Note Note

This topic documents fields and other elements in this window that either are not self-explanatory or require additional information.

End of the note.

Type
Select one of the following options: Item - This is the default option. The remaining fields for the Item option are populated by default from the BOM associated with the parent item, or from the Item Master Data window. Resource - You can select a desired resource from the choose from list in the No. field. The remaining fields are populated by default from the BOM associated with the parent item or from the Resource Master Data window. Text - Select this option to add text in the line; the remaining fields merge into one. The text is added automatically from the corresponding line in the Bill of Materials window associated with the parent item, or you can define it manually.

No.
Displays the number of the resource or item component. To add a component, from the choose from list, select the desired item or resource, depending on the option you chose in the Type field. You can update the component details when the Production Order has the status Planned or Released; however, you cannot add or edit backflush-issued components once transactions have taken place.

Base Qty
Quantity of the components necessary to manufacture the Bill of Materials of a single parent product. The origin of the value is the Quantity field in the Bill of Materials window.

Additional Qty
Displays the quantity that is added to the total planned quantity of items and resources in the production order, regardless of the quantity of the parent item produced. The value is copied from the Additional Qty field in the Bill of Materials window, however, you can change it manually in the production order. Note Only components of the Manual issue method can have zero Base Qty and the Additional Quantity larger than zero. End of the note. Note The additional quantity for by-products is always zero. End of the note.

Planned Qty
Planned quantity of the component for issue, which is the multiple of the base quantity and the planned quantity of the product. You can enter a different quantity in the following circumstances: Manually issued components - The Production Order has Planned or Released status. Planned quantity cannot be updated to less than issued quantity. Backflush components - No products are reported as Completed. A grey field indicates that you cannot update the quantity.

Issued
Total component quantity already issued for the Production Order.

Available
Displays the available quantity of the item units in the specific warehouse, including outgoing and incoming orders. For resources, it displays the total resource availability for the warehouse populated on the production order line.

UoM Code, UoM Name
Displays the inventory Unit of Measurement (UoM) for the item component.

Warehouse
Default warehouse from which you issue the components. For manually issued components you can overwrite the value before you post the inventory transactions for the line.

Issue Method
Choose the issue method for the Production Order: Manual – individual components of a parent item are issued manually. Serial or batch-managed items must be issued manually. Backflush – components of a parent item are automatically issued to the Production Order once you report the completion of the parent item.

Start Date
Displays the earliest date when the component is needed in the production process. The value from the Start Date field on the header is copied into this field by default. You can change it manually, however, the date cannot be earlier than the start date on the header. Both start and end dates on the rows are relevant for MRP, ATP and resource reports.

End Date
Displays the latest date by which the component needs to be used in the production process. By default, his date is the same as the one in Due Date on the header of the production order. You can change this date for each component manually, however, it cannot be later than the Due Date specified in the header. MRP, ATP and resource capacity reports take into consideration separately the date ranges defined for each component.

Distr. Rule
If required, specify a distribution rule for the row.

WIP Account
Displays the account to which costs of the component are posted during the production process. If the production order lines are populated with components from a BOM, the account defined in the WIP Account field in the BOM for the relevant component populates this field. If the WIP Account field for the relevant component is blank in the BOM, this account is blank, too. You can manually update the account in this field. The value of this field is then copied into the Account Code field of the issue for production.

Run Time
Displays the quantity of the resource included in the production order expressed in time. The Run Time is calculated according to the following formula: Base Qty of the resource * Planned Qty of the parent item * (Time per Resource Unit / Resource Units per Time)

Additional Time
Displays the additional quantity of the resource needed to complete the production order, expressed in time. The value is calculated according to the following formula: Additional Qty * Time per Resource Units / Resource Units per Time

Total Time
Displays the total sum of Run Time and Additional Time.

Project
Specify the project that you want to relate to each item. By default, the field displays the project specified for the item in the corresponding Bill of Materials window.

Resource Allocation
The value of this field is taken from the relevant Resource Master Data window; however, you can update it manually. Select one of the following options: On Due Date - The capacity of the resource is allocated to the due date of the production order. This means that the resource capacity in the Open Qty is counted as Committed capacity on the due date of the production order. Automatic - The capacity of the resource is allocated to the due date when it is assigned to the production order; however, if the Open Qty is greater than the internal capacity for the due date, the system allocates only as much capacity as there is in Internal capacity defined for the due date. The process continues backwards for each day until it reaches the current system date and allocates all the remaining Open Qty to the current system date, regardless of how much internal capacity is defined for that day. Note With automatic resource allocation, the system takes into account the internal capacity, not what is in Available capacity. This means that if there are more production orders with the same due date, the resource allocation is run against the internal capacity for each production separately; it does not take into account whether there are already production orders which might have consumed the internal capacity for the day. End of the note. Note The triggers for running the resource allocation process are the following: Adding the production order. Updating Planned Qty, Resource Allocation, and Warehouse on a resource line (only for the resource in question). Updating the Due Date field triggers the resource allocation process for all resources in the production order. Updating the internal capacity does not trigger resource allocation, hence if you have updated the internal capacity and want the system to run the resource allocation process to update the allocated amounts, you need to update the production order as described above. End of the note.
