Understanding Releasing Production and Changing
Production Statuses
Releasing production to the shop floor is the first step in the production process. You can release production for production IDs when maintaining production, or you can release production independently of the maintenance process. You can also release production when you record an operation or end item completion. Following the production release process, you can also generate production documents for production IDs and dispatch lists for production IDs and production schedules.
When you change the production status to Released, production is sent to the shop floor and is available to start manufacturing the item. When you change an order's status, there may be significant consequences.
If you change the status to Released and you integrate with a third-party manufacturing execution system (MES), PeopleSoft Manufacturing uses the Production Order Update enterprise integration point (EIP) to publish a message to the MES with the transaction information. The MES then subscribes to that message and updates the MES information.

Review of the Material Readiness Report
Before releasing production IDs and production schedules to the shop floor, it is recommended that you run the Material Readiness report to determine which production orders have all of the material available and which production orders have material shortages.

Running the Material Readiness Report
Release of ProductionBefore you can generate a picking plan and begin production, you must first release production for any production IDs or production schedules in the Entered or Firmed status. To accomplish this, you need to change the status for production IDs or production schedules from Entered or Firmed to Released.
Note. You must create rework or teardown production IDs with a status of Released unless the production is scheduled for the future. In that case, you can create Firmed rework or teardown production IDs. PeopleSoft Manufacturing doesn't support rework or teardown production schedules.
You have several options when releasing production to the shop floor:
Releasing a production ID during production ID maintenance.
When manually adding a production ID, you have the option of setting the status to Released. You can also change the status of an existing production ID from Entered or Firmed to Released.
Releasing individual production IDs independently of the production ID maintenance process.
Use this method when you want to separate the release function from the maintenance function. Using this method gives control to the individuals who determine when production should be released. If you intend to create picking plans and kit, pick, or pull components to the shop floor, you must release production before generating pick plans.
To release production IDs independently of the production ID maintenance process, use the Production ID Status Change page.
Releasing individual production schedules before the start of production.
Use this method when you want to release production schedules. If you intend to create picking plans and pick or pull components to the shop floor, you must release production before generating pick plans.
To release production schedules, use the Production Schedule Status Change page.
Releasing multiple production IDs or production schedules as a batch.
Use this method when you want to release multiple IDs or production schedules simultaneously. You can release a range of production IDs or production schedules, or you can release a range of items or production areas.
To release multiple production IDs or production schedules, use the Production Status Change Process page.
Releasing production by recording an operation or an end item completion.
Use this method when you're utilizing a streamlined production operation. If you are using production IDs, you can record completions at an operation or at end item completion. If you are using production schedules, you can backflush only at end item completion. When you perform a completion or backflush, the production ID or production schedule is automatically released. This method assumes that you are automatically replenishing components in the work-in-progress (WIP) locations and are not generating pick reports.
To release production while recording an operation or an end item completion, use the Record Completions and Scrap page. The ability to release production when recording completions or scrap is dependent on how you've configured the environment when setting up the PeopleSoft Manufacturing business unit options.

Reversal of Production Statuses
Besides releasing production, you can also use the Production ID Status Change page and the Production Schedule Status Change page to change an order's status from Entered, Firmed, Released, or In Process to a prior status. This applies to production, rework, and teardown orders.
To change an order from In Process to a prior status, you need to reverse all end item completions and scrap, return components to stock, and reverse all actual hour recordings. These include:
Component issues
Component yield loss
Pending issues
Pending loss quantities
Operation completions
Co-product and by-product completions
End item completions
End item scrap
Outstanding bar code transactions
Earned costs
Scrap costs
Actual hours

