This enables you to change the setup time, startup time, startup quantity, unit run time, teardown time and wait time during maintenance of internal operations.

This allows an operation to end earlier than the prior one when calculating the start or delivery date of a job. Otherwise an operation's end date is never calculated as being before the completion date of a prior one. Also, when working backwards and negative move time is applied to an operation that causes it to start later than the next one, the system takes the current operation and works backwards until its start date is earlier than the next one's start date.

This is the warehouse that will be used for floor stock items (floor stock and bulk issue). Floor stock items don't require requisitions and are issued automatically to a job upon confirmation. They are included in the costing process and are allowed to go negative, regardless of your warehouse settings. Bulk issue items are issued automatically as material allocations to a job without affecting the on hand quantity of the item. The item is included as a component in the costing process.

Automatic places a bin on hold that is affected by the receipt of a job into stock, preventing issues from the bin until the hold is released. Prompt operator lets the operator decide whether a bin affected by the receipt of a job into stock must be placed on hold.

This allows you to view the job number when maintaining an order linked to a job after the job is set to complete. Otherwise, the details of a receipted job set to complete are not displayed in the Sales Order Entry program and you will need to use the Sales Order Query program to view these details (by selecting the Show jobs that are complete or jobs linked to a completed detail line preference. This applies to jobs for stocked and non-stocked items set to complete after this option is enabled.

This allows you to review all demand for stock when receipting a job (e.g. reserve, allocate or issue quantities to jobs and orders as required).

Percentage indicates that the maximum variance value that can be automatically cleared is a percentage of the total expected cost of the quantity to manufacture against the job. Value indicates that the maximum variance value that can be automatically cleared is the outstanding WIP value. This applies only if the Job Receipts program is used to process the receipt of a stocked item and the job is set to complete when the receipt is processed.

This is the maximum allowable percentage or value that can automatically be cleared (99.99 if defined as a percentage and 999999999999.99 if defined as a value).

This applies the automatically cleared variance rules regardless of the Inventory costing method selected. Otherwise the automatically cleared variance rules apply only to warehouses using standard costing.

Required always charges for labor costs incurred when processing a part billing. Prompt operator lets the operator to decide whether to charge for labor costs incurred at the time of processing a part billing.

This is the default labor service charge code to use when processing a part billing and is used if a labor service charge code has not been defined against the work center.

This prints an on-line document for each kit issue processed for a job.

This enables you to perform kit issues, regardless of any shortages encountered (select this if you want to be able to substitute stock items when issuing kits in the Job Issues program. Otherwise, no kits are issued where shortages are encountered, forcing you to review material issues.

This enables you to substitute stock items when issuing kits in the Job Issues program. You must enable the Allow kits with shortages to be issued option.

For items where the manufacturing quantity basis is defined as pan size, this option rounds up to the pan size any materials issued as kits in the Job Issues program.

This ensures that the system prompts you for an operation number when you try to issue materials not defined as allocations for the job. If no operations exist for the job, then any issue of materials is added automatically as required for operation 1 (i.e. the start date of the job).

This enables the Sequence checking on operations required option by default when capturing job details.

This enables the Job confirmed option by default when capturing job details. You can override this in the RMA Issues and Receipts program.

This enables the Include overtime % in date calculation option by default when adding or maintaining jobs with a date calculation method of Finite scheduled delivery date.

This is the maximum queue time allowed when calculating the forward finite capacity. It sets a finite limit on the insertion of operations into the capacity profile for each work center.

Notional allows you to enter the quantity to manufacture against the notional part when creating a job. The quantities of the co-products to manufacture are then calculated according to the quantity entered for the notional part. Co-product allows you to enter the quantity to manufacture against each co-product attached to the notional part when creating a job for a notional part. The notional part's quantity to make is then calculated according to the quantities entered for each co-product.

This creates amendment journals when live jobs are created, confirmed, maintained, deleted, or placed on hold as well as when job labor and material allocations are added, changed or deleted. No amendment journals are created for MRP snapshot jobs. The journals can be viewed in the Browse on Job Amendment Journals program and listed on the WIP Job Amendment Journals Report.

