Infor LX & BPCS Manufacturing Tip of the Week: Backward Scheduling

George Moroses 0 28648 Article rating: 5.0

Operations are automatically backward scheduled at shop order release time. The backward scheduling algorithm starts with the shop order due date and schedules each operation based upon the standard move and queue times in the routings and the number of days the job is expected to run at standard. The system calculates and stores the operation scheduled start date. The dates may be modified by the shop order maintenance program. The number of days that a job is expected to run an operation is dependent upon the available capacity for that work center and the total hours scheduled for that operation.

The backward scheduling algorithm also considers...

BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Getting the Most Out of the Shop Order Inquiry Program – Part 3

Understanding: The quantities required, finished and remaining at the operation and in total for the Shop Order

The shop order may require 1,000 pieces but only 950 are reported as finished in total for the shop order. The quantity required is what is planned on the SO and it may be a higher number than what is finished, factoring in that there can be scrap. If a 1,000 pieces are required to be produced, and there is always is scrap of 10 pieces, then plan for scheduling a quantity of 1,010.

The quantity finished for the end item is what is reported in the inventory application with a production order receipt transaction. At the operation level, if the quantity is reported at the operation, there will be a value in the PCS Complete field on the operation detail screen showing the pieces completed through that operation.

If you want to get a handle on the difference between the required quantity and the finished quantity, you may want to look into reporting quantities at the operation level as well as examining how scrap is controlled and reported.

Tips: LN | Baan

Use this session to to define which fields must be audited, and when they must be audited.

Note: 

  • It is not required to define the fields that must be audited. Only if not all fields in a table must be audited, you must specify the fields that must be audited. You can only specify fields for a table for which you selected Specified in the Field Selection field of the Audit Tables by Profile (ttaud3120m000) session. If you selected All in that field, all fields in the table are audited, and no fields can be specified.

  • For a detailed explanation of the relation between audit type and field specification, refer to the section How to determine the net result of the audit configuration in the Audit Configuration Management topic.

  • The audit functionality uses the positive approach, which means that you can only specify which tables and fields must be audited, but not which tables and fields must not be audited. Therefore, through the appropriate menu, commands are available to load all (key) fields. You can then delete the fields you do not require.
