How it works – overview

ItemPlanning – Production order multi-select is the powerful tool to see the shortage situation on more planned, firm planned or released production orders.

The inquiry can be limited to a set of production orders by filtering the order list screen.

All shortages are time-phased according to the production order component/raw material lines required dates (remaining quantity to be issued)

All component lines with same component number are accumulated quantity wise before any shortage calculations are made. Component requirement can be dissolved pressing a function button – Show orders.

The solution is used by production planners to get the fast production order shortage overview:

At first you filter your inquiry:

Item. No. I-TECH-16 as an example shown

*Please note that each order-line in the Overview has a field (Component Shortage) which indicates, whether there is one or more components used on this production line that will be short within the expected date of usage. If you want to see only production order lines with potential shortages, you can do so by selecting the menu function “Show only shortage”.

To run the shortage analysis you now click the Component analysis button:

The analysis screen is now presented:

On this screen you will see your filtering
You can choose only to see components short (Show only negative stock)
You can choose to omit planning sheet quantities
You can choose to omit scheduled purchase and/or production receipts
You can choose to create orders directly for the short components.

*If you want to see which orders are included in the calculations on a single component line, you can do so from the Line menu item, Show Orders
