Scenario
In this lab you will perform the following tasks:
- Backflush on operations
- Automatic route consumption on setup jobs
- Test the parameter setup
- Use Manufacturing execution
Backflush on operations
The Production manager decided that the best way to post picking lists is to use the Operation quantity feedback (backflush on operations) method. If the actual consumption on BOM items differs from the estimated consumption, the employee can enter the actual item consumption when providing quantity feedback.
Open Production control > Setup > Manufacturing execution > Production order defaults.
On the Start tab, select Status + quantity in the Update start on-line field.
In the Automatic BOM consumption field, select Never.
Select the Operations tab.
Set the Setup option to Yes.
In the Automatic BOM consumption field, select Always.
Select the Report as finished tab.
In the Update finished report on-line field, select Status + Quantity.
In the Automatic BOM consumption field, select Never.
Save and close the Production order defaults page.
Automatic route consumption on setup jobs
The estimation on operation setup is accurate, so the Production manager decides that it is not necessary for employees to register on setup jobs. The time consumption on setup jobs must be posted automatically.
Open Production control > Setup > Routes > Route groups.
From the list in the left pane, select Shop Floor Control Routing Group.
Select Edit in the Action Pane.
On the General FastTab, in the Automatic route consumption group, enable the Setup time field.
Select Save and close the Route groups page.
Open Production control > Setup > Manufacturing execution > Production order defaults.
On the Start tab in the left pane, in the Automatic route consumption field, select Route group dependent.
Enable the Post route card now field.
Save and close the Production order defaults page.
Test the parameter setup
In the previous sections, you changed the picking list posting to backflush on operations and then arranged the posting of setup time on a production order to be done automatically when you start a new production. Now, you need to test the setup.
Open Organization administration > Number sequences > Number sequences.
Select Number sequence code 'Prod_128'.
Select Edit in the Maintain group.
In the Name field, enter 'Production Journal', and at the bottom of the page in the Next field, enter '1900'.
