4.1 Generating Production Numbers

This section provides an overview of production number generation and discusses how to generate production numbers.

4.1.1 Understanding Production Number Generation

Use the Production Number Master program (P34401) to generate production numbers for use with production controlled items.You can create, edit, copy, and delete production numbers.

The Company, Production Number Type, Item Number, and Date Created fields are mandatory for production number generation. A production number can only be associated with a valid production controlled item.

You select a value from user-defined code (UDC) 34/PT for the Production Number Status field. The system does not perform a validation when you change the production number status from Active to Inactive. The system does not create new sales orders with inactive production numbers. Also, material requirements planning (MRP) does not consider orders associated with inactive production numbers.

When entering dates for production numbers, the date in the Date Created field must be prior to the date in the Date Closed field. Past dates are accepted in both the Date Created and Date Closed fields.


Note:

When a production number expires based on the date in the Date Closed field, the status of the production number remains Active. However, you cannot create new sales orders using the expired production number.

Enter a value in the Year field; valid values are 1901 through 2040. If you enter a 2-digit year, the system converts it to 4 digits based on the default value of the CenturyCutOffYear (DCYR) data item.

You use the default value of the CenturyCutOffYear (DCYR) data item to control the century. The default value of 40 for data item DCYR in the Data Dictionary encompasses all years through 2040.


Note:

If the default value of data item DCYR is changed, then the same default value change is applied to data item CenturyChangeYear (CENTCHG). Review both values before and after making any changes to validate that these two data items have the same default value.

The value in the Month field can either be blank or in the range of numbers from 01 to 12. You do not use a UDC table to enter values such as JAN, FEB, and MAR.


Note:

The asterisk (*) is not allowed in production numbers. The system accepts all other characters for use in production numbers.

When you click the Generate Prod No button or select the Generate Prod No option from the Form menu, the system generates the production number based on the structure definition for the production number type. The generated production number is 30 characters in length, populates the Production Number field, and is editable. The generated production number also includes an appended 10-character production number short at the end.

During production number generation, the system retrieves the value for the Production Number Short (PNS) from the N004 column of the Next Numbers - Automatic table (F0002) for system code 34.

If branch/plant is defined as a segment in the production number, then the system uses the branch/plant specified in the Production Number Master program in production number generation. If month and year are defined as segments in the production number, the system uses the value from the Date Created field in the Production Number Master program. (Release 9.1 Update)

The system concatenates the actual values for a production number based on the structure definition and then truncates the production number to 20 characters, excluding the production number short. The system displays a message to inform the user of the truncation.

The system issues warnings and highlights segments for which segment values for a particular production number have blank values. If you do not enter values for the blank segments, the system generates a production number with blank segment values and appends the production number short.

For example, the production number structure definition is year, category code 2, and customer. Category code 2 is undefined, and you defined the separator value as /. The system generates the production number as 2011//4242/6029, where 6029 is the production number short from next numbers.

You can modify a production number structure and a production number itself upon creation, but you cannot change the keys of the production number. The primary keys are Company and Production Number Type.

You may edit a production number only when no orders are associated with the production number. If any order is associated with a production number, then the system disables the Production Number field, Generate Prod No button, and Generate Prod No option on the Form menu.

If you change some segment values and regenerate the production number, the system generates the production number based on the new segment values and populates the Production Number field, but the Production Number Short remains the same. If you change the production number type and regenerate the production number, the system creates a new production number but the production number short remains the same.

You can delete a production number if the production number has no sales orders, forecasts, work orders, purchase orders, or inventory (in the F41021T table) associated with it. If the selected production number has sales orders, forecasts, work orders, purchase orders, or inventory (in the F41021T table) associated with it, then the system issues an error and does not delete the record.

The system stores production numbers in the Production Number Master File (F34401) and Production Number Master Tag File (F34401T) (Release 9.1 Update) tables. Company and Production Number Short are the primary keys to the F34401 table. The order number (DOCO) field is for future use so the field value is set to 0 (zero) for records in the F34401T table (Release 9.1 Update).


Note:

A production number cannot have a duplicate in the F34401 table even if the production number short has different values. Each production number must be unique.

4.2 Managing Production Numbers

This section provides an overview of production number management, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Production Number Workbench (P34403).

  • Manage production numbers.

4.2.1 Understanding Production Number Management

You use the Production Number Workbench program (P34403) to work with supply and demand for production numbers that are available in the Production Number Master File table (F34401).

You can associate a production number with only one end item, which must be set up as a production controlled item in the Item Master (P4101) and Item Branch (P41026) programs.

The Production Number Workbench form (W34403A) contains the Production Number Master grid and the following subforms:

  • Related Sales Orders (S34403A)

  • Related Forecasts (S34403B)

  • Related Work Orders (S34403C)

  • Related Purchase Orders (S34403D)

  • Related Inventory (S34403E)

Using the Production Number Workbench form, you can search for production numbers in the Production Number Master File table (F34401), review related orders and inventory, edit existing orders, and create new orders.

