| # Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) Use this session to find, list, or maintain item data. Note If you select an item, the item production data is defined based on the item type and item group of the item. If you want to specify item production data, first specify the default production data and types and the item groups in the Items - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) session. Related topics Item data Critical items Integration Manufacturing and Document Management Item The configurable item. Actual Supply Source Actual Supply Source Search Key Search keys are used to retrieve items in various sessions. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of the item is recorded. Default Supply Source The default supply source. This field can be used to determine what type of supply order LN must create if you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient. Note If the item type is Manufactured or Generic, the supply source can be Shop Floor or Assembly. If the item type is Engineering Module, the supply source is Assembly and cannot be changed. If the item type is Purchased, the supply source is Purchase and cannot be changed. Allowed values Source Related topics Assembly items Creating Generic BOMs BOM BOM Quantity Defines the number of manufactured items on which the item's bill of material is based. The BOM Quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components. Related topics BOM quantity Scrap Percentage Scrap can be defined as a percentage or as a fixed quantity. If scrap is defined as a percentage it is called the scrap factor. It is defined with the following formula:
    Gross requirement = (scrap factor/100% + 1) * net quantity
Related topics Scrap Scrap Quantity The quantity used to anticipate the fixed loss of quantity in the manufacturing process of a product. A fixed quantity scrap is characterized by means of the following formula:
    Gross requirement = net quantity + scrap quantity
Related topics Scrap Warehouse is Mandatory on BOM Line If this check box is selected, and you use this item as a component in the BOM, you must specify the warehouse for this component item on the BOM line in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) details session. As a result, if a dependent demand explosion is performed, the component item is supplied by the warehouse on the BOM line. If this check box is cleared, and you use this item as a component in the BOM, you do not need to specify the warehouse for this component item on the BOM line. In case of a dependent demand explosion, the warehouse that is defined in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) details session supplies the component item. Phantom If this check box is selected, this item is a phantom. You can overrule the setting of this check box in the Phantom check box in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. Related topics Phantoms Use Phantom Inventory If this check box is selected, LN checks if any phantom inventory is available. If the phantom item is available in inventory, and the quantity is sufficient, this inventory is used as component in the production order. If no phantom inventory is available, or the quantity is insufficient, the inventory is not used. LN treats the component as a normal phantom item, so the phantom is exploded for the total quantity. Note The phantom stock is used in the Shop Floor Control (SFC) module, but is ignored in Enterprise Planning. Related topics Phantoms Link materials to operations Issue Unlinked Materials At If a material of a phantom item is not linked to a specific operation, this field determines the moment on which that material must be issued. Allowed values Issue Unlined Materials At Note This field is only relevant in case the operations of the production order partly originate from the routing of the phantom items. For a material's operated item, see the Operated Item field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. Performance aspects For performance reasons, it is recommended to set this field to First Operation of Production Order. For more information, refer to Material for multiple operations. Related topics Phantoms Overview of material issue Link materials to operations Routing Order Lead Time order lead time The order lead time is determined when you click Update Order Lead Time in this session. Order Lead Time Select Hours or Days as the time unit in which you want to express the order lead time. Routing Unit Quantity of the manufactured item on which the routing is based. This unit enables you to include very short operation times in the routing of an item. Order Qty-dependent Routing If this check box is selected, LN selects a particular routing by default. The selection depends on the order quantity. This means that the order quantity of an item affects the: Operation times Work centers Machines Other routing-related data Note This does not apply to generic item. Related topics Order quantity dependent routings Selection of routing to calculate costs Subcontracting with Material Flow If this check box is selected, subcontracting with material flow is used to produce this item. If this check box is cleared, subcontracting without material flow is used to produce this item. Note This check box is only visible if the Subcontracting with Material Flow check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the default supply source of the item is Assembly, this check box is unavailable. Related topics Overview of subcontracting Methods Derived from Item The item from which the current item, in the Item field, is derived. If a standard item is copied to a customized item using the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) session, LN displays the standard item code in the customized item's Derived from Item field. Backflush Materials If this check box is selected, you can backflush the material that is required to