Production Quick View

1	Creation of production orders	Manual creation of production orders Create production orders through planned production orders in Master planning Create production orders directly from a sales order line
2	Production orders	Production groups – provide categorization for posting to the general ledger Production pools – allow production orders to be grouped for scheduling Quick overview of the status of the production order Tracking actual production costs against estimated A production order can be split into two or more orders
3	Subcontracting	Purchase of services from subcontractors Vendor delivery note Vendor account and warehouse Link sub-contractor purchase orders to the production order
4	Production Bill of Materials	Standard BOM is copied to Production order, from where it can be modified, if needed Supports Measurement formulas to calculate consumption Supports negative quantity on BOM lines to handle by-products of production
5	BOM line type Each item within a BOM can be controlled by a line-type. A given item can be handled as:	Sub-production Phantom BOM Subcontract Normal item
6	Scheduling	Production scheduling can be done forward or backward with different dates as starting points based on lead time of raw material Finite or infinite material and capacity scheduling
7	Production status A production order goes through the following steps:	Created Estimated Scheduled Released Started Report as finished Costed
8	Production status control	The production order can be rolled back and deleted if required until the costed stage
9	Financial integration	On-line updating of WIP ( items in process and work centers in process ) and actual cost to the general ledger when updated in Production
10	Production consumption	All consumption is reported through journals. Journals can be automatically generated and/or posted. Support for pre-deduct and post-deduct of item and resource consumption Scrap can be handled either as a constant or a variable
11	Multiple route versions	Can allocate more than one route attached to a particular item Approval procedure of routes Default route Routes controlled by date and/or quantity range
12	Multiple BOM versions	Can allocate more than one BOM attached to a item Approval procedure of BOMs Default BOM BOMs controlled by date and/or quantity range
13	Route complexity	Simple route (sequential) Complex route (route network) Simultaneous operations in route network Use of primary and secondary operation in a route Multiple work centers attached to the same operation Allocate a work center as a subcontractor
14	Route simplicity	Share route information between items belonging to same item group
15	Scheduling	Forwards and backwards from various dates Finite or infinite scheduling Rough cut capacity planning
16	Production release	Status between scheduled and started Control print of route card and route jobs
17	Ledger integration	Online update of WIP (items in process and work centers in process) in the general ledger when posting transactions or cost updating the production
18	Operation components	Queue time before operation Set-up time Run time Transit time Queue time after operation Overlap quantity Cost categories Control multiple resources Capacity load per operation
19	Scrap calculations	Calculate expected waste per operation as a percentage
20	Shop floor print outs	Route card Job card Print job list per work center
21	Cost tracking	Detailed tracking of cost related to resources and throughput Include work center costs in production cost estimation Ability to use automatic work center consumption when starting or finishing
22	Gantt chart	Graphical presentation of a production schedule Enables rescheduling by dragging and dropping
23	Task group	Use of alternative work canters for an operation in case of scheduling overloads Basic rules for which alternative work canters can be used
24	Bottleneck scheduling	Rescheduling can be centered on a known bottleneck
25	Job monitoring	Ability to track the setup job or the process job per operation Report resource consumption based on job number
26	Scheduling properties	Schedule operations that require the same work center setup concurrently
