Production Order Record View (3.0)

Production Orders are used to issue specific quantity of inputs and/or output quantities of inventory items within a certain time frame. These allow multiple production items to be associated to Production Orders. This page will display input, output and yield percentages and allow users to view/record actuals against the plan. Inventory is not affected when the plan is entered, only when actuals are recorded.

Grid: Inventory Items Tab

Column HeadersDescription
CheckboxUsed to select one or more records to perform an action, such as Mass Update, More Actions, or Delete.
BOM ID

Identifies the unique ID of the BOM record associated with the line item. This is automatically assigned when an open BOM record exists for the Item and Site combination of the Production Order.  It is not required and is never editable. 

Database Fields: ERPx_IMBOM.BOMID, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.BOMSK

BOM Qty Override

Identifies whether the 'Units' or 'Weight' of an Input line item with a Line Source of 'BOM' was manually updated or not.  This is a Yes/No field where 'Yes' means the user updated the default value of either the 'Units' or 'Weight' and No (which is displayed as blank) means the default value(s) has not been updated. 

This is a calculated field that is not stored in the database. 

BOM Units

Identifies the Units quantity from the associated BOM record.  This is only applicable to items that are assigned to a BOM.  If the user updates the 'Units' value for an Output line item (associated with the BOM), the BOM Units and all the corresponding Input items will be updated based on the difference.  For example, If the 'Units' value for the Output line item is 100 Cases when loaded from the BOM record and the user updates the 'Units' value to 90 Cases, all the input line(s) quantities from the BOM will be updated to 90% of the original quantity (for example, an input line item value of 50 Cases would now be updated to 45 Cases). 

Note: The BOM Units on an Input line are always calculated from the Output BOM Item's percentage. If a user updates the 'Units' value for an Input line associated with the BOM record, the BOM Units will not be updated based on this. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.BOMUnits

BOM Weight

Identifies the Weight from the associated BOM record.  This is only applicable to items that are assigned to a BOM.  If the user updates the 'Weight' value for an Output line item (associated with the BOM), the BOM Weight and all the corresponding Input items will be updated based on the difference.  For example, If the 'Weight' value for the Output line item is 1000lbs when loaded from the BOM record and the user updates the 'Weight' value to 900lbs, all the input line(s) quantities from the BOM will be updated to 90% of the original quantity (for example, an input line item value of 500lbs would now be updated to 450lbs). 

Note: The BOM Weight on an Input line are always calculated from the Output BOM Item's percentage. If a user updates the 'Weight' value for an Input line associated with the BOM record, the BOM Weight will not be updated based on this. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.BOMWeight

Include in Yield

Identifies whether the line item is included in the yield calculation or not.  This is a Yes/No lookup that is required.  It defaults based on the following:

  • For line items with a Line Source of Manual it defaults to "Yes". 
  • For line items with a Line Source of BOM it defaults to the value set on the corresponding BOM record. 

It is editable until the Production Order is in a status of Closed.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMBOMItem.IncludeInYield, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.IncludeInYield

Identifies a reference for a line item.  This is an editable text box that defaults to blank and is not required.  If entered, it must be <=100 characters and does not need to be unique.   This is always editable, even after the record is Closed.  This value will default to the Production Transaction Line Reference value for the corresponding item(s). 

Database Field:  ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.Reference

Line Source

A non-editable textbox that displays where the corresponding line item originates from. This is required and never editable. The available options include:

  1. Manual: The line item was manually added by a user.
  2. BOM: The line item was auto-added from a BOM record. 

This lookup contains all the values in the IMProductionLineSource Enumeration Class where Enumeration Value = 1,2.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.IMProductionLineSourceEN

Line Type

Identifies the type of the line item. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required. It defaults based on the toolbar button that was clicked to add a new line.  If 'Add Output' button was clicked it defaults to "Output", and if 'Add Input' button was clicked it defaults to 'Input'.  It is only editable prior to the initial Save, then it is disabled. 

This lookup contains all the values in the IMLineItemType Enumeration Class where Enumeration Value = 1,2.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.LineItemTypeEN

Ln.

Identifies the Line # for each Transaction Line Item. The Line # sets the sort of the items on grids, list views, inquiries, and reports. This is an editable text box that defaults to the next available base-10 number per Line Type. It is required, and is editable while the transaction is in a Status of "New". To re-sequence the line items, edit one or more lines with a new positive number that would put the line item where you want it sorted, and click the Save button. On save, the line items will be resorted per Line Type, and the Ln. values will be re-set to base-10 values.

