General
- Variant handling
- Indicate if the system should be able to handle alternative bill of materials and bill of routings. If this field is set to YES, the Variant field will be displayed on the maintenance and enquiry panels for the bill of material and bill of routing. Note: The system uses the main variant (000) of the bill of material for the creation of order proposals in the material capacity requirement function.
- Warehouse in BOM
- Indicate if it should be possible to define a warehouse for an item in a bill of material and an operation in a bill of routing. This function can, for example, be used if the items in a bill of material are manufactured in different warehouses. Note: This field can only be set to YES if the Cost by warehouse system value is set to YES in the DIS control file.
- Log BOM/BOR changes
- Indicate if all changes (add/change/delete) to bill of materials and bill of routings in Basic Data should be logged. If this field is set to YES, you will be able to view and/or print structure information for a specific date in passed time.
- Calendar manufact
- Enter a code from the Calendar ID table indicating the manufacturing calendar to be used. The selected calendar is used to validate dates on manufacturing order header level.
- Op times in min/dec
- Enter a code indicating if operation times should be displayed/maintained in hours and decimal or hours and minutes.
Code Description 1 Decimal 2 Minutes
Availability check
- Days before shortage
- Enter the number of days before shortage. This is used as an administration time in days between the manufacturing orders and the sales order demands.
- Mtrl shortage check
- Enter a value to be used for disposal check at material clearance.
Code Description 1 Day by day. Enter value 1 if disposal date for the component should be the first possible date where needed quantity is available. 2 Total planning time. Enter value 2 if all existing reservations within the lead time should be taken into consideration when calculating the disposal date for components.
- Critical resrcs only
- Only displayed if the DC1 Manufacturing finite planning functionality is activated in Work with companies. Set this field to YES if only critical resources should be included when calculating the capacity shortage. Work centres and tools can be defined as critical resources. This value is used when calculating capacity from Sales order, Manufacturing order, MRP, Batch clearance and Pull Planning. It is also used as the default value at Material/capacity clearance enquiry. Set this field to NO if capacity clearance should be made for all resources.
Product costing
- Cost model
- Enter a valid code indicating the cost model to be used for product costing in the system. Note: The cost model must be set up in the Work with Cost models function before you start using the system.
- Item w c price type
- Enter a code indicating the item work centre price type to be used in the system. The item work centre price type controls what price field (standard or actual) should be retrieved from the Work centre file during the Product costing calculation in Basic Data.
Code Description 1 Standard 2 Actual
- Item cost type pc
- Enter a code indicating the item cost type to be used in Product costing. The value in this field is used as the default value in the Product costing online selection and Product costing batch selection panels. It is also used as a control parameter during the update of item standard cost prices.
Code Description 1 Average cost 2 Standard cost 3 FIFO Note: If you enter a different code in the Item cost type field on the Product costing online selection or Product costing batch selection panel, than that defined here you will not be allowed to update the standard cost price. You can, however, run a product costing and either save it as a simulation or not save the results at all.
- Calc with std qty PC
- Indicate if the standard cost should be calculated using the Standard quantity PC instead of the Stock unit from the Item file. If this field is set to YES, the product costing element will be presented according to the standard quantity for PC, but the update to the Item file will be made by stock unit.
Pull planning
- Priority alternative
- Only displayed if the DC1 Pull planning functionality is activated in Work with companies. Enter the alternative indicating from where the forecast values should be retrieved when calculating priority analysis.
Code Description 1 MRP order proposal. 2 Year forecast from item/warehouse or if year forecast item/warehouse is missing from periodical statistics 12 months back. 3 Year forecast from item/warehouse. 4 Period forecast from IC. Note: This value is only permitted if DC1 Inventory Control is activated.
Priority calc N/D-S:
- Numerator N
- Only displayed if the DC1 Pull planning functionality is activated in Work with companies. Mandatory entry. Enter the method for calculating the numerator (N) to be used in the priority value formula (N/D-S).
- Subtraction S
- Only displayed if the DC1 Pull planning functionality is activated in Work with companies. Mandatory entry. Enter the method for calculating the subtraction (S) to be used in the priority value formula (N/D-S).
- Denominator D
- Only displayed if the DC1 Pull planning functionality is activated in Work with companies. Mandatory entry. Enter the method for calculating the denominator (D) to be used in the priority formula (N/D-S).
- Total lead time TLT
- Mandatory entry. Enter the method for calculating the total lead time to be used to retrieve on order, reservations and forecast within a specific time horizon. The following pre-defined variables for calculating the Numerator, Denominator, Subtraction and the Total lead-time (TLT) may be referenced as follows:
