  • Planning production orders setup for several production orders running in multi shifts

    With advanced multi-functional work center machine in production companies, you get more and more the following scenario to cover the work center planning. Example: Work center runs in 3 shifts. Shift 1 and 2 are under control by production people. 3 shift in the night is a ghost shift. This means the work center runs automatic without supervising by production people. Production worker is preparing (setup) the work center with Tools, prgramming code etc. for several planned productions orders. After setup is done, the work center is processing automatically the production orders in the planned shifts (in this case 3 shifts are planned). The following scenarios mus be considered: - Setup for the work center takes longer then one shift. - Planned and prepared production orders could take longer then the 3 shifts of the day. - Work center can produce the parts not only in sequnce of the production order, means production oder 1 gets produced first and then prodction order 2 etc., they even can do this in mix mode like part 1 of production order 1 gets produced and then follows part 2 or prodcution order 2 etc.. Both have an impact of planning the next Operation.

  • net price logic in trade agreement

    In the retail business we have always the requirement that for a certain time, like a promotion, an item can be sold by a "net price" an no other existing discounts should be included. At the moment we have to create additional discount journals for this item which makes certain that we get no discounts (line, multiline and total). We always have to program this function that it works in this way in the sale order line. As soon the price is flaged as net price then all other discounts are set to zero. If we look a little further then we had also the requirement that you could select not only a sales price in the agremement as "net price", you could als select if one of the other discounts should be still active in the calculation. Example: item has a "net price" flaged in the trade agreement and we still want to apply the total discount. In this case in the sales price of the trade agreement the total discount flag was selected (so 3 additional flags for each discount type). In the sales order line the net price got taken and the total discount only. Of course this is a little bit a contradiction to the flag "net price" but we had this by a customer.
  • Inbound process - cluster put away

    We have a nice feature for cluster picking in outbound process but nothing efficient in the inbound (material receiving) process. Currently you have to do the following process. - Receive material to a cluster profile by scanner - Assign material to putaway cluster by scanner - Run putway cluster by scanner to bring the material to the location The receving step should be combined with the assign to cluster step. Normally the worker receives the material and puts it on the trolley in one action and not two. The step assign material to putaway cluster doesn't support position scanning on the trolley. You just scan the cluster and that's it. But you don't know on which position on the trolley the material is put. This information is needed afterwards in the putaway cluster process.
  • Create from a sales quotation a sales agreement

    Create from a sales quotation a sales agreement. Or allow in sales agreement to copy the lines from a quotation.
  • Bundle should also work in the project process

    The bundle functionality is not available in project module of finance & operation as it's in sales order process. When I transfer from the work break down structure such a bundle product into an item requriement nothing happens. Of course it can't because in the regular SO process this happens with the SO confirmation. However why is the bundle functionalty not available in the project process? At least the explosion of the bundle would be easy to cover when the item requirement gets created. The picking would be the same as in the regular SO process. Just the invoicing part is tricky because we have a project invoice in place.


    So the idea is, to implement the bundle functionallity in the project process as well?
