Overview tab

View the journal lines in the route card journal.

General tab

View identifying information about the journal line that is selected on the Overviewtab, and enter the quantity of good items and defective items that are reported as finished on the operation. This helps you build a basis for calculating the Scrapfactor. You can also see if the operation is reported as finished and view the percent of completed items on the operation.

Setup tab

Define the Cost categoriesthat you want to use to calculate the operation expenses for the journal line that are selected on the Overviewtab. You can use hours (the cost of the time consumed) or quantity (the cost of the number of items reported as finished). You can check whether the bill of material (BOM) lines are automatically consumed by the Picking listand whether goods should be automatically reported as finished when the journal is posted.

Note
If you select the Automatic report as finishedcheck box in the setup tab in the Route card journal, when you post the journal, the application automatically generates a Report as finished journalwith the same quantity.

Report as finished

Enter the inventory dimensions that you want to use on the Report as finished journal.

Dimension tab

Specify the department, cost center, and purpose.

Validate

Check the journal line for required information and errors before posting.

Post

Post the journal.

Log

Open the log function to check for posting errors.

Functions

Show data in relation to the current operation, including additional details on the Job, Operation, and Production. You can make selected changes to some of this information, or you can view details that will help you make decisions about your production.

Operation

Show the current operation.

Picking list

Generate a Picking list journal. You can create picking list journal lines based on the information that you provide in the fields in the form.

Date

Date for recording consumption. The system date is the default, but it can be changed.

Production

Production for which consumed time is registered or is being registered.

Consumption can be reported for productions with the status of Started or Reported-as-finished.

Oper. No.

Operation number in the production route that the consumption is attached to.

Priority

Select whether the operation for which the consumption is being reported is primary or secondary.

For more information on prioritizing, see Priority.

Job type

Job type for which the consumption is reported. The following job types exist:

• Queue before

• Setup

• Process

• Overlap

• Transport

• Queue after

Hours

Number of consumed hours for the job type Processor Setter. The number is calculated automatically if you entered starting times and ending times, and if the working time was defined for the current calendar.

Good quantity

Reporting-as-finished for the number of good items. You can only enter a value in the field if the job type is Processor Setter.

Items are reported as finished when the journal is posted. The journal can be posted manually, or it can be posted automatically when the production order is started. Specify automatic posting by defining that setup time and process time are to be consumed automatically in the production route.

For more information about the route group's association with the production route, see Route group.

Error quantity

Number of any defective items that are associated with the current operation.

You can only enter information in the field if the job type is Processor Setter.

Processing percentage

Production progress for Operationthat is specified in a percentage. The field automatically contains a value that is calculated as follows:

Hours now / Estimated total hours * 100

You can change the value manually if the actual progress differs from the proposed value.

When the journal is posted, and the Update capacity planfield in the production parameters is selected, the Processing percentage - processand Processing percentage - setupfields in the production route are updated. The percentages in these fields are reused to reduce the time that remains to be scheduled by reposting the journal and rescheduling.

Note
Use this field only for primary operations, because secondary operations follow the primary operation's capacity plan.

Operation completed

Selected if the operation is reported as finished. Any outstanding quantity of the production BOM for the selected operation is not delivered.

BOM consumption

Indicates whether the attached BOM lines are automatically picking-list consumed when the journal is posted.

The field is selected automatically if you selected the Automatic BOM consumptionfield in the journal, and if there is reporting for an operation with attached BOM lines. When the journal is posted, Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically generates a picking-list journal with the calculated consumption, which is also automatically posted.

If the picking list journal fails to post, the route consumption is still posted, but the picking list journal is open, and you can make changes manually before you post.

You can set up consumption specifically for the picking list journal. Before posting route consumption, click Picking list, set up the dialog, and then click OK. This creates the picking list journal, and you can work in it further until posting.

Production report as finished

Indicates whether the number of goods is automatically reported as finished in production when the journal is posted. The field is selected automatically if you selected Automatic report as finishedin the journal, and if there is reporting for the last operation in the route.

When you post the journal, Microsoft Dynamics AX automatically generates a reporting-as-finished journal with the same quantity, which is also posted. If the reporting-as-finished journal fails to post, the route consumption is still posted, but the reporting-as-finished journal is open, and you can make changes manually before you post.

Route card journal

Sequential numbering of journals.

Line No

Identification of line number.

Voucher

Sequential voucher number in the ledger.

Operation

This field indicates which operation carried out the activity. You can change the operation if an operation other than the one that is defined in the production route has been carried out.

Group/Work center

Work center or work center group.

Employee

Employee who worked on the operation. Specify the employee if, for example, you want to follow up on the scrap percentage, efficiency percentage, or other data per employee.

Cause

If a scrap quantity has been entered, you can state a cause for the error here. The following causes exist:

• Material- items are scrapped due to delivery error.

• Machine- items are scrapped due to machine breakdown or error.

• Operator- items are scrapped due to operator error.

Category hours

Cost category that is used for costing expenses for the finished operation. Costs are calculated as follows:

• Reported setup time * Hourly rate

• Reported process time * Hourly rate

Category quantity

Cost category that is used to cost the quantity category.

This category is used, for example, for piece work, where the category is a price per item that is produced. When you use the quantity category, the category is calculated per item reported as finished per operation. That means that the price of the quantity category is multiplied by the number of operations reported as finished in the production route. Costs are calculated as follows:

Reported process quantity * quantity category

Picking list journal

Identification of the picking list journal.

If you select the BOM consumptionfield ,to automatically generate the picking list journal, this field is populated automatically; otherwise, it is populated when the journal is posted.

Hourly rate

Hourly cost to be used in cost-accounting for reported process time and setter time. The field is populated automatically based on the cost category that you selected, although you can change the default cost.

Quantity price

The quantity price per item that is produced that can be used for costing reported quantities. A price is proposed on the basis of the cost category selected, but you can change that price.
