This function is used to create, copy, modify and delete all production plans managed by the company, these production plans being used if the asset depreciation is based on carrying out operation units (OPEs).

When the depreciation plan of an asset is based on the OPE - Operation units method, this asset must be attached to a production plan.

This plan is used to:

  • specify the total number of OPEs necessary for the depreciation of the asset(s) attached to it, 
     
  • distribute the projected achievement of these OPEs by period and by FY, according to the period and fiscal year breakdown defined for the context retained for OPE management of the company,
     
  • enter, for the current period, the number of OPEs actually achieved; this information usually comes from Manufacturing and can be subject to an import.

Header

The header contains the general characteristics of the production plan.

Block number 1

Company (field CPY)

This field displays the company for the financial site.
Financial site (field FCY)

This mandatory field is used to enter the financial site in which the production workbench is recorded.

The choice of the financial site is subject to management and authorization rules given to the user.
The site can also be automatically loaded, by default, with the financial site reference previously displayed. It is possible to activate/deactivate this load by default, via the setup REMAFCY -  Persistence of the site, defined in the AAS chapter - Fixed assets.

If the user is limited to a single site, the financial site is automatically loaded and cannot be modified.

Block number 2

Reference (field PROPLN)

A workbench is uniquely identified with the help of a reference composed of a maximum of 20 alphanumerical characters.
The management of this reference depends on the value of parameter PPLAUTNUM - Production workbench numbering of chapter AAS - Assets.

  • This reference must be entered if automatic numbering is not managed (the parameter has value None).
  • It cannot be entered if the parameter has value: Mandatory. This reference will be automatically assigned when validating the creation.
  • It can be entered if the automatic numbering is Optional. Otherwise, it will be automatically assigned.

The reference assigned to the workbench depends on the setup of the sequence number counter assigned to the Production workbench reference field in the Asset module. (Sequence number counter Structure and Sequence number counter assignment functions).
Description 1 (field PLNDES1)

This field contains the main description of the production plan.
This information is mandatory.
Description 2 (field PLNDES2)

This field contains the complementary description of the production plan.
This information is optional.
End date (field PPLENDDAT0)

End date of the production plan.
This date is optional: if no date is specified, the production plan lines end at the last period defined in the fiscal year table of the context which serves as the basis for asset depreciation management in accordance with the method. OPE - Operation units.
If it is specified, the production plan ends at the last period which contains this end date. It must be later than or equal to the end date of the current period at the time of the entry.
Unit (field UOM)

Unit in which are expressed the nonfinancial units. This unit will determine the number of authorized decimals.
Plan unit (field PLNQTY0)

Total number of OPE to amortise for the production plan.
This information is mandatory.
When the production plan end date is entered, the modification of the total number of OPE must re-calculate tje amortised plans according to the OPE method of the assets linked to the production plan.
Context (field CNX)

This non modifiable field displays the context retined to generate the asset depreciation based on the OPE - Operation units method.
(This setup is to be carried out at Context) management function.

Tab Principle

This tab presents the production plan table, each line corresponding to a period of the context retained for the OPE management.
Upon creation, the first line is automatically loaded with the current period of the current fiscal year and the last line with the period in which the plan production end date is scheduled or, if no date is specified, with the last period defined in the context period table.

  • Entering the number ofplanned OPEs is authorized only on the production plan lines which corresponds to non closed periods.
  • Entering the number ofcompleted OPEs is authorized only on the production plan line which corresponds to the current period.
  • The OPE total for the fiscal year and the period end total cannot be modified. They are calculated based on completed OPEs or, by default, the planned OPEs.
  • The number ofResidual OPEs is automatically calculated based on the total number of OPEs of the production plan as well as the number ofcompleted OPEs or, if there are no completed OPEs,planned OPEs. 

The user does not need to distribute all OPEs specified for the production plan. The remainder of operation units not yet broken down feeds the planned OPEs of the period in which the production plan end date is scheduled, if this date is part of a period defined in the fiscal year table of the context fisl.
When this OPE total number is modified, the number of residual OPE is updated on each line greater than or equal to the current period, since the lines corresponding to closed periods cannot be modified. 

Note: The table data can be displayed as a chart by clicking the icon at the top-left corner of the table Table management). 

Grid List of values

Period start (field PERSTRDAT)

This field displays the period start date of the plan.

Period end (field PERENDDATC)

This field, non modifiable, displys the periode end date of the plan.

Residual units (field RSDQTY)

This non-editable field contains the number of operation units still to be produced, at the beginning of the period: it corresponds to the difference between the total of operation units for the plan and the total of OPE already distributed on the previous periods.
Planned units (field EXTQTY)

Entering operation units for the period is optional et possible only on the lines of the plan corresponding to non closed periods. The number of authorized decimals depends on the chosen unit.
If the number of Planned OPE is higher than the number of Residual OPE, the total of the OPE of the production plan is revised after the validation of a confirmation message.
When the number of Planned OPE is modified, the plans depreciated according to the OU - Operation units method of the assets linked to the production plan must recalculated.

Actual OU (field CPLQTY)

Entering the actual operation units for the period is optional and possible only on the line of the plan corresponding to the current period. The number of authorized decimals depends on the chosen unit.
If the number of Actual OUs is higher than the number of Residual OUs, the total number of OUs in the production plan is revised upon validating the confirmation message.
When the number of Actual OUs is modified, the plans amortized according to the OU - Operation units method of the assets linked to the production plan must be recalculated.

FY units (field FIYQTY)

The total of non-financial units to be depreciated in the financial year cannot be entered: it corresponds to the cumulative of the OPE completed, or, by default, thePlanned OPE, of the financial year periods.
Unit total (field CUMQTY)

The total of non-financial units to be depreciated at the end of a period cannot be entered: it is calculated adding to the total of the previous period, the completed OPE or by default the planned OPE for the period.

Tab Assets

This tab displays the list of the assets linked to the production plan and displays, for each of them, the purchase date and the ex-tax receipt value in company currency.

Grid List of assets

Reference (field AASREF)

This field, non modifiable, contains the reference of the financial asset linked to the production plan.

This button gives access by tunnel to the Assets management function.

Other conditions

Copy

  • The production plan to copy and the copied production plan must belong to the same company.
     
  • Only the production plan lines later than or equal to the current period are copied: the OPE total of the copied plan is subtracted from the number of OPEs of the non copied lines.

Modification

Modifying a production plan is not authorized when its end date is scheduled for a period prior to the current period.
If the company of the asset is subject to the French (FRA) legislation, modifying the plan triggers:

  • The generation of an event of production plan change (FASCHGPPL).

     This event can be viewed in the Event log window that can be accessed from the Other info tab of the function of Fixed asset management.
     
  • The archiving of the pre-modification production plan in a dedicated table (DEPRECARC).  It can be viewed in the Archived plan tab, which can be accessed from the event detail inquiry.

 SEEWARNING In the case of a desynchronization of a context used for the management of operation orders: the OPEs of any potential associated production plan are updated on the basis of the resynchronization period, using the number of operation orders of the last period not affected by the re-breakdown. It might then be necessary to re-enter these quantities and to submit a depreciation calculation.

Deletion

Deleting a production plan is not authorized when at least one asset is linked to it.

Error messages

The only error messages are the generic ones.
