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.

Status is used to identify where a transaction, Purchase Order, Price List, BOM, or Master File record is in its life cycle. Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type. The Statuses that apply to transactions in this List View include: Recurring: This status is used to signify a "source" production order that can be cloned to make new Production Orders. It cannot be used to record production and are never included in the Available Balance calculations. While in the Status of 'Recurring', all editable fields are open for edit. New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist. Scheduled: This status is used to signify that the transaction is visible on the Production Schedule. While in the Status of 'Scheduled', all editable fields are open for edit. Released: This status is used to signify that the transaction is ready to be released to production. While in the Status of 'Released', all editable fields are open for edit.

Column Headers | Description |
---|---|
Checkbox | Used 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:
It is editable until the Production Order is in a status of Closed. Database Fields: ERPx_IMBOMItem.IncludeInYield, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.IncludeInYield |
Item: Description | Identifies the Item, displayed as Item ID: Item Description. This is a single-select standard lookup that is allows the user to select the item for which to include in the transaction. This is a required field. This field defaults to blank and is editable until the transaction is Saved. The lookup contains a list of all the 'Active' inventory-tracked items configured in the Items Master File (Inventory > Items). Selecting the Item will default the Units UOM and Weight UOM fields based on the Item properties. Database Fields: ERPx_IMItem.ItemID, ERPx_IMItem.ItemDescription, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.ItemSK |
Line Reference | Identifies a reference for a line item. This is an editable text box that defaults to blank and is not required.

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:
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:
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:
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:
Database Fields: ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.OrderedWeight, ERPx_IMProductionOrderDetail.BOMWeight |
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.

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. |
