Configuration Code |
A non-active field that is related to a deprecated product. |
Intensity |
This value appears by default from the task and determines the basis of the scheduling. Values are: Labor Time: The start and due date of the operation can be based on the operation's labor time (labor intensive). Machine Time: The start and due date of the operation can be based on the operation's machine time (machine intensive). Longest: The start and due date can be based on the longest of the two times, evaluated for each time type in the operation. For example, suppose that labor setup is 7 minutes, machine setup is 10 minutes, labor run is 20 minutes, machine run is 25 minutes, labor fixed run is 11 minutes, and machine fixed run is 7 minutes, the total operation time would be machine setup (10) + machine run (25) + labor fixed run (11) = 36 minutes. Cumulative: The start and due date can also be based on the sum of the machine and labor time. |
Operation Overlap % (operation overlap percentage) |
Displays the percentage of processing time remaining at one operation before the next operation can start. An overlap percentage of 100 percent means that the next operation can start at the same time as the current operation. An overlap percentage of 5 percent means that 95 percent of the operation must be completed before the next can start. Operation overlap cannot be less than 0 percent or more than 100 percent, and there can be no overlap on the last routing operation sequence or prior to a subcontracted operation. However, the supplier can send the end item back in multiple shipments. Therefore, you can define operation overlap for a subcontracted operation. |
Operation Sequence |
Displays where you need the components in the manufacturing process. PeopleSoft Production Management uses the work center associated with each operation and the WIP location associated with each work center to determine where to deliver components. The component's issue method in combination with the operation sequence determines when and where the material is delivered and how the system updates inventory in the WIP location or the issue quantity on the component list. When the system sets the operation sequence to zero or an invalid operation sequence is specified, it is assumed that the component item is to be used at the first operation. |
Original Start Date/Time and Original End Date/Time |
Displays the date and time that the transaction system intends to start and end the operation. |
Production ID |
Displays the unique ID assigned to a production order or schedule in PeopleSoft Production Management. |
Production Type |
Specifies the production type. Values are:
|
Send Ahead Quantity |
Displays the number of units that must be accumulated or finished before they can be sent to the next operation and the next operation can begin. The send ahead quantity must be a positive number. Whether a whole number or a decimal appears depends on the item's UOM and quantity precision combination that was defined in PeopleSoft Inventory. For example, suppose that item ID A0007 has a UOM of EA and a Natural Round whole number combination, then you can only enter whole numbers. |
Sequence |
Displays the planning sequence number that the system assigned to track planned orders during the planning cycle. This field appears in the Planned Production component only. |
Work Center |
Work center where the operation step and tasks are performed. |

Type and Resource Type |
Displays a value that appears by default from the routing information. Values are: Setup, Fixed, Run, Post Production, and In Transit. |
Operation Time |
Used in conjunction with the time unit, defines the amount of time to complete one unit. |
Time Unit |
Displays the unit of time for the corresponding operation time. For example, suppose that 5 appears in the Operation Time field, and Days appears in the Time Unit field, then the operation completes one unit every five days. The system determines the number of hours in a day by the work center's average daily hours, which are defined on the Work Center Definition page. |
Operation Rate |
Used in conjunction with the rate unit, defines the rate at which operations are completed. |
Rate Unit |
Displays the unit of time for the corresponding operation rate. For example, suppose that 3 appears in the Operation Rate field, and Units/Day appears in the Rate Unit field, the operation completes three units every day. |
Include Setup |
Select to indicate that the system considers setup in the operation lead time calculation. If you elected to include setup, the setup time is factored into the task or operation's lead time. The system always considers setup in the lead time calculation of the first operation, if setup is specified, regardless of the check box setting. This option applies only to planning labor setup and planning machine setup operation types. If this option is not selected, setup can begin prior to any production units arriving at the work center. The system assumes that setup can occur at any time after the start of production and does not include it as part of the item's lead time, except at the first operation. |

Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Original Component ID |
Displays the original component from the BOM that the system uses to create the component list. When the component ID and the original component ID do not share the same value, a substitution has occurred. |
Scheduled Quantity |
Displays the number of assemblies scheduled for production for the corresponding operation sequence. |
Remaining Quantity |
Displays the outstanding demand for the component at a particular operation sequence. Note: Remaining quantity applies only to existing production orders and schedules. For planned production, the scheduled quantity and remaining quantity are the same. For all orders other than orders in process, the system calculates outstanding demand using the CURR_SCHED_QTY. For orders that are in process orders:
Note: The system determines QTY_COMP_AND_THRU and QTY_SCRAPPED by analyzing the operation list associated with the component list. If the operation sequence of the component is equal to zero, or if the operation sequence is not a valid operation list sequence, the system obtains these two quantities from the first operation for the assembly item. If the operation sequence of the component has a valid operation list sequence, the system obtains QTY_COMP_AND_THRU from that operation list sequence. In this case, QTY_SCRAPPED is equal to the sum of QTY_SCRAPPED from all prior operations. If no operation lists exist for the production ID, the system uses quantities from the production ID header. The system sets QTY_COMP_AND_THRU equal to COMPLETED_QTY and sets QTY_SCRAPPED equal to SCRAP_QTY. |
Quantities

Quantity |
Displays the number of components required based on per assembly or per order. |
Per |
Displays the component requirements, expressed as an amount per assembly with a unit of 1 or per order, an amount regardless of the order size. |
Yield |
Displays the expected percentage of usable components in a batch of components issued to production. |
Issue Quantity |
For components using the issue or replenishment material issue method, displays the quantity consumed from the WIP location for the component and is charged to work in process. For components using the kit method, this is the quantity issued directly to the production ID. |
Yield Loss Quantity |
Displays the quantity scrapped during the end item process and consumed from the WIP location. |
Pending Issue Quantity |
Displays the quantity used based on the quantity completed at the operation multiplied by the quantity per assembly. If the component's quantity is expressed as per order, this is the per order quantity. The per order quantity is completely consumed at the first backflush. This quantity has not yet been consumed from the WIP location due to material shortages. |
Pending Yield Loss Quantity |
Displays the quantity of components scrapped during the end item process but not yet consumed from the WIP location due to material shortages. |
Note: Substitutes require the system to recalculate the quantity per and current scheduled quantity.
