Screen management

This function is customized to the needs of your organization and your processes. The Inquiry screens function for code 'MKI' determines the way in which you enter information, and how information is displayed and printed.

The Productions inquiry function contains a section for you to enter your selection criteria, and a table (grid) and graph in which the results of the search are displayed.

Header

Selection

Use this section to define the production site and date range. By default, the search is for the current date but can be changed to search within a range of dates.

Start - end range

Use this section to define the selection ranges to be used for filtering the results of the search.

You can use the Criteria action to enhance the selection criteria applied.

Selection

Production site (field MFGFCY)

Type in or select the production site from which the work orders are to be selected. This field is mandatory.
Tracking date (field MFGDATDEB)

Filter for results within a date range. For a single day, enter the same date in the from/start Tracking date and to/end Tracking date fields. You can leave the from Tracking date field blank to search all records to date.

Start - end range

Filter for results within a range of product codes. For a single product, enter the same product code in the from/start Product and to/end Product fields.
Tracking number (field MFGTNUMDEB)

Filter for results within a range of tracking numbers. For a single tracking number, enter the same tracking number in the from/start Tracking number and to/end Tracking number fields.
Work order (field MFGNUMDEB)

Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order number in the from/start Work order and to/end Work order fields.

Tab Search results

This section displays all work order production at the specified site that meets the defined selection criteria. The product to be manufactured and quantities for each work order line are included.

The columns displayed in the grid or table, the order in which they are displayed and the layout of the graph is determined by the Inquiry screens function for code 'MKI'.

Grid

This routing code describes a particular sequence of shop floor processes for a particular product. That is, the sequence of operations and tools that are used in a particular routing.

The routing code is a product code which can be the reference for a manufactured product or a generic reference (parent routing) linked to multiple products.

Tracking number (field MFGTRKNUM)

This field displays the tracking number generated for a work order released for production.
Line (field ITMTRKLIN)

This field identifies the associated line on the source document or order.
WO line (field MFGLIN)

This field displays the line number of the released product.
Product (field ITMREF)

This field displays the original product code. This product code describes what is referred to as a 'Bill of Materials' or a 'BOM'. A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.
Tracking type (field PRODTYP)

This field displays the type of tracking:

  • 'BOM' if the tracking is by bills of material (BOM);
  • 'WO' if the tracking is by work order.
Major version (field ECCVALMAJ)

This field indicates which version of this product applies. Major versions might be used where there have been increased or significant changes to the original or previous version, that is the "form, fit or function" has changed.

This field is not populated if the product code defined in the Product field is not version managed.

   
Minor version (field ECCVALMIN)

This field indicates which minor version of this product applies. Minor versions might be used where there have been minor features or changes in functionality, or significant fixes applied to a specific major version.

This field is not populated if the product code defined in the Product field is not version managed.
Stock unit (field STU)

This field displays the unit in which the product is stored. It provides the key to prices, costs, volumes etc.
Actual accepted qty (field CPLQTY)

This field displays the total completed quantity, including the rejected quantity, expressed in the operation unit.
Lot (field LOT)

This field indicates the lot linked to the stock movement.
Allocation date (field IPTDAT)

This field displays the date the stock was allocated to this work order line.
Release unit (field UOM)

This field displays the release unit of measure (volume or mass) for this product for this order. This unit and any applicable unit conversion are defined for this product on the product record.
STK conversion (field UOMSTUCOE)

This field displays the product-specific conversion factor applied between the stock unit and the release unit of measure. This unit conversion is defined for this product on the product record.
Routing (field ROUNUM)
Routing code (field ROUALT)

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).
BOM code (field BOMALT)

Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning).
No. W.O. (field MFGNUM)

This field displays the work order number.

Project (field PJT)

This field displays the associated project code. The content can be one of the following:

  • A project code
  • A project code and a project budget code
  • A project code and a project task code, that is a material task code, a labor task code (sales only), or a combined (mixed) labor and material task code.

If the content of this field includes a character such as an exclamation mark "!" this field links to the structure of the project. The character is the separator between a project code and the structure, either the project cost structure or the project operational structure. For example, if a material task code is 'USA-P3' and a project code is 'USA12345678', this field displays a link to the project operational structure as 'USA12345678!USA-P3'.

To provide a quick and easy visual reference the link to the project or project structure is distinguishable by the number of separator characters used. If there is no separator, the link is made to the project. A single separator character such as an exclamation mark after the project code (the first code) indicates the link type is a task (the link is to the project operational structure). Two separators placed after the project code mean that the link corresponds to a budget code (link to the project budget structure).
Order (field VCRNUMORI)

This field identifies the number of the source document or order.
Tracking date (field MFGTRKDAT)

This field displays the date the stock transactions associated with this tracking number were posted.
