Parts Disposition

Parts disposition

Description

With this module, released (order-specific) production parts lists are selected before or for the creation of a gozintograph and combined to a common production lot/order network.

The button "Select orders" lists the possible customer orders, stock orders and preliminary requirements. Identical or similar parts, which are also on schedule, can now be selected - even across orders - as one production lot, for which a single, common gozintograph is then generated.

At the moment, customer orders, stock orders and advance requirements cannot be planned together. For example, several sales order items or stock order items may be combined, but not, for example, a sales order item and a preliminary requirements item.

Although the actual further processing of the gozintograph generated in this way takes place in the"Parts request" module, optional specifications for the automated further processing of the gozintograph can already be made in this parts scheduling module: Automatic determination of the disposition type, the procurement time and execution of a first parts scheduling as forward or backward scheduling.

During the automatic construction of the gozintograph, variant parts are checked again to see if the feature bar is fully developed. If this is not the case, the construction of the Gozintograph is aborted. (A corresponding "Test Create Gozintograph" can be carried out in advance). In the case of variant parts, a new attempt is also made to find a suitable lower part: if this is successful, the variant part is replaced by the lower part in the gozintograph.

The gozintograph is built up in two phases, the progress of which is shown in the bottom status line of the mask:

  1. Phase: Sorting the parts lists according to parts and production stages
  2. Phase: Building the Gozintograph

Important note: Basically all parts of the selected production parts lists are transferred to the Gozintograph. There is, however, one exception: If BOM items have been marked as"constructive assembly" in the master data, these entries will be read over, only the parts underneath (= the BOM items of the BOM item marked as constructive assembly) will be included in the Gozintograph - increased by one production level or decreased by one disposition level. Although in the modules for BOM maintenance the indicator"constructive assembly" can only be set if the part is an MRP production part, this is checked again in phase 2: The identification"constructive assembly" is ignored exactly if a part is no longer an MRP production part.

Functionality

Input window

CX_SALES_ORDER.png With 'Order' the window 'Completed and exploded parts lists' opens. After you have entered an order number, all items of the order are listed which have been successfully exploded.

You can then select individual lines in the list or all lines via the menu item 'Edit - Positions - Select positions'. Copy the marked positions with 'OK' or by drag & drop into the window 'Part disposition'.

This processing window is thus used to compile all the order or advance requirement items that are jointly transferred to production as a collective order. All common parts of this collective order are then planned, scheduled and further processed together in the gozintograph.

Create a test Gozinto

Before creating a gozintograph, some checks can be made to ensure that it is suitable for further processing:

  • Review part by number
  • Check the quantity of the bill of material item: zero, predictability, etc.
  • Validity of the part
  • Logistics identification of the part
  • Check of a possible marking "constructive assembly" in the master bill of materials, but no longer in the exploded production bill of materials
  • Checking the production parts for valid work plan

In addition to the tests carried out prior to the creation of a gozintograph, the tests carried out when the gozintograph is created are also carried out, and if they are unsuccessful they always lead to termination:

  • A gozintograph must not have been created before with the same positions.
  • If a bill of material item contains a variant part, the system searches for all attributes of its characteristics list; if no information is available, processing is terminated.
  • The quantity of an exploded bill of material must correspond exactly to the quantity of the preceding item.
  • In the case of parts list items via order parts with in-house provision, the system checks whether a provision supplier has been selected for the item and whether this item has been exploded.

A double click on a result entry in the list opens directly the editing mask of the parts list item!

Fields
Field Description
Disposition
: Disposition type Specify whether the disposition type is to be determined directly "automatically" (from the master information of the parts) after the parts request (gozintograph) has been set up. If "manual" is selected, this is omitted.
: : automaticThe disposition type is set automatically based on the setting in the logistics account of the part.
: : manualThe disposition type is not set, i.e. it must be set manually for each part individually in the part request.
: Determine procurement time

Specify whether the procurement time is to be determined directly "automatically" (from the master information of the parts) after the parts request (gozintograph) has been created.