This validates the machine code during processing in the Labor Posting program.

This validates the employee number during processing in the Labor Posting program.

This posts non-productive time against jobs when you select to update the job in the Labor Posting program. Otherwise only the productive time is updated against the job. If you don't update the job in the Labor Posting program, then posting is not made to a specific job. Only the BOM Work Center table is updated and the Labor journal is generated.

Indicate the last period end date for the Work in Progress labor analysis system. This field is updated when you run the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program.

Indicate the last month end date for the Work in Progress labor analysis system. This field is updated when you run the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program.

Indicate the last year end date for the Work in Progress labor analysis system. This field is updated when you run the Labor period end function of the WIP Period End program.

Choose whether you want to reserve lots for parent parts and co-products when confirming a job. If No, then lots are captured only when the job is receipted into stock. If Yes, then the WIP Reserve Lots & Serials Maintenance program is loaded for each traceable parent part and co-product when the job is confirmed. If Prompt operator then the operator is prompted once only to reserve lots for parent parts and co-products upon job confirmation.

This lets you choose whether you want to reserve serials for parent parts and co-products when confirming a job. If No, then serial numbers are captured only when the job is receipted into stock. If Yes, then serial numbers are reserved for serialized parent parts and co-products. The WIP Reserve Lots & Serials Maintenance program is loaded for each serialized parent part and co-product when the job is confirmed. If Prompt operator, then the operator is prompted once only to reserve serials for parent parts and co-products upon job confirmation.

Choose whether you want to reserve lots for material allocations when confirming a job. If No, then lots are captured only when the materials are issued to the job. If Yes, then the WIP Reserve Lots & Serials Maintenance program is loaded for each lot traceable component when the job is confirmed. If Prompt operator, then the operator is prompted once only to reserve lots for material allocations upon job confirmation.

This lets you choose whether you want to reserve serials for material allocations when confirming a job. If No, then serial numbers are captured only when the materials are issued to the job. If Yes then the WIP Reserve Lots & Serials Maintenance program is loaded for each serialized component when the job is confirmed. If Prompt operator, then the operator is prompted once only to reserve serials for material allocations upon job confirmation.

This allows a job to be receipted into stock using different lots/serials to the ones that were reserved for the parent at the time the job was confirmed.

This allows components to be issued to a job using different lots/serials to the ones that were reserved for the material allocations at the time the job was confirmed.

This enables you to indicate which anticipated cost to use when calculating the threshold cost for a head/section. The posting threshold percentage and anticipated values are defined against each head/section using the P&C Maintenance of Job Hierarchies program. When adding or issuing allocations to a head/section, a warning is displayed if the threshold is exceeded.

This automatically expands the entire treeview of hierarchies before you can start posting or maintaining entries using a number of programs. Otherwise, the hierarchy maintenance and posting programs only display a single level of the treeview at a time (i.e. each level of the treeview is only loaded when you select the plus sign in the treeview). This means that large hierarchies are displayed more quickly.

This defaults to displaying hierarchies in a listview rather than a treeview in a number of programs.

This enables you to generate a delivery note online when using the Part Billings program to part-bill a non-stocked hierarchical job linked to an hierarchical sales order. The delivery note is created for the ship quantity when you release a quantity from back order in part billings (i.e. the current ship quantity on the sales order). This only applies to hierarchical sales orders linked to hierarchical jobs.

This is the number by which each operation must be incremented when adding operations in the Work in Progress module (this does not apply when adding operations in the Bill of Materials module). It determines the operation numbers assigned to operations.

This is the operation number you want to assign to the first operation added to a job.

This lets you define whether existing operations can be renumbered when the WIP Browse on Labor Allocations program is used to add operations to a job. You can prevent this if the operation has started, or a job has been added, confirmed or started. An operation is seen as started if the actual queue date or start date is set to non-zero. A job is seen as started if a value for materials exists or labor hours have been posted to the job. A job is added once created, regardless of whether it is confirmed.
