Production slip

This parent product code describes what is referred to as a "Bill of Material" 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.

The parent product code is a stock code. It’s the assembly or finished goods code.

The numeric code associated with a production BOM.

Multiple bills of material (BOM) 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 such as for costing or for capacity planning.

Defines the quantity of the BOM links using a basis other than the product unit. A BOM can therefore be entered for 1 product unit, 100 product units, 1,000 product units, using a percentage, or specifying the size of a "lot".

In the percentage definition, the total link quantities need to be equal to 100.

The base quantity is determined by the management unit, as follows:

• The management unit is equal to 1, 100, 1,000, or is expressed as a percentage. The base quantity is the value 1, 100, 1,000, or 100 respectively.
• Unit management is By lot. You can enter the base quantity. If the BOM code is assigned to a specific site, it’s initialized to the lot size for the product at the site.

Indicates the assembly status of the BOM.

In development: The components that make up the product are being defined.

Available to use: The structure of the bill (BOM) is complete and was validated.

The individual elements at each level in the structure of the bill of material for the parent product and routing. Icons symbolize the various elements of the structure of the bill and routing operations. They provide a quick visual reference to the element.

A bill of material (BOM) is an assembly, a finished item, made up of components, raw materials, and instructions needed to build or maintain the item. A BOM often has a hierarchy of subassemblies in its list of components. Each subassembly will itself have a list of components, and this list can also contain subassemblies. The lowest level of the BOM is individual components and raw materials. As well as assemblies and components, different icons indicate a phantom component, a by-product, subcontracted subassemblies and components, a costing element, and a text line.

Routing operations are supported using a color indicator so that you can easily spot if the operation time that's applied to the production time is fixed or proportional. Icons distinguish the machines, labor, and tools in the routing.

BOM element: The description from the product record.

Routing: The description defined for the routing operation or the description of the work center.

The reordering mode.

Not managed: No reorder management

By MRP: Reordering is calculated by the MRP requirements

By MPS: Reordering is calculated by the MPS

By ROP: Reorder on threshold

By period: Reorder by periodic replenishment

Indicates if the component is stored in stock.

Physical: This is a physical component. Quantities are stored in stock.

Active: This is an active component such as nails or staples. Quantities are not stored in stock.

Specifies a fixed amount of time needed to prepare a work center.

It’s part of the work center load. It’s expressed in either the time unit specified in the routing header or in the standard operation, if a standard operation was applied for the operation. The time can be zero.

The time needed to manufacture the product described in the routing.

The operating time:

• Is defined in hours or minutes (Time unit field)
• Is expressed for 1, 100, 1,000, or a lot of units of the operation based on the management unit

• Can be proportional or fixed based on the operating time type

  Example

  Time unit = Hours
  Time type = proportional
  Management unit = Time for 100
  Operating time = 2
  Operating unit = kg
  Finished product unit = un
  REL-OPE conversion coefficient = 0.5
  The operation time is equal to 2 hours for 100 kg. If a work order is created for 1,000 units of the finished product, the time needed for the operation is 10 hours to obtain 500 kg.

Defines how time for the operations in the routing is expressed. The time unit can be hours or minutes.

The time applies to the setup time, run time, and the rate of all operations in the routing.

The quantity of the component that's needed to make the parent product.

The default quantity is defined on the bill of material record.

The quantity of the component in the stock unit that's needed to make the parent product.

The default quantity is defined on the bill of material record.

The percentage of the component that you expect to be lost during the production process.

Inquiries can display the following figures:

• Net quantities. The loss (scrap) percentage is not included in calculations of the quantity required to produce a parent product.
• Gross quantities. The loss percentage is included in calculations of the quantity required to produce a parent product.

Defines how the quantity of the component in the stock unit that's needed to make the parent product is determined.

Proportional: The quantity of the component is multiplied by the quantity required for the parent product.

Defines the rounding rule to apply to adjust the calculated quantity of the component to the number of decimal places defined for the stock unit of the parent product.

Round to the nearest

Greater than: Round up

Less than: Round down

Defines how stock of the product is managed.

Not managed: The product is not managed in stock. It’s a service or a general purchase, for example.

Managed

Potency managed: A management rule is applied. Management of quantities in stock requires an active quantity and a physical quantity.

The suggestion type is used when running Material Requirements Planning. It’s used to define if the product needs to be subject to:

• Intersite: a transfer
• Purchase
• Manufacturing: a production suggestion
• Subcontracting: a subcontract suggestion
• No suggestion

If the suggestion is an Intersite type, the reorder site needs to be specified in the Reorder site field (REFCY).

The component type.

Normal: A component defined on the bill of material.

By-product: An unplanned by-product or secondary product.