Running the Material Readiness Report
Before releasing production IDs and production schedules to the shop floor, you will want to determine which production orders have all of the material available and which production orders have material shortages. Production orders with all material available can be released to the shop floor. Production orders with shortages need to be investigated to determine when production can be released to the shop floor. Run the Material Readiness report to determine if the production ID or production schedule is ready to release and to view the quantities and readiness status of the components.
The Material Readiness report includes two to three sections:
Report Criteria section: This section details the options you have selected on the run control pages for the Material Readiness report.
Production Detail section: This section displays production readiness by production ID or production schedule. You produce this section by selecting the Production Report check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page.
Component Summary section: This section displays time-phased demand and supply quantities by component item ID and determines if there is enough available quantity to meet the demand. You produce this section by selecting the Summarized Component Report check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page.
The report criteria section displays your selection criteria entered on the run control for the Material Readiness Report (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Material Readiness Report).
The production detail section of the Material Readiness report displays production readiness by production ID or production schedule. The quantities displayed on this report are calculated based on your selection criteria on the run control for the Material Readiness Report (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Material Readiness Report).
For each component in the production order, the following fields are displayed:
|
Ready |
Displays No when there is not enough quantity of a component to complete this production order on the date and time needed. For example, in the previous page shot, the item ID BR4400 in production ID PRD00233 is not ready because there is not enough supply on the date that the production ID needs the quantity. |
|
Component ID / Description / Configuration |
Displays the item ID and description of the component used in this production order. For configured items, the configuration code is displayed. |
|
Source Code/UOM |
Displays the source code of the component (such as Make or Buy) and the standard unit of measure of the component. All of the component's quantity fields on this report are expressed in this unit of measure. |
|
Op/QTY Code |
The Op Code field displays the operation sequence where this component is consumed within the production order. The QTY Code field displays the component requirements in amounts per Asy (assembly) or per Ord (order). |
|
Date/Time |
Displays the date and time that this component is needed for production based on the start date of the operation sequence using the component. |
|
Short QTY |
Displays the shortage of the component that is not available for this production order on the date and time needed. The shortage quantity is calculated using the following columns in the same row: Open Demand QTY field less Available Supply QTY field. If the Available Supply QTY field is greater than the Open Demand QTY field then enough stock is available and the Short QTY field is blank or zero. |
|
Open Demand QTY |
Displays the quantity of this component needed for this operation sequence of this production order. The open demand quantity is calculated as follows: (current scheduled quantity) less (the quantity already issued). The (current scheduled quantity) is the number of components required for the operation sequence or batch production and includes the yield percentage. |
|
Available Supply QTY |
Displays the component quantity that this report estimates will be available in this business unit on the date and time of this row. This available supply quantity is calculated as follows:
The Available Supply QTY field does not include pegged supply or pegged demand. A pegged quantity is not considered available quantity because it is already committed to a specific demand or supply. |
|
Total Available/Reserved QTY |
The Total Available QTY field displays the total available quantity that is currently in this business unit. This field includes:
The Reserved Qty field displays the component quantity that is soft-reserved within this business unit. |
|
Total Demand/Incoming Supply QTY |
The Total Demand QTY field displays the sum of all open demand for this component in the date range specified. This field includes pegged quantities. Based on your selection criteria on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page, demand can include production orders (ready, unready, or both), sales orders, work orders, material stock requests, interunit transfers, planned transfers, and planned production. The date range is specified in the Past Due Demand Days and Future Demand Days fields. The current production order is included in this total. The Incoming Supply QTY field includes stock of this component that is going to be delivered to this business unit in the date range specified. The component's available quantity within a business unit will be increased when incoming supply is received into the business unit. This field includes pegged quantities. Based on your selection criteria on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page, the incoming supply can include stock from requisitions, purchase orders (order quantity less the quantity that has already been received), interunit transfers coming into the business unit, received quantities that are in the Putaway Staging tables, production orders (scheduled quantity less the already completed quantity), planned purchase orders, planned transfers, and planned production orders. The date range is specified in the Past Due Supply Days and Future Supply Days fields. |
The component summary section of the Material Readiness report displays demand and supply by component item ID and determines if there is enough available quantity to meet the demand. The quantities displayed on this report are calculated based on your selection criteria on the run control for the Material Readiness Report (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Material Readiness Report).
For each component the following fields are displayed:
|
Unit of Measure (in component heading) |
Displays the standard unit of measure used for this component in all quantity fields. |
|
Open Demand Quantity (in component heading) |
Displays the sum of all open demand for this component in the date range specified. This field includes pegged quantities. Based on your selection criteria on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page, demand can include production orders (ready, unready, or both), sales orders, work orders, material stock requests, interunit transfers, planned transfers, and planned production. The date range is specified in the Past Due Demand Days and Future Demand Days fields. The details for the open demand quantity are displayed in the rows under the component heading. For example, in the page shot above the open demand quantity of 75 EA for item ID BR4400 is a total of the negative quantities in the Order/Adjust QTY column, including the stock requests and production IDs (20 + 10 + 15 + 10 + 20). |
|
Available Qty (in component heading) |
Displays the total component quantity that is currently available in this business unit. This field includes the BU Available Qty field (in the component heading of this page), plus the quantity in the WIP locations of this business unit if you have selected the Incl WIP in Starting Qty check box on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page. |
