Scope of functions

Completion Confirmations

During the completion confirmations, for example of production orders, the actual values are entered for the standard values, the quantities and dates in the operation. You can enter forecast values and dates for the standard values.

With the completion confirmation the capacity requirements are also updated. When the operation is finally confirmed the remaining capacity requirements are set to zero.

There are two types of partial confirmation:

With a partial confirmation the system recalculates the remaining capacity requirements using the remaining quantity. If there are no forecast values then the system carries out calculations using the standard values and the remaining quantity in the formulas for the relevant capacity requirements.

If there are forecast values for the standard values then the system calculates the formulas with these values.

With a partial confirmation in the production order you can specify that the setup operation has been completed. Thus the system does not take the setup time into consideration.

For partially confirmed operations in networks and maintenance orders, remaining capacity requirements can be calculated by subtracting the actual requirements value for the network/maintenance order from the total capacity requirements. Alternatively, you can specify a forecast value for work with which the capacity requirements are to be calculated using the formulas.

You can find information on distributing the remaining capacity requirements in Distributing Remaining Capacity Requirements.

Status Change

As well as a partial confirmation and a final confirmation, the order status "technically completed" affects the capacity requirements. This status results in all the capacity requirements for an order being reduced.
