| # Manufacturing Control This topic lists the differences topics for Manufacturing between Infor LN 10.2.0 and Infor LN 10.2.1. Changed functionality in Production Order Distribution Production Warehouse Order Distribution Infor LN 10.2.0 In Infor LN 10.2.0 project pegging for production orders was added to support linking demand to specific projects. This was required for costing purposes. In Infor LN 10.2.0 the project peg information was added to the Use this session to control material and end items that are sent from the warehouse to the shop floor, and back. In this session, you can issue, return, or cancel items in a detailed way, which is especially important in case of serialized items or lot controlled items. Every material or end item transaction that results in a warehouse order is reflected by a production warehouse order in this session. You can select in the View menu which production warehouse orders you want to view: The production warehouse orders for the End Item. The production warehouse orders for the Material, which are sorted by material position number. Note If you want to control warehouse handling of material and end items in a less detailed way, you can use the following sessions: Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) Report Orders Completed (tisfc0120s000) Detailed control of warehouse handling In this session, the detailed warehouse handling of material and end items enables you to: Make a difference between canceling a quantity that is still in the warehouse, and returning a redundant quantity from the shop floor to the warehouse. Return a specific lot code or serial number to the warehouse. This is useful if multiple lots or serial numbers are in the warehouse for a specific material or production order. Specify different planned issue dates or receipt dates for a material or a production order. The planned inventory transactions reflect the different dates. Consequently, the MRP planning will result in a more accurate material planning. Restart automatic processing, if you use automatic processing of warehouse orders (the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected), and previous automatic processing was not successful, for example, due to a shortage. Select a different warehouse procedure when using return orders. How to use this session In the Material view, you can issue, cancel, or return material quantities in the session's heading as well as in the lines, for a specific production warehouse order. To handle quantities in the header If you want to issue material from the warehouse, carry out the following steps: Type the quantity that you want to issue in the header in the To Issue field. In the appropriate menu, click Process. If you typed a quantity in the To Issue field that is less than the ordered quantity, a new production warehouse order can be created. To continue the material handling process, select the appropriate production warehouse order, and choose the next action in the procedure in the appropriate menu, for example, Initiate Inventory Issue. If you want to return or cancel a material quantity, you must also enter the quantity in respectively the To Return field or the To Cancel field in the header, and then click Process in the appropriate menu. To handle quantities in the lines If you have to deal with serialized or lot-controlled items, you must handle your material in a more detailed way. You can choose, for example, to sent an item with a specific serial number back from the shop floor to the warehouse. Therefore, you must double-click the appropriate warehouse production order, so that the details session is started. In the details session, you can indicate the serial number of the item that you want to return. Multiple production warehouse orders In the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session, production warehouse orders are listed for a specific production order. A production warehouse order can relate to: A planned inventory transaction in the Order - Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1501m000) session. If the production order is at least released: A warehouse order line in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session and the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. The following sections provide examples of multiple production warehouse orders, for example in case of subsequent deliveries or unit effective items. To issue - Subsequent delivery There are two production orders, one for issue and one for subsequent delivery. These two production warehouse orders initially have the same allocation date, but you can change the allocation date manually in the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session. Order distribution An order distribution as defined in the Order Distribution (tisfc0105m000) session can result in multiple production warehouse orders. This is the case if the end item or material is defined as Lot Controlled in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, and the Lots in Inventory check box is selected in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. One production warehouse order is generated for every involved effectivity unit. If the end item or material is not Lot Controlled, the full quantity of the production order or material is recorded for effectivity unit 0 (zero), so in that case only one production warehouse order is present. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session, also only one production warehouse order is present. Related topics Overview of material issue Direct processing of material shortages line through: Distribution Line Project Element Activity Eff Unit There was no distribution below the Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session. This resulted in the need to process multiple inbound and outbound order lines in the event an end item was the recipient for multiple pegs or if one material was issued to multiple pegs. Infor LN 10.2.1 The Production Warehouse Order Distribution (timfc0105m000) was added to facilitate the storing of project pegs for material issues and end item receipts for production orders with distribution lines containing project pegs. For Infor LN 10.2.1 a distribution has been added below Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) session to reduce the number of outbound/inbound lines. The distribution does not contain an effectivity unit, but only the project peg attributes. Because the number of effectivity units per production order is restricted to one with project pegging implemented. The number of product warehouse orders is independent of the number of distribution lines. A combination of lines with and without effectivity units is no longer possible; all lines for one order will now have the same effectivity unit. When a production order distribution containing project pegs is created only one production warehouse order is generated for each distribution line. This applies to both production order distributions lines as to material distribution lines. If an order is project pegged, a material does not inherit the project pegs but material distribution lines are created because of the presence of an effectivity unit. In this case no production warehouse order distribution is created. If an order has a distribution line without project peg, a production warehouse order distribution is created when there are other lines with project pegs. When the end item receipts or material issues are done, more production warehouse orders may be created because of partial receipts or issues. The production warehouse order distribution of these production warehouse orders will only contain lines for distribution lines on which materials are received or issued. For the creation of inbound and outbound lines for production orders and the creation of warehouse orders in Warehousing production warehouse orders are needed. For different order/material distribution lines, only one sequence number is created in for project pegged production orders. Related topics Pegging in Manufacturing - Overview |