|
Shortage (in component heading) |
Displays Yes when there is not enough supply to meet the demands for this component. |
|
Peg Qty (in component heading) |
Displays the amount of incoming supply that is pegged to a demand. This field displays zero if you have not selected the Report Peg Information check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page. Due to the additional amount of data, selecting the Report Peg Information check box may slow the performance of this report. |
|
Incoming Supply (in component heading) |
Displays the quantity of component stock that is going to be delivered to this business unit in the date range specified. The component's available quantity within a business unit will be increased when incoming supply is received into the business unit. This field includes pegged quantities. Based on your selection criteria on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page, the incoming supply can include stock from requisitions, purchase orders (order quantity less the quantity that has already been received), interunit transfers coming into the business unit, received quantities that are in the Putaway Staging tables, production orders (scheduled quantity less the already completed quantity), planned purchase orders, planned transfers, and planned production orders. The date range is specified in the Past Due Supply Days and Future Supply Days fields. The details for the incoming supply quantity are displayed in the rows under the component heading. For example, in the page shot above the incoming supply quantity of 75 EA for item ID BR4400 is a total of the positive quantities in the Order/Adjust QTY column. In this example, incoming supply consists of three purchase orders (5 + 10 + 60). |
|
BU Available Qty (in component heading) |
Displays the total component quantity that is currently available in this business unit. Available quantity is calculated as follows:
The quantities in WIP locations are reserved; therefore, not included in this quantity. |
|
WIP Qty (in component heading) |
Displays the component quantity within the WIP locations of this business unit. |
|
Time-Phased Demand and Supply (group box) |
Provides the details to the Open Demand Qty field and the Incoming Supply field in the component header and highlights any time period where a shortage will occur. This grid displays the changes to the available quantity of the component within the date range specified on the Material Readiness Report-Supply/Demand page. Rows display an increase in available quantity due to incoming supply and a decrease due to demand. |
|
Short |
Displays Yes on the date/time row where a shortage of component quantity will occur. |
|
Order Type |
Displays the type of demand or supply on the current row. The types of demand can include production orders, sales orders, work orders, material stock requests, interunit transfers, planned transfers, and planned production. The types of incoming supply can include requisitions, purchase orders, interunit transfers coming into the business unit, received quantities that are in the Putaway Staging tables, production orders, planned purchase orders, planned transfers, and planned production orders. |
|
Order No |
Displays the source or destination business unit, order number, and line number of the demand or supply. For demand-type production IDs, the business unit, production ID, and operation sequence are displayed. For demand-type production schedules, the business unit, production area, and operation sequence are displayed. |
|
Date |
Displays the date and time when the component quantity is needed for this demand or when the incoming supply is scheduled to be received in the business unit. The word Staged is displayed if the incoming supply is currently in the Putaway Staging tables. For example, in the previous page shot, row 1 shows a purchase order that has been received but not yet putaway. In addition, rows 2 and 3 show past due supply and demand because the report date is 7/6, the purchase order was due 7/3, and the stock request was due to ship on 7/3. Also, notice that rows 5 and 6 both show demand that is needed on 7/15 but based on priorities, the stock request gets the quantity before the production ID even though the production ID has an earlier date/time. |
|
Order/Adjust QTY |
The Order QTY field displays the open quantity on the order. Incoming supply is shown as a positive quantity and demand is shown as a negative quantity. The Adjust QTY field displays the reserved quantity and the amount of the open quantity that is pegged for this demand or supply row. For supply transactions, the Adjust Qty field is only peg quantity, but for demand transactions, the Adjust QTY field is the sum of pegged quantity and reserved quantity. This field is populated if you have selected the Report Peg Information check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page. Due to the additional amount of data, selecting the Report Peg Information check box may slow the performance of this report. |
|
Available QTY (in the Time-Phased Demand and Supply group box) |
Displays the estimated available quantity for this date/time row. The first row is calculated by starting with the Available Qty field in the component heading and then adding or subtracting the Order QTY field in the current row. Incoming supply increases the available quantity while demand decreases the available quantity. Following rows are calculated by taking the amount in the Available QTY field of the previous row, then adding or subtracting the Order QTY field in the current row. For example, in the previous page shot, row 7 displays a purchase order that is pegged to a stock request. The purchase order quantity is for 60 each; 20 of that 60 is pegged to a stock request. The Adjust Qty field represents the 20 that is pegged. The impact to available quantity is a positive 40 (that is, 60 less 20). The Peg Order/Customer column displays the stock request that is pegged to the purchase order. Also, the purchase order quantity does not change the Available QTY field because its pegged. In addition, in the previous page shot, row 8 displays a stock request that is pegged to a purchase order. The Adjust Qty represents the pegged quantity. Again, the stock request quantity does not change the Available QTY field because its pegged. |
|
Ship Customer/Vendor Name |
The customer name is displayed for sales orders, material stock requests, and demand-side production IDs with a configured item or pegged quantity. The vendor name is displayed for requisitions or purchase orders. For interunit stock requests, the source or destination business unit is displayed. |
|
Peg Type |
Displays the type of demand or supply that this row is linked to in a peg chain. For example, if the current row is a purchase order (supply-side), then it can be linked to a material stock request (demand-side). This column is populated if you have selected the Report Peg Information check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page. Due to the additional amount of data, selecting the Report Peg Information check box may slow the performance of this report. |
|
Peg Order/Customer |
Displays the business unit, order number, line number, and customer name of the order that this row is linked to in a peg chain. For example, if the current row is a purchase order (supply-side), and it is linked to a material stock request (demand-side); then this row displays the information about the material stock request. The word Multiple is displayed if the current row is pegged to more than one transaction. This column is populated if you have selected the Report Peg Information check box on the Material Readiness Report run control page. Due to the additional amount of data, selecting the Report Peg Information check box may slow the performance of this report. |

