Entry screen

Principles of functioning

The interface processing is carried out via files with fixed names which formats are defined by pre-defined import and export models dedicated to each flow.

Export flow: X3 - - - > OSYS

Import flows: OSYS - - - > X3

 These models, pre-defined, may be subject to a redelivery. The last delivery of the Time Lord. It is therefore not recommended to modify their content. However, if it is necessary to modify a model (addition of fields, for example), it is possible to duplicate it.

Specificities of each template

Export models

MESMWS: Work centers

• The following structure is exported to OSYS:
   
  - Site
  - Work center group
  - Work center
   
   The weekly structures and capacity variations are not exported.
   
• The WSTTYP field - Work center type can take the following values:
   
  1 - Machine
  2 - Labor
  3 - Sub-contracting
   
   Since sub-contracting is not managed in OSYS, the lines set to the value 3 in the WSTTYP field are not exported.

MESMFI: Work orders

• Only firm WOs (MFGSTA = 1) are exported.
   
• When the BPCTYPDEN field - Recipient type = 0, the recipient corresponds to a customer and the original document (VCRNUMORI field) contains the order number.
   
• The lot and location are entered if possible; only the exported values will be authorized when importing production reportings.

MESMFO: Operations

• Only firm WOs (MFGSTA = 1) are exported.
   
• Only the operations whose work center is not a sub-contracting work center are exported.
   
• Only the stages that have a normal tracking or with ranges (DACMST = 2 or 3) are exported.

MESMFM: Materials

• Only firm WOs (MFGSTA = 1) are exported.
   
• When the BOMOPE field - Operation number is not specified in the MFGMAT table (optional field), the number of the first WO operation is exported.
   
• The Description (BOMSHO field) is entered either with the description found for either the material on the work order, or directly with the product description.

Import/export templates

MESMKO  Operation tracking

• If, in the entry file, the balance flag = 2, then the operation is closed
   It is possible to perform trackings on a closed operation.
   
• When importing operation trackings, a control controls whether the material trackings and production reportings must be launched.
  The material trackings and production reportings are not imported when the operation tracking generates them automatically. This behavior is a function of the setup defined in the entry transaction Time tracking plan, used to import in X3. Selecting this transaction is done using the parameter MKOTRSNUM - Import time tracking TRS); it is called again in the screen Launch the interface processing.

MESMKI: Production reporting

• When importing production reportings, the lines are created by using the default status indicated on the interface processing launch screen.
   
• When importing production reportings, a control checks if the imports of material trackings must be launched or not.
  The material trackings do not need to be imported while the production reporting generates them automatically. This behavior is a function of the setup defined in the entry transaction Production planning, used to import in X3. Selecting this transaction is done using the parameter MKITRSNUM - Import prod rprtng TRS); it is called again in the screen of Launch the interface processing.

 In Server mode, if at least one error is detected upon import, the file concerned is moved to the storage repertory and the date/time and ".err" extension are appended to its name
Moreover, the corresponding log file is also copied to this repertory, under the name "TRA" followed by the date/time and ".tra" extension.

Error messages

The only error messages are the generic ones.
