| # Estimated vs. Actual Hours Costs (ticst0505s000) Use this session to display the production order's estimated versus the actual hours costs. The actual hours costs are posted and processed from the People. Related topics Order planning and order calculation Production order postings Hours accounting procedure Production Order An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date. Production Order The production order's order status. Operation One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation: The task. For example, sawing. The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine. The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork. The number of employees required to carry out the task. This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices. Task An activity to manufacture or repair an item. For example, sawing, drilling, or painting. A task is carried out on a work center, and can be related to a machine. Work Center A specific production area consisting of one or more people and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling. Machine The machine on which the task is carried out. Currency Your company's reference currency that is defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session.

The services are delivered via a purchase order. Subcontracting Rate Factor The subcontracting rate factor, together with the subcontracting base rate, determines the cost of subcontracting. Slash Character The inventory unit, which is defined in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session of the item on the production order. Setup Time [Min] The time required for setting up or changing over a machine before you start running the machine. Setup time can be long, for example, if you change over from using black paint to using white paint. Setup time can be short, for example, if you change over from using white paint to using yellow paint. The setup time must indicate an average of all possible setup times. Quantity Planned The quantity that is planned to be produced. Cycle Time [Min] In ERP Enterprise, the time between completion of two separate units of production. For example, the cycle time of motors assembled at a rate of 120 per hour is 30 seconds, or with Machine Occupancy of two, 120 minutes to complete two unites. The cycle time for this machine is 60 minutes; the total time it takes to complete the units is divided by the quantity of units the machine can handle at once. The time required to process a quantity of an item during a certain operation. The quantity for which the cycle time is defined is the routing unit. Cycle time does not include setup time. Quantity Completed The quantity that is already completed. Production Rate The quantity of items that is produced for a specific time unit. Example The production rate can be, for example, 300 gallons per hour, or 20 pieces per minute. Quantity Rejected The rejected quantity. Man Occupation for Production The number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation. The number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation's setup is displayed in the Man Occupation for Setup field. Scrap quantity Unusable material or rejects of intermediate products, for example, because of faulty components, or products lost in cutting or sawing operations. The gross material requirements and/or an operation's input quantity must be increased to account for anticipated scrap. In the BOM, you can define scrap as a percentage of the net material requirements, which is the scrap factor, and as a fixed quantity, which is the scrap quantity. A scrap quantity is mostly used to define the amount of material that is lost every time when you start producing, for example, to test the equipment. For an operation, you can only define the scrap as a fixed quantity. Related topics Scrap and yield Machine Occupation The number of machines that are needed to carry out the operation. Yield The usable output from a operation expressed as a percentage of its input. Example 1: An operation in the production process for light bulbs has a yield of 98%. So, out of every 100 light bulbs produced, 98 are good on average. The remaining light bulbs are faulty, and will therefore be rejected. Example 2: Steel wires are twisted together to produce a steel cable. Due to the twisting, the cable is 10% shorter than the wires from which it is produced. So, the yield is set to 90%. Related topics Scrap and yield Operation Rate Code The operation rate's code. Cumulative Scrap The total sum of the operations' scrap quantities, taking into account the yield percentages involved. The cumulative scrap is required in recalculations after you changed the estimated production order quantity. Quantities cannot just be multiplied by the change factor because the scrap quantity contains a fixed part related to setup activities. Man Occupation for Setup The number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation's setup. The number of persons that is needed to accomplish the operation is displayed in the Man Occupation for Production field. Fixed Duration An indication whether the production time is fixed, or is dependent on the order quantity. If the production time has a fixed duration, then it equals the cycle time. If it is indicated that the production time does not have a fixed duration, the cycle time is multiplied by the order quantity. For example, baking one bread in the oven takes one hour. Baking a hundred breads at once also takes a fixed duration of one hour. If this check box is selected, the duration of an operation is fixed, and its production time does not depend on the batch size.
     Production time =
    			 setup time + (1 * cycle time)
Costing Work Center A work center, when linked to a planning work center, that is used to calculate the end item unit costs, WIP transfers, and production results. The financial transactions related to production orders are then posted to the costing work center. The link between a costing work center and a planning work center enables you to replan production order operations. If required, you can change the work center that is used to carry out an operation without disturbing the costing process. Man Hours (Setup) The estimated man hours spent on the operation's setup. Man Hours (Setup) The actual man hours spent on the operation's setup. Machine Hours (Setup) The estimated machine hours spent on the operation's setup. Machine Hours (Setup) The actual machine hours spent on the operation's setup. |
