This scheduling method—Forward Infinite or Backward Infinite—will be used when the scheduling preference is used for manufacturing orders you enter in the Manufacturing Order Entry window. Manufacturing orders that are generated—for example, manufacturing orders that are suggested by MRP processing—always use backward infinite scheduling because they are created based on a due date rather than on a start date.
For example, you can specify a beginning number for your manufacturing orders, determine how configured bills of materials will be handled, and determine how default values are calculated when you close a manufacturing order. You also can use the window to set up process security for tasks related to outsourcing and to set up an extra field for tracking outsourcing information.
Refer to Specifying outsourcing manufacturing order options for more information. Enter beginning identifiers for manufacturing orders, for receipts, and for pick documents. You can use letters and numbers. The identifiers are the next default identifiers, and also are the basis of future identifiers. To print notes attached to the picklist with the picking report, mark Print Picklist Notes with Picking Report. Specify whether lot numbers should be selected automatically by date received or expiration date.
The default option is Expiration Date. Date Received Mark this option to have lot numbers selected automatically in the order that the items were received. Expiration Date Mark this option to have lot numbers selected automatically in order of their expiration dates.
Specify how to handle information about canceled and closed manufacturing orders. Remove Canceled Mark this option to set up a default entry for removing canceled orders. If you mark this option, the Canceled Orders option will be marked when you use the Remove Manufacturing Orders window.
The number of days you enter will be used to calculate the Last Change Date in the Remove Manufacturing Orders window. Remove Closed Mark this option to set up a default entry for removing closed manufacturing orders. If you mark this option, the Closed Orders option will be marked when you use the Remove Manufacturing Orders window. The number of days you enter will be used to calculate the Last Change Date in the window.
Determine how default quantities for manufacturing orders should be calculated when you close a manufacturing order. You can choose to have default quantity calculated based on the original manufacturing order start quantity or the total quantity received. To decide on a case-by-case basis for each manufacturing order, mark None.
Specify options for closing manufacturing orders. Mark the appropriate options in the scrolling window at the bottom of the window. Refer to the table for more information about the effect of each option. Allow Negative WIP Quantities To be able to apply more labor, machine or material costs to a manufacturing order than already exist in WIP for the order, mark this option.
If your company is an average cost environment, be sure this option is not marked. Negative inventory should not be allowed in that case.
A configured bill of materials automatically is removed when the associated manufacturing order is closed. A configured bill of materials automatically is archived when the associated manufacturing order is closed. Archiving should be possible unless another bill of materials already has been archived for the manufacturing order. You can retrieve an archived bill of materials, if needed.
Displays a message when the quantity to consume or the quantity to backflush makes the on hand quantity of a component negative. Displays a message if you attempt to void or cancel a purchase order that is linked to a manufacturing order for the purchase of outsourced services. You can specify a process security set for managing links between manufacturing orders and purchase orders created to purchase outsourced services. Refer to Process security for more information. Use the Manufacturing Order Preference Defaults window to select process security sets and to set up a field for tracking additional information for shipments to outsourced vendors.
To specify outsourcing manufacturing order options:. Open the Manufacturing Order Preference Defaults window. To track additional information for shipments to outsourcing vendors, enter a label in the User-Defined Field Label for Outsourcing Shipping Records.
Later on, you can make entries in the field in the Manufacturing Shipments window or the Manufacturing Shipments by Vendor window. Enter or select a process security set for managing links between manufacturing orders and purchase orders. Most of the data collection options you select in this window are default options— users also can set their own preferences, based on their user IDs. The outsourcing options, however, are company-wide and cannot be changed on a user-by-user basis.
To set up data collection options:. Mark Always Use Standard Labor Rate if costs associated with a job should reflect the standard labor rate rather than the specific labor rate for each employee. Mark Enter Duration in Time Card Entry if most users will enter time for manufacturing order routing sequences in terms of hours and minutes, rather than start and stop times.
