Description

View or edit details of the current bill of materials (BOM) line, including the production order, item number and BOM position. You can also check the estimated and remaining BOM quantities and additional inventory information.

View or edit details of the production associated with the current BOM line, including the production order, item number and name. You can also check the requested delivery date, the production status and the estimated quantity cost.

Fields

Field

Description

Displays the production number for the production where the BOM line belongs.

Specify a unique identification of the item to be consumed in the production. The item number must already exist in the items table, and the can be Item, BOM, or Service.

You can select item numbers from the list of existing item numbers. You can also enter the item number manually, in which case the system verifies that the item number exists in the items table. At the same time, you fill in the Item name field. The same item number can figure in the production's BOM several times. For more information about the items table, see Item (form)

This field defines the of the BOM line. This field can contain an alphanumeric string of up to 10 characters. Use the as a reference to a position number on a drawing of the item.

Specify the planned date for material consumption.

The estimated quantity/volume of the item to be used in the production. Indicate in the box whether the consumption is variable or constant.

Displays the consumption that needs to be released to production in the BOM unit with regard to the estimated quantity in Release takes place in connection with start or reporting as finished using a release journal. For more information about bill of material units, see .

Displays the quantity of items in the bill of material unit released to production. For more information about bill of materials, see . The bill of materials unit can be recalculated to the inventory unit. For more information about recalculation, see Unit conversion (form).

Displays the consumption that is released to the production in the bill of materials unit, but has not yet been included in the cost accounting. For more information about cost accounting, see . For more information about bill of material units, see .

specifies the unit in which consumption is expressed. The unit ID is retrieved from the field in the Items table.

Cost estimated quantity/amount of item to be included in the production defined in the inventory unit. For more information about inventory units, see Item (form). The consumption is calculated when estimation is executed. In the case of variable consumption, the following formula is used in calculating the consumption: (in Production order) * (in the bill of material) = determines whether the consumption is variable or constant. For more information, see . When the production has Created, 0.00 is displayed on .

The quantity that has been released to production in inventory units. For more information about units, see Units (form).

The inventory unit can be converted to a BOM unit. For more information about conversion, see Unit conversion (form).

Displays the consumption that needs to be released to the production in the inventory unit with regard to the estimated quantity. For more information about units, see Item (form).

Unique identification of the production order. When new production orders are created, the number is either allocated automatically or entered manually.

Displays a unique identification of the item that is to be produced. This field cannot be changed. The item to be produced is defined when production is set up. For more information, see Create production order (form).

Displays the name of the production. This field is automatically updated when you select .

Identification of alternative work center.

To display the Work centertable, press ALT+H. If there is no available capacity in the work center attached to the operation in the production route and the operation has an attached requirement that is equal or smaller than the requirement specified for the alternative work center, the operation is scheduled for the alternative work center. If there are several alternative work centers that can be used on the basis of the set requirements, the operation is scheduled for the first work center with available capacity. Here a descriptive name is defined for the production order. This makes it easier to identify a production. This field cannot be changed. When a new production order is created, the name is automatically filled in with the item name for the item the production is concerned with. See also Create production order (form). You can change the name when the production is created.

Indicates the basis that was used for the creation of this production order. The following types are available:

  • Standard - Production has been created without specific attachment to an order, another production/vendor or planned order.

  • Vendor - Productions are produced by a vendor, and also that the production order is attached to another production. You can find the reference to the production order through the and fields.

Displays the scheduled production quantity.

Displays the desired delivery or finish date for the production. You can use the delivery date in the production's operations or job scheduling, where the scheduling can be selected backward from delivery date. If you carry out operations scheduling or job scheduling for a production order that has automatic creation of underproductions defined in the bill of material, then the delivery date for the underproductions is automatically set to the date when the items are to be used in the production. The underproduction will then have operations scheduled Backward from delivery date.

Note Note

If a production is created directly from a sales order, the delivery date is automatically transferred back to the confirmed delivery of the order line.

Delivery time.

Status of the production order indicates exactly where it is in the overall production cycle. The production status is automatically updated each time an update or scheduling is run on a production order.

The typical life cycle of a production order starts at the beginning of the production process when the order is first created. At this point, the order is automatically assigned the Created status The subsequent phases include: estimated, planned, released, started, reported as finished, and ended.

Displays the remainder status on the production order(s).

Displays the scheduling status of the production. Operations scheduling is the less detailed of the two types of scheduling available in the production system. It is often used when you want an estimate of the duration of the production process.

Note Note

To enable the button, the scheduling status must not be set to .

Displays the quantity that is used as basis for cost estimating. This quantity can differ from the quantity that has been planned, started or reported as finished.

Displays the start quantity. The start quantity is updated automatically with the quantity that is started.

Displays the number remaining to be reported as finished.