|
Past Due Demand Days |
Use this field to help determine the time range to collect unfulfilled demand. Enter the number of days before today's date to include past due demand. For example, if you enter 5 days and today is June 5th, then the readiness calculation includes any unfulfilled demand that was needed on June 1st through today. |
|
Future Demand Days |
Use this field to help determine the time range to collect unfulfilled demand. Enter the number of days into the future to include future demand. For example, if you enter 10 days and today is June 5th, then the readiness calculation includes any unfulfilled demand that will be needed from today through June 15th. |
|
Priority Fields |
Use the priority fields to determine the relative priority for various types of demand. If two or more transactions have the same due date, then the entries here determine how the current component stock quantity is distributed. Use the following fields to prioritize demand types:
For example, if you enter 1 in the Sales Order Priority field, 2 in the Stock Request Priority field, 3 in the Production Priority field, and 4 in the Interunit Priority field, then the material readiness report distributes available quantity needed on the same date/time to a sales order first, a material stock requests second, a production order third, and a interunit transfer fourth. These priority settings only impact the material readiness report. |
|
Plan Transfer Demand |
If PeopleSoft Supply Planning is installed, select this check box to include planned transfers in the demand side of the material readiness calculation. Define which planned transfers should be included based on the Approval, Status (planned, firm planned, or both), and Frozen fields in this row.

