| Use this session to display, define, and/or modify the production planning. You can modify the timing of a production order's detailed planning manually. You can also modify the planning in the Production Planning by Planning Board (tisfc1120m000) session. Production order plans in Shop Floor Control are originating from: The Enterprise Planning module (see Origin of production orders for more details). Warehouse Management (planned INA orders). Manual entries in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session. Order of Operation The basic inputs for planning of shop floor production are: The routing data. The order data. The item data. The BOM data. The operations are related to each other using network planning. That means that the operations do not have to follow each other in terms of their sequence numbers (10 -> 20 -> 30). For each operation, you can define in the Next Operation field which operation is next. This enables you to build a flexible set of relationships between the operations, including parallel operations. Note If you want to check or modify the sequence of several operations at once, use the Operation Relationships by Order (tisfc1102m000) session. In the Routing module, you can only define sequential routings. If you use phantoms in the bill of material (BOM) of the end item, this can result in a branched network. When ERP LN generates a production plan, it links the last operation of the routing that you defined for the phantom item to the operation specified on the BOM-line of the phantom-item, which is an operation of the main routing or of a parent phantom-routing. Timing of operation In the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) details session, you can see a number of dates that relate to the operation, and also various rates and times. You can modify the dates when the operation is carried out by changing the date and time of the Remainder field. The horizontal line represents the passage of time.

The production time is the sum of the setup time (3) and the run time (4). The dates on the horizontal line are calculated by ERP LN according to the amount of time you specified for each of the following lead-time elements of a routing operation: Queue time Setup time Cycle time Wait time Move time Note Click the Move All button to adjust the production dates of all the operations before and after the current operation to take account of the changes you have made. If you use this method to adjust the production dates of the operations, ERP LN does ignores the setting of the moving methods in the Previous Operation(s) field and the Subsequent Operations field in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session: even if you set these fields to Do Not Move, ERP LN still replans all the operations. To change the number of resources on an operation If you want to change the number of resources on an operation, you can do this by changing the value of the Man Occupation for Production field, or the Machine Occupation field. However, changing the number of resources does not affect the cycle time, and, consequently, the production time. On the other hand, the total production costs will change due to the extra resources. To prevent that production costs change when you change the man occupation or the machine occupation, the cycle time must be recalculated. You can choose to do so, because when changing the man or machine occupation, a question pops up to ask you whether you want the cycle time to be recalculated: If you click Yes, the cycle time is recalculated. So, the man occupation or machine occupation is changed, including the total production time, but the costs stay the same. For more information on how the cycle time is recalculated, refer Recalculation of cycle time when changing man occupation or machine occupation. If you click No, the changed man occupation or machine occupation does not affect the cycle time and the production time. However, the total production costs will change to reflect the change in man occupation or machine occupation.

