| Production Planning Overview |  |
| Use this session to display an overview of the factors that affect the planning of a production order. If you double-click an item, you can display the details in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session. Note To maintain the details of production orders in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session, double-click a record in the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session. Production orders end up in the Shop Floor Control module in one of the following ways: The production order is transferred from the Transfer Planned Orders (cppat1210m000) session of Enterprise Planning. ERP LN copies the data of the planned production orders in Enterprise Planning to the production order in the Shop Floor Control module. The production order has been manually entered in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session of the Shop Floor Control module. ERP LN uses the data that you specified for the operations in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session to offset lead-times, and calculate start and end dates. The production order is transferred from the Production Order Advice (whina3100m000) session of Warehouse Management. ERP LN converts the production-order advices in real production orders in the Shop Floor Control module. ERP LN gives this production order the start date of the order advice. For all these production orders, you can alter the production dates in the Shop Floor Control module. Figure 1-1 shows the time points important for the calculation of lead-time elements, and start and finish dates of operations. Figure 1-1
A | Queue Start Date: the date and time on which the queue time of the operation starts
B | Setup+Run Start Date: the date and time on which the production time of the operation starts
C | Remainder Start Date: the date and time on which the operation can be started or resumed
D | Wait Start Date: the date and time on which the production on the operation ends, and the wait time of the operation starts
E | Move Start Date: the date and time on which the wait time ends, and the move time of the operation starts
F | Queue Start Next Operation: the date and time on which the move time ends, and the queue time of the next operation starts. If the operation is the last one of the routing, the queue start date next operation is the planned delivery date.
G | Setup+Run Start Next Operation: the date and time on which the queue time of the next operation ends, and its production time starts. If the operation is the last one of the routing, the setup+run start next operation is the requested delivery date.

Production Order Status | The order status of the production order. Allowed values Planned Scheduled Documents Printed Released Active To be Completed Completed Closed Archived Related topics Production order status
Project | The project for which the production order is intended. If this field is empty, the product of the production order is an anonymous item. Related topics Origin of production orders
Item | The item that is produced by the production order.
Operation | The sequence number of the operation. ERP LN uses the sequence number to plan the routing operations for the manufactured subassembly or finished product. You can use the Operation Relationships by Order (tisfc1102m000) session or the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session to change the operation sequence of a routing.
Next Operation | The routing operation that you want to follow the current one. It is not necessary that the operations follow each other in order of their sequence number, you can select the most efficient order. You can use the Operation Relationships by Order (tisfc1102m000) session or the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session to modify the operation sequence of the routing. Value zero (0) is reserved for the final operation.
Task | The task that is performed in the operation. You can define tasks for a routing operation in the Tasks (tirou0103m000) session.
Task | The description of the task carried out in the operation.
Work Center | The work center where the operation is performed. You can define a default work center for a task in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session.
Work Center | The description of the work center where the operation is performed.
Subcontracting Operation | ERP LN displays Yes if: The workcenter you defined for the operation in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) sessions is a subcontracting workcenter. You defined the corresponding operation as a subcontracting operation in the Subcontract Operations (tisfc2210m000) session.
Calendar | The calendar ERP LN uses to plan the operation. In the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session you find more details on the calendar ERP LN uses to plan the operation. Related topics Calendars in Manufacturing
Time Zone | The time zone ERP LN takes into account for planning production orders. ERP LN plans the operations in the time zones that you defined for the address of the department of the involved work center in the Addresses (tccom4530m000) session. For example, if working time starts at 08:00 AM in the calendar, the planning starts at 08:00 AM in the specified time zone. However, ERP LN displays the operation dates in the time zone that is defined for the user (local time). Related topics To use time zones
Operation Status | The current operation status of the operation. Allowed values Planned Ready to Start Started Active Blocked Completed Closed Related topics Operation status Operation status values Blocking operations Reporting operations as completed Reporting quantities as completed and rejected
Queue Time | The queue time of the operation as defined in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. You can reduce the planned queue time in the Automated Queue Time Compression (tisfc1103s000) session, which is accessible through the Specific menu of the following sessions: Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) Production Planning Overview (tisfc1507m000) Related topics Queue time compression Lead times in Manufacturing
Time Unit | The time unit ERP LN uses to express the queue time, the wait time, and the move time. You can define the time unit in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.
