You use this field to assign an operation to the parent stock code. If you enter an operation that already exists, you can select the Add function to insert this as a new operation.

You can define a maximum of 999 operations against each bill of materials structure.

Because operations are assigned to work centers (and work centers are assigned to cost centers), at least one cost center must be defined before you can add an operation.

Select this to use the Multimedia program to define multimedia objects against the operation.

Select this to maintain an internal operation.

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

This indicates the time unit of measure defined against the cost center (Cost Centers) defined against the work center.

Indicate the time taken to ready a specific machine, process or work center for use. No usable items are produced during the setup period. It forms part of the operation elapsed time.

Indicate the quantity of product manufactured during the start up period and is deducted from the actual quantity to be manufactured when the run time is calculated.

Enter the quantity of the item that can be manufactured in the time entered in the Time taken field below. 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.

Indicate the amount of time between the end of the current operation and the availability of the product to be moved to the next work center. This forms part of elapsed time. Wait time is not included in the calculation of capacity required or in the costing calculations.

This indicates the unit of measure for the capacity as defined against the work center (Work Centers).

This indicates the description for the units in the Maximum units field.

Indicate the work center rate applicable to this operation.

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.

This indicates the time required for the operation to move between work centers.

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.