Text: Free-format text.

Costing: When a value is calculated for the provisional cost and the production cost price of the parent product.

Specifies a fixed amount of time needed to prepare a work center.

It’s part of the work center load. It’s expressed in either the time unit specified in the routing header or in the standard operation, if a standard operation was applied for the operation. The time can be zero.

Preparation time is "waiting time" set at the start of an operation.

Preparation time is not applied to the work center load.

Although preparation time is waiting time, it can be used for the time it takes to prepare for an operation on a work center. This might be time for settling liquids or cleaning a machine. When preparation time is used for setting time at the start of an operation, the resource needs to be available.

When scheduling preparation time, the calendar for the defined resource is applied. This means that if, for example, a machine or labor work center runs from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 with a 1 hour break from 12:00 to 13:00, preparation time will be interrupted by the 1 hour break.

If the operation requires an "emergency release", a reduction coefficient can be assigned that makes it possible to completely remove any preparation time.

The time needed to manufacture the product described in the routing.

The operating time:

• Is defined in hours or minutes (routing Time unit field)
• Is expressed for 1, 100, 1,000, or a lot of units of the operation based on the management unit

• Can be proportional or fixed based on the operating time type

  Example

  Time unit = Hours
  Time type = proportional
  Management unit = Time for 100
  Operating time = 2
  Operating unit = kg
  Finished product unit = un
  REL-OPE conversion coefficient = 0.5
  The operation time is equal to 2 hours for 100 kg. If a work order is created for 1,000 units of the finished product, the time needed for the operation is 10 hours to obtain 500 kg.

Waiting time is "delay time" that occurs after an operation. It’s non-productive time.

Waiting time is not applied to the work center load. It's for periods such as drying time or cooling time that occurs after a process was completed on a machine and until the machine can next be used.

If machine time is needed for an operation during the waiting time, you should add a new operation to the routing. A machine might be needed, for example, for drying or cooling components at a work center. The additional operation needs to be for the appropriate resource type, such as "cooler".

When scheduling time for these resources if, for example, a machine or labor work center runs from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 with a 1 hour break from 12:00 to 13:00:

• When scheduling waiting time: If the resource needs to be available, the calendar for the resource also applies to the waiting time. For this example, time will be interrupted by the 1 hour break.
• When scheduling time for the additional resource: The calendar for the defined resource also applies to the waiting time. The additional resource time will be interrupted by the 1 hour break.

The base quantity depends on the management unit.

In effect, if the time is expressed for 1 unit, for 100 units or for 1,000 units, the base quantity is forced, respectively to 1, 100 or 1,000 units.

However, if the time is expressed for a lot, the base quantity can be entered. If the processed routing code is assigned to a site, it's initialized for the lot size of the product-routing for the site.

The base quantity entry format depends on the operation unit.

Post operation, or post run time is a "deadline" that occurs after waiting time. It's non-productive time.

Post run time is not applied to the work center load. It's typically "transfer time", or a transition period from one work center to the next work center that occurs after a process was completed on a machine and until the machine can next be used.

If operator time is needed for an operation during the post run time, you should add a new operation to the routing. An operator might be needed, for example, for the transportation or carriage, or the transition between 2 work centers. The additional operation needs to be for the appropriate resource type, such as "carrier".

When scheduling time for these resources if, for example, a machine or labor work center runs from 08:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 with a 1 hour break from 12:00 to 13:00:

• When scheduling post run time, a neutral 24 hour calendar for the defined resource is applied. Post run time is not, therefore, interrupted by the 1 hour break.
• When scheduling time for the additional resource, the calendar for the defined resource is applied. Time will be interrupted by the 1 hour break.

If the operation requires an "emergency release", a reduction coefficient can be assigned that makes it possible to completely remove any post run time.

The operation time type applied to the production time entry.

Proportional: The production time is proportional to the released quantity. It’s expressed in hours and minutes, as based on the time unit for a given number of units, which is based on the management unit and base quantity.
With a proportional time type, the production time is entered in the operation time section. The rate section cannot be assigned.

Rate: The production time is proportional to the released quantity. The rate is used to express the time in number of units per hour or minute, depending on the time unit.
With a rate time type, the production time is entered in the rate section. The operating times, management unit, and basic quantity cannot be entered.

Fixed: The production time is independent of the released quantity. This time is expressed in hours or in minutes depending on the management unit.
With a fixed time type, the production time is entered in the operating time section. The management unit, basic quantity, and rate cannot be entered.

Depending on the resource being used, the number of decimals for the operation time can be insufficient to express the production time.

The management unit makes it possible to express the operation time for 1, 100, 1,000, or a lot of units of parts to be produced.
