Production Transaction Record View (3.0)

The Inventory Production Transaction Record View allows users to record the results of production, whether they are the item(s) that were made (Production Output) or the items consumed (Production Inputs). This transaction allows multiple items to be recorded at once and allows each individual item to be recorded as an Output (production) or an Input (production issue).  The 'Include open Production transactions in Available balances' preference will determine whether Available balances are updated before the transaction is posted. Once the transaction is posted, it will update the On Hand lot balance of the item(s).

Production #: [Transaction ID]
FieldsDescription
Date

Identifies the date of the transaction. This is a date picker that is required. If missing, the message "Transaction Date is required" will be displayed on Save. It defaults to the current date, formatted from the users 'Date Format' preference. This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.TransactionDate

Production Batch Dates

Identifies whether the Production Batch Date value should be auto assigned or not.  This is a single select lookup that is required and defaults from the corresponding transaction class 'Auto Assign Production Dates' property.  When the option 'Default from Transaction Date' is selected, the Batch Date will automatically be assigned with the date of the transaction for Output line type items on Save. If 'Do not default' is selected the Batch Date will be blank on Save.  This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This only affects lot tracked Output line type items and does not update existing line items when the value is changed. For example, if the line item is added from Find Output Lots that has an existing Batch Date from a lot. 

This lookup contains the options 'Do not default' and 'Default from Production Date'. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.AutoAssignProductionBatchDates

Production Batch IDs

Identifies the string/value to populate the Production Batch ID for line items. This is a textbox that is not required and defaults from the corresponding transaction class 'Production Batch String' property, when the 'Auto Assign Production Batches' property is set to 'Yes' on the class.  This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'.  This only affects new lot tracked Output line type items and does not update existing line items when the value is changed.  For detailed information on how this works and the Keywords and validation rules, please see this FAQ.

(lightbulb) This is only visible on a Production Transaction when the 'Auto Assign Production Batches' property is set to 'Yes' on the corresponding Transaction Class. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.ProductionBatchString

Production Order

Identifies the Production Order ID that is linked to the Production transaction.  This is a textbox that is not required and is editable prior to the initial Save of a valid Production Order ID, or while in a status of 'New' if not entered.  If the Production transaction is created from the Production Order record view via the "Record Production" button, this field will be automatically set to the Production Order ID. Else, users can manually enter a valid Production Order ID, if the value entered is not a valid ID or is a partial ID that matches other values, the lookup will open for users to either search for the value or select the ID they are looking for. The lookup will not contain Production Orders that are in a status of 'Closed' or 'Recurring'.  This field defaults as blank unless the Production transaction was recorded from the Production Order transaction.

Loads Production Order Items (Inputs and Outputs) onto the transaction. The following values default from the Production Order transaction onto the new Production transaction:

  • Line Item Property: Item
  • Line Item Property: Units (defaults to 0.00)

Identifies the name of the Site (Warehouse) that the transaction, shipment, receipt, item, or lot is associated with. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required. If missing, the message "Site is required." will be displayed on Save. This defaults as blank and is not editable after initial Save. 

Sites represent Plants, Warehouses, Distribution Centers, or virtual objects that are used to store and/or maintain perpetual inventory balances.

The lookup contains a list of all the 'Active' Inventory Sites.

Database Fields: ERPx_MFSite.SiteName, ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.SiteSK

Status
Identifies the Status of the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that defaults as 'New' and is required. This is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New' or 'Approved'.

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:

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.  

Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned.

Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations and applies to all transactions. While in the Status of 'Ready to Post' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled with the exception any fields that are always editable and updates the Transaction Status to "Posted".

Database Fields: ERPx_IMTransactionStatus.TransactionStatusName, ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.TransactionStatusSK

Work Order

Displays a text box for the user to enter the default Work Order for the transaction. This is a text box that is not required. If entered, this field must be <= 50 characters. It defaults as blank and is always editable when the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. The value entered in this field will act as a default Work Order line item value for all line items after the transaction is saved.

A Work Order is used to link multiple transactions together, usually for Lot Tracing and/or yield analysis. Unlike a Production Order which is a NorthScope object, a work order is a free text field. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.WorkOrderID

Yield Input

Identifies the total Yield Quantity for Input line items set to be included in Yield in the Yield UOM.  This is a non-editable numeric textbox that is formatted to 2 decimals.

Allow creation of new Input Lots

Identifies whether inventory lots can be auto-created if they do not already exist. This setting applies to Input Lots. This is a single-select load on demand lookup that is required. It defaults from the 'Auto-Create New Lots - Inputs' property in the 'Properties' tab of the associated Transaction Class Record View. This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. If set to "Not Allowed" and the transaction would result in the creation of a new inventory lot, the message "Lots would be created when Auto-Create Lots - Inputs is Not Allowed" will be displayed on Save.

