Selecting this option enables you to choose any ordering option, including Show materials first.

You can only select this option when you select the option: Show treeview in plain text.

For example, if you select 05 and the previous component had a sequence of 10, then the next component you add will be allocated sequence number 15.

You use this field to indicate the work center in which the operation must be performed.

For example, if the run time method against the work center is defined as Unit, then you will need to enter the Unit run time. If the method is defined as Rate or Block, then you will need to enter the Quantity and Time taken, for the unit run time to be calculated automatically.

This field is only enabled if the Run time calculation method defined against the word center is Rate or Block.

Indicate the time taken to produce one unit during full speed production. It forms part of elapsed time.

If the Run time calculation method defined against the work center is Block or Rate, then the Unit run time is calculated by the system according to the values you entered in the Quantity and Time taken fields.

You can only access this field if the run time calculation method for the work center is defined as unit.

For example: If the job is to make bicycle wheels and this operation is to make spokes for the wheels, then you could indicate that 30 spokes (i.e. number of pieces) are required for each wheel.

Additionally, when making spokes for a bicycle wheel, the operator could mark the number of spokes produced during the operation enabling the system to calculate the number of wheels for which the operator has manufactured spokes.

Indicate whether this is a milestone operation. This enables you to post labor to key operations and update all prior operations with labor postings.

Refer to the Milestone operation entry in the Glossary for additional information on milestone operations.

Indicate whether the elapsed time of the operation must be dynamically calculated, or manually entered as a fixed number of days.

Select this to indicate that the elapsed time of the operation is manually entered as a fixed number of days.

If you do not select this option, then the elapsed time of the operation is dynamically calculated.

Dynamically calculated elapsed times means that if the batch size changes then the elapsed time is amended automatically. This enables the Requirements Calculation and Forward Finite Scheduling programs to take account of this when calculating suggested job start and delivery dates.

The Lead Time Calculation program re-calculates dynamic elapsed times providing you do not define the elapsed time as fixed.

Dynamically calculated elapsed times means that if the batch size changes then the elapsed time is amended automatically. This enables the Requirements Calculation and Forward Finite Scheduling programs to take account of this when calculating suggested job start and delivery dates.

The Lead Time Calculation program re-calculates dynamic elapsed times providing you do not define the elapsed time as fixed.

If you enter -999 in this field, then this operation will run together with the preceding operation (i.e. this operation and the previous operation will run in parallel).

If the elapsed time for both operations is the same, then the two operations will start and end at the same time.

If their elapsed times differ, then you can force the operations to either end a the same time or start at the same time depending on how you sequence them.

If you sequence the longer operation first, then they will end together. If you sequence the shorter operation first, then they will start together. In each case, you set the -99 movement time against the second operation.

These options only apply when the Progressive scrap option is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).

	If you define a fixed quantity per against a component, then any progressive scrap percentage or quantity you define against an operation through which that component moves is not applied.

Indicate the percentage of scrap you want to assign to the operation.

At the time of creating a job for the parent, any material allocation associated with this operation is inflated according to the scrap percentage entered.

At the time of creating a job for the parent, any material allocation associated with this operation is inflated according to the scrap quantity entered.

You can use the P&C Maintenance of Job Hierarchies program to maintain hierarchies.

Indicate the work center in which the operation must be performed.

Indicate the subcontract value of the operation.

You must enter this value in local currency, regardless of whether the subcontractor is a foreign currency supplier.

Enter the Markup/Margin % (depending on your selections in the Quotations Setup program), which must be added to the total cost of the operation.

The default displayed can be changed.

Indicate the number of pieces involved in the operation. This enables you to mark quantities in a measure that is meaningful to you.

For example: If the job is to make bicycle wheels and this operation is to make spokes for the wheels, then you could indicate that 30 spokes (i.e. number of pieces) are required for each wheel.

Additionally, when making spokes for a bicycle wheel, the operator could mark the number of spokes produced during the operation enabling the system to calculate the number of wheels for which the operator has manufactured spokes.

If you enter -999 in this field, then this operation will run together with the preceding operation (i.e. this operation and the previous operation will run in parallel).

