Infor LN & Baan Tips & Tricks for OPERATIONS: Pegging Material Supply Lines for Operation and Product Subcontracting
For project pegged production orders, operations can be subcontracted. The material delivered to the subcontractor can be project pegged or anonymous. The subassemblies sent and retrieved are always project pegged. Costing breaks can be applied to direct the costs of the subcontracted operation to a specific project cost account. If (production material) costing breaks are used, a purchase order line's peg can differ from the peg on the material supply line.
For product subcontracting, the subcontracted purchase orders can include materials that inherit the project pegs or can include anonymous materials. The pegged materials are stored in inventory and are shipped to the subcontractor with project pegged orders.
In case of a project pegged order, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. For a specific purchase order line (detail) and material sequence, the material supply line's Order and Consumption quantities are distributed across the peg distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element, and/or project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the material supply line quantity by peg. The peg distribution cannot be manually created and must always be generated using the parent.
For operation subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the linked peg distributions are generated by Job Shop Control and can only be updated by Job Shop Control.
For product subcontracting, the purchase order line, the material supply line, and the peg distributions are generated by Procurement. A material supply line's peg distribution can be updated only from the parent, that is the purchase order line, the purchase order line peg distribution, or the material supply line. If a purchase order line's distribution line is changed, and no quantities are received or consumed yet, the pegged fields on the linked material supply lines are synchronized to the updated distribution line in the Purchase Order Material Supply Lines (tdpur4116m000) session. However, if a different quantity distribution is applicable, the quantities of the material supply lines' distribution lines are redetermined in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session.
