Production Order Details

Form ID: (AM209000)

By using this form, you can view or modify the settings and details of a production order, including the lists of operations, materials, and tools. To make changes, you need to put the production order on hold.

Attention: Before you start modifying the operations of a production order that has the In Process status (which means that some transactions have already been released for the order), you need to estimate how the changes would affect the order workflow and costs. For example, if you add materials to an operation for which other materials have already been issued, you need to issue the new materials as well to apply their cost to the order.

For a new production order that is based on a bill of material, the system copies the operations (along with their settings) that are defined for the bill of material on the Bill of Material (AM208000) form.

On this form, you can also view costs for each operation.

That is, in these rows, Subcontract is specified in the Material Type column and Ship to Vendor is specified in the Subcontract Source column. Copy the vendor specified on the Outside Process tab of the lower table to the Vendor box of the created vendor shipment. Attention: If no vendor is specified on the Outside Process tab for the operation on the Production Order Details (AM209000) form, the system leaves the Vendor box empty, and you have to specify the vendor manually. Open the vendor shipment on the Vendor Shipments (AM310000) form.

Table 2. Table ColumnsIn this table, you can view and edit the list of operations in the production order. You specify the format of the time boxes in the Operation Time Format box of the BOM Preferences (AM101000) form. Regardless of the default format, you can enter the time as 0:00 (hh:mm).
Column	Description
Operation ID	The operation identifier, which must be unique within the production order. When the production order is created, the system assigns this identifier to each operation that was copied. If you add an operation row, you type the identifier manually. Attention: When a user creates a production order, the system generates operation identifiers, which may differ from those in the bill of material on which the order is based. During the generation of operation IDs for the production order, the system maintains the order of operations specified in the bill of material. In the production order, the system assigns 0010 as the identifier of the first operation and then increases the identifier of each new operation by 10. Thus, the second operation ID will be 0020 and the third operation ID will be 0030.
Work Center	The active work center where the operation takes place. The work center determines the standard labor costs during the cost rollup.
Operation Description	The description of the operation.
Setup Time	The time it takes to prepare to start the operation. Based on this time, the system adds a fixed labor cost to the cost of the produced item regardless of the size of the order. The system always backflushes the setup time for the first labor or move transaction to record the quantity completed.
Run Units	The number of units produced during the specified run time for the operation.
Run Time	The time required to produce the specified run units of the operation. If the number of run units is zero, then the system does not consider the run time in the production cost.
Machine Units	The number of units produced during the specified machine time for the operation. You specify the value of this box if machines are involved in the operation.
Machine Time	The time required to produce the number of machine units specified for the operation. If the number of machine units is zero, then the system does not consider the machine time in the production cost. You specify the value of this box if machines are involved in the operation.
Queue Time	The time a semi-finished item has to wait in the work center before workers can start processing the item.
Finish Time	The time required for the semi-finished item to be prepared for the next operation when the current operation has been finished.
Move Time	The time for a semi-finished item to be moved from the work center where the current operation is performed to the work center where the next operation will be performed.
Qty. to Produce	The quantity of the items to be produced at the operation. The system calculates the value of this box as the quantity to produce for the production order minus the quantity completed at the previous operation.
Qty. Complete	The item quantity that has been recorded as completed for the operation.
Qty. Scrapped	The item quantity that has been recorded as scrap for the operation.
Qty. Remaining	The item quantity that is needed to be produced for this operation. The value is calculated as follows: `Quantity to Produce (for the production order) - Quantity Complete (for the previous operation) - Quantity Scrapped (for the previous operation)`.
Status	The status of the operation, which the system specifies depending on the status of the production order and the production transactions released for the production order. The status can be one of the following: Planned: The production order has been created but has not been released yet. Released: The production order has been released and is ready for processing. In Process: The production order has the In Process status and the materials for the operation have been issued, that is, the material transaction has been released on the Materials (AM300000) form. Completed: The production order has either the In Process or Completed status and all the items have been completed for the operation, that is, a labor transaction on the Labor (AM301000) form or a move transaction on the Move (AM302000) form has been released with an item quantity that equals the quantity to produce for the operation. Canceled: The production order has been canceled. Closed: The production order has been closed.
Backflush Labor	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system backflushes the cost of labor hours spent for the operation. Attention: The system does not apply this setting to machine time, which is always backflushed.
Control Point	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the operation is a control point. If it is, for this operation, workers must record the quantity of completed items.
Auto-Report Qty.	A read-only check box that indicates (if selected) that the operation is defined to be reported sequentially. This check box is hidden by default.
Start Date	The scheduled start date of the operation.
End Date	The scheduled end date of the operation.
Actual Start Date	The date when the first labor or move transaction was created for the operation.
Actual End Date	The date when the operation was completed.
Scrap Action	The scrap action for an operation. You can select any of the following options: No Action: The system does not calculate the scrap cost separately. When workers record scrap in a move or labor transaction for a production order, the system adds the scrap cost to the total cost of the production order. Write-Off: The system posts the scrap cost to the scrap expense account. A reason code specifies the scrap expense account and subaccount. Quarantine: The system posts the scrap cost to the scrap expense account and creates an inventory adjustment for the scrap quantity and value. For more information, see Configuration of Scrap, Waste, and By-Products in Production: General Information. The system copies the default value of this box from the Bill of Material (AM208000) form when you create the production order. If you add an operation or change the work center for the operation, the system copies the default value from the Work Centers (AM207000) form.

