Assembly Over-completions and Over-returns

You can over-complete and over-return from and to jobs or repetitive schedules without routings without changing the job or schedule quantities. You can over-complete and over-return from and to jobs or repetitive schedules with routings only if you increase the job or schedule quantities.

Assembly Over-completions

Discrete Jobs

You can complete a quantity of assemblies greater than the job quantity if the assembly does not have a routing. This feature is useful if your production process yields a few more assemblies than planned.

If your job has a routing, you must first increase the job quantity by the amount you want to over-complete and move these assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation sequence to the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence. You now have sufficient quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence to complete from the job without actually over-completing.

Repetitive Schedules

You can over-complete the quantity of assemblies scheduled on a line. Completions are allocated across schedules on a first in-first out basis until only one schedule remains with a status of Complete.

At that point, you can complete quantity of assemblies greater than the total quantity of this schedule if you do not have a routing. For example, if your production process yields a few more assemblies than you planned, you can complete the extra assemblies using the Completion Transactions window.

If you have a routing and you want to over-complete this schedule, you must first increase the total quantity on the schedule by either increasing the total quantity, increasing the daily rate, or increasing the process days. Then you must move these additional assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation sequence to the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence. You now have sufficient quantity in the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence to complete from the schedule without actually over-completing.

Assembly Over-returns

Discrete Jobs

You can return more assemblies than you completed to a non-standard job without a routing. You can also over-return assemblies to jobs without routings without changing job quantities. You can over-return to jobs with routings only if you increase job quantities.

Repetitive Schedules

You can also over-return assemblies to repetitive schedules without routings without changing schedule quantities. You can over-return to schedules with routings only if you increase schedule quantities.
