What Does This Procedure Do?
This procedure is used to print a list with manufacturing order suggestions. These suggestions are created either in the Requirement Calculation procedure by activating the order suggestion alternative, or in the Run Netting or Run Netting Manufacturing Forecast procedures.
What Are Manufacturing Order Suggestions?
A customer order registered for manufactured parts (M-parts) will create stock reservations for those parts. If the sold parts are structure parts, the system will also create a material requirement for the incorporated M-parts, S-parts, F-parts and P-parts. When the available stock balance for the affected M-parts, S-parts and F-parts falls below the reorder point, safety stock or equals zero, the system will place manufacturing order suggestions for these parts from one of the abovementioned procedures. In this procedure, these order suggestions are loaded and generated into actual manufacturing orders.
If manufacturing order suggestions are created from customer orders for parts with lot sizing rule Lot-for-lot, the manufacturing order number is saved to the customer order row when the suggestion is generated into a manufacturing order.
Under the Create tab it is possible to select parts and make different selections for generating manufacturing orders.
You can then use the list to generate manufacturing order suggestions into actual manufacturing order rows by clicking Run under the Window functions. In the list, you can also select which manufacturing order suggestions you want to include in the run. Also see printout samples of the manufacturing order suggestion list, containing explanations for the different columns in the list.
What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?
In the list, you can manually change the Quantity and Finish period of each order suggestion.
The list then generates actual manufacturing orders if you click Run. The Register Manufacturing Order procedure opens automatically and manufacturing order rows are created, based on the manufacturing order suggestions selected in the list. When you save the manufacturing order, the corresponding order suggestions will be deleted automatically.
Can Any Charts Be Displayed?
There are no charts or graphs available in this list.
