| # Items - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) Use this session to find, list, or maintain item-production default data for item types and item groups. Enter item groups in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session. Note If you enter an item in the Items - Production Defaults (tiipd0102m000) session, ERP LN retrieves the item-production data that is defined for the item type and/or item group that belongs to the item. Item Type Places the item in a group of items, so that certain functions of the package apply only to that item. Note You can only select the manufactured, purchased, or generic item type. Item Group Groups of items with common characteristics. Item groups can be used in combination with item types to store various types of data. When you record items that belong to a particular item type and group, the default values stored under the item type/group appear on the screen. BOM BOM Quantity Defines the number of manufactured items on which the item's bill of material is based. The current field enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components. Scrap Factor The percentage used to anticipate the loss of quantity in the manufacturing process of a product. Scrap Quantity The quantity used to anticipate the loss of quantity in the manufacturing process of a product. Related topics Scrap. Specify Warehouse in BOM If this check box is selected, and you define the bill of material (BOM), you must specify the warehouse for each component. As a result, when a dependent demand explosion is performed, the component items are supplied by the warehouse as defined for the BOM line in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) details session. If this check box is cleared, and consequently no warehouse is defined for the BOM line, the warehouse that is defined in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) details session supplies the component items that are determined in the dependent demand explosion. Phantom The default value for the Phantom field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Related topics Phantoms Use Phantom Inventory The default value for the Use Phantom Inventory field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Related topics Phantoms Issue Unlinked Materials At The default value for the Issue Unlinked Materials At field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Related topics Phantoms Link materials to operations Routing Order Lead Time Indicates how many workdays are required to manufacture the item before the item becomes available. Routing Quantity The 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. Quantity-dependent Routing If this check box is selected, ERP LN selects a particular routing. The selection depends on the order quantity, therefore, the operation times for an item can depend on the order quantity. Note This does not apply to generic items. Related topics Order quantity dependent routings Selection of routing to calculate costs Subcontracting with Material Flow The default value for the Subcontracting with Material Flow field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Methods Backflush Materials If this check box is selected, the components are issued through backflushing. 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 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 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 Direct Process Warehouse Order line If this check box is selected, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after that materials in the warehouse are unblocked. 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 carry out the rest of the warehousing procedure manually. 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. Related topics Overview of material issue Critical for Inventory Check This check box is the default value for the Critical for Inventory Check check box in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. 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 Repetitive Repetitive 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. It is produced anonymously. The production is based on a rate. The production is controlled through schedules. The lead time is relatively short. Schedule Code A repetitive item is produced in large quantities and is subject to repetitive demand. ERP LN handles the production of repetitive items through schedules, which have schedule codes. Note The schedule code is mandatory, and is defined in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. |
