Finished Item Entry (MCE220)

How To

This program allows you to enter formulation finished items. The Finished Item Entry screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where general information such as the finished item number, overhead, and labor factors are entered. The lower portion of the screen is called the line-item portion where each packaging item and quantity used to make the formulation finished item is entered.

Once the finished item is set up in this program, production planning may be entered as well as actual production.

The user has the option of changing, adding to, removing line-items from or deleting the package item at any time.

A formulation finished item must be set through the Item F/M program and the BOM/FORMULA flag must be set to F before the finished item may be set up. All packaging items (items which are used to produce the formulation finished item) must also be set up through the Item F/M program.

Use the following fields to create a formulation finished item:

1. Finished Item

Enter the finished item number. The entry must be a valid finished item number which displays the description(s) and stocking unit of measure. F3 allows a search. Press F3 or $image\opendoc_shg.gif$ to search for items. Press F2 or $image\find_shg.gif$ to search for finished items

2. Overhead

Enter the overhead cost of producing this finished item as an amount or a percentage. If entered as a percentage, enter the number and a % before pressing Enter (CR).

3. Labor

Enter the labor cost of producing this finished item as an amount or a percentage. If entered as a percentage, enter the number and a % before pressing Enter (CR).

4. Formula #

Enter the formula number used to make up this finished item (i.e., formula contains the ingredients). Press F2 or $image\find_shg.gif$ to search.

5. Quantity

Enter the quantity of the formula needed to produce one finished item, i.e., enter the quantity or amount of the formula (lbs., ounces, boxes, etc.) needed to produce one finished item. Press Enter (CR) to default to the standard quantity produced of the formula.

This concludes the header portion of the Finished Item Entry program. At this time, the header record is created. After the header record is created, all the header fields except #1 are accessible through the change header routine. Field #1 can only be changed by deleting and reentering the formula number.

Line numbers are assigned automatically beginning with 001 and incrementing by one for each additional line-item up to 999. In the rare case where 999 line-items have been entered, the program refuses further entries.

6. Item Number

Enter the packaging item number to be used to produce the finished item. The entry must be a valid number. Valid entries display the item description and stocking unit of measure. Press F2 or $image\find_shg.gif$ to search.

7. Units

Enter the number of units needed to produce one finished item (1-99999999).

8. Memo

Enter the memo to appear on the production ticket (up to 20 characters).