|
Include Supply |
Select this check box to include other sources of supply for the component quantity in the material readiness calculation, such as purchase orders, incoming interunit transfers, or other production. When this check box is not selected (default), the material readiness calculation uses the current quantity available in the business unit as the source of supply. |
|
Past Due Supply Days |
Use this field to help determine the time range to collect incoming supply. Enter the number of days before today's date to include past due supply from incoming supply sources, such as; purchase orders, incoming interunit transfers, or other production. For example, if you enter 5 days and today is June 5th, then the readiness calculation includes any incoming supply that was due on June 1st through today. |
|
Future Supply Days |
Use this field to help determine the time range to collect incoming supply. Enter the number of days into the future to include future supply from incoming supply sources, such as; purchase orders, incoming interunit transfers, or other production. For example, if you enter 10 days and today is June 5th, then the readiness calculation includes any incoming supply that will be received from today through June 15th. |
|

Changing Production ID Statuses
Access the Production ID Status Change page (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Change Production ID Status).
Production ID Details
When no revision is specified, the system uses either the start or due date (based on the BOM explosion date option in the Manufacturing definition page) of the production for determining the bill of material used for producing the item.
To release production, change the Production Status from Entered or Firmed to Released.
Click the Save button to run the release process.
Note. You cannot change rework or teardown production IDs back to the Entered status.
Click the Save button to run the production status change process.
If you have reversed all transactions for an In Process production ID, you can change it to a prior status such as Entered, Firmed, or Released. If you change the status back to Firmed or Released, no changes to the operation or component list are made.
You can also set the production ID's status back to Entered from Released. In this instance, the system deletes the production ID's component list and operation list. If you set the status to Firmed, the system doesn't delete the component list and operation list, but it updates the status.
If you change the status of a released production ID and you integrate with a third-party MES, PeopleSoft Manufacturing uses the Production Order Update EIP to publish a message to the MES with the transaction information. The MES then subscribes to that message and updates the MES information.

Changing Production Schedule Statuses
Access the Production Schedule Status page (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Change Prdn Schedule Status, Prod Sched Status Change).
Production Schedule Detail
When no revision is specified, the system uses either the start or due date (based on the BOM explosion date option on the Manufacturing definition page) of the production for determining the bill of material used for producing the item.
To release production, change the production status from Entered or Firmed to Released. If the change was from Entered when you save this page, the system creates the end item's component list and operation list by copying the item's bill of material and routing. Additionally, the routing operations start and due dates and times are calculated. Also, this change enables you to make manual changes to the output list, if desired. If the change was from Firmed, only the status is updated, and the operation, component, and output lists are unchanged.
If you have reversed an In Process production schedule, you can change it to a prior status such as Entered, Firmed, or Released. If you change the status back to Firmed or Released, no changes to the operation, component, or output lists are made. You can also set the production schedule status back to Entered from Released. In this instance, the system deletes the production schedule's component list and operation list, and manual changes to the output list are no longer allowed. If you set the status to Firmed, the system doesn't delete the component list and operation list, but it updates the status.
You can also set the production schedule's status back to Entered from Firmed or Released. In this instance, the system deletes the production schedule's component list and operation list. In addition, the output list is regenerated and cannot be manually maintained.
When you change the status of a released production schedule, if you are integrating to a third-party MES, PeopleSoft Manufacturing uses the Production Order Update EIP to publish a message to the MES with the transaction information. The MES then subscribes to that message and updates the MES information.

Changing Production Statuses and Releasing
Multiple Production IDs and Schedules Simultaneously
Access the Release Production Selection page (Production Control, Process Production, Release Production, Request Prdn Status Change, Request Prdn Status Change).
Report Request Parameters
Enter a request ID and select the business unit.
Current Status and Convert Production To
In the Current Status group box, select whether the current production is Entered or Firmed, and whether you want to change the production status from:
Entered to Firmed
Entered to Released
Firmed to Released
Note. You cannot use the Production Status Change process to reverse orders and change them to prior statuses. Use the Production ID Status Change page or the Production Schedule Status Change page to change production to prior statuses.
Number of Days Out
Enter the number of days out for the production status change. This number indicates the beginning date and the number of days into the future. The default is zero (0); this is the current system date. For example, enter 0 in both the beginning and to fields if you want to change production with the current system date. If you want to change Entered production to Released beginning one day from the current system date and three days into the future, enter 1 in the beginning field and 3 in the to field.
Note. Any production considered to be past due is assumed to start on the current system date. Therefore, you must enter 0 in the beginning Number of Days Out field to include past due production information.
Inc Past Due
Select the Inc Past Due (include past due) check box to include all production of that status with a due date earlier than the early fence in the selection criteria.
Note. You can only select the Inc Past Due check box with one of the entered rows.
Defining Additional Production Status Change
and Release Criteria