produce the item. Serialized items Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO) or First In First Out (FIFO)) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. Related topics Backflushing Overview of serialized items Backflush Hours If this check box is selected, you can backflush the hours spent to manufacture the item to a backflush employee. Related topics Backflushing. Backflush if Material If this check box is selected, the item is backflushed when it is used as a component in the product structure of another item. Serialized items Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO)) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. Related topics Backflushing Overview of serialized items Item Options Critical for Inventory Check If this check box is selected, you can check the availability of this item if used as material in a production order. These checks are performed in the following sessions: The Check Inventory (tiasc2240m000) session in the Assembly Control (ASC) module. The Print Material Shortages by Production Order (tisfc0419m000) session. Related topics Line sequencing and rule types in Assembly Control Material shortage checking Direct Initiate Inventory Issue If this check box is selected, the warehouse order line for the material is automatically unblocked during production order release. Consequently, you do not need to run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session to unblock the material. If this check box is cleared, and if the material is not backflushed, you must use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session to unblock the material's warehouse order line. An unblocked warehouse order line serves as a signal for the warehouse employees to begin the warehouse outbound procedure, starting with an outbound advice for the material. The warehouse outbound procedure results in material sent to the shop floor. If the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically. Related topics Overview of material issue Direct Process Warehouse Order Line If this check box is selected, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after materials have been unblocked in the warehouse. If this check box is cleared, and you unblock warehouse order lines using the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, the quantity to issue is added to the To Issue by Warehousing field in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) details session. You must manually carry out the remainder of the warehousing procedure. If you use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, warehouse order lines for the materials to issue are unblocked. You can also select the Direct Initiate Inventory Issue check box for the materials. In that case, warehouse order lines are automatically unblocked during production order release. Note If the current item must be a low volume serialized item, this check box must be cleared. Related topics Overview of material issue Overview of serialized items Serialized items in Warehousing Net Change SFC If this check box is selected, during the regenerative replanning process, a partial explosion and netting is made. LN only replans the parts of scheduled SFC orders affected by the change in the bill of material and in the routing. Item Production Text If this check box is selected, item production text is present. STO Item The item originates from a standard-to-order (STO) item. The bill of material and the routing are also derived from the original item. Receipt Inspection if End Item If this check box is selected, and the item produced is the end item, an inspection on the item must be performed when the item is received in the warehouse. Related topics Inspection methods for end products Warehouse inspections and order origin Warehousing inspections Outbound Inspection if Material If this check box is selected, material is inspected when issued from a warehouse. Related topics Warehouse inspections and order origin Warehousing inspections Repetitive RPT Item RPT (repetitive) item. The item is an RPT (repetitive) item if: It is produced in relatively large quantities. It is subject to repetitive demand. The production is based on a rate. The production is controlled through schedules. The lead time is relatively short. Anonymous items as well as to-order items can be repetitive. However, only to-order items that are Standard-to-Order can be used in RPT schedules. You cannot use generic items or Engineer-to-Order items in an RPT schedule. Schedule Code A repetitive item is produced in large quantities and is subject to repetitive demand. The production of repetitive items is handled by schedules that have a schedule code. Note The schedule code is mandatory. Define schedule codes in the details session. Rate Factor for Enterprise Planning The percentage that indicates the productivity of a work center on an assembly line. A work center cannot be fully productive, for instance, if the people on the assembly line are not present. The rate factor for planning the estimated production rate per routing or a specific work center is calculated using this value. After the production rate is calculated for all operations, the operation with the lowest production rate is identified and the corresponding work center is the bottleneck work center. This value is used to indicate how many units of a repetitive item must be planned for one planned production order in Enterprise Planning. For quantity that exceeds the original planned production order, a new planned production order is generated on the same date as the original. Example Assume the rate of the work center is 80 pieces, and you receive a demand (such as a sales order) for 100 pieces. Enterprise Planning generates a planned purchase order for 80 pieces, and a second planned purchase order for 20 pieces, both with the same finish date. Remarks The rate percentage for planning must be greater than zero. |
