Production Order Maintenance

Form ID: (AM201500)

You use this form to create a production order and to initiate transactions for the production order that is selected on the form. You can also view links to other documents that are related to the production order and review the production costs for the order. In addition, you can view the event log for the production order.

If the item to be produced is lot- or serial-tracked, you can also preassign lot or serial numbers to the units of the item. This functionality is available only if the Lot and Serial Tracking feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

If you need to view the details of a production order, such as the list of operations or materials that are included in the order, you should use the Production Order Details (AM209000) form.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.


Command	Description
Allocation Details	Opens the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form and copies the stock item from the Inventory ID box and a warehouse from the Warehouse box to the corresponding boxes on the form.
Attributes	Opens the Production Attributes (AM401500) form for the production order.
Cancel Order	Cancels the production order, zeroes out the balance of the WIP GL account, and creates a WIP adjustment transaction on the WIP Adjustment (AM308000) form to write off any balance to the WIP Variance account. In addition, the system removes any open material allocations or supply allocations related to the order. Because this command cannot be reverted, before you cancel the order, you should determine any transactions that should be created to return materials to stock, reverse any labor transactions, or report scrap. As an alternative, if the order has a status of Released, you can change the status to Planned and delete it. This command is available only if the production order has a status of Released, In Process, or Completed.
Close Order	Opens the Close Production Orders (AM506000) form for the production order. The system removes any open material allocations or supply allocations related to the order. Before you close the order, you should review the order totals and reconcile any balances. This command is available only if the production order has a status of Completed. Attention: When the Lock Production Orders Before Closing check box is selected on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form, production orders with the Locked status are displayed on the Close Production Orders (AM506000) form. Clicking Close Order changes the production order status from Locked to Closed.
Complete Order	Changes the status of the production order to Completed. In a standard process, the system assigns a production order the Completed status when the recorded quantity of completed items is greater than or equal to the quantity to produce in the order. But you may need to change the status of the production order to Completed even if only a partial quantity of completed items has been produced. You can still post transactions to an order that is completed, but they will not affect the unit cost of items that were previously moved to inventory. Any unfulfilled material allocations will remain open until users record the completion of additional items or until the order is closed. This command is available only if the production order has a status of In Process.
Create Labor Transaction	Opens the Labor (AM301000) form in a new window and creates a labor transaction for the first incomplete operation of the production order selected on the form. This command is available only if the production order has a status of Released, In Process or Completed.
Create Move Transaction	Opens the Move (AM302000) form with the appropriate settings copied from the production order to the move transaction. This command is available only if the production order has a status of Released, In Process or Completed.
Create Production Orders	Opens the Create Production Orders (AM510000) form and copies to the table the materials of the current production order for which the Mark for Production check box is selected on the Production Order Details (AM209000) form. You can use this command when you need to create multiple production orders for the materials to be produced.
Create Purchase Orders	Opens the Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) form and copies to the table the materials of the current production order for which the Mark for PO check box is selected on the Production Order Details (AM209000) form. You can use this command when you need to create multiple purchase orders for materials of the production order to be purchased.
Critical Material	Opens the Critical Materials (AM401000) form and populates the list of materials with the materials of the current production order that are not available in stock. If all the required materials of the current production order are available in stock, the form will be opened but list of materials will be empty.

