Production Order | The production order that uses the materials. Related topics Production orders - functional overview
Order Status | The order status of the production order.
Main Item | The item produced in the production order.
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 Main 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
Quantity Ordered | The order quantity to be produced. The estimates of materials and hours are based on this quantity.
Quantity Ordered | The inventory unit in which ERP LN expresses the quantity ordered.
Estimated Costs Are Frozen | If this check box is selected, the estimated materials cannot be changed anymore. At which specific moment ERP LN freezes the estimated costs depends on the value of the Moment Freezing Estimates field in the Production Orders (tisfc0101s000) session.
Backflush Materials | If this check box is selected, the materials for the production order are issued through backflushing. 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.

Material Quantity
Net Quantity | The quantity of a component or material that is theoretically required to make a certain quantity of a product. This quantity is referred to as the net quantity because in practice you may need more than this quantity to make up for certain losses of the material or the product. If you work with serialized items, this field's quantity can be less than expected. For more information, refer to Rework order procedure for serialized items. Related topics Calculating estimated quantity Estimated and actual material costs Rework order procedure for serialized items

Estimated Quantity | Estimated material quantity required to execute the production order. ERP LN calculates the estimated quantity according to the following formula:
    Estimated quantity = (net quantity * (1+ scrap factor/100%) + scrap quantity) * planned quantity factor
Net quantity: required material quantity, disregarding scrap and yield Scrap factor: scrap factor defined for the material in the BOM Scrap quantity: scrap quantity defined for the material in the BOM Planned quantity factor: quantity planned input of current operation/quantity planned output of last operation Related topics Calculating estimated quantity Example of estimating materials
To Issue | The allocations in the warehouse, that is, the blocked quantities in the warehouse order lines. Serialized items In case of a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, ERP LN by default puts the quantity to be issued in the Subsequent Delivery field. However, you can also anonymously issue a quantity of serialized items. This means that in Warehousing, the items' serial numbers are determined, such as by scanning a bar code. To do so, type the quantity to be issued in this field, and run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session. If there is still a quantity of serialized items left in the Subsequent Delivery field, ERP LN issues those items based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session.
Subsequent Delivery | The quantity in this field can relate to the following concepts: Backflushing If you use backflushing, the quantity to be backflushed is displayed in this field. This quantity is not taken into account when you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session. In Warehousing, the quantity is expressed as a blocked quantity in a warehouse order line. Manual issuing If the Manual Issuing check box in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected, the planned allocated quantity is displayed in this field. To issue, enter the required quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to Specify material to be issued. Serialized items If the item is a serialized item for which the Serials in Inventory check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session is selected, this field displays the quantity of the serialized item that must be issued. If you run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, ERP LN issues the quantity in this field based on the serial numbers entered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. Only the items for which you entered a serial number are issued; the rest of the item quantity stays in the Subsequent Delivery field. For example, if the quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field is 10, and for three items a serial numbers is available in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session, only these three items are issued. The quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field becomes 10 - 3 = 7. ERP LN puts the serialized item quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field for the purpose of issuing the items according to the serial numbers specified in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. To issue serialized items anonymously, enter that quantity in the To Issue field. For more information, refer to the To Issue field help. In case of a rework order, where a material line contains a serialized item that must be reworked, the end item with the correct serial number must be issued. The serial number is registered in the Serial End Item - As-Built Headers (timfc0110m000) session. For more information, refer to Rework order procedure for serialized items Note You cannot access this field in the following cases: When the operation is blocked for issue. When backflushing is used for the material; if so, the quantity in this field is the quantity to be backflushed.

Percentage Required | The percentage of raw material that must be available before the operation can be started.
Inventory Data
Inspection Order Status (QMS) | The status given by an inspection. Related topics Storage inspections
Issue Method
Backflush | If this check box is selected, backflushing is applied as the method to issue the material. Related topics Backflushing
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. Note Floor stock must always be issued with the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session. Related topics Overview of material issue
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
Reference Designators Present | If this check box is selected, one or more reference designators are present in the Reference Designators by Estimated Material (ticst0106m000) session. You cannot modify this check box. To view or maintain reference designators, click Reference Designators by Estimated Material. Related topics Overview of reference designators
Alternatives Present | If this check box is selected, one or more alternative materials are present in the Alternative Estimated Materials (ticst0150m000) session. You cannot modify this check box. To view or maintain alternative materials, click Alternative Estimated Materials. Related topics Alternative materials in BOMs
Allow Multiple Items | If this check box is selected, ERP LN can distribute the estimated quantity of the estimated material over multiple items. For example, the net quantity can be divided over the use-up material and the standard material or over the standard material and one or more alternative materials. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN issues only a single item for this BOM line for one production order. For examples, refer to To distribute a material requirement over multiple items. Related topics To use up remaining stock of outdated items Alternative materials in BOMs
Supplied by Subcontractor | If you subcontract one or more operations, or an item's entire production process, you can choose whether or not to send material to the subcontractor to use for the subcontracted item. If this check box is selected, the material is not sent to the subcontractor. The material is supplied by the subcontractor. If this check box is cleared, and the material is linked to a subcontracted operation, the material is sent to the subcontractor. Related topics Overview of subcontracting
