Field help (OPEUOM)

Work order operation quantities are expressed in the operation unit. Use this operation unit to express operating time in a different unit to that of the product being produced by the routing.

For example, a product managed by unit is subject to three different operations, none of which produce intermediate stock:

• Mixing time (operation 1) is expressed for a lot with Kilogram as the unit;
• Extrusion time (operation 2) is a rate in meters per hour;
• Cutting time (operation 3) is expressed in hours per unit.

There is no need to create semi-finished products for each production phase.

The operation unit is associated with a conversion coefficient for the stock unit of the product being produced by the routing and the operation unit.