Query by example (QBE) is enabled in all grids.

You can search by Production Number, Item Number, or both in the header of the Production Number Workbench form. The default value in each field is an asterisk (*) for a complete search of the Production Number Master File table. You can also use the QBEs in the Production Number Master grid. When you click Find, the system populates the Production Number Master grid with values for the selected search criteria.

When you select a record in the Production Number Master grid, the system populates the relevant subforms with corresponding orders. If the table contains no matching records, then all grids are empty.

From the Production Number Master grid on the Production Number Workbench form you can create work orders, create purchase orders, access the Production Number Reassignment program (P344104), and access the Supply and Demand Inquiry program (P4021).

You select the appropriate option on the Row menu. The system displays the corresponding form based on the program version specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program.

When you select the Create WO (create work order) option, the system displays the Work Order Details form based on the version of the Work Order Entry program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. The production number selected in the Production Number Master grid becomes the default production number on the Work Order Details form. When you click OK to create the work order, the system saves the order to the Work Order Master File table (F4801) and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

When you select the Create PO (create purchase order) option, the system displays the Order Detail form based on the version of the Purchase Orders program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. The production number selected in the Production Number Master grid becomes the default production number on the Order Detail form. When you click OK to create the purchase order, the system saves the order to the Purchase Order Detail File table (F4311) and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

You create work orders and purchase orders to generate supply for the production controlled items.

When you select the Prod No. Reassignm (production number reassignment) option, the system displays the Production Number Reassignment form based on the version of the Production Number Reassignment program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You can search for production controlled items that do not have associated demand and reassign production numbers.

When you select the Supply/Demand option, the system displays the Work With Supply and Demand form based on the version of the Supply and Demand Inquiry program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You can review supply and demand for specific items.

You use the Related Sales Orders subform to review all sales orders, including canceled orders, associated with a production number. A sales order for a production controlled item is considered as demand. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system allows only one type of top-level demand for production controlled items with an associated production number at any instant in time, either a forecast or a sales order. If a production controlled item has a sales order, then the item with the same production number cannot have a forecast.


Note:

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system does not support forecast consumption for production controlled items.

When you select a link in the Order Number column in the Related Sales Orders subform, the system calls the version of the Sales Order Entry program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You use the Sales Order Detail Revisions form to review or update the sales order. When you click OK, the system saves the changes to the Sales Order Detail table (F4211) and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

You use the Related Forecasts subform to review forecasts associated with a production number. When you select a link in the 2nd Item Number column in the Related Forecasts subform, the system calls the version of the Forecast Revisions program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You use the Detail Forecast Revisions form to review or update the forecast. When you click OK, the system saves the changes to the Forecast File table (F3460) and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

You use the Related Work Orders subform to review all work orders, including completed orders, associated with a production number. When you select a link in the Order Number column in the Related Work Orders subform, the system calls the version of the Work Order Entry program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You use the Work Order Details form to review or update the work order. When you click OK, the system saves the changes to the F4801 table and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

You use the Related Purchase Orders subform to review all purchase orders, including canceled and received orders, associated with a production number. When you select a link in the Order Number column in the Related Purchase Orders subform, the system calls the version of the Purchase Orders program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You use the Order Detail form to review or update the purchase order. When you click OK, the system saves the changes to the F4311 table and returns to the Production Number Workbench form.

You use the Related Inventory subform to review all inventory, including zero quantities, associated with a production number. The Related Inventory subform shows on-hand inventory, not item availability, for production controlled items. You can also review information related to the lot status and memo lot 1 for the inventory item (Release 9.1 Update).

When you select a link in the 2nd Item Number column in the Related Inventory subform, the system calls the version of the Item Availability program specified on the Versions tab of the Production Number Workbench program. You use the Work With Item Availability form to review item availability.

4.3 Reassigning Production Numbers

This section provides an overview of production number reassignment and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for Production Number Reassignment (P34404).

  • Reassign production numbers.

4.3.1 Understanding Production Number Reassignment

You use the Production Number Reassignment program (P34404) to reassign work orders, purchase orders, and inventory for production controlled items that do not have associated demand.

The Production Number Reassignment form contains the Production Numbers Without Demand grid and the following subforms:

  • Available Work Orders (S34404B)

  • Available Purchase Orders (S34404C)

  • Available Inventory (S34404D)

Using the Production Number Reassignment form, you can search for production controlled items that do not have associated demand. You review the related work orders, purchase orders, and inventory that are orphaned.


Note:

You can reassign only orphaned production numbers. You cannot reassign production numbers associated with demand. You also cannot assign a production number to generic inventory.

QBE is enabled for all grids.

You search by production controlled item using the Item Number field in the header of the Production Number Reassignment form. You can also use the QBE lines in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid. When you click Find, the system populates the Production Numbers Without Demand grid with all production numbers that do not have any associated demand.