Users can mark or clear that option to enter time information in either format. Mark Clear MO Number to clear the manufacturing order number each time you save a data collection record. Mark Increment Sequence to display the sequence number for the next sequence in the selected routing each time you save a data collection record. Choose OK. If you are using outsourcing, you must also complete the procedure described in Setting up options for outsourcing costs.
Use the WIP Preference Defaults window to specify how outsourcing costs will be tracked for your company. To set up options for outsourcing costs:.
Mark Apply Additional Outsourcing Costs to MO if additional costs for outsourcing should be applied to manufacturing orders that include outsourcing. If you mark this option, additional costs—trade discount, tax, freight and miscellaneous charges—will be debited to the finished goods account for the manufacturing order, and credited to the inventory offset account.
It is possible to change some setup options for outsourcing features. However, you should be aware of these rules:. You cannot change from a labor cost bucket—Labor, Labor Fixed Overhead or Labor Variable Overhead—to a machine cost bucket, as long as your system includes labor code definitions that have been specified for outsourcing.
If you have labor codes designated for outsourcing, you must delete them before you can change the cost bucket. If you change from a machine cost bucket—Machine, Machine Fixed Overhead or Machine Variable Overhead—to a labor cost bucket, a message will be displayed if any planning routing or working routing for an unclosed manufacturing order includes an outsourced sequence.
The message will suggest that you review and update those routings. If transactions for outsourcing costs have been saved, those transaction amounts will be posted to the accounts associated with the cost bucket that was selected when the transactions were saved.
For example, suppose you were using the Machine cost bucket for outsourcing costs, and that you had saved transactions for outsourcing costs. If you then changed to use the Labor cost bucket, the transactions would still be posted to accounts for Machine costs. This documentation includes information about setting up system settings for use with management functions modules: Quality Assurance, Engineering Change Management and Job Costing.
If the items meet quality requirements, you must complete an inventory transfer transaction to move the items from the quality assurance site to inventory. Refer to Inventory Control documentation for more information. To set up Quality Assurance:. Open the QA Preference Defaults window. Basically, the ECM system tracks which products are being changed and helps you deal with the effects of those changes.
Some product changes will need to be communicated to your customers; others might not. Denial code The denial code describes why a request for an engineering change is being denied.
Routing In Engineering Change Management, a routing is the list of users who must approve of a change before the change can be put into effect. Routings can be set up so that approvals can be granted in a specific order.
User-specific preference tasks are described in Setting up engineering change user preferences. To set engineering change system settings:. To change order numbers to be generated automatically, enter the first number to be used in the Next EC Number field.
Determine if the time it takes for processing change requests should be tracked. Determine how to have change requests routed through your organization. If this option is marked, users must review engineering change orders in the order users appear in the engineering change routing.
Allow override on routing sign-off If alternate users should be able to approve change orders, mark Allow override on routing sign-off. Alternate users will be required to supply the appropriate password to approve change orders.
Engineering Change Management provides two major benefits. To take full advantage of the notification features in Engineering Change Management, you need to specify which modules should be affected by the engineering change requests in your company. To specify modules for ECM warnings:. Mark the modules or parts of modules that you want tied to the engineering change management notification system. You can mark as many or as few options as you like.
You can continue working with the record, or you can choose View Details to open a view-only window summarizing the particular engineering change request. The default settings you select for Job Costing in the Job Costing Preference Defaults window will determine which transaction types can be used in calculating job costs, who will be able to unlink job elements or apply transactions, and how Payables Management transactions will be divided among jobs. If needed, you can select a different transaction list in the Job Maintenance window.
This will be the group of users who can change the status of a job, unlink elements, or manually apply transactions. For more information about security sets, refer to Process security. Default Distribution Method Select a default method for distributing cost amounts across jobs for Payables Management transactions.
Most elements can only be linked to one job, but some costs—such as freight and miscellaneous charges— can be linked to several jobs. The default distribution method will determine how the dollars are spread across the jobs in the system. You enter default system settings once, but you can change these entries, as needed. Refer to Job Costing system preferences for more information. To define Job Costing system settings:.