(lightbulb) If Sales Order allocation preferences are set to either “Available Only” or “Available and On Hand” and a Sales order has been allocated prior to a user updating the Inventory “Negative Available Balances - Inputs” property, it is possible to draw the lots negative.   

(lightbulb) A message will be displayed to the user if lot balances are negative and a new transaction is created which would impact those balances positively, however the overall balances would still be negative.  For example, if the lot balance is -10 Cases and a Production transaction adds 5 Cases, the overall lot balance would still be negative. The following options are possible workarounds: 

  •  Change the Production transaction's "Negative Available Balances - Inputs" property to "Allowed"
  •  Change the Production transaction to result in a zero or greater inventory balance.
  •  Use Cycle Count feature to change inventory balance to zero or greater.

  • If the line item was auto added from a BOM then this field will default the value "BOM"

  • Else this field will default the value "Manual"

This lookup contains all the values in the IMProductionLineSource Enumeration Class.

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.IMProductionLineSourceEN

Line Type

Identifies the type of the line item. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required. It defaults to "Output", but can be changed to By-Product, and is always editable.

This lookup contains all the values in the IMLineItemType Enumeration Class where Enumeration Value = 1,3.

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.LineItemTypeEN

Line Work Order

In some instances the Production transaction is used to enter production results in bulk, across multiple Work Orders. When this occurs, assigning the Work Order as the default 'Work Order' on the transaction header would not work. In situations like this, the Work Order can be specifically assigned to each line item. This is a text box that is not required. This field defaults from the 'Work Order' field in the 'Home' tab of this Record View. This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field must be <= 100 characters.

A Work Order is used to link multiple transactions together, usually for Lot Tracing and/or yield analysis. Unlike a Production Order which is a NorthScope object, a work order is a free text field. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.WorkOrder

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_IMTransactionDetail.IMItemSort, ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.IMItemSortOverride

Lot Tracked

Identifies whether or not item balances are maintained for "Production Batches". This is a non-editable text box that is not required. This value defaults from the 'Lot Tracked' field in the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. It displays as "Yes" if the line item is a lot tracked item. It displays as blank if the item is not a lot tracked item. This field is for informational use only and cannot be edited.   

Database Fields: ERPx_IMItem.TrackMethodEN, ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.ItemSK

Owner

Identifies a the Lot Owner for a line item. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required. It defaults from the 'Default Owner' preference on the Inventory Preferences page. This field is editable until a line item has been saved.

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 a list of all Lot Owners.

Database Field: ERPx_IMLotOwner.OwnerName

Pct. Total Yield

Identifies the percentage of the total yield quantity for the line item.  This is a numeric field that is auto calculated as [Yield Quantity] / total [Yield Quantity] for the Line Type group * 100 that is rounded to 2 decimals.  For example, if there are 2 Input line items one with 500Lbs and one with 300Lbs, the Pct. Total Yield for Item 1 would be 500/800 * 100 = 62.50% and for Item 2 would be 300/800 * 100 = 37.5%.  This is not required and never editable. 

Note: If there are any rounding differences, the difference will be added to the first line item with the highest yield quantity. 

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

Production Batch

Identifies the Production Batch ID of the Lot. This is a text box that is only required to save a line item on a transaction in 'Approved' or greater status if the item selected is Lot Tracked. It defaults as blank and is only editable if the selected item is Lot Tracked and the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field must be <= 50 characters.

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.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ProductionLotID, ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.ItemSK

Storage Begin Date

Identifies the date a cold storage began (or will begin) charging storage. This is typically set to a value of one month after the initial receipt date. Cold Storages typically charge for both "Storage" and "Handling", and this is the date the storage portion begins. Storage is typically billed monthly and is calculated by multiply a pre-determined storage rate * Lbs in the Warehouse Lot. This defaults to the value saved on the Warehouse Lot record if one exists, else it is blank.  It is never editable on the grid of this page, however users can mass update a value for a line item that has a Warehouse Lot value saved, and this value can be edited on the Warehouse Lots List View. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMWarehouseLot.StorageBeginDate

Storage Renewal Day

Identifies the day of the month that the cold storage will bill for a Warehouse Lot. If there are any quantity balances remaining on that day, a new storage bill will be issued.
 This defaults to the value saved on the Warehouse Lot record if one exists, else it is blank.  It is never editable on the grid of this page, however users can mass update a value for a line item that has a Warehouse Lot value saved, and this value can be edited on the Warehouse Lots List View.  It must be a number between 1 - 31 that represents the day of the 'Storage Begin Date'. If a Storage Begin Date is provided and the Storage Renewal Day is blank, the value will be automatically calculated and assigned.  For example, if the Storage Begin Date = 02/26/2024, the Storage Renewal Day would be 26.  Users cannot enter 0 as a value, but the field is not required and may be blank.

