Production Planning and Control - III |

Completion Confirmations
For each operation of a production order, a completion confirmation
number is generated automatically by the system. The completion
confirmation can be realized in two ways. Either by its number
or by the production order and operation number. It is possible
to read those numbers as bar code. With defining milestones
in the operation control key it is possible, to confirm automatically
all preliminary operations with milestones approved.
For one operation there are more than one completion confirmations.
The entered values are cumulated by the system. When receiving
completion confirmations they can also scrap and its reason
can be registered and displayed in a table.
With completion confirmation of the last operation the goods
receiving posting can be activated in the background for the
material which is produced. Because of the continuous updating
of the actual values with each completion confirmation in
the production order, an adjusted costing is possible.
Goods receipt from Production Orders
Due to an independent transaction within inventory management,
all end products are posted after completion as inward stock
movements. If the end product contains components with stock
movements controlled by back flush, a goods issue will be posted
automatically for those components.
Adjusted Costing
When generating a production order, a costing sheet is assigned
to it, taking into account production order type. With batch
processes a standard and actual costing realized. New actual
values are generated when changes, updated in production orders,
occur. Corresponding to the chosen costing sheet is a comparison
between standard and actual costing of a production order
possible. Consequently, the order balance and plant stock
can be analysed.
Order Accounting
Due to the completion confirmation process it is possible,
to accomplish an order independent product costing analysis.
On basis of a standard price controlled valuation, the difference
between actual and target costs is posted automatically on
balance sheet accounts. Moreover, the moving average price
is adjusted. Therefore, the stock value is always up-to-date,
independent of the valuation based on either standard price
or moving average price. An availability check can be realized
automatically when creating a production order.
Availability Check
An availability check can be done as well when displaying
components of a production order. Consequently, the user is
able to see, whether or not components are available and in
which amount. Therefore, it is guaranteed that no production
order will be released before not all parts are provided.
External Processing
There is a control key in the operation which allow users
to declare external processes. When releasing such an operation,
a purchase requisition account initially assigned is generated
for the purchase department by the system. The account assignment
comprises the production order number and, when available,
the accounts of operation (e. g. customer order). It is possible
to select each external process with status check.
