MRP Production Project

The “MRP Production Project” module purpose is to enhance the OpenValue Manufacturing Execution solution by integrating the Production module with the Project and Timesheets ones. Therefore, it is possible to achieve as follows:

·       to assign a project as cost object to a manufacturing order (all analytic lines are posted on the analytic account set at project level) and

·       to charge timesheets on tasks linked to workorders.

Bill of Materials

·       An operation can be set as a “timesheet” one (timesheets indicator has to be set) to collect timesheets; its expected duration is automatically set as zero and a system check avoids to set incidentally a time cycle different to zero.

Manufacturing Order

·       The timesheets indicator is set automatically on a workorder created with reference to a timesheet operation in a BoM; the expected duration is set automatically to zero and a system check at confirmation phase avoids to set incidentally an expected duration different to zero

·       A timesheet workorder can be created manually also by setting its timesheets indicator: the expected duration is set automatically to zero and a system error checks to have incidentally a value different to zero

·       The project assigned as cost object at manufacturing order level has to have the timesheet indicator set (a system error checks it)

·       The analytic account is automatically filled with the one assigned to the project: all analytic postings (components consumption, workorder postings, …. see the product costing module for any detail) are posted on this analytic account.

·       A check avoids to set incidentally an analytic account different to the one linked to the project

·       When scheduling manufacturing orders, a task is automatically created for each timesheet workorder and both are automatically linked each other’s

·       It is not possible to start or block manually a timesheet workorder; therefore, for closing it the confirmation tool has to be used

Tasks

·       Tasks under the project assigned to the manufacturing order are automatically created at manufacturing order scheduling

·       A task is created for each timesheet workorder (workorder with the timesheet indicator set)

·       Timesheets can be entered and reported on manufacturing order

·       It is not possible (system check) to enter timesheet when the linked workorder has been closed or cancelled either

Timesheets

·       Timesheets are collected at workorder level and at manufacturing order level

Workorder Confirmation

·       The workorder confirmation tool has been enhanced for managing timesheet workorders also

·       For timesheet workorders all times are set to zero and both the start date and end date are automatically set as the current date

Manufacturing Times

All production times are collected in a proper page with the following figures calculated in real time:

·       The standard times are related to the operations BoM as follows:

o   Total setup time is calculated as the sum of all times before production entered at work-center level; the timesheet workorders are excluded

o   Total working time is the overall working time for processing all workorders

o   Total teardown time is calculated as the sum of all times after production entered at work-center level; the timesheet workorders are excluded

·       The planned times are calculated from workorders and frozen at manufacturing order confirmation; in detail we have:

o   Planned times as sum of all expected durations of workorders created with reference to a BoM operation

o   Unplanned times as before for workorders created manually (not referenced to a BoM operation)

·       The actual times are the sum of actual times entered at workorder confirmation phase

·       The overall effort entered through timesheet is reported also