Table 3. Table
Column	Description
Inventory ID	The identifier of an item required to produce the item specified in the Inventory ID box of the Summary area (the parent item). The item can be a produced subassembly, that is, it may have a bill of material assigned.
Subitem	The subitem of the inventory item. This column is visible only if the Inventory Subitems feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form. Important: The Inventory Subitems check box has been removed from the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form because the functionality associated with the Inventory Subitems feature will be phased out. If you have this feature enabled in your system, the associated functionality remains available. To disable the feature, contact your MYOB support provider.
Description	The description of the inventory item, which is copied from the Stock Items (IN202500) form.
Qty. Required	The quantity of the item required to produce one parent item. If you need to enter a by-product of the operation, you specify the negative value in this column.
UOM	The unit of measure for the inventory item. The system copies the default value from the Stock Items (IN202500) form. You can specify another UOM is needed.
Unit Cost	The planned unit cost for the item, which the system uses when calculating the cost of the parent item before the material transaction is created for the production order. The value of this box is updated by the cost roll process. When you add a new material item the system copies the default value from the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form if the item is stored in multiple warehouses or from the Stock Items (IN202500) form if the item is stored in one warehouse.
Material Status	The status of the material, which the system assigns automatically. The status indicates whether the material has been issued for the operation and whether the material has been allocated for the production order—that is, the item plan for the material exists on the Inventory Allocation Details (IN402000) form. Also, the material status corresponds to the production order status. The material can be assigned one of the following statuses: Planned: The material has not been issued yet, and the production order that contains the material has the Planned status. The item plan for the material has been created. Released: The material has not been issued yet, and the production order that contains the material has the Released status. The item plan for the material has been created. In Process: The material has been partially issued. The item plan for the remaining material quantity has been created. Completed: The material has been issued in full. No item plans exist for the material. Closed: The production order that contains the material has the Closed status. No item plans exist for the material. Canceled: The production order that contains the material has the Canceled status. No item plans exist for the material.
Backflush Materials	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system should backflush the material. Attention: If a specific warehouse location is specified for the material line, the items will only be backflushed from that location. If the item class is configured to allow negatives, materials will be issued only from that location regardless of quantity. If Inventory is not setup to go negative, materials will only be issued what is available from that location.
Warehouse Override	A check box that you select if you need to change the warehouse in the Warehouse column.
Warehouse	The warehouse from which this material should be issued. It defaults from the production order source if specified on the source, otherwise it defaults to the same warehouse specified for parent item receipt.
Location	If you specify a location, then only this location is used; that is, you have point of use inventory on the production floor that is periodically replenished from bulk stores. Otherwise leave blank and the locations will be automatically selected accordingly as explained in Production Processing: Selection of Warehouse Locations.
Scrap Factor	Scrap or shrinkage factor for the material required. Enter 10% as 0.1, 5% as 0.05. Both MRP and Production Management will scale up the quantity required.
Batch Size	The additional parameter that you can use to flexibly set up the required material quantity. The system uses this value to calculate the final quantity of the material. You specify the value of the box as follows: `0`: The required quantity does not depend on the quantity of the item being produced. The system always uses the quantity specified in the Qty Required column. `1` (default): The required quantity of the material is multiplied by the quantity of the item being produced. `2` or greater: The required quantity of the material is divided by this value. You can use this option, for example, if materials are supplied in non-base units of measure.
Qty. Round Up	The check box that indicates (if selected) that the value of the Total Required box is rounded up to the next integer. The system copies the state of the check box from the Manufacturing tab of the Stock Items (IN202500) form but you change the state if needed.
Qty. Remaining	This is calculated as Total Required minus Qty Actual.
Total Required	The calculation uses the Batch Size as follows: If the batch size is zero (0) then Qty. Required x (1 + Scrap Factor) If the batch size is not zero (0) then Qty. Required x (1 + Scrap Factor) x (Qty. to Produce on the production order / Batch Size). In both cases, the quantity will be rounded up if the Qty. Round Up is selected.
Qty. Actual	This is the actual quantity of material that were issued.
Total Actual Cost	This is the total actual cost of the materials that were issued.
Material Type	The type of the material. You can select one of the following options: Regular: The material to be purchased from a vendor. This option is default. Phantom: the material and, optionally, the routing will be included in the production order as a phantom. This means that the material and possibly the routing will appear on the production order while the phantom item disappears. Only manufactured items can be phantoms. Subcontract: The material to be used in outside processing. You specify the source of the material in the Subcontract Source column.
Subcontract Source	The source of the material. You can select one of the following options: None: The default option for materials of the type other than Subcontract. If the material type is Subcontract you cannot select this option. Purchase: The material is to be purchased by using a standard purchase order. You select this option for a material row that represents a vendor service. Each outside processing operation must have at least one material row with this source. When you select this option the check box in the Mark for PO column is selected automatically. Drop Ship: The material is sent directly to the vendor. You can select this option for informational purposes. Vendor Supplied: The material is supplied by the vendor. You can select this option for informational purposes. Attention: Vendor-supplied materials are not included in the production order cost. Ship to Vendor: The material is shipped to the vendor by using a vendor shipment, which you create by using the Vendor Shipments (AM310000) form.
Mark for PO	You can manually select this check box and this item will be inserted in the Create Purchase Orders (PO505000) form. This is automatically selected if a Goods for MFG purchase order line was created for this material line by using the Critical Materials (AM401000) form. Use the Allocations button to see the related supply order.
Mark for Production	A check box that indicates a linked production order was created for this material line using the Critical Materials (AM401000) form. Use the Allocations button to see the related supply order. Selecting this check box will add this stock item to the Create Production Orders (AM510000) form with the Production to Production plan type.
By-product	This indicates this material is a by-product of the operation and will be received into inventory when a materials batch is processed. The check box is selected for any materials with a negative quantity required.
Comp. BOM ID	This is used to override the default bill of material for a component of the production order. This only affects MRP when the subassembly is planned and its components are short.
Comp. BOM Revision	The revision of the component bill of material to use.