Database Field: ERPx_IMWarehouseLot.StorageRenewalDay

Units

Identifies the number of units to be added or subtracted for the corresponding item in the inventory lot.This is a numeric text box that is sometimes required. This field is required and editable only if the item is managed by Units Only or Units or Weight. This field defaults to 0 and is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field can be both positive or negative. This field will display the number of decimals set for the selected item on the 'Unit Decimals' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. 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.

(lightbulb) If Units are edited and the Line Source is either 'BOM' or 'Production Order BOM', the 'BOM Qty Override' field will be set to 'Yes'.  Additionally, the Units value will not recalculate if the related BOM Output item's Quantity is edited. 

(lightbulb) 'Units' and 'Unit UOM' fields will always display as the values entered by the user. However for consistency, Units that are saved using a UOM that is different than the 'Inventory Unit UOM' will be converted and subsequently stored in the default Inventory Unit UOM. 

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.TransactionUnits

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 to save a line item on transactions with a Status of 'Approved' or greater. This field will be disabled if the item is managed by Weight Only. If enabled, it will default from the 'Inventory Unit UOM' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View for the selected Item. If enabled, this field will be editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'.

This lookup contains all 'Active' Unit UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMName, ERPX_IMItem.UOMScheduleSK, ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.TransactionUnitsUOMSK

Warehouse Lot

Identifies the Warehouse Lot to which the selected item or inventory lot belongs. This is a single-select standard lookup that is sometimes required to save a line item on transactions with a Status of 'Approved' or greater. It is required when the 'Site', identified on the transaction header, is a warehouse lot tracked Site and is disabled when it is not. If required and blank, the message "Warehouse Lot is required for Warehouse Lot Tracked sites when Approving or Posting." will be displayed on Save of Statuses of 'Approved' or greater. This field defaults as blank and will be disabled if the 'Site' field on the transaction is not warehouse lot tracked. If enabled, this field is editable via the Mass Update Dialog while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field must be <= 50 characters.

The transaction will validate the Warehouse Lot based on the following:

  • If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and allows multiple items, the transaction will allow multiple items to be coded to the same warehouse lot and will create the warehouse lot with the default item selection of 'All Items Selected'.
  • If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and allows multiple items and the warehouse lot ID entered for an item on the transaction already exists, the transaction will verify the warehouse lot is either set to 'All Items Selected' or the specific item is selected.
  • If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and only allows single items, the transaction will restrict multiple items from being coded to the same warehouse lot and it will create the warehouse lot for the first item code on the transaction and will prompt an error for the next item trying to save to the same warehouse lot.
  • If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and only allows single item and the warehouse lot ID entered for an item on the transaction already exists, the transaction will verify the warehouse lot is set to the specific item that is selected.
  • If the selected site is not warehouse lot tracked, no warehouse lots can be entered.

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.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMWarehouseLot.WarehouseLotID, ERPx_IMLotBalance.WarehouseLotSK

Weight

Identifies the weight amount to be added or subtracted for the corresponding item in the inventory lot. This is a numeric text box that is sometimes required. This field is required and editable only if the item is managed by Weight Only or Units or Weight Only. This field defaults to 0 and is editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field can be both positive or negative. Once an item has been selected, this field will display with the number of decimals set for the 'Weight Decimals' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. 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 Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value and then be rounded to the next whole Unit. Weight will remain as the user entered Weight, per the Item's 'Weight Decimals'.

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

(lightbulb) If Weight is edited and the Line Source is either 'BOM' or 'Production Order BOM', the 'BOM Qty Override' field will be set to 'Yes'.  Additionally, the Weight value will not recalculate if the related BOM Output item's Quantity is edited. 

(lightbulb) 'Weight' and 'Weight UOM' fields will always display as the values entered by the user. However for consistency, weight that is saved using a UOM different than the 'Inventory Weight UOM' will be converted and subsequently stored in the default Inventory Weight UOM.

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.TransactionWeight

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 to save a line item on transactions with a Status of 'Approved' or greater. This field will be disabled if the item is managed by Units Only. If enabled, it will default from the 'Inventory Weight UOM' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View for the selected Item. If enabled, this field will be editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'.

This lookup contains all 'Active' Weight UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMName, ERPX_IMItem.UOMScheduleSK, ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.TransactionWeightUOMSK

Yield Quantity

Identifies the conversion of the quantity of the line item to the Production 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 transaction, else it is blank. 

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

Cost Items Grid Toolbar

Toolbar IconsDescription
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. 
Quick Column Filter Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden. The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text.
Remove Items

 Removes the selected line(s). When clicked, you are prompted with the message "Are you sure you want to delete n item(s)? Okay or Cancel". This cannot be done on transactions with a Status of 'Approved', Ready to Post', 'Posted', 'Closed', 'Void', or 'Replaced'.

Cost Items that are associated with a BOM record cannot be deleted, the message "[Cost Item ID] could not be deleted because it was added from a BOM." will be displayed on Save.

Saved Layouts Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

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. 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, and the Ln. values will be re-set to base-10 values.

For example, if you had 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).