At the time of creating a job for the parent, any material allocation associated with this operation is inflated according to the scrap percentage entered.

You can use the P&C Maintenance of Job Hierarchies program to maintain hierarchies.

Select this to assign user-defined text to the operation.

You can select whether to enter specific narration text for the operation, or retrieve text assigned to a standard narration code if the option: Standard narrations for operations is enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).

See Operation Narrations.

The number you enter here becomes the sequence number for the first component listed in the listview.

For example, if the Starting sequence is set to 1 and you enter 5 in this field, then the 2nd component will have the sequence number 6.

If you do not select this option, then you can manually define the sequence number for each component in relation to the parent stock code.

Indicate the sequence number for the component in relation to the parent stock code.

The sequence number is used to show more than one occurrence of the parent/component relationship.

For example: If the same size screws must be used to secure a lid to a base and both of them to another component, you can indicate that eight screws are needed, or four screws are needed on two separate occasions.

You can only access this field if you indicated that structure sequencing is required (Bill of Materials Setup).

Regardless of whether you require structure sequencing, this field defaults to the entry made at the Sequencing - Default number field (Bill of Materials Setup). In addition, this field is disabled if you selected the Automatic sequencing option.

Indicate the component stock item needed to make the parent part.

This cannot be a kit type item.

If you selected the option: Non-stocked, then you enter a non-stocked component item needed to make the parent part.

Select this if the quantity per you entered in the previous field relates to a fixed quantity per parent.

You enter the number of parent parts that the fixed quantity is per in the Parent per fixed quantity field below.

	If you define a fixed quantity per against a component, then any progressive scrap percentage or quantity defined against an operation through which that component moves is not applied.

Enter the number of parent parts that the fixed quantity is per. If you enter zero in this field, then the system assumes that you require the fixed quantity per that was entered, regardless of the number of parent parts to be made.

This field is only enabled if you selected the option: Fixed quantity above.

Enter the number of the operation for which you need the component. This number can be in the range 1 to 999, where 1 indicates that the component is required for the first operation (i.e. at the start of a job).

You can select the Browse icon to use the Quotation Estimate Operations Browse program to view details of operations for the current non-stocked parent item.

This field is displayed if you selected the Offset > Operation option.

Enter the number of days before the job completion date in which the component is required. The number of days entered is offset backwards from the finish date of the job.

For example: If the component is required 7 days before the completed manufacture date, then you would enter 7 here. An entry of 0 indicates that the component is required on the date a suggested job is due to be completed.

This field is displayed if you selected the Offset > Offset Days option.

This free format field usually consists of one or two letters followed by a number. Occasionally that number is then followed by a letter indicating that components are grouped or matched with each other.

Enter the percentage which must be added to the quantity per, to take account of scrap.

For example: If you enter 15% (for a quantity per of 1), then 115 components are allocated to make 100 of the parent items.

Enter the quantity which must be added to the components issued, to take account of scrap.

For example: If you enter a scrap quantity of 5 (for a one-to-one parent/component relationship), then 25 components are allocated to make 20 of the parent items.

This field is not available if you selected the option: Fixed quantity above.

Enter the Markup/Margin % (depending on your selections in the Quotations Setup program), which must be added to the total cost of the component.

The default displayed can be changed.

Select this to automatically process the scrap percentage, or quantity, defined against operations (i.e. the progressive scrap).

	Any progressive scrap percentage, or quantity, defined against an operation through which a component moves is not applied if you defined a fixed quantity per against the component.

You can use the P&C Maintenance of Job Hierarchies program to maintain hierarchies.

Select this to use the Admin Notepad Editor (Monospaced Text) program to assign user-defined text to the component.

You can only access this function if you indicated that structure narrations are required (Bill of Materials Setup).

For a non-stocked bought out component, it is the unit cost from the Non-stocked table.

For a non-stocked made in component, the unit cost is not saved, but calculated from the cost roll up. Therefore, a hyperlink is enabled to the cost roll up for the component (with the quantity per value).

This field is hidden by default and is added to the form using the Show captions option.