Production Time | The production time is the total lead time of the operation. The formula ERP LN applies to calculate the operation's production time depends on whether or not you selected the Fixed Duration check box. If you selected the Fixed Duration check box, ERP LN applies the following formula: If you cleared the Fixed Duration check box, ERP LN applies the following formula:
Remaining Production Time | The lead time that is still needed to finish the operation. When the production has started, ERP LN gradually reduces the Remaining Prod. Time untill the operation is fully completed. The way in which ERP LN calculates the remaining production time depends on the setting of the Calculation Method Remaining Production Time field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. If this field is set to Planned Quantity, ERP LN applies the following formula to calculate the remaining order quantity:
    Remaining order quantity = quantity planned input - (quantity completed +
     quantity rejected + quantity planned rejects)
Next, ERP LN uses the value of the remaining order quantity to calculate the production time. If the Calculation Method Remaining Production Time field is set to Time Spent, ERP LN takes the following steps to calculate the remaining production time: Calculate the spent hours. Calculate the total hours. Calculate the remaining production time with the values found in the previous two steps. Related topics To calculate remaining production time
Spent Time | The total number of man and machine hours booked on the operation by People. When you account your hours in People and process them, the hours are posted to the order/operation. If you use backflushing, the hours are posted automatically.
Wait Time | The wait time of the operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session, expressed in the time unit you defined in that same session.
Move Time | The move time of the operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.
Slack Time | The slack time of the operation calculated by ERP LN. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Trf Batch Less Than Prdn Batch | The quantity or percentage of items for which an operation must be finished before you can start with the next operation. Even though an operation is not yet finished for all items in a production order, you can start the next operation for the items that are already finished. In a production environment where kanban is used, the transfer batch quantity equals the kanban size (which is the standard container, or the standard lot size). The transfer batch quantity replaces the previously used concept of overlap percentage on operation. If this check box is selected, you can start the next operation before the complete production batch is finished. A value is displayed in the Transfer Batch Qty field, which indicates when the next operation can be started. If this check box is cleared, the next operation starts when the complete production batch is finished. If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, the number displayed in the Transfer Batch Qty field is a quantity. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, the number is a percentage. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Transfer Batch Quantity | The quantity or percentage of items for which an operation must be finished before you can start with the next operation. Even though an operation is not yet finished for all items in a production order, you can start the next operation for the items that are already finished. In a production environment where kanban is used, the transfer batch quantity equals the kanban size (which is the standard container, or the standard lot size). The transfer batch quantity replaces the previously used concept of overlap percentage on operation. If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, a quantity is displayed. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, a percentage is displayed.
Days Late | Number of days between the requested delivery date of the production order and the planned delivery date of the operation, which is the Queue Start Next Operation.
Physical Location | The name or description of where the operation is carried out. You can also use this field for any other information about the production orders. If you are using order groups, you can update this field for all members of the group together with the Update Physical Location for Production Order Groups (tisfc0210m000) session. Note The physical location referred to in this field is not in any way related to a warehouse location.
Queue Start Date | The start date of the queue time of the current operation. You can click the Automated Queue Time Compression option on the Specific menu to start the Automated Queue Time Compression (tisfc1103s000) session which you can use to evenly reduce the queue times across the applicable operations. Related topics Queue time compression
Setup+Run Start Date | The planned start date of the operation.
Remainder Start Date | The date you want to start the operation, or if the operation has already been started, the date when you want to resume the operation. You can choose whether ERP LN uses the remaining order quantity or, the hours spent to calculate how much work has been carried out, by changing the Calculation Method Remaining Production Time field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.
Wait Start Date | The date and time at which the setup + run time of the operation are planned to finishe, and the wait time is planned to start. Note The Wait Start Date date is calculated in the Shop Floor Control module.
Move Start Date | The date and time the wait time is planned to finish, and the move time is planned to start.
Queue Start Next Operation | The date and time the move time of the operation is planned to end, and the queue time of the next operation is planned to start.
Setup+Run Start Next Operation | The date and time on which the queue time of the next operation is planned to finish and the production on the next operation starts. If you selected the Trf Batch Less Than Prdn Batch check box, and defined a batch quantity in the Transfer Batch Qty field for the first operation, the next operation can start before the first operation finished. In this case, the date and time in the Setup+Run Start Next Operation field of the first operation is made equal to date and time in the Queue Start Next Operation field.
