| # Production Warehouse Orders (timfc0101m000) 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 Production Order Production Order An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date. Production Order Status The status assigned to a production order, which indicates how far a production order has been processed. For example, Planned, Documents Printed, or Released. Allowed values Possible values Related topics Production order status General Material . Position The position number of the production order's material. 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. Warehouse The warehouse of a material (in the Material view), or an end item (in the End Item view). Action To Issue The material quantity that is issued from the warehouse to the shop floor. Subs Dlv The material quantity that will be issued at a future date or time. To Cancel If the Blocked check box is cleared, you cannot manually change the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field anymore to cancel a specific quantity to be issued from the warehouse. Instead, you must cancel the quantity by carrying out the steps that are described below. Note You can only cancel an item quantity if the item is used as a material. You cannot cancel a quantity of end items in this session. You can only cancel a material quantity if the warehouse order status is not yet Shipped. Furthermore, the actual quantity that is already issued must be less than the ordered quantity. Enter the quantity that you want to cancel in the To Cancel field in the header , or in the Quantity to Cancel field for a specific production warehouse order. For example, if the ordered quantity for a specific material is 8, but you need only 6, you must enter 2 in the To Cancel field. If a material distribution is present, you must cancel the quantity on the appropriate production warehouse orders. If there is no material distribution, you can cancel the quantity in the To Cancel in the header. In the appropriate menu, click Process. The ordered quantity is corrected in Warehousing. Whether the corrected ordered quantity is displayed in this session depends on how far the warehouse outbound procedure has already progressed: If the warehouse outbound procedure has not started yet, or is in an early stage, the ordered quantity of the appropriate production warehouse order is adjusted: The quantity that you typed in the To Cancel field is subtracted from the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field, and the To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero). If the warehouse outbound procedure is already too advanced, the Quantity Ordered for the production warehouse order is not adjusted anymore. However, the canceled quantity is displayed in the Quantity Canceled field so that warehouse employees know that this quantity does not need to be picked in the warehouse. The To Cancel field is set back to 0 (zero). Note If the Blocked is selected, you can manually change the ordered quantity, directly in the Quantity Ordered field. You do not need to carry out the canceling procedure described above. To Return The number of items that you want to return from the shop floor to the warehouse, or the number of end items that you want to recall from the warehouse to the shop floor. After entering the return quantity, click Process in the appropriate menu to start the return process. If the Multiple Lots check box and/or the Multiple Serials check box is selected, you must specify lot number(s) and/or serial number(s) to indicate which lot or serialized item must be returned to the warehouse. Start the details session of a specific production warehouse order to do so. You can only use this field if no material distribution is present for the item. If a material distribution is present, you must use the Return Quantity field in the details session of a specific production warehouse order. For more information, refer to the Return Quantity field in the details session. Quantities Estimated The estimated material quantity that is required for the production order. Actual The material quantity that is issued from the warehouse, and received on the shop floor.

Methods Backflush If this check box is selected, backflushing is applied as method to issue the material. Direct Initiate 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 click Initiate Inventory Issue in the appropriate menu 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 Proc WH Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after the warehouse order line is unblocked.

Related topics Engineering items Warehouse A place for storing goods. For each warehouse, you can enter address data and data relating to its type. Date If the production warehouse order relates to end items, the date refers to the requested delivery date of the production order. If the production warehouse order relates to material, the date refers to when the material is required on the shop floor. Ownership Indicates if, and at which point in the supply chain, the ownership of goods changes from the supplier to the customer. Ownership changes also occur between departments or business units within an organization. When the ownership changes, payment is due. In traditional, non-VMI scenarios, the ownership of an item changes from the supplier to the customer after the customer has received the item from the supplier. The customer must pay for the item on receipt of the goods. In various subcontracting scenarios, ownership will not change during any of the inbound or outbound warehousing processes. In such cases, the ownership is customer owned. In vendor managed inventory (VMI) scenarios, the ownership can be consigned. If the ownership is consigned, the ownership change is either time based or consumption based. Consumption based The customer issues the goods to sell them or to consume them Time based Some time after: The customer receives the goods The last issue or receipt of the goods For time based ownership change, the period of time is laid down in the contract between the customer and the supplier.
