Replace work centers

• Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on its authorizations.

• Replacement by date (field REPLACEFLG)

Help common to functions "Routing operations" and "Replace work-centers".
This box is used to specify if a replacement by date is requested.

• If no replacement by date is requested, the "Application date" is not specified and cannot be entered.
  In this case, for a routing operation, only the records overlapping the current date and those later than the current date are taken into account and displayed in the grid along with the modifications entered in tab(s) "Parameters". These record modifications take effect upon saving the grid.
    
• If a replacement by date is requested, the "Application date" must be specified using a date later than or equal to the current date.
  In this case, for a routing operation:
  
  - The records later than the application date are taken into account and displayed in the grid along with the modifications entered in tab(s) "Parameters".
  
  - The records overlapping the application date are split into two records:
   
• The first one is not displayed in the grid. The modifications entered in tab(s) "Parameters" are not applied to it.
  Upon saving the grid, this record is modified: its end date takes the following value: application date - 1 day.
   
• The second record is displayed in the grid along with the modifications entered in tab(s) "Parameters". Its start date takes the following value: application date.
  Upon saving the grid, this record is created with an alternate index equal to that of the initial record +1, if possible: the record following the initial record must not already have this alternate index (the records relating to the same routing operation must have increasing alternate indices according to their chronological order).
  If this is not possible, the log specifies it and the modifications entered in tab(s) "Parameters" are not applied to the record. As a result, this record is not modified unless value changes are entered in the grid.

• Application date (field APPDAT)

The application date is specified and can be entered only if a "Replacement by date" is requested. This is the date on which the modification must take effect. By default, it is the current date. It can be modified but must remain later than or equal to the current date.

• Code (field ROUALTDEB)

Multiple routings can be defined for a single product. Each routing code can be assigned specific management features. These include restriction of the routing to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for use in a manufacturing environment, for costing or for capacity planning).

• Routing (field ROUNUMDEB)

The routing is used to describe the product manufacturing process.
The routing identifier is a product reference which can be the reference of a manufactured product, or a generic reference (mother routing) linked to several products.

• Operation (field OPENUMDEB)

The production routing is described by means of operation numbers.
Each operation corresponds to a task carried out on a given resource, with given times.

• Work center (field WSTDEB)

The work center is attached to a work center group. It corresponds to a production resource on which a routing operation is carried out.

This is an entity for which it is requested to plan loads and track production times.

Each work center is associated with an attachment site.

• Labor center (field LABWSTDEB)

A labor work center can be associated with the machine-type or labor-type main work center. The labor work center times are calculated using two coefficients:

• setting coefficient,
• operating coefficient applied to the setting time and operating time of the principal work center.

When creating a routing operation, the site attached to the work center must be the same as the site dedicated to the routing code, provided that the latter site is mentioned.

 This resource is considered as secondary and always available (or available at the same time as the main work center). Its load is managed for information purposes via coefficients applied to the main work center times.

If the main work center is of sub-contracting type, no secondary work center can be associated.

• Subcontract type (field SCOCODDEB)

The sub-contracting code is used to determine whether the operation is carried out internally or if it is sent outside to a sub-contracting supplier.
It can take the following values:

• No: the operation is never sub-contracted. The sub-contracting product and the sub-contracting work center cannot be assigned,
• Structural: the operation is systematically sub-contracted. The factory does not have the required skills or toolings. The sub-contracting product is mandatory and the sub-contracting work center cannot be assigned. it is loaded with the principal work center, which, in this case, must be of the sub-contracting type.
• Temporary (conjuncture related): the operation is carried out internally in priority, but in case of overload or temporary problem, it can be sub-contracted. The sub-contracting product and the sub-contracting work center can be assigned and are mandatory.

• Subcontract work C (field SCOWSTDEB)

The sub-contracting work center:

• is used to manage the load issued to the sub-contractor,
• may correspond to a "generic" sub-contractor and is used to know the number of sub-contracted hours.
• may represent a specific sub-contractor.
• corresponds to a work center whose type is "sub-contracting".

When creating a routing operation, a verification is carried out to make sure that the site attached to the work center is the same as the site dedicated to the routing code, provided that the latter site has been specified.

