Production Statuses

Entered

The system recognizes a production ID's quantity, start date, and due date, but the order has no operation list or component list. In addition, the system creates a display-only output list for production with the status Entered. If production is for a single output item, an output list is generated with the end item listed as the primary item.

You can:

Change the production order's status from Entered to Firmed or Released using the Production ID Maintenance component, the Production ID Status Change page, or the Production Schedule Status Change page.
Record end item completions and scrap for Entered orders if you release production using the Record Completions/Scrap component.
Select an option at the business unit level to release production IDs automatically, to prompt you when releasing production IDs, or to not release production IDs automatically.

Firmed

A Firmed production ID or production schedule has a quantity, start date, and due date, but the BOM and routing are frozen and the component and operation lists exist. In addition, the output list also exists and can be changed. You cannot generate a picking plan for a Firmed order.

You can:

Change the production status from Firmed to Released using the either the Production ID Maintenance component, the Production Schedule Maintenance component, the Production ID Status Change page, or the Production Schedule Status Change pages.
Change the order from Firmed to Entered using the same pages.

Record end item completions and scrap for Firmed orders if you release production using the Record Completions/Scrap component.
Select an option at the business unit level to release production IDs automatically, to prompt you when releasing production IDs, or to not release production IDs automatically.

If you change the production start quantity or the production end quantity, the system recalculates the component requirements accordingly. If the production ID or production schedule contains multiple outputs such as primary items, co-products and by-products, the system also recalculates new output quantities.

In addition, if you're using operation yield, the system then readjusts starting or ending quantities for single output and multiple output production.

You can enter either a new start quantity or a new end quantity, but not both.

If a new routing code or revision is specified or the due date of production is changed, you can recreate the component and operation lists based on the new information associated with the production ID.

If a rework production ID is added and a rework BOM and routing have been defined, the routing is copied to create an operation list. Additionally, the item to be reworked is added automatically to the component list with the kit issue method. An output list is created with the rework item as the primary output.

If a teardown production ID is added, a component list is created with the teardown item as the component. The system assigns the kit issue method to the item to be torn down. If there are any additional components, the system issues them using the issue method set for each item on the production area and item level. If you have previously defined a teardown routing, it is copied to create an operation list. An output list is created based on either the component list of another production ID or the teardown components designated on the item's production BOM.

Released

In the Released status, the production has a component list, an operation list, and an output. All of these can be modified. Additionally, each operation's start date, due date, and time are determined. Once released, changing a production ID can result in the deletion of the existing component list and operation list. The lists are then re-added, based on the new information associated with the production ID.

If you change the production start quantity or production end quantity, the system recalculates the component requirements accordingly. If the production ID or production schedule contains multiple outputs (primary items, co-products and by-products), the system recalculates new output quantities.

For rework production IDs, the system creates a component list with the reworked end item as a component. The scheduled quantity is the same as the production ID quantity.

If you have created a rework BOM for the item, the system copies that to the component list as well. If additional material is needed to complete the rework, you can manually add the items to the component list. The system issues the additional components using the issue method set for each item at the production area and item level.

If you have created a rework routing, the system copies it to the operation list. If there is no rework routing, the system does not create an operation list for rework production, but you can manually create one. An output list is created with the rework item as the only output.

You can:

Generate a picking plan.
Record completions and scrap.
Modify the production start quantity or production end quantity.
Add or change by-products for production.
Change the status from Released to Firmed or Entered, except for a production ID with subcontracted operations if a purchase order has been generated against the production ID.

In Process

When you have recorded production transactions such as issuing or consuming components and recording completions, scrap, or actual hours, the system automatically changes the production status to In Process. You can only change the text, the scheduling method, the production quantity, and the production ID's start or due date and time, depending on the scheduling method.

You can modify the production start quantity or production end quantity for a production ID or production schedule in the In Process status after production has been started.

If you increase or decrease the production start or production end quantity, the system recalculates the component requirements accordingly.

If the production ID or production schedule contains multiple outputs (primary items, co-products and by-products), the system recalculates new output quantities.
If you decrease the production start or production end quantity, the system verifies that you are not decreasing the order quantity to less than what has already been reported as completed or scrapped.

You receive warning messages if components have been over-issued or over-consumed based on the new order quantity.

In either case, the system adjusts the component scheduled quantities to reflect the new order quantity and marks the production ID as changed so that PeopleSoft Supply Planning reschedules the operations during the next planning run.

You can also:

Generate production ID splits for production IDs with a status of In Process.
Change In Process orders back to Released or another prior status if any completion quantities (at an operation or to stock) have been completely reversed.

To do this, you must reverse all end item completions and scrap, return components to stock, and reverse all actual hour recordings to correct completions or actual hours errors that have been reported against a particular production ID.

You cannot modify operation yields once the order is in process.

Note:

You cannot change the production quantity if the production ID has a subcontracted operation and you've generated a purchase order for the ID.

Pending Complete

The Pending Complete status indicates that the scheduled production start or production end quantity has been completed or production for the day and shift has been completed, and you have selected the Production Completed check box on the Complete Production page in the Record Completions/Scrap component.

Complete

To change production to the Complete status, the scheduled quantity must be finished and you must have run the Close Production process to close the production ID or production schedule to any material movement. After an order is in the Complete status, you cannot record any operation or end item completions or any additional component consumption or scrap.

Note:

Production must be in the In Process or Pending Complete status before you can change it to Complete.

Closed for Labor

The system sets the Closed for Labor status when you run the Close Production process to close the production ID or production schedule to any additional actual labor or machine hour recording. You can change the production status Closed for Labor from In Process, Pending Complete, or Complete.

Closed for Accounting

When you run the Close Production process to accounting, the system sets the production status to Closed for Accounting, which closes the production ID to all transactions and records the variances associated with production.

Canceled

The Canceled status cancels existing production quantities associated with a production ID. You can cancel production if the production status is Entered, Firmed or Released. You cannot cancel a production ID with subcontracted operations if a purchase order has been generated against the production ID.