For example, if you had three Input line items 10, 20, and 30 and you wanted the last one (Ln. 30) to be second, you could edit the value to any number between 10 and 20 (i.e., 15) and on save the lines would be sorted in the new sequence (10, 15, and 30) and then all Ln.'s would be re-set to base 10 numbers (10, 20, 30).

Note: Since the Ln. values are per Line Type, it is possible to have duplicate Ln. values across the types. 

Database Fields: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.ItemSort, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.ItemSortOverride

Owner

Identifies a the Lot Owner for a line item. This is a single select standard lookup that is required. It defaults to the Inventory Preference value for 'Default Owner' and is always editable until the Production Order is in a status of Closed. 

Owners are used to identify who owns the inventory. Additional Owners are typically added for companies that do custom processing and need to keep that inventory separate from their own. Owner is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required on all Inventory Lots.

The lookup contains the current assigned value and a list of all the Lot Owners.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMLotOwner.OwnerName, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.OwnerSK

Production Batch

Identifies the Production Batch ID of the Lot. This is a text box that is not required. This field is enabled for items where the 'Lot Tracked' field is set to "Yes". This field is disabled for items where the 'Lot Tracked' field is set to "No". If enabled, this field is always editable while the transaction is in a status of 'Open' or 'Released'. The value entered in this field will auto-populate on the associated line item on a recorded production transaction.

A Production Batch is the identifier that contains all the Traceability information (Production Batch Properties and Attributes) for Lot Tracked Items. This number stays attached to the product, even if it is transferred to another Site. Production Batch is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line for a Lot Tracked Item. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Lot Tracked items on screens that include a Production Batch field.

An Inventory Lot is the most granular level that item balances (quantities of Units and/or Weight) are stored within NorthScope. Inventory Lots are created for all Inventory Items assigned an Item Type of “Inventory', regardless of whether the Item is Lot Tracked (i.e., balances are maintained by Production Batch) or the Site containing the product is 'Warehouse Lot' tracked or not. 

An Inventory Lot is unique by combination of:

  • Item: The Item ID (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • SiteThe Site/Warehouse that contains the inventory (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • Production BatchThe date code or other traceability reference that stays with product and never changes. It is required for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "Yes" and will be blank for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "No"
  • Warehouse LotThe identifier or location within a Site/Warehouse, this is most typically used for 3rd party distribution sites. It is required for 'Inventory Lots' in a Warehouse Lot tracked Site and will be blank for 'Inventory Lots' in a non Warehouse Lot tracked Site. This has nothing to do with whether the Item is 'Lot Tracked' or not. 
  • Owner: Identifies who owns the product. This is required for all Inventory Lots.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.ProductionBatchID

Scheduled Qty

Identifies the line item's quantity converted to the Item's Cost UOM.  This is a non editable text box that is required if a Cost UOM exists on the Item and the UOM is on the Item's schedule.  It is auto calculated after an item is added with Units/Weight values and is saved.  For example, if a line item has a Cost UOM of kg and the line item's quantity is entered in Lbs, the Scheduled Qty value will display the line item's quantity in kg. 

Database Field:  ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.ScheduledQuantity

Unit UOM

Identifies the unit of measure that the units are stored in (Box, Bag, Case, Each, Tote, etc.) for a line item or on the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required if the item is managed by 'Units Only' or by 'Units and Weight'. Before an item is selected, this field will default as blank and the lookup will not include any values. Once an item is selected, this field will default from the 'Inventory Unit UOM' field set up on the 'Properties' tab of the Item record view. This field will be disabled if the item is managed by 'Weight Only'. This field can always be edited until the transaction is in a status of 'Closed'.

The lookup contains the current assigned value and a list of all 'Active' Unit UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMName, ERPX_IMItem.UOMScheduleSK, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.OrderedUnitsUOMSK

Units

Identifies the number of units for the line item. This is a numeric text box that is required if the item is managed by 'Units Only' or by 'Units and Weight'. It defaults to "0.00" and is only enabled if the selected item is managed by 'Units Only' or by 'Units and Weight'. If enabled, this field can always be edited while the transaction is in a status of 'Open' or 'Released'. If enabled, this field must be a positive number, else the message “[ProductionOrderID]: Item [Item ID] must be saved with positive Unit and Weight quantities” or “[ProductionOrderID]: Item [Item ID] must be saved with positive Units quantity.” will be displayed on Save. The number of decimal places displayed will be based on the 'Unit Decimals' field on the Item record view. Additionally, a footer total will be displayed for this field.

If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

  • For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

    • When Units are entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

  • For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

    • When Units are entered: the weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units value. The Units value does not have to be an integer.