The system determines demand by providing Set Selection on alias DMDFLG (demand flag) not equal to S (sales) and F (forecast) in the F34401 table.

When you select a record in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid, the system populates the relevant subforms with corresponding orders and inventory. If the table contains no matching records, then all grids are empty.

The Reassign To Production Number field is a required but editable field if the Reassign To Generic option is not selected (Release 9.1 Update). The system passes the original production number selected in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid and the new production number entered in the Reassign To Production Number field to all subforms when you select a grid row or change the production number in the Reassign To Production Number field (Release 9.1 Update).

The Reassign To Generic option enables you to reassign the supply orders and inventory associated with a production number to generic orders and inventory. By reassigning to generic, the system removes the production number from the supply orders and inventory. The orders and inventory become non-production controlled. (Release 9.1 Update)

The system enables you to reassign all orders and inventory or to reassign selected orders and inventory. To reassign all orders and inventory, you enter a production number in the Reassign To Production Number field or select the Reassign To Generic option and then click the Reassign All button or select Reassign All from the Row menu. The system reassigns all orders and inventory to the specified production number or to generic. (Release 9.1 Update)

To reassign selected orders and inventory, you enter a production number in the Reassign To Production Number field or select the Reassign To Generic option, select specific orders and inventory in the subforms, and then click the Reassign Selected button or select Reassign Selected from the Row menu. The system reassigns the selected orders and inventory to the specified production number or to generic. (Release 9.1 Update)

You use the Available Work Orders subform to review only incomplete work orders associated with an original production number. The system suppresses completed work orders from appearing because completed items are in inventory and they appear in the Available Inventory subform. The system uses the condition of Qty Shipped (SOQS) less than Qty Ordered (UORG) in the F4801 table. The system retrieves the original production number selected in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid and new production numbers entered in the Reassign To Production Number field (Release 9.1 Update).

When you click the Reassign Work Orders button on the Available Work Orders subform, the Reassign Confirmation form appears. The system reassigns the selected records with the new production number and production number short in the F4801T table when you click Yes on the Reassign Confirmation form.

You can change the production number on a work order until parts list attachment and commitments. To change the production number, decommit the parts list, change the production number using the Production Number Reassignment program, reattach the parts list, and commit inventory.

You use the Available Purchase Orders subform to review only purchase orders associated with the original production number that have not been received. The system suppresses received orders from appearing because received items are in inventory and they appear in the Available Inventory subform. The system uses the condition of Qty Open (UOPN) greater than zero in the F4311 table. The system retrieves the original production number selected in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid and new production numbers entered in the Reassign To Production Number field (Release 9.1 Update).

When you click the Reassign Purchase Orders button on the Available Purchase Orders subform, the Reassign Confirmation form appears. The system reassigns the selected records with the new production number and production number short in the F4311 table when you click Yes on the Reassign Confirmation form.

You use the Available Inventory subform to review all inventory records available in the F41021T table that are associated with the original production number. The system displays only the records whose quantities are not zero. The system uses the condition of Primary Qty On Hand (PQOH) and Secondary Qty On Hand (SQOH) greater than zero in the F41021T table. The system retrieves the original production number selected in the Production Numbers Without Demand grid and new production numbers entered in the Reassign To Production Number field (Release 9.1 Update).

When you click the Reassign Inventory button on the Available Inventory subform, the Reassign Confirmation form appears. The system reassigns the selected records with the new production number and production number short in the F41021T table when you click Yes on the Reassign Confirmation form.

When you reassign orphaned orders and inventory, the system removes the orders and inventory from the grid when an active production number is assigned.

When performing production number reassignment, you can update multiple records within a subform at the same time.


Note:

Partial quantity reassignment is not supported. You must reassign the entire quantity for a work order, purchase order, or on-hand inventory.

You can access the Production Number Reassignment program from the Production Number Workbench program while working with supply and demand for production controlled items. The system populates the item number and production number from the record selected in the Production Number Master grid on the Production Number Workbench form.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Production Number Reassignment program. The system activates record reservation by work order and purchase order number so that only the Production Number Reassignment program can access the records when updating production numbers. (Release 9.1 Update)

If a work order or purchase order associated with a production number is reserved by any of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base applications, the Production Number Reassignment program issues a record reservation error message when another user attempts to reassign the orders. (Release 9.1 Update)

Record reservation helps to ensure the integrity of the data and prevent data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other program. Thus, the system does not allow you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application. (Release 9.1 Update)

When a program that uses record reservation is interrupted, orphaned reservation records might remain in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). This can occur, for example, when technicians are working with a server, or when a workstation shuts down without warning. If an interruption stops one of the programs in the Production Number Reassignment program before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed. (Release 9.1 Update)

You can use the Remove Business Object Reservation program (P00095) to release unwanted record reservations. This program stores reservation information in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). (Release 9.1 Update)
