Description
116229GIN-I-354

GIN-I-354 Selection of Items can now be done without BOM definition

Module:

Admin-User Security-User Profile
Production-Working Plan
Production-Job Order

Enhancement Summary:

Previous functionality

Earlier users had to create a BOM before they could select items in the Working Plan.

Current functionality

A new privilege has been added to the User Profile, "Allow selection of items without BOM definition". If this privilege is set to Ignore then the user will be allowed to select the items even when BOM is not defined. Warning settings are used for allowing the user to define the BOM or proceed without it. If the priviledge is assigned at the Stop status, a message is shown and user is not at all allowed to proceed without BOM creation.

213427GIN-I-355

GIN-I-355 Multiple Routes can now be tagged for production of single item

Module:

Admin-User Security-User Profile
Production-Setup-Route Group Master
Production-Setup-BOM
Production-Working Plan
Production-Job Order
Production-Job Receipt

Enhancement Summary:

Previous functionality

Earlier there was only one route fixed for a particular item and BOM was defined for that particular route only. But in real life scenarios, for production of a single item multiple routes can be followed. Some items may undergo in-house production process as well out-sourcing the production of same item. It is also required where different job workers are making same item, in a large scale production setting, and different jobbers are executing multiple set of process. Change in Route name for an item loses track history of working plan, making it tough to recognize whether the route specified in a Plan is correct or not.

Current functionality

These complexities of the production scenarios have been handled with some new concepts that have been introduced along with a new form in the Production setup called Route Group Master.

The new concepts are:

  • Route Group is created to tag item with respective Route ID
  • The Route Group is date effective and is activated at pre-specified dates.
  • Multiple route groups can be defined for same item.
  • Mandatory selection of Route Group in Working Plan. Now there can be multiple routes for a particular item and based on those routes the BOM for those items may be defined differently.

A new privilege has been introduced in the User Profile - Production tab: "Route Group selection is mandatory in Job Order and Receipt."

Since items are now tagged in Route Group, Job Order and Receipt should ideally be tagged with it for proper tracking of Production process. However, if the user wants he can make it optional in Job Order and Receipt for more flexibility.

Note:

  1. Route ID is not tagged to Item Master any more. The previously defined routes will now be available in a pre-defined Route Group called SYSTEM DEFAULT.
  2. Back dated creation of Working Plan is not allowed in the software from this update.
  3. BOM population


313427GIN-I-559

GIN-I-559 Operation details modification in Working Plan is now restricted on Profile option


Module:

Production-Working Plan

Enhancement Summary:

Now the BOM and operations defined in the Working Plan can only be modified if the privilege, "Allow modification of plan operations in Working Plan", is assigned to a user’s profile in the Production tab. The entire operations and BOM modification is now controlled through profile based privileges.

Scenario:

N.A.

413427GIN-I-356

GIN-I-356 Bills of Material will now have modification version with Approval required


Module:

Production-Setup-BOM

Enhancement Summary:

Bills of Material for production of an item may undergo multiple modifications regularly. Such modification of BOM requires monitoring i.e. what gets modified when and by whom. So, BOM definition / modification now have an approval mechanism executed before getting populated in transactional modules. Moreover, once BOMs are approved and modified then each approved version of the BOM is now available for further tracking.• BOM needs to be approved to be activated.• Tracking of approved BOM modification through versioning.• Multiple BOM definition of same item can be done based on different Route ID. A new privilege, "Allow approval of Bills of Material", has been introduced in the Production tab that has to be assigned to a user for approval of BOM.


Important information

Note:

BOM population is dependent on BOM approval date and not on the date of item creation.

Suppose a BOM for an item has been created and approved on 16th July then BOM population will not be possible on any date before that.

Scenario:
N.A.

13382GIN-I-357

GIN-I-357 Alternate item receiving to be allowed in all operation sequence

Module:

Production-Job Receipt

Enhancement Summary:

Items commonly get changed at the time of production receipt for all manufacturing units. It may happen due to many reasons like shortage of raw materials or incorrect execution of some process etc. The orders still need to be completed by receiving these items from job workers.

Previous functionality

Earlier users could only receive alternate items in either the first or last process of the route defined in the BOM.

Current functionality

Now alternate items can be received in any and all processes defined in the BOM. In Alternate Mode button>Select Matching Job Order Items window, two radio buttons (Restrict selection of items and Populate order item route) have been added in the newly created Items With Missing Routes section.

Note: Items with missing routes could either be items with unspecified routes in the route group of the working plan or items whose processes and their operational sequence do not match the processes and the operational sequence of the order items.

613637GIN-I-280

GIN-I-280 Profile based restriction on creating Job Receipt documents if raw material issue is pending

Module:

Admin - User Security - User Profile
Production - Job Receipt

Enhancement Summary:

Previous functionality

Earlier an alert was given when the user was saving a job receipt which had an item for which some component was yet to be issued. The user could choose to either save the document irrespective of component issue status or check the components to be issued.

Current functionality

A new privilege, “Allow Job Receipt for order having component pending to be issued” has been added to the user profile. The privilege if assigned will allow the user to receive items for which some of the components are pending to be issued. But if the privilege is not assigned to a user, he will be restricted from receiving the items and saving the Job Receipt document until the materials are properly issued and adjusted.

Scenario:

N.A.

716229GIN-I-358

GIN-I-358 Material issue and consumption will be of receiving item in case of Alternate Receipts

Module:

Production - Job Receipt

Enhancement Summary:

Previous functionality

Earlier the ordered item components were issued / consumed whether or not the items received were the ordered items.

Current functionality

Now on receipt of alternate items; a return entry will be passed automatically for components issued for ordered items and an issue entry will be passed and consumed for the alternate item, i.e. material will only be issued and consumed for the received items.

Notes: The following points have to be remembered:

• If the user needs to issue/consume ordered item components for alternate receipts, it cannot be done.
• Non-standard component selected at time of order could not be determined on receiving of alternate item. If required non-standard component for alternate items have to be selected by user manually.

Scenario:

N.A.
