Maintain Interim Orders

Explanation

Use this activity to create a new interim order for a specified part. Interim orders are created when evaluating an interim demand head record. A new interim order is created each time a component is added to the top level interim order.

For outside work center operations, you can either select the Outside Operation Backflush type or the Outside Operation Supply type. If an outside operation item has not been entered for the outside operation, a message will appear. However, you have the option of creating a new outside operation item.

The interim order can also be used to create a DOP order. When this is done, the DOP gets its structure from the interim order.

Prerequisites

• IFS/Manufacturing Standards structures and routings should be defined for the part.
• If configured parts are to be used, IFS/Configuration Characteristics and IFS/Configuration Back Office must have been installed and associated configuration characteristics and back office configuration rules defined.
• An interim demand head must be created.

System Effects

An interim order is created manually and the information can be viewed, reviewed, and edited.

Procedure

To add a new component:

1. From Interim Order, query on the interim header for which you wish to add an interim order.
2. In the Component tab, click New.
3. In the Line Sequence field, enter the number for this component line.
4. Leave the Supply Interim Order No field blank; the system will generate a number.
5. In the Component Part field, enter the component part required for this interim order, or click List of Values and select one.
6. In the Qty Required field, enter the quantity of this component part required, if desired. If not entered, this value will be calculated based on the values you enter in the Qty Per Assembly, Component Scrap, and Scrap Factor fields.
7. In the Qty Per Assembly field, enter the quantity of the component part required to manufacture one part for this interim order. This will used if a DOP or short order is created from this interim order.
8. In the Date Required field, enter the date this component is required for this interim order. This date cannot exceed the due date of the order.
9. In the Component Scrap field, enter a fixed quantity (the setup cost of the material) of the component part that is scrapped each time. This value is used for cost calculation and in material requirement planning.
10. In the Scrap Factor field, enter the percentage of the component part that is scrapped per unit of the manufactured parent part. This value is used for cost calculation and in material requirement planning.
11. In the Operation No field, enter the number of the operation to link the material to the operation, if any.
12. In the Leadtime Offset field, enter the number of days before the shop order's finish date when the component part is required. A zero (0) indicates that the component is needed at the start of the shop order.
13. In the Drawing Position No field, enter the position number in the product structure diagram, if any.
14. In the Consumption Item field, select whether the part is Consumed or Not Consumed. 
15. In the Issue From Loc field, enter the shop inventory location from which the expense parts can be picked, if any.
16. In the Note Text field, enter related notes about this component, if any.
17. Click Save.

To add a new component work guideline:

1. In the Component Work Guide tab, press New.
2. In the Line Item No field, enter the number of the line item, or click List of Values and select one.
3. In the Guideline Sequence No field, enter the number for this work guideline for the component line number. This number will appear on manufacturing orders.
4. In the Guideline Type field, select either Instruction or Reference.
5. In the Guideline Desc field, enter a brief text description about this work guideline.
6. If you selected the Reference guideline type, enter the X, Y, and Z coordinates, and the reference quantity (quantity of component expected to be used at this reference point) for this work guideline.
7. In the Guideline Text field, enter the text of the work instruction.
8. Click Save .

To add a new manufacturing operation:

1. In the Operation tab, click New .
2. In the Operation No field, enter the number of the work operation.
3. In the Operation Description field, enter a description of the operation.
4. In the Work Center No field, click List of Values and select a work center or directly enter a name.
   Note: To define an outside work center, in the Work Center window, select the Outside work center as the work center code.
5. In the Run Time Code field, select a value from the dropdown list, either Hours/Unit, Units/Hour, or Hours.
6. In the Mach Setup Time field, enter the number of hours required to set up the machine for this operation, if desired. If not entered, the field defaults to 0.
7. In the Setup Labor Class field enter a labor class or select from list of values. The value in this is required if the labor setup time is greater than 0.
8. In the Labor Class field, enter a labor class or select from List of Values. The value in this field is required if the labor run factor is greater than 0.
9. In the Labor Setup Time field, enter the number of hours required for labor setup for the operation. If not entered, the field defaults to zero (0). If you enter a value greater than 0, you must also enter values for Setup Labor Class and Setup Crew Size.
10. In the Labor Run Factor field, enter the labor run factor for the operation.
11. In the Crew Size field, enter the number of people in the labor crew to run this operation. This value is required if the labor run factor is greater than 0.
12. In the Parallel Operation field, click the dropdown list and select either Parallel or Not parallel.
13. Select the Milestone Operation check box. This check box indicates that, the operation must be reported prior to the succeeding operations and that automatically reporting is not allowed.
14. If specifying overlap, enter the required value in the Overlap field and select the applicable unit in the Overlap Unit field.
15. Select the Setup Inside Overlap check box if you want the setup time to be included in the overlap.
    Note: The meaning of operation overlap is how early a succeeding operation is allowed to start in relation to its latest scheduled preceding operation start time. (For more details refer to Operation Overlap about description).
16. In the Efficiency Factor field, change the percentage ratio between the theoretical maximum throughput for the work center and the historical average, if desired. The default is 100.
17. In the Machine No field, enter the number of the machine used in the standard operation.
18. In the Alternate Work Center field, enter the name of the alternate work center, or click List of Values and select one.
19. In the Outside Op Item field, enter the name of the part as received from the outside operation. This field is only used if the operation is performed at an outside work center.
20. In the Move Time and Queue Time fields, change the times, if desired. The default is 0.
21. In the Source field, add notes about the operation, if desired.
22. Click Save.