  • For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

    • When Units go from empty to a value: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

    • When Units go from one value to another: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer but the weight will NOT be recalculated.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.OrderedUnits, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.BOMUnits

Warehouse Lot

Identifies the Warehouse Lot to which the selected item or inventory lot belongs. This is a text box that is not required. This field is enabled for Sites where the 'Warehouse Lot Tracked' field is set to "Yes - Allow multiple items in single lots" or "Yes - Limit Warehouse Lots to single items". This field is disabled for Sites where the 'Warehouse Lot Tracked' field is set to "No". If enabled, this field is always editable until the transaction is in a status of 'Closed'. The value entered in this field will auto-populate on the associated line item on a recorded production transaction.

A Warehouse Lot (aka Storage Lot) is used by 3rd party distribution sites to identify a unique quantity of product they are storing. Unlike a Production Batch number that never changes, Warehouse Lots will change as product is transferred to other Sites and/or transferred into exiting Warehouse Lots within the same Site. The 'Warehouse Lot' is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line on a transaction for a Warehouse Lot Tracked Site. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Warehouse Lot Tracked Sites on screens that include a Warehouse Lot field.

An Inventory Lot is the most granular level that item balances (quantities of Units and/or Weight) are stored within NorthScope. Inventory Lots are created for all Inventory Items assigned an Item Type of “Inventory', regardless of whether the Item is Lot Tracked (i.e., balances are maintained by Production Batch) or the Site containing the product is 'Warehouse Lot' tracked or not. 

An Inventory Lot is unique by combination of:

  • Item: The Item ID (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • SiteThe Site/Warehouse that contains the inventory (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • Production BatchThe date code or other traceability reference that stays with product and never changes. It is required for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "Yes" and will be blank for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "No"
  • Warehouse LotThe identifier or location within a Site/Warehouse, this is most typically used for 3rd party distribution sites. It is required for 'Inventory Lots' in a Warehouse Lot tracked Site and will be blank for 'Inventory Lots' in a non Warehouse Lot tracked Site. This has nothing to do with whether the Item is 'Lot Tracked' or not. 
  • Owner: Identifies who owns the product. This is required for all Inventory Lots.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.WarehouseLotID

Weight

Identifies the weight for the line item. This is a numeric text box that is required if the item is managed by 'Weight Only' or by 'Units and Weight'. It defaults to "0.00" and is only enabled if the selected item is managed by 'Weight Only' or 'Units and Weight'. If enabled, this field can always be edited while the transaction is in a status of 'Open' or 'Released'. If enabled, this field must be a positive number, else the message “Request 1 [ProductionOrderID]: Item [Item ID] must be saved with positive Unit and Weight quantities” or “Request 1 [ProductionOrderID]: Item [Item ID] must be saved with positive Weight quantity" will be displayed on Save. The number of decimal places displayed will be based on the 'Weight Decimals' field on the Item record view. Additionally, a footer total will be displayed for this field.

If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

  • For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

    • When Weight is entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest weight that results in a whole unit then the units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value.

  • For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

    • When Weight is entered: the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value. The Weight value does not have to result in an integer Units value.However, because the Units and Weight values round to two decimal places, if the rounded Units value produced by the weight value does not convert to equal the weight value, the weight value will automatically update to equal the converted value of the units since the item is a fixed weight item.

  • For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

    • When Weight goes from empty to a value: the value will be rounded up to the nearest weight that results in a whole unit then the units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value.

    • When Weight goes from one value to another: the units will NOT be recalculated.

Weight UOM

Identifies the unit of measure that the weight is stored in (Lbs, Kg, Oz, Ton, etc.) for a line item or on the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required if the item is managed by 'Weight Only' or by 'Units and Weight'. Before an item is selected, this field will default as blank and the lookup will not include any values. Once an item is selected, this field will default from the 'Inventory Weight UOM' field set up on the 'Properties' tab of the Item record view. This field will be disabled if the item is managed by 'Units Only'. This field can always be edited until the transaction is in a status of 'Closed'. 

The lookup contains the current assigned value and a list of all 'Active' Weight UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMName, ERPX_IMItem.UOMScheduleSK, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.OrderedWeightUOMSK

Yield Quantity

Identifies the conversion of the quantity of the line item to the Production Order Yield UOM quantity.  This is a system assigned non-editable field that is not required.  It only applies to line items where the 'Include in Yield' is set to 'Yes' and the Item's UOM Schedule includes the Yield UOM specified on the Production Order transaction, else it is blank. 

This is a calculated field that is not stored in the database.

Add Items Adds a blank line in the grid to allow for data entry. If a valid Item ID is entered, the line will be saved. If not, the 'Item Lookup' window will open allowing users to search for the Item.
Column Filter Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
Excel Exports the contents of the grid to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view, or excluded columns, only the contents in the grid will be exported. 
Group By Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total.
