Production Entry (MCE130)

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:

A bill of material finished item search may be performed.
A component item search may be performed.
Memo lines may be entered.
A memo may be entered for each component.

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.

After the header record is created, all header fields except #1-3 are accessible through the change header routine. Fields #1-3 can only be changed by deleting and reentering the production ticket.

Upon completion of the header, the on-order quantities are updated for the warehouse for the BOM finished item.

Line numbers are assigned automatically beginning with 001 and incrementing by one for each additional line-item up to 999.

Upon completion of the header, the program automatically displays the required component line-items. The units required of the component items are calculated based on the number of finished units entered in the header. Once the component line-items are added, the committed quantities are updated in the warehouse for those component items.
