains as is.

Alternative 2 works similar to alternative 1 but excludes obsolete bill of material from the lowest level calculation. The material lines with To-date in past time is not considered and historical matrix lines are omitted.

This applies only if 'Item. Connect Warehouse' (MMS002) has a status 20.

When the product structure is approved, this allows the item to explode to generate demand at lower levels of the product after the MRP calculation. Planned manufacturing orders cannot be released and no manufacturing order can be created until the statuses of both the item and product structure are set to 20-'Released'.

This field indicates whether different structure types must be used. If the parameter is set, a structure type is used to define more than one product structure for each product and field of activity.

Manufacturing order is created on different structure types. The types are defined in 'Settings - Product Structure' (CRS787).

Certain functions can only be performed for products with these standard structure types:

• Requirements calculation
• Lead time calculation
• Summarized bills of material

Kit items belonging to customer orders might use another structure type.

1 = Only the operation time is totaled for an operation with the same operation number and the same work center. If there is no matching, it will be handled as in alternative 2.

2 = The entire operation always starts with 8xxx. The numbering sequence for added phantom operations is set in the P panel.

Note that only services with the structure type selected in this field and a blank product number is selected on 'Settings - Maintenance 1' (CRS788/G).

This field defines the week in which you want the overdue load to be assigned. An overdue load refers to a load which exists in past time.

1 = Current week

2 = Closest previous week.

This field indicates whether work center capacity must be created when work schedules for employees are created.

The employee should be connected in 'Person. Open' (CRS530).

0 = No employee capacity created in 'Load. Display Total/Employee' (CPS160).

1 = Employee capacity created in (CPS160).

2 = Employee and work center capacity are created in 'Load. Display Totals' (CPS100).

This field defines the product number.

The product number is the same as the in-house manufacturing item number and is always used together with structures to describe what a product consists of and how it is manufactured.

This field shows whether user mail must be sent to the mailbox in (CRS420) when a report is made with this disturbance type.

Mail is sent to the user (or receivers stated in the distribution list) defined for the disturbance type.

This field defines whether a message must be sent when a report is made for the disturbance type.

The message is sent to the user (or receivers in the distribution list) defined for the disturbance type.

The message contains these parts:

• Description from the disturbance type
• Action date (when the report was made).

The field indicates a user ID or send list for direct distribution of a printout.

Note that user ID must be completed with an address. Normally, this is not necessary when a send list is available.

This method of distribution is only possible if the user ID and/or send lists exist in the system and it is not selected here.

This field shows the address of the user ID entered.

The information is mandatory when distribution is applied to a user ID but it is optional when distribution is applied to a send list.

This field defines whether the MO must retain the same order number as the planned order.

The parameter is only relevant if the manufacturing order is created based on the planned order. Planned orders are created from the requirements calculation or from (PMS170).

This field indicates whether the load category should be:

A = normal order

B = special order.

A normal order is usually similar to a stock order while a special order means a customer order unique manufacturing. The load result can be analyzed separately for the respective category.

This field defines whether scheduled time of completion for the order must be displayed in the material plan. Time of completion is the time on the completion date when the order is expected to be available.

When this field is selected, the parameter 'Receipt priority day' defined in (CRS701) has no effect.

Note that time is calculated only when shift scheduling is activated for the facility.

This field indicates whether the material reservation time for the order must be displayed in the material plan. This time is the time in a reservation date when the order is estimated to be available.

The time is calculated only when shift planning is activated for the facility, regardless of the alternative specified.

This field shows whether the setup time in the current manufacturing order must be 0.

This field enables you to avoid entering records in the setup time table for all combinations that should have a setup time of zero.

This field defines whether the order quantity must be recalculated when the quantity that was actually manufactured and approved for the operation is different from the planned quantity.

This field indaicates the dispatch policy. A dispatch policy contains settings for the dispatch and it is assigned to each order type.

Dispatch policies are defined in 'Dispatch Policy. Open' (MWS010).

This field indicates whether the MO must be released automatically for order costing when it is closed (status 90).

If you do not select this field, the order is released manually in 'Order Costing. Display' (CAS310) or 'Order Costing. Release' (CAS320) for order costing.

This field indicates the order priority.

The priority is automatically created on the planned order when the order is created. The priority can then be changed manually for each planned order.

This field shows whether the order type should have high or low surplus distribution priority.

This functionality is used only in M3 SWB.

This field indicates whether the standard cost will be verified at MO receipt. By default, this is set to 0 but alternatives 1 and 2 will validate if a standard cost is available in (PCS300).

These alternatives are valid:

• 0 = No

• 1 = Yes, with warning

• 2 = Yes, with stop

This field indicates whether the expiration date on a MO must be manually maintained, during the creation and processing of a MO, and automatically calculated based on production date plus entered shelf-life days in 'Item. Connect Warehouse' (MMS002).

These alternatives are valid:

0 - No, the expiry date of all products is calculated based on its respective entered shelf-life in (MMS002).

1 - Yes, manually entered expiry date on MO is kept for all products.

2 - Yes, same as 1 but for primary product only. The expiry dates for by-product and co-product are calculated based on shelf-life in (MMS002).

3 - Yes, same as 1 but for primary product and by-product only. The expiry date for co-product is calculated based on shelf-life in (MMS002).

4 - Yes, same as 1 but for primary product and co-product only. The expiry date for by-product is calculated based on shelf-life in (MMS002).

This field shows whether you must create a lot number for primary product or all products which include end-products, by-products and co-products upon releasing a manufacturing order (MO).

These alternatives are valid:

0 - Yes, for all products.

1 - Yes, same as 0. The lot is also created in Lot Master for the primary product.

2 - Yes, same as 0. The lots are also created in Lot Master for all products.

3 - No, lots are not created.

When this parameter is set to 0 or 3, a lot number can still be generated at MO release in 'Lot/Serial Number. Open/Connect to Item' (MMS235), if 'QI request timing' is set to 1 on (PMS120/F) and the product(s) is quality inspected with quality request.

When this parameter is selected, MOs or MO operations can be rescheduled after materials are released through 'Picking List. Report' (MWS420). This provides operational flexibility while maintaining material traceability.

This field defines whether completion flags must be automatically set when receipt of a manufactured quantity against an order is reported.

Automatic flagging is performed when the reported quantity is equal to or greater than the ordered quantity.

Automatic flagging is performed when the reported quantity is equal to or greater than the ordered quantity.

This field shows whether a completion flag is automatically set when work completed on operations for an order is reported.

Automatic flagging is performed when the manufactured quantity is equal to or greater than the ordered quantity.

This field defines whether issue is permitted for a material which is already flagged as completed in an order.

This only applies when reporting occurs through material requisition.

This field indicates whether issue is permitted for a material which is already flagged as completed in an order.

This only applies when reporting occurs through material requisition.
