Production ID Splits

Occasionally, during the production process you may need to split a single production ID into two or more production orders. With PeopleSoft Manufacturing, you can split production when:

  • A portion of the production quantity needs to be split out because of a change in processing steps.

  • A portion of the production quantity must be split due to material shortages or capacity issues.

    This enables you to complete what you can and close out the order. The remaining quantities requiring material or resources remain on an open order.

  • Production variations occur, such as unplanned outputs that need to be completed separately and put away using a different item number.

Perform production ID splits for this type of production orders:

  • Production

  • Rework

  • Teardown

You can:

  • Split configured production IDs; however, you can only split the configured order to a new configured production ID.

  • Split production IDs that have subcontracted operations; however, you must perform the production split before running the Select Subcontract Prdn for PO process (SFS5000).

    Assign a new item number to the new production order if the final end item produced differs from the original item.

  • Manually adjust operation lists for production that has not started.

    Material, earned conversion costs and actual conversion hours are split across the From and To orders on an operation-by-operation basis. Scrap costs remain with the original production ID.

  • Correct and modify the component material split across orders even after the order has been split by using the PID to PID Component Transfers (production-ID to production-ID component transfers) page.

  • Split multiple outputs—primary items, co-products, by-products—to the new (To) production ID if there are still remaining quantities.

    In addition, the system copies any resources, attachments, text, or documents to the new (To) production ID. The system maintains the split history at the production header level, and you can view the history by using the Production ID Split History inquiry page.

  • Make manual changes to the components by using the Production ID Comp Transfer page after a production ID split.

You cannot perform production ID splits under these circumstances:

  • Production IDs that have subcontracted operations in process cannot be split.

  • Co-products cannot be split to primary items.

  • Splits across production types—production to teardown, rework to production, or teardown to rework—are not allowed.

  • Production IDs cannot be split if pegged.

Note:

Production schedules cannot be split.

When splitting production IDs being tracked by serial genealogy, you are prompted for the assembly serial IDs that are being split. These serial IDs will be associated with the new production ID. In addition, the component genealogy associated with the serial assemblies being split is moved to the new production ID.

Production order splits are permanent, and after they're created, the production orders cannot be rejoined at a later operation. Each production ID becomes a separate entity that must be closed and the costs must be reported independently. If more than two production IDs are required, the split must be run multiple times. When the entire quantity of a production ID is moved to one or more new production IDs, the status of the original production ID is set to Canceled.

Both the original (From) and the new (To) production IDs can be rescheduled in PeopleSoft Supply Planning.
