Use this screen to establish control parameters and default data used throughout the module. Set up this screen when initializing Costpoint Production Control and maintain it whenever changes are needed to the control parameters.
Manufacturing order numbers can contain a maximum of 10 characters.
Select this option to manually enter the manufacturing order ID.
Select this option to have the system assign a manufacturing order ID by warehouse. This is the system default. You must set up a last transaction ID (containing up to 10 alphanumeric characters) in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses (Materials » Inventory » Inventory Controls) screen before the system can generate a new manufacturing order ID, and the Auto-Assign field in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses screen must be set to Y. To have manufacturing order IDs generate in correct numeric order, you must select a ceiling number not to exceed 10 digits. For example, if the highest number desired is 9999999999, enter zero as 0000000000; or if the highest number desired is MO-9999, and the last ID used was MO-124, enter that number as MO-0124.
Select this option to have the system assign a manufacturing order ID by inventory project. You must set up a Last MO ID (containing up to 10 alphanumeric characters) in the Inventory Projects (Materials » Inventory » Inventory Controls) screen before the system can generate a new manufacturing order ID. To have manufacturing order IDs generate in correct numeric order, you must select a ceiling number not to exceed 10 digits. For example, if the highest number desired is 9999999999, enter zero as 0000000000; or if the highest number desired is MO-9999, and the last ID used was MO-124, enter that number as MO-0124.

Select this option to use the standard calendar when backscheduling requirements from lead time. This is the system default.
Select this option to use the shop calendar when backscheduling requirements from lead time.
Select this check box to allow timesheet charges on newly completed MOs. This defaults the Allow Timesheet Charges flag on newly completed MOs to Y (Yes).
Select this check box to allow inventory issues on newly completed MOs. This defaults the Allow Material Issues flag on newly completed MOs to Y (Yes).
Select this check box to allow subcontractor charges on newly completed MOs. This defaults the Allow Subcontractor Charges flag on newly completed MOs to Y (Yes).
Select this check box to require users to enter routing sequence/step numbers on MO timesheets.
Select this check box to require users to enter work centers on MO timesheets.
Select this check box to allow planners to change MO routing lines after they are copied from the standard routing table.
Select this check box to allow planners to change MO requirement lines after they are copied from the BOM table.
Select this check box to allow MO build quantities to be split to multiple inventory abbreviations.
Select this check box to allow MOs to be created for parts that are not yet released.
Select this check box to allow unreleased routings to be copied to a MO.
Select this check box to have the MO status updated to In-Shop when a timesheet is charged to it.
Select this check box to have the ID of a MO's reservation set to the MO ID.
Select this check box to auto-load capacity planning-only routing lines (where the Step Type is P for the routing line in the Maintain Routings and/or Release Routings (Materials » Routings » Routings) screens) to new manufacturing orders. Routing lines, which are assigned to MOs in the Routings subtask of the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen, can be automatically loaded in the subtask if they exist for the Build Part. However, if you clear this check box and attempt to auto-load routing lines in the Routings subtask of the Enter Manufacturing Orders screen, capacity planning-only routing lines are excluded from the table window. This check box's setting is also used by the Download Manufacturing Orders application (in the Advanced Planning and Scheduling menu in Product Interfaces (Others » Product Interfaces)) to determine how MO data is downloaded.
Enter, or use to select, the inventory abbreviation that should be used as the default common stock inventory abbreviation for planning.
Select this check box to display charging employee name/ID on the timesheet section of the MO status inquiry.
Select this check box to include MRB inventory as available inventory for planning.
Select this check box to include planned scrap and yield quantities on MO requirements and pick lists.
Select this check box to include planned scrap/yield quantities when calculating requisition/order quantities during planning.
Use this drop-down list to limit the ability to relieve an MO when total MO relieved quantity exceeds accepted quantity for one or more QC inspection routing steps (as specified in the MO Routing table). This provides an additional control to ensure that only parts that have passed inspection are moved back into inventory.
This allows you to specify, at the company-level, how you want this validation performed. Your choices are:
No Validation - No validation check is performed against QC inspection quantities.
Warning - If a positive quantity relief makes the total MO relieved quantity greater than the accepted quantity for one or more QC inspection routing steps for the MO, a warning displays but you can ignore it.
Hard Error - If a positive quantity relief makes the total MO relieved quantity greater than the accepted quantity for one or more QC inspection routing steps for the MO, an error displays and you cannot proceed.
Use this drop-down list to limit the ability to complete a Manufacturing Order when there are open requirements. This provides an additional control to ensure that relieved parts are costed correctly and that component inventory is properly issued.
This allows you to specify, at the company-level, how you want this validation performed. Your choices are:
No Validation - No validation check is performed against open requirements.
Warning - If there are open inventory requirements, a warning displays but you can ignore it.
Hard Error - If there are open inventory requirements, an error displays and you cannot proceed.