Qty. Scrapped	The quantity of item units that have been recorded as scrap in labor or move transactions for the production order.
Qty. Remaining	The remaining quantity of the item units to be produced. The system calculates this quantity as follows: `Quantity to Produce - Completed Quantity - Scrapped Quantity`.
Schedule Status	The schedule status of the production order. The system specifies the schedule status based on whether the production order has been scheduled on the Rough Cut Planning (AM501000) form. The box contains one of the following schedule statuses: Scheduled: The production order has been scheduled. Unscheduled: The production order has not been scheduled yet. Firm: The production order has been firmed; that is, the system ignores this production order during rescheduling. This box is displayed only when the Advanced Planning and Scheduling feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
Scheduling Method	The method the system uses to schedule the production order. You can select one of the following methods: Finish On: The system backward-schedules the production order starting at the date specified in the Constraint Date box. Production orders with this method have the highest priority during scheduling because the production orders must be completed by the specific date. Start On: The system forward-schedules the production order starting on the date specified in the Constraint Date box. Production orders with this method have the second highest priority because only the start date of the production is specified. User Dates: You specify the start and end dates of the production order manually in the Start Date and End Date boxes of this tab. That is, you can override the manufacturing lead times or use any calendar dates, including non-working days.
Constraint Date	The date on which the item production must be either completed (if Finish On is selected in the Scheduling Method box) or started (if Start On is selected in the Scheduling Method box). By default, the system inserts the current business date in this box. The box is available only when Finish On or Start On is selected in the Scheduling Method box.
Start Date	The date on which the item production for the production order should start. If the Finish On or Start On scheduling method is selected, this date is filled in automatically and cannot be changed. If the User Dates scheduling method is selected, you should specify the date manually.
End Date	The date on which the item production for the production order should be completed. If the Finish On or Start On scheduling method is selected, this date is filled in automatically and cannot be changed. If the User Dates scheduling method is selected, you should specify the date manually.
Use Fixed Mfg Lead Times for Order Dates	A check box that indicates (if selected) that to calculate the start and end dates of the production order, the system uses the value in the MFG Lead Time box on the Manufacturing tab of one of the following forms: Stock Items (IN202500) if the item to be produced does not have item–warehouse settings Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) if the item to be produced has warehouse-specific settings—that is, it will be stored in a particular warehouse If the check box is cleared, the system uses the duration times of the operations to calculate the start and end dates of the production order. The state of this check box is copied from the Use Fixed Manufacturing Times check box on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form. You can override the default state for the production order if needed.
Use Order Start Date for MRP	A check box that indicates (if selected) that during material requirements planning, the system requires materials to be available used for all operations of the production order on the start date of the production order. If the check box is cleared, the system requires materials on the start date of the operation in which the materials are used.
Exclude from MRP	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the items in the production order and the materials required for item production are excluded from material requirements planning (MRP). If the check box is cleared, the system includes the production order in MRP. By default, the state of this check box is copied from the check box with the same name on the Production Order Types (AM201100) form. You can override the default state for the production order if needed.
Automatic Backward Reporting	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the operations for this production order must be reported sequentially. If the check box is cleared, when the quantity of completed items is entered on the Labor (AM301000) form or Move (AM302000) form, the system reports it only in the selected operation. By default, the state of the check box is copied from the check box with the same name on the Production Order Types (AM201100) form. You can override the default state for the production order if needed.
Dispatch Priority	The scheduling priority of the production order, which can be a number from 1 to 10, where 1 is the highest priority and 10 is the lowest priority.
Costing Method	The costing method, which determines how the system calculates costs for produced items of this production order when it creates production receipts that record the movement of produced items to a warehouse. The costing method can be one of the following: Actual: Item costs are calculated by dividing the WIP balance by the quantity of completed items. Estimated: Item costs are calculated by using a combination of actual and planned costs to account for transactions that may not have been posted. Standard: The system uses the standard cost of the item to be produced. For items with the valuation method of Standard specified on the Stock Items (IN202500) form, this method is selected automatically and is unavailable for editing. For items with a valuation method other than Standard, the system copies the default method from the settings of the production order type assigned to the production order.
Scrap Override	A check box that indicates (if selected) that you can change the default values in the Scrap Warehouse and Scrap Location boxes, which have been copied from the Production Order Types (AM201100) form. This check box is available unless the order has the Closed or Canceled status.
Scrap Warehouse	The destination warehouse when the scrap is quarantined. This box is available only when all of the following are true: The Scrap Override check box is selected. The production order does not have the Closed or Canceled status. The Multiple Warehouses feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
Scrap Location	The destination warehouse location when the scrap is quarantined. This box is available only when all of the following are true: The Scrap Override check box is selected. The production order does not have the Closed or Canceled status. The Multiple Warehouse Locations feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
Allow Preassigning Lot/Serial Numbers	A check box that indicates (if selected) that you need to specify the lot or serial numbers for the units of the item before you release the production order. Attention: You can preassign lot or serial numbers only when they are assigned to a lot or serial class that has the When Received assignment method selected on the Lot/Serial Classes (IN207000) form. The default state of the check box is copied from the production order type settings on the Production Order Types (AM201100) form. This box is visible only if the Lot and Serial Tracking feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form.
Require Parent Lot/Serial Number	An indicator of whether and when the system verifies that the lot or serial number of the parent item is specified for lot- or serial-tracked materials. You can select any of the following options: Never (default): You select this option if the assignment of lot or serial numbers of the parent item to lot- or serial-tracked materials is not needed or if most produced items do not contain lot- or serial-tracked materials. On Issue: You select this option if you must assign the lot or serial number of each produced item to lot- or serial-tracked materials when you release a material transaction on the Materials (AM300000) form. The system will not release the transaction until you assign the lot or serial number of the produced item to each lot- or serial-tracked material. Note: With this option, backflushing of lot- or serial-tracked materials is not supported because a lot or serial number must be assigned to the parent item when the materials are issued. On Completion: You select this option if you must assign the lot or serial number of each produced item to lot- or serial-tracked materials before you move the produced items in stock through the release of the appropriate transaction on the last operation. To assign the lot or serial numbers of the produced item to its materials after the materials have been issued, you use the Late Assignment (AM312000) form. You must assign the lot or serial number of the produced item to each material to be able to release the transaction, which is a move transaction on the Move form or a labor transaction with a positive produced quantity on the Labor form. This box is available only when the Allow Preassigning Lot/Serial Numbers check box is selected. The default option in this box is copied from the production order type settings on the Production Order Types (AM201100) form.