• Subcon prod (field SCOITMDEB)

This is the code for a product with the category type ‘service’.
The service can be performed by an external subcontractor.

• Selection formula (field FORMULE)

Enter, select or build an Sage X3 filter calculation expression using the formula editor.

 An error message is displayed if you refer to tables which are not generally used by the configurator, or to unknown variables.

• Include the operations derived from std operations (field EFFUPD)

• Box checked:
  Standard operations are included in the operation selection.
• Box not checked:
  Standard operations are excluded from the selection.

• Exclude unmodified operations (field EFFUPD2)

Help common to functions "Routing operations" and "Replace work-centers".

• Box checked:
  The grid displays only the selected operations for which the application of the modifications defined in tab(s) "Parameters" leads to value changes.
  In case of replacement by date, this option makes it possible to avoid generating, for the same routing operation, records differing only in their validity date.
• Box not checked:
  The grid displays all the selected operations, regardless of whether or not the application of the modifications defined in tab(s) "Parameters" leads to value changes.

• New work center (field FWST)

When checked, this box is used to define a new main work center.

• field WSTV

The principal work center corresponds to the production resource on which the routing operation will be performed. It can be of machine, labor or sub-contracting type.
If the work center has been selected with a "subcontract" type, the subcontract code of the second screen is forced to "structural": in other words, the operation is systematically subcontracted. The subcontract operations are managed with a lead time specified in the subcontract product record. The operation times are used to manage the equivalent of the load in hours, sent to the sub-contractor for information purposes.
To manage a temporary (or occasional) subcontract operation, it is necessary to enter the workshop work center in the main work center and specify the subcontract work center in the second screen with a "temporary" subcontract code. During the creation of a work order, scheduling is carried out in priority on the workshop work center and it is possible to replace it with the subcontract work center if it has finally been decided to subcontract the operation.

• New labor center (field FLABWST)

When checked, this box is used to define a new labor work center.

• field LABWSTV

A labor work center can be associated with the machine-type or labor-type main work center. The labor work center times are calculated using two coefficients:

• setting coefficient,
• operating coefficient applied to the setting time and operating time of the principal work center.

When creating a routing operation, the site attached to the work center must be the same as the site dedicated to the routing code, provided that the latter site is mentioned.

 This resource is considered as secondary and always available (or available at the same time as the main work center). Its load is managed for information purposes via coefficients applied to the main work center times.

If the main work center is of sub-contracting type, no secondary work center can be associated.

• New sub-con w/center (field FSCOWST)

When checked, this box is used to enter a new sub-contracting work center.

• field SCOWSTV

The sub-contracting work center:

• is used to manage the load issued to the sub-contractor,
• may correspond to a "generic" sub-contractor and is used to know the number of sub-contracted hours.
• may represent a specific sub-contractor.
• corresponds to a work center whose type is "sub-contracting".

When creating a routing operation, a verification is carried out to make sure that the site attached to the work center is the same as the site dedicated to the routing code, provided that the latter site has been specified.

• Subcontracted prod. (field FSCOITMREF)

When checked, this box is used to enter a subcontract product.
This modification applies to structural or occasional subcontract operations.

• field SCOITMREFV

This is the code for a product with the category type ‘service’.
The service can be performed by an external subcontractor.

• Supplier (field FBPSNUM)

When checked, this box is used to indicate a new supplier code.
This modification applies to structural or occasional subcontract operations.

• field BPSNUMV

Enter the supplier at the origin of the receipt. The selection lists specific to the intersite and intercompany orders and deliveries available for receipt are filered to those related to the entered supplier.

From the Selection icon, you can:

• Address (field FBPAADD)

This tick box cannot be entered by the user.
It is automatically checked when a new supplier code is specified. It is then used to update or specify the address code of the subcontractor, by choosing an address associated with the selected supplier.
This modification applies to structural or occasional subcontract operations.

• field BPAADDV

This field is used to choose an address associated with the selected supplier.

• Reference price (field FREFPRI)

When checked, this box is used to enter a reference price.
This modification applies to structural or occasional subcontract operations.

• field REFPRIV

In the case of the definition of a generic sub-contracting service, a reference price can be entered in the operation.
This unit price (by operation unit) is used to value the service upstream of the order entry.
