Manage Production by Day and Shift (Production Schedules)

PeopleSoft Manufacturing generates a schedule for processing by day and shift for regular production by:

• Creating a production schedule as part of the supply planning process.

• Creating a production schedule at the end of a production run.

  Note:

  Production schedules support in-house production only. If you have subcontracted operations on a routing, you must use a production ID to track production.

  Once you've created the production schedule, you release production, and then either generate pick lists to issue material to production or maintain a maximum quantity on hand for components in a WIP location.

  If a production schedule has not been created, you can still record completions. At that time, the system prompts you to automatically add the production quantity to the schedule.

  To record completions and scrap for production schedules:

1. Record completions and scrap quantities for production schedules using the Record Completions/Scrap page.

   Record completions and scrap for the entire production quantity, or perform a partial backflush of completed end items. You can record completions for production schedules with multiple outputs. However, all multiple outputs and scrap must be completed at the last operation.

   Note:

   If a schedule for the production date and shift has not been created when recording end item completions and scrap, the system creates a production schedule and releases production.

2. (Optional) If you're completing a production schedule with multiple outputs, the Outputs Detail area appears.

   You can add unplanned by-products. Scrapped end items are recorded at the batch level, but not for each output.

3. (Optional) Change component information using the Edit/Issue Components page.

4. (Optional) Transfer completions data to PeopleSoft Quality by clicking the Quality link.

5. (Optional) If you're using serial- or lot-controlled items, and the components are issued to production using the Replenish or Issue method, you must select the serialized components or lots from which to consume the components.

   1. Automatically generate serial numbers by using the Rapid Serial Numbers page.

   2. Access the Edit/Issue Express page, or click the button next to the serial- or lot-controlled component on the Edit/Issue Components Summary page. For lot-controlled components you can use the backflush lot selection rule to automatically select lot IDs during backflush. For more information on the backflush lot selection rule, see the "Automatically Consuming Lot-Controlled Stock During a Backflush" section of this topic.

   3. Use the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area on the Record Completions/Scrap page to assign a lot if the completed end item is lot-controlled.

      Note:

      You can move end items to an existing lot or create a new lot.

6. Move completed end items out of production.

   You may route them to a production ID, to another production area for further processing, or to a stores inventory location. You cannot route waste by-products.

   1. (Optional) Click the Apply Defaults link to route the end items to a default putaway location.

      Note:

      The completions process puts away items in their standard UOMs.

   2. (Optional) Select an alternate putaway location.

      Note:

      If you're routing the end item to another production ID, the putaway process is not required.

7. (Optional) Run the Completions Update process.

   You run this process to update completions transactions that are staged by other processes, such as Edit Components updates, production completions, or subcontracted completions recorded through electronic data collection.

8. (Optional) Make reversing entries to correct data entry errors.

   You can return components to their original storage location or to an alternate location. If you're returning lot- or serial-controlled components, you must select the serial IDs or lot IDs from which the components were originally consumed.

9. (Optional) Move excess components out of WIP locations using the Maintain Inventory navigation.

   You can move these components to another production area or back to a stores inventory location.

10. Record actual labor and machine hours.

11. Run the Close Production SQR process to indicate that the production schedules are complete.
