Production Entry (MCE130)

How To

This program allows you to enter production tickets for bill of material finished items.

Processing Details

The Production Entry screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where the finished item number, number of units to be produced, etc. are entered. The lower portion is called the line-item portion where the component items, number of units required, etc. are entered.

The user has the option of changing, adding to, removing line-items from or deleting the production ticket at any time. Deleted production ticket numbers may be used again.

A number of additional features are available in the Production Entry program:

Existing production planning for the bill of material finished item may be displayed. Production tickets are available for printing using the Production Ticket Print. Production tickets may later be confirmed and a register may be run to update on-hand quantities.

EWMS Processing Note

The Production Entry (MCE130) program checks to determine if the production ticket you are going to change has been waved by Radio Beacon. If is has you will not be able to modify it, if it has not, the system sends a ‘nuke’ record to Radio Beacon causing this ticket to be removed. It will then need to be reprinted in order to get it sent back down to Radio Beacon.

Access this program by choosing Manufacturing Control-->Bill of Materials-->Production Entry.
