Understanding Recording Completions and Scrap

Within a manufacturing enterprise, you need to track end items as they make their way through the production area. With PeopleSoft Manufacturing, you can manage production by orders, repetitive schedules, backflushing, or creating a schedule to record completions and scrap after you have completed production. Subcontracted operations are fully supported. You can assign serial and lot numbers to completed end items and complete end items to containers while moving them to inventory or to another production area. While recording completed operations, the system accumulates manufacturing costs and variances. You can also record actual machine and labor hours for each production order or production schedule.

PeopleSoft Manufacturing tracks the serial genealogy of production. This enables you to trace the movement of a specific serialized assembly and its components throughout the manufacturing process.

Note:

During completions, you can choose from serial IDs previously associated with a production ID, or you can enter a new serial ID for which the system automatically creates the serial association. Additionally, lot auto numbering only applies to configured orders.

PeopleSoft Manufacturing tracks the costs of material, labor, outside processing, and machines used to manufacture a product and manages the transactions necessary to report and track the status of a particular order or schedule by day and shift. The system supports these order types:

• Production IDs for regular, rework, or teardown production.

• Production schedules for tracking regular production by day and shift.

If you're recording completions and scrap for a production ID with subcontracted operations, you record the operation completions for the subcontracted operations slightly differently than for in-house production.

You can also record completions and scrap using electronic data collection.

See Understanding the Process of Recording Completions and Scrap Using Electronic Data Collection.

Recording Completions with Multiple Outputs

You can also record completions and scrap for production IDs and production schedules that have multiple outputs. Multiple outputs consist of:

Term	Definition
primary items	The main outputs from the manufacturing process.
co-products	Items, along with the primary item, that are planned for and produced as part of the manufacturing process. Co-products share the cost of the process; there may be independent demand in planning for the primary item.
by-products	Items that can be either waste by-products, which need to be disposed, or recycle by-products, which can be used as inputs to other processes. By-products are incidental to the process and have either a relief (negative) cost for recycle by-products or a disposal (positive) cost for waste by-products. There is typically not independent demand for by-products.

Expected Output When Using Yield by Operation

The system recalculates the expected output quantities when over-completions or over-scrap are performed. Over-scrap is when the scrap quantity exceeds the expected scrap, based on the operation yield. For example, the system recalculates a new output quantity if the actual scrap quantity exceeds the expected scrap quantity at an operation.

Transferring Completions Data to PeopleSoft Quality

If your installation includes PeopleSoft Quality, and you have defined quality configuration information and quality plans in PeopleSoft Quality for a manufactured item and its process, then the Quality link is active on the Record Completions/Scrap page. You click this link to transfer to PeopleSoft Quality to initiate a data entry session to record quality control information for the manufacturing process.

Completions Actions and Effects to Quantities on Hand

This table lists the results of completions actions:

Completions Action	Results
Recording positive completions	Decreases the business unit's on-hand quantity of the components, and increases the business unit's on-hand quantity of the completed end item. Decreases the storage location's quantity for the components, and increases the storage location's quantity for the completed end item. Decreases the lot quantity on-hand for lot-controlled components and increases the lot quantity on-hand for the completed end item, if it is lot-controlled.
Recording negative completions	Increases the business unit's on-hand quantity of the components, and decreases the business unit's on-hand quantity of the end item. Increases the storage location's quantity for the components, and decreases the storage location's quantity for the end item. Increases the lot quantity on-hand for lot-controlled components and decreases the lot quantity on-hand for the end item, if it is lot-controlled.
Recording completions to a non-WIP, nettable location	Increases the business unit's quantity available for the completed end item.
Recording negative completions to a non-WIP, nettable location	Decreases the business unit's quantity available for the end item, if the end item comes from a nettable, available, non-WIP location.
Recording positive completions to a nettable, available WIP location	Increases a business unit's quantity reserved for the completed end item.
Recording negative completions from a nettable, available WIP location	Decreases a business unit's quantity reserved for the end item. Decreases the lot quantity available for the completed end item.
