Define production parameters to reflect your production environment. You can specify how creation, estimation, scheduling, consumption feedback, and cost accounting should be handled for production orders. Production parameters must be defined before you can create or run your production.
Set up
general parameters

– Automatically include how much BOM the current operation is consumed by the picking list.
-
– Indicate that the feedback for the last operation should automatically be production-reported-as-finished.
-
– Automatically update the capacity plan when journals are posted.
-
– Allow negative picking in the physical inventory during posting.
-
– Automatically reduce item consumption to the physical inventory if the stock is out.
-
– Indicate that the planned order quantity should manage and appreciate the attached inventory transactions.
-
– To accept missing feedback for work center and item consumption.
-
– Indicate that the BOM consumption for the current production should automatically be picking-list updated,

Set up
standard update parameters
You can set parameters to guide the way in which the system handles the posting of scrap and capacity requirements during updates.
-
Click > > .
-
On the tab, in the field, select the method to use to post scrap to the ledger during Item and Work center consumption. (In Cost accounting: for the quantity reported as bad.) You can change the selection before you perform cost accounting. Cost accounting is performed when production orders are completed.

To use limited material requirements as default values in operations and job scheduling, select the check box.
-
To use limited property requirements as default values in operations and job scheduling, select the check box.
Set up
automatic update
Select the way that the system will conduct automatic updates. Updates are automatically executed by the system when the update that you run is further along in the production flow than the status of the production order.
-
Click > > .
