PRODUCTION CONTROL SETTINGS

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.

MO Numbering Method

Manufacturing order numbers can contain a maximum of 10 characters.

Manual

Select this option to manually enter the manufacturing order ID.

Warehouse

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.

Project

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.

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.