Fields | Description
Production Order | The production order number. Allowed values The production order must have been defined in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session. In this session, you can only maintain the production planning of the orders with one of the following statuses: Planned Documents Printed Released Active Related topics Production orders - functional overview Planning production orders in SFC To use an overview session Queue time compression Input / output control Shared work centers
Order Status | The order status of the production order.
Item | The main item of the production order. If the bill of material (BOM) of the main item does not contain phantoms, the main item is the same item as the item in the Operated Item field.
Operation | The sequence number of the operation, which is used for the production of the manufactured subassembly or finished product, and which you are planning in this session.
Operation Status | The current status of the operation which you are planning in this session.
Start Operation | If this check box is selected, there are no operations before this operation. Related topics Network routings
Blocking Reason | If the operation has been blocked, the reason for blocking. Related topics Blocking operations Defining blocking reasons for QM
Operated Item | The main item, or the phantom on which the operation is executed. If the Operated Item field does not contain the same item as the Item field, the operated item is a phantom. In this case, the routing of the phantom is connected to the routing of the main item. If the operated item is not a phantom, the main item and the operated item are the same. Related topics Phantoms Network routings Structure of a multilevel BOM Renumbering phantom operations
Slack Time | The slack time of the current operation. Selecting the Transfer Batch Less Than Production Batch check box, and specifying a quantity in the Transfer Batch Qty field results in less slack time than the queue time of the next operation, or in a slack time value of zero. For all the options you can select in the Moving Method Next Operations field, except for the Move All Operations option, ERP LN can move the slack time. If you set the field to When Overlap Occurs, the slack time can become longer if you move an operation to an earlier point in time. In this situation, ERP LN does not touch the next operation, and, as a result the slack time on the moved operation increases. You can compress the slack of all the operations of an order automatically by reducing queue times. Refer to Queue time compression compression. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Planning Related
Next Operation | The operation after the current operation. If this field is 0 (zero), this operation is the end operation. Related topics Network routings
Task | The task that is performed in the operation. If anything is reported on the operation, you cannot change the task anymore.
Work Center | The work center in which the operation is carried out. You can only change the work center if the operation has one of the following statuses: Planned Ready to Start You cannot change the work center if some quantities have already been reported completed. You cannot change another type of work station into a line station. You can only change a subcontracting work station if purchase orders have not yet been generated.
Machine | The machine on which the operation is performed. Default value The default for this field is the Machine field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. This field is irrelevant in the case of a non-machine task. You can modify this field. If, for example, the machine is overloaded or must be repaired, it may be necessary to move the operation to another machine.
Lead Times and Start Date
Fixed Duration | If this check box is selected, the operation has a fixed duration, and its production time does not depend on the batch size. If an operation has a fixed duration, ERP LN applies the following formula to calculate the run time:
    run time = cycle time / routing quantity
If this check box is cleared, the formula that ERP LN uses to calculate the run time is as follows:
    run time = (cycle time * quantity planned input) / routing quantity
Transfer Batch Less Than Production 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. You must enter a value 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, you must type a quantity in the Transfer Batch Qty field. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Transfer Batch Qty | Enter a transfer batch quantity, if you selected the Transfer Batch Less Than Production Batch check box. If the Transfer Batch Method field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is Quantity, you must type a quantity. If the Transfer Batch Method field is Percentage, you must type a percentage. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Fixed Planning Dates | If this check box is selected, ERP LN uses fixed planning dates, and the operation will not be shifted due to changes in other operations. If this check box is cleared, the operations can be shifted Select the Shift Planning option on the Specific menu to start the Shift Production Planning (tisfc1202m000) session, which you can use to plan the operation to another date.
Late | Indicator that displays whether the move start date of the operation falls after the requested delivery date of the production order.
Start Date
Transport To | The date on which the item is transferred from the sending warehouse of the previous operation. This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support. Related topics To subcontract operations (manufacturer's side)
Queue Start Date | The queue time of the current operation as you defined it in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. Click the Automated Queue Time Compression option on the Specific menu of the Production Planning (tisfc0110m000) session to start the session which you can use to reduce the planned queue time. Related topics Queue time compression Lead times in Manufacturing
Setup + Run Start Date | The date and time on which ERP LN plans to start the production time. If you alter the date and/or time of the Remainder field, ERP LN recalculates the value of the Setup + Run field. The start date of the operation is copied from planned production orders, which are generated in Enterprise Planning, when the orders are transferred from Enterprise Planning to Shop Floor Control. If the production order is transferred from the session in Production Order Advice (whina3100m000) in Warehouse Management, ERP LN copies the start date of the operation from that session. When you manually enter an order in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session, ERP LN calculates the value of the Setup + Run field using the lead-time elements of the operation that you specified in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session.
Remainder | 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. If you selected the Fixed Planning Dates check box, you can use this field to change the date you plan to start or resume an 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 | The date and time on which the setup and run time of the operation are planned to finish, and the wait time is planned to start. for the production order. Note The wait start date is calculated in the Shop Floor Control (SFC) module.
Move | The date and time on which the wait time is planned to finish, and the move time is planned to start. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)
Transport From | Date on which the item is transferred from the receiving warehouse, that is, the warehouse of the subcontracting work center. This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support. Related topics To subcontract operations (manufacturer's side)
Transport To (Next Oper.) | Date on which the item is transferred from the sending warehouse of the current operation. This field is relevant in case of operation subcontracting with material flow support. Related topics To subcontract operations (manufacturer's side)
Queue (Next Operation) or Planned Delivery Date | If this operation is followed by other operations, this field displays the Queue (Next Operation) field. If this operation is the last operation, this field displays the Planned Delivery Date field. These fields are defined as follows Queue (Next Operation) The date and time on which the queue time of the next operation is planned to start. If the item is not sent to and from a subcontractor, this date and time equals the moment on which the move time of the operation is planned to end. Planned Delivery Date The date when you plan to deliver the item produced by the production order. For more information, see To determine on order dates.
Setup+Run (Next Oper.) or Requested Delivery Date | If this operation is followed by other operations, this field displays the Setup+Run (Next Oper.) field. If this operation is the last operation, this field displays the Requested Delivery Date field. These fields are defined as follows Setup+Run (Next Oper.) The date and time on which the queue time of the next operation is planned to finish, and the setup and run time of the next operation is planned to start. If you selected the Transfer Batch Less Than Production 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 (Next Oper.) field of the first operation is equal to time and date in the Queue (Next Operation) field. Requested Delivery Date The date that the customer has requested the production order. If a production order, originating from a sales order, is transferred from Enterprise Planning, the requested delivery date equals the sales order delivery date minus the warehouse inbound, warehouse outbound, safety time and extra lead time. These four lead times cause a difference between the sales order delivery date and the planned delivery date. For more information, see To determine on order dates. Related topics Production order lead-times (transfer batch quantity)

The setup time is not included in the man hours' required capacity for the order operation and the required man hours for the work center. This affects the man hours displayed on the work center utilization reports and the resource order plan. The setup time is not included in the estimated man hours and is not included in the calculation of operation costs for man capacity work centers. The setup time is used in calculating operation schedules.
Production Rate | The production rate of the number of products produced per unit of time. You can use a different production rate for different orders. If you change the value of this field, ERP LN changes the value of production time. That means that you can use this field as an alternative way of entering the operation production time. If you click the Calculate Production Rate option on the Specific menu, ERP LN calculates the production rate, using the cycle time of the operation. This is only possible if the Use Production Rates check box in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session is selected. Note Whether the production rate is expressed in hours or minutes is shown in the next field. You can alter that in the Production Rate Time Unit field in the Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) session.

