Production Confirmation (MCE250)

How To

This program allows you to confirm formulation production tickets entered through the Production Entry program. The program also allows users to correct production tickets already confirmed and not updated by the Production Register. The confirmation process involves confirming that a formula was produced along with the finished items which use the formula. Once a production ticket is confirmed, it is ready to print on the next Production Register.

The user may access the ticket by ticket number or formula. If accessing by formula number, information for entered, printed and confirmed tickets is displayed in summary so the user may select which ticket to confirm.

The summary screen displays the line number, ticket number, status of ticket (E-entered, P-printed or C-confirmed), warehouse produced in, entry date, scheduled production date and quantity to be produced.

The ticket number to be confirmed is displayed in a format similar to that used in the Production Entry program. The user enters the number of items produced and the date of actual production and each line-item is displayed.

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

Use the following fields to confirming a production ticket:

1. Ticket

Enter the number of the production ticket to be confirmed. If the ticket has not been printed, the user may enter N or YES to confirm it anyway. If N is entered, the program returns to this field for the user to enter another ticket number. Entering YES proceeds with the program. Press F2 or $image\find_shg.gif$ to search for tickets or formulas.

The header portion of the production ticket is displayed. You can modify the following fields:

2. Entered

The date the formulation production ticket was entered in Production Entry (MCE240) displays in this field. You can modify this date.

3. Planned

The planned production date, i.e., date production is scheduled to take place that was entered in Production Entry (MCE240) displays in this field. You can modify this date.

4. Formula to Produce

Enter the quantity of the formula that was actually produced. Press Enter (CR) to default to the number of units entered originally to be produced.

5. Date

Enter the date of actual production (i.e., when the formula was produced). Press Enter (CR) to default to the scheduled production date entered when the ticket was entered originally in the Production Entry program.

This concludes the header portion of the Production Confirmation program. The program automatically displays the finished items. The units required of the finished items are calculated based on the quantity produced of the formula entered in the header.

The line-item portion of the program allows entry of up to 999 finished line-items and memo lines to complete the ticket.

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

6. Serial/Lot # Entry (MC030)

If an ingredient, finished or packaging item is a serial/lot number, FACTS displays the Serial/Lot # Entry (MC030) screen. Enter the serial/lot number of the ingredient, finished or packaging item (where applicable). Refer to the Serial/Lot # Entry (MC030) topic for details.

You can select from the following to perform the listed functions:

$image\edit_shg.gif$ - Changes a line-item Line-items may be changed or deleted by entering the line number to be changed. During this change routine, F1 allows the currently displayed value to remain the same. After changing a finished item, the prompts asks Display packaging lines for this item? Enter N or Y to indicate whether to display packaging items used to produce the finished item.

$image\plus_shg.gif$ - Adds line-items