The selection "standard values" is only possible if the determination of the disposition type (see above) is set to "automatic". This is omitted if "manual" is selected.

: : Dynamic The procurement time is added from the processing times of the work sequences of the routing. If no routing has been exploded yet, the routing is exploded internally temporarily (transiently) and the lead times are added.
: : Standard values The procurement time is transferred from the master information (logistics account of the parts) to the parts requisition.
: : manual The procurement time is not set, i.e. it must be set manually for each part individually in the parts request.
: Overhang quantities -
: : Automatic consumption

For disposable parts, a possible stock (surplus quantity) is checked. If this exists, the required quantity is firmly reserved for the parts request by means of a stock reset document.

: : Consider scheduled stock orders see here
: : Until minimum stock level Only selectable if the check box "Automatic consumption" is activated. Surplus quantity is consumed until minimum stock level.
: release
: : release with capacity checkWhen production orders are released from the part requisition, a check is made for sufficient capacity.
Scheduling
: Tools Indication whether scheduling should be carried out directly "automatically" after the gozintograph is set up (according to the type of scheduling (see below)). This selection "automatic" is only possible if the determination of the procurement time is also set to "automatic". If "manual" is selected this is not possible.
Which date is to be used as the "end date" can be set via one of the options in the parts request module.

The presetting for these options can be set via the client on the tab"Logistics" in the group Capacity planning / Scheduling!

: : automatic (graphic) The scheduling of the creation of part requirements is carried out using the XGantt tool from Varchart, which is subject to a fee, in a graphic representation of the concatenation of all deadlines.
: : automatic (not graphical) The scheduling of the creation of part requirements is done automatically, without graphical display. No further licence is required.
: : manual The scheduling of the creation of part requirements does not take place at all, but must be called up by the user via the menu of the part requirement mask.
Direction If automatic scheduling is selected, the scheduling type can be selected here as "forward" or "backward" scheduling. Forward scheduling starts from the current date, whereas backward scheduling takes the delivery/provision date as its starting point, which, however, is automatically shifted into the future if start dates reach into the past. The chronological sequence within the date network is determined by the procurement times of the parts.
Processing
: Show processing phases If set, internal information is displayed in the status line during processing. This may reduce the speed slightly.
: Completely process the created part request If set, the production order is automatically created in the parts request and the work times are booked, the requirement requests are created and the warehouse reservations are made.
: Optimise attribute calculation -
: : Yes Control of the optimised attribute calculation.
Should be activated for complex parts lists if the process does not run otherwise.
Processing time may increase when activated.
: : No
: Setting automatic processing Setting for automatic setting of the commercial and technical release
: : Create required requirement request Automatic creation of requisitions for required disposable purchased parts.

Gozintograph:

In the parts master, various logistics indicators were assigned to the parts. During materials planning, the parts are then broken down according to the rules defined.

When production orders are cancelled, the parts are reported to the relevant work processes in accordance with their identification as production parts, purchased parts or externally produced parts. The production planning department receives the production parts for a cross-order summary. All purchase requisitions for purchased parts appear in the purchase folder and the stock lists report the demand for stock parts.

The individual types of disposition are divided here into

No disposition:

The parts available in the dissolution are not further planned and processed.

Material withdrawal:

The demand is covered by the stock quantity of the part.

order request:

The requirement is transferred into a requirement request.

Construction contract:

The parts are transferred to the work planning as a production order

You can then instruct the first production orders, requirement requests and warehouse reservations, which are created in the background by the system.

With 'Delete' you can withdraw your orders etc. and with 'Stragglers' it is possible to create further production orders and requirement requests.

The menu item 'Navigate' enables you to jump to the pre-created production order or to the requirement request. You can also return to the parts planning or view the use of the parts.

Release parts request:

Via the menu item 'Edit - Release part request' the corresponding instructions are finally forwarded to the following departments and the list 'Disposition levels' is deleted.
