New Functions in the Production Order for Release
3.0
Description
The following functions have been introduced for Release 3.0:
Planned orders or production orders can be
linked in a collective order. Stock movements are not carried out between
production levels in a collective order. A receipt to stock is only carried
out for the main order.
Further information on these functions can be
found in the release note 'Collective Orders'
An assembly order can be created directly when
creating a sales order. An assembly order can be a planned order, a production
order or a network.
All the changes in quantity and dates in the
sales order affect the assembly order.
The strategy group in the material master (1st
MRP screen) controls
- whether an assembly order is created from a sales order
- what kind of assembly order is created (planned order, production order or
network)
- By-product production with separate settlement
You can now enter by-products in production
orders. Further information on by-product production can be found in the
release note: 'By-Product Production in the Production Order'.
- Routing/BOM selection using versions
When creating a production order directly (ie.
without planned order), the routing and the bill of material can be selected
using a production version.
Batch splits can be carried out for materials
that are maintained in batches (allocation of several batches to a material
component). The batch determination is controlled using search criteria
maintained in Customizing.
Further information on batch determination can
be found in Customizing.
For materials held in stock, you can control
that when the stock is used up, the requirements of the material are
redirected to a follow-up material or a group of follow-up materials.
Further information on discontinued parts can be
found in the release note: 'Discontinuation of a Material When Stock is Used
up'.
- Multi-level component allocation
Components which are allocated to phantom
assemblies can be allocated to an operation in the routing. Allocation can be
carried out over several BOM levels, if the phantom assembly itself contains
phantom assemblies.
- Copy new bill of material
With the menu options Order
-> Function -> Read master data , a
new bill of material can also be copied into the production order.
- Reallocating phantom assemblies
It is now possible to reallocate phantom
assemblies from one operation to another.
With the order information system, you can
select objects that belong to a production order, such as material components,
operations, sequences, and confirmations, and display them in list form.
Further information on this function can be
found in the release note 'Order Information System'
- Order creation with configuration
A production order for a configurable material
can be created directly (without planned order). In this case, configuration
is carried out when creating the production order.
- Order creation for the sales order
An allocation to the sales order can be carried
out when creating a production order. Consequently, the production order is
settled to the sales order.
- Order creation without material number
A production order can be created without
reference to a material.
- Order creation with reference
When creating a production order, you can refer
to
If a production order is used as a reference,
you can also specify which objects (operations, production resources/tools,
trigger points, components) are copied from the reference.
- QM inspection lot for the order
If a production order is released for a material
which requires quality inspection in production, an inspection lot is created.
The management of the inspection lot and inspection characteristics takes
place in QM.
- Processing of missing parts
There is a Missing parts
overview in the data of the current order, in which for example the
requirement quantity, storage location, and plant can be changed.
There is also a Missing parts
list which displays the missing parts from one or more orders (for
collective orders).
- Capacity requirements allocation
You can divide up the capacity requirements of
an operation into any number of capacity splits. You can allocate each
capacity split to a person or a work center, depending on the capacity
category. To do this, select an operation in the operation overview and choose
the menu options Operation -> More -> Capacity
splits
- Connection to capacity leveling
Via the menu options Goto -> Cap.req.
planning -> capacity leveling , you can branch directly from order
processing into the planning table of capacity requirements planning. The
formatting of the planning table (graphic, tabular) and the data displayed is
specified in an overall profile (capacity planning) and can be allocated to a
production scheduler. Operations can be split, released and scheduled on the
planning table.
Using trigger points, you can specify that
changing a status in the operation automatically initiates one of the
following functions.
- Insertion of a reference operation set
- Triggering a workflow process
You can also specify that a user can manually
initiate one of these functions by confirming an operation (for example with
rework)
Further information on these functions can be
found in the release note 'Trigger Points / Standard Trigger Points / Trigger
Point Groups'
- Integration of WM (warehouse management system)
A transfer requirement can be created
automatically when releasing the order for components that are maintained by
WM. Whether the creation of the transfer requirement is to be carried out
automatically or manually is determined for each production scheduler. If
errors occur when creating transfer requirements, an error log is created and
the order is marked with the status 'Error in LVS allocation'.
- New confirmation functions
In confirmation, the following new functions are
delivered:
- Automatic GR during confirmation/posting during final confirmation
- Confirmation of individual capacities (splits)
Further information on these functions can be
found in the release note: 'Confirmation: Changes in 3.0'.
Further information on the new functions can be found in the manual PP -
Production orders.
