Add production settings

The Add Production side sheet includes the following settings.

• Production Type

  The type of production being added.

  Good production is added to the quantity produced. Rejected production is added to the quantity rejected. These quantities are used to determine the quality component of OEE.

  The selected production type affects the set of reasons available in the Production Reason list.

• Quantity

  The amount of produced items to add.

• Production Reason

  The reason assigned to this production of the item.

• Item ID

  The unique ID of the item being produced.

  The list will include multiple items if the job can produce items in addition to the standard item, such as substitutes or byproducts.

  If you select another item ID, the Item Description selection is updated accordingly.

• Item Description

  The description of the item being produced.

  The list will include multiple items if the job can produce items in addition to the standard item, such as substitutes or byproducts.

  If you select another item description, the Item ID selection is updated accordingly.

• Lot Number

  The lot number for the item being produced.

  This can only be set if, in MES Client, the May create new lots option has been selected for the job bill of material (BOM) for the selected item.

• To Storage Location

  The storage entity to which items produced by this entity are sent.

  This can only be set if, in MES Client, the May choose alternate inventory location option has been selected for the job BOM for the selected item.

• Created At

  The date and time when the quantity was added:

  • Current Time: The current date and time is used.

  • Earlier in Current Shift: Use the calendar and time widgets to enter the earlier time when the quantity was produced.

    Note: If "No Shift" is displayed with this choice, there is no current shift. For example, if there are no shifts over the weekend, the shift description used to specify time on Saturday or Sunday is "No Shift".

  • During the Previous Shift: Use the calendar and time widgets to enter the time in the previous shift when the quantity was produced.

    Note: If the entity does not have a shift schedule, then this list is unavailable because there are no current or previous shifts. Production will be added using the current time.

    Unless both of the system settings Maintain distinct good production records and Maintain distinct reject production records are selected (in MES Client), the Created At data and time for production with the same production reason, item, lot, and storage location will always be the first time an entry for that production was recorded.
