  • Prdn ID (production ID)

Values are:

  • Complete

  • Clsd/Labor (closed for labor)

  • Clsd/Acctg (closed for accounting)

Curr Prdn Due/Close Dates (current production due/close dates)

Enter the appropriate date ranges.

If you're closing any In Process or Pending Complete production, the system closes any production IDs or production schedule quantities whose production due date falls within the date range specified.

If you are closing any production IDs or production schedule quantities whose current status is Complete or Closed for Labor, the system closes any production whose close date falls within the range specified.

Complete with Component Shortages

Select this check box if you want to close production even if you haven't issued all material for the production ID or production schedule quantity. In this instance, the quantity issued to production is less than the current scheduled quantity for the component.

Close with Assemblies Remain (close with assemblies remaining)

Select this check box if you want to close production even though the full production quantity hasn't been completed.

Tolerance %

You must indicate a tolerance percentage is you selected the Close with Assemblies Remain check box. Use this field to define what percentage of assemblies can remain uncompleted and still close production with remaining assemblies. For example, if you have a production ID with an order quantity of 100 but have completed only 92 units and enter a tolerance percent of 5, this production ID won't close because the quantity remaining to be completed is 8 percent of the order quantity. The default is 0 percent. The system closes any production in process, pending complete, complete, or closed for labor only if the quantity of assemblies completed and scrapped at each operation equals the quantity started at each operation.

Variance Distrib Type (variance distribution type)

Can be used in conjunction with the transaction group for variances to define the accounting entries to post the variance to the general ledger. The default distribution type for the transaction group (if one was defined) displays, but you can override the distribution type for each accounting close. This field is optional and used only when closing production for accounting.

Note:

If any of the production IDs are for production with one or more subcontracted operations, the system can't close production if the subcontracted purchase order(s) haven't been fully received. To close those production IDs, the material must be received and the subcontracted operation must be recorded as complete.

WARNING:

The close production process generates several .DAT files and writes them to the C:\TEMP directory. If you are trying to create a Production Close report or run the production close process, and an error message displays indicating permission is denied, you don't have write access to the C:\TEMP directory. See your system administrator to provide write access before running this process again.
