    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Grid

    • Tracking number (field MFGTRKNUM)

    This field displays the tracking number generated for a work order released for production.

    • Line (field MATTRKLIN)

    This field identifies the associated line on the source document or order.

    • Line no. (field MFGLIN)

    This field displays the line number of the released product.

    This field displays a component code. This product code is the code of a component (material) required to produce what is referred to as a 'Bill of Materials' or a 'BOM'. A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.

    • Material type (field MATTYP)

    This field displays the type of tracking:

    • 'BOM' if the tracking is by bills of material (BOM);
    • 'WO' if the tracking is by work order.

    • Major version (field ECCVALMAJ)

    This field indicates which version of this component (material) applies. Major versions might be used where there have been increased or significant changes to the original or previous version, that is the "form, fit or function" has changed.

    This field is not populated if the component code defined in the Component or Material field is not version managed.

    • Minor version (field ECCVALMIN)

    This field indicates which minor version of this component (material) applies. Minor versions might be used where there have been minor features or changes in functionality, or significant fixes applied to a specific major version.

    This field is not populated if the component code defined in the Component or Material field is not version managed.

    This field displays the original product code. This product code describes what is referred to as a 'Bill of Materials' or a 'BOM'. A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.

    Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning).

    • Consumed quantity (field USEQTY)

    This field displays the quantity of this component consumed to produce the bills of materials (BOMs) on this work order.

    This field displays the unit in which the product is stored. It provides the key to prices, costs, volumes etc.

    • Allocation date (field IPTDAT)

    This field displays the date the stock was allocated to this work order line.

    • Quantity type (field TYPQTY)

    This field indicates if this component is stored in stock. This field can be set to one of the following values:

    • Physical. This is a physical component for which quantities are stored in stock.
    • Active. This is an active component such as nails or staples for which quantities are not stored in stock.
       Active components have a "potency" percentage defined on their stock record.

    This field displays a component code. This product code is the code of a component (material) required to produce what is referred to as a 'Bill of Materials' or a 'BOM'. A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.

    • BOM sequence (field BOMSEQ)

    This field identifies the sequence number of this component in the BOM (bill of materials).

    • Preferred lot (field LOTPREF)

    This field displays the preferred lot. This particular lot was selected manually when this component was allocated to this (firm) work order.

    • Storage location (field LOCPREF)

    This field displays the preferred storage location. This location was selected manually when this component was allocated to this (firm) work order.

    • Preferential status (field STAPREF)

    This field displays the preferred component status. This status was selected manually when this component was allocated to this (firm) work order.

    • No. W.O. (field MFGNUM)

    This field displays the work order number.

    This field displays the code of the product to be released. The product code is valid for the defined production site. It is a manufactured product (product category), held in stock (stock management mode) and is active (product status).

    This field displays the associated project code. The content can be one of the following:

    • A project code
    • A project code and a project budget code
    • A project code and a project task code, that is a material task code, a labor task code (sales only), or a combined (mixed) labor and material task code.

    If the content of this field includes a character such as an exclamation mark "!" this field links to the structure of the project. The character is the separator between a project code and the structure, either the project cost structure or the project operational structure. For example, if a material task code is 'USA-P3' and a project code is 'USA12345678', this field displays a link to the project operational structure as 'USA12345678!USA-P3'.

    To provide a quick and easy visual reference the link to the project or project structure is distinguishable by the number of separator characters used. If there is no separator, the link is made to the project. A single separator character such as an exclamation mark after the project code (the first code) indicates the link type is a task (the link is to the project operational structure). Two separators placed after the project code mean that the link corresponds to a budget code (link to the project budget structure).

    • Order (field VCRNUMORI)

    This field identifies the number of the source document or order.

    • Operation (field OPENUM)

    This field displays the sequence number of this operation.

    • Actual work center (field CPLWST)

    This field identifies the production resource used for this operation.

    • Tracking date (field MFGTRKDAT)

    This field displays the date the stock transactions associated with this tracking number were posted.
