System ➔ General ➔ Settings ➔ Manufacturing settings
This document helps you to define your preferred manufacturing settings to run the E-Production module. You can also view all the information on the changes that have been made to the settings.
The information in this document is based on product update 407 and higher. If you have versions lower than this, certain features explained here will not be applicable.
Select Production to use the work in progress (WIP) method in production costing. This means the WIP general ledger (G/L) account will be used to record actual issue/receive financial transactions during the production process. Select No: WIP to not use the WIP method in production costing. This means all the actual issue/receive financial transactions will be recorded directly in the production cost G/L account.
Select this check box to use the production result G/L account to book the balance of the production cost, revenue and waste G/L accounts. If you do not select this check box, the production result G/L account will not be used when production completes. With this, the balance of the production cost, revenue and waste G/L accounts will remain in the three accounts.
Select this check box to charge any price differences between the purchase order and the purchase invoice raised for a manufacturing production order to the WIP or production cost account. For more information, see Production based purchasing.
Select Production cost to book the extra issue of material costs to the production cost G/L account or Production waste to book the extra issue of material costs to the production waste G/L account.
Select this check box to require production orders to be authorized before they can be released and printed. Hence, authorization of production orders is mandatory in the production order process.
Select this check box to require every production order to be printed after it has been released. Hence, printing of production orders is mandatory in the production order process.
Select this check box to require production orders to be released before they can be printed. With this, the production order release is mandatory in the production order process.
Select this check box to require production orders to be set to the Finished status before they can be completed.
Select this check box to print labels after receiving production items. For more information, see Entering and modifying production receipts.
Select this check box to use multiple layouts for printing of production orders. For example, you can print a production order of different layouts for the production floor, the finance department and the warehouse. In addition, you can also print more than one copy of the same layout. If you enable this function, you can maintain the multiple layouts linked to specific collective layouts in System ➔ Logistics ➔ Layouts ➔ Multiple layouts for production sheets. This menu path will not be available if you do not select the check box.
Backflush is defined as the automatic issuance/realization of components, parts and hours used to produce an end product. Thus, manual realization is not necessary.
Select this check box and the standard items will be automatically set to Backflush in the maintenance of Bill of Materials (BOM) for a manufactured (make) item.
Select this check box and the labor hour items will be automatically set to Backflush in the maintenance of BOM for a manufactured (make) item.
Select this check box and the machine hour items will be automatically set to Backflush in the maintenance of BOM for a manufactured (make) item.
Select this to enable the selection of check boxes in both the Backflush and By-product columns under the BOM tab in the BOMs maintenance screen and the Production orders entry screen.
This is the default setting to enable the phantom person to perform unlimited labor hour planning and realization in project and manufacturing. By default, the person ID of the phantom person is set to -3.
Select one of the following options to perform the automatic allocation of materials for production orders. This setting determines at what stage of a production order cycle the automatic allocation of materials will take place.
Select one of the following methods to perform the automatic allocation of materials for production orders:
If this check box is not selected, there are various scenarios when items are allocated and unallocated:
Select this check box to use operations in production. If this function is enabled, you can create and maintain the operations that are used to produce the finish goods by going to Manufacturing ➔ Setup ➔ Operations. This menu path will not be available if you do not select this check box. By selecting the Operations check box, the Manufacturing ➔ Entries ➔ Operations control menu path will be enabled.
For more information see Affected menu path with operations setting.
Select Manually, Hours realized, or Operation quantity completed to define how the percentages of completion for operations are calculated. This field is enabled only if the Operations check box is selected.
For more information on the calculations, see Calculation of percentage of completion of operations.
Select Estimates or Actuals to define how the remaining set up and labor hours for operations are calculated. This field is enabled only if the Operations check box is selected.
For more information on the calculations, see Exact Visual scheduler - Calculation of remaining setup and run hours of operations.
Select this check box to recalculate the average purchase price (APP) of the end product by dividing the total stock value with the total quantity of the stock at the completion of a production order.
Note: The Receipts: Recalculate APP check box is enabled only if you select Average Purchase Price or Real time APP at Valuation method in Inventory settings at System ➔ General ➔ Settings.
Select this check box to use the engineering change management (ECM) function in Manufacturing ➔ Entries ➔ Engineering change. With this function enabled, any changes to the existing BOM will create an ECM activity workflow. This workflow will need to be approved or rejected. In addition, a Microsoft Excel report will be created to record the changes in the BOM. The BOM which is undergoing changes and pending approval cannot be used to create a production order.
Select this check box to generate an internal project whenever there is an engineering change in the BOM.
Select this check box to use the engineering change management (ECM) function in Manufacturing ➔ Entries ➔ Engineering change for newly created BOMs. This check box is enabled when you select the Use engineering change management check box.
