Prerequisites

Before you create production IDs and production schedules, make sure that:

• Items have been defined in PeopleSoft Inventory.

• BOMs have been created for the assembly item.

• Production areas are defined.

• The items you'll be manufacturing, tearing down, or reworking are linked to a production area by using the production Area Maintenance component or the Production Option Maintenance component.

  The production area and item relationship must have an Active status.

• All items you'll be tracking using production IDs have the MA ID (maintain production IDs) check box selected on the production Area Maintenance Summary page.

• The production calendar is defined.

• The five-day work week is defined for the business unit if you are not using production calendars.

Optionally, you can define:

• A primary routing or alternate routing for the items you'll be manufacturing.

  For reworking assemblies, you can also define rework BOMs or rework routings.

• If you typically tear down finished end items into their component parts, define a teardown routing, defining the operations necessary in the teardown process.

  Additionally, indicate on the production BOM which components are outputs from a teardown process.

• Any revisions for revision-controlled items that you manufacture.

• Any work center calendars.