Attributes Tab

This tab displays the attributes of the production order. The system copies the attributes that are specified in the settings of the entity on which the production order is based and which is specified in the Source box of the References tab (such as a bill of material). Also, the system copies the attributes that are specified on the Attributes tab of the Production Order Types (AM201100) form for the production order type specified in the Order Type box of the Summary area. You cannot remove these attributes from the production order.

You can also add attributes to this tab manually. You can modify or delete these attributes.

The table toolbar includes only standard buttons. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar.


Element	Description
Level	The level at which the attribute is specified. The level can be one of the following: Order: Related to the entire production order Operation: Related to a particular operation of the production order
Operation ID	The identifier of the operation of the production order. The operation ID is specified if the attribute level is Operation.
Source	The source of the attribute. The source can be one of the following: BOM: Copied from the bill of material that was used as a source for the production order Production: Added manually to the production order or operation Configuration: Copied from the product configuration that was used as a source for the production order Order Type: Copied from the production order type specified in the Order Type box of the Summary area
Attribute ID	The attribute identifier.
Label	The unique label that identifies the attribute.

If the check box is cleared, the attribute value can be specified in a production transaction regardless of the transaction status.
Value	The default attribute value.

Totals Tab

This tab displays the planned, actual, and variance amounts for each of the cost drivers of the production order and for the entire order.

Table 7. Planned SectionIn this section, you can view the planned labor time, quantity, and costs of the production order.
Element	Description
Labor Time	The labor time, which the system calculates as follows: For each operation, the system multiplies the time required to produce one item unit by the quantity to produce and adds the setup time; then the system sums the times for all operations. This time does not include the machine time.
Labor	The sum of the planned fixed and variable labor costs that are applied to the production order.
Machine	The planned machine costs.
Material	The planned cost of materials, excluding materials with a material type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Purchase, Ship to Vendor, or Vendor Supplied.
Tool	The planned tool costs.
Fixed Overhead	The sum of fixed overhead costs.
Variable Overhead	The sum of planned variable overhead costs.
Subcontract	The planned cost of materials with a material type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Purchase or Ship to Vendor.
Qty to Produce	The item quantity that is initially intended to be produced.
Plan Total	The total planned cost of the production order.
Unit Cost	The planned cost of an item unit, which the system calculates as follows: `Planned Total Cost / Quantity to Produce`.
Plan Cost Date	The date when the system calculated the planned costs of the production order.
Ref. Material	The cost of materials with a material type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Vendor Supplied. The cost of these items is not included in the cost of the production order and is specified for informational purposes.

Table 8. Actual SectionIn this section, you can view actual costs of the production order, that is, the costs that the system has calculated based on released production transactions for the production order.
Element	Description
Labor Time	The actual labor time that users have recorded for this production order.
Labor	The actual labor cost, which the system calculates based on the actual labor time and fixed and variable labor costs.
Machine	The actual machine costs.
Material	The actual costs of the materials that were issued for the production order, excluding materials with a material type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Purchase, Ship to Vendor, or Vendor Supplied.
Tool	The actual tool costs.
Fixed Overhead	The actual cost of fixed overhead.
Variable Overhead	The actual cost of variable overhead.
Subcontract	The actual cost of materials with a material type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Purchase or Ship to Vendor.
Qty Complete	The item quantity that has been recorded as completed and moved to inventory.
Adjustments	The total amount of the adjustment transactions that have been released for the production order on the WIP Adjustment (AM308000) form.
Scrap	The actual cost of scrap recorded for the production order.
WIP Total	The sum of all the costs that have been applied to the production order.
MFG to Inventory	The cost of the produced items that have been moved to inventory. The difference between the WIP Total and MFG to Inventory amounts represents the open balance of the WIP account, which is displayed in the WIP Balance box of the Variance section.

Table 9. Variance SectionIn this section, you can view variances between the planned and actual labor time and costs of the production order.
Element	Description
Labor Time	The variance between the planned and actual labor time.
Labor	The variance between the planned and actual labor costs.

Fixed Overhead	The variance between the planned and actual fixed overhead costs.
Variable Overhead	The variance between the planned and actual variable overhead costs.
Subcontract	The variance between the planned and actual costs of materials with a type of Subcontract and a subcontract source of Purchase or Ship to Vendor.
Qty Remaining	The remaining quantity of items to be produced. The system calculates this quantity as follows: `Quantity to Produce - Quantity Complete - Quantity Scrapped`.
Total Variance	The variance between the planned and actual costs of the production order. The system calculates the variance as follows: `Plan Total - WIP Total`.
WIP Balance	The balance of the Work in Process GL account, which is the difference between the total actual cost of the production order and the total cost of produced items that were moved to inventory. The system calculates the WIP balance as follows: `WIP Total - MFG to Inventory`.