Subcontracting Rate Factor | ERP LN uses this field and the subcontracting rate to calculate subcontracting costs. You can define the subcontracting rate in the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session. This field only applies if you selected the Operation Rate option in the Calculation Method for Subcontracting Costs field of the Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1160m000) session for calculation of the subcontracting costs. Related topics Operation subcontracting without material flow support Subcontracting rates Examples of subcontracting rates
Qty Returned from Subcontracting | The quantity received on the basis of a subcontracting order.
Planned Quantities
Yield Type | The yield type of the operation.
Quantity Planned Input | The quantity planned input planned to start the operation with. If you alter the scrap or yield values in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session, ERP LN recalculates this field to maintain the quantity planned output. Related topics Planned quantity to manufacture Calculating estimated quantity Example of estimating materials
Inventory Unit Main Item | The inventory unit in which quantities of the main item are expressed.
Yield | The percentage of yield expected in the operation. If you decrease the yield, ERP LN increases the quantity planned input to keep the quantity planned output the same. Related topics Scrap and yield Yield

Scrap Quantity | The quantity of scrap expected in the operation. If you increase the scrap, ERP LN increases the quantity planned input to keep the quantity planned output the same. Related topics Scrap and yield Scrap
Count Point | If this check box is selected, the operation is a count point. Default value The default for this check box is the Count Point check box in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. For each operation it is determined if it is a count point. This is incorporated as a default in the order planning. You can modify this check box, until the operation has been reported completed. Related topics Reporting operations as completed
DMS on Completion | If this check box is selected, direct material supply (DMS) planning will be run when the operation is reported complete. Related topics Direct material supply (DMS)
Actual Quantities
Quantity Completed | The quantity of items reported as completed, or the quantity on which the operation has been performed for the current operation. ERP LN cannot change the corresponding value if the operation status is Blocked. Related topics Reporting operations as completed
Quantity Completed of Semi-Finished Product | The quantity of semifinished items that is reported as completed. ERP LN can only fill this field if the operation is linked to an item defined as a phantom in the bill of material (BOM). Related topics Reporting main item or semifinished item quantities
Quantity Rejected | The quantity that does not reach quality standards for this operation. ERP LN cannot change the corresponding value if the operation status is Blocked. Related topics Reporting quantities as completed and rejected
Quantity Planned Rejects | The quantity that is planned to disappear in the operation as a result of limited yield. ERP LN needs the quantity of planned rejects when an operation is reported completed, and it automatically calculates the quantity completed. The quantity of the planned rejects depends on the setting of the Yield Type field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session: If you set the Yield Type field to Discrete, the quantity of the planned rejects is 0 (zero) by default. If you set the Yield Type field to Continuous, ERP LN applies the following formula to calculate the quantity of the planned rejects: Related topics Scrap and yield Yield type and quantity extra
Planned Rejects Semi-Finished Product | The quantity that is planned to disappear in the operation as a result of limited yield. ERP LN can only fill this field if the operation is linked to an item defined as a phantom in the bill of material (BOM). The quantity of total semifinished items includes scrap, reduced yield and rejected items. ERP LN needs the quantity of planned rejects semi-finished when an operation linked to a phantom item is reported completed, and it automatically calculates the quantity completed semi-finished. The quantity of the planned rejects semi-finished depends on the setting of the Yield Type field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session: If you set the Yield Type field to Discrete, the quantity of the planned rejects is 0 (zero) by default. If you set the Yield Type field to Continuous, ERP LN applies the following formula to calculate the quantity of the planned rejects semi-finished: Example Main item BIKE has two phantom items WHEEL. As a result, the operation to produce the wheels has a quantity ratio semifinished of 2. In case of a production order of 3 bikes, and a calculated planned rejects of 1 on an operation for WHEEL on this order, the quantity planned rejects semifinished for the same operation is:
    1 * 2 = 2
Quantity of Item by End Item | The ratio of semifinished items to end items produced in this operation. If you defined the operated item as a phantom in the bill of material, ERP LN takes into account the ratio of the Quantity of Item by End Item field to convert semifinished item quantities that are reported completed to main item quantities.
Backflushing
Backflush Hours | If this check box is selected, hours are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation. 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. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed. 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
Quantity to Backflush | The quantity of items, whose components and/or hours still have to be backflushed. If you backflush quantities, they are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.
Quantity Backflushed | The quantity of end products included in the total order quantity for which the components and/or hours have been posted using backflushing. If you backflush quantities, they are posted automatically when an operation is completed. The quantity is based on the hours estimated to be necessary to complete an operation rather than the actual number of hours worked on the operation or the materials estimated for an operation.
