• These four screens are almost similar in use and appearance.

• Orders can be converted from ‘Exception’ to “Firm Planned” or “Confirmed”. • A person ‘Confirming’ orders in Fence 1 has access to confirming Fence 2 orders too on his/her screen (not vice versa) (since the Fence1 person may have a higher approval level).

• Confirmed orders can then be Transferred to Purchase Orders on Production Orders.

MRP

These screens are analogous to the MPS module screens.

Filling Production Orders

• To Manufacture products, we need ‘BOM’ (Bill Of Materials).

– Mix (Ingredients are directly added into packaging container) – Fill (pre-made Intermediate is added into packaging container) – Assembly (to pack Finished Goods, e.g., bottles in a case).

• Mix/Fill BOM’s require a ‘Formula’.

Formula 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

• • Formula is required for Finished Good and Intermediate assembly-type BOM’s.

Formula should also be created for hazardous intermediates of “Buy” type, for the purpose of MSDS compliance on reportable hazardous ingredients.

• The user may want to: – Replace a material in the selected formula(s) • With no added criteria, or • Only if another specific material is also present (e.g. in case of incompatibility).

– Do the substitution by weight or by volume of original material • If there is a change in Total Weight or Volume, the user may – Make no further adjustments, or – Match Original Formula Weight or Volume by • Adjusting quantities of specific material only, or • Resize all the new formula items proportionately.

Formula Utilities: Material Substitution …2 Useful to avoid incompatibilities, replace incompatible material with another suitable material Wt/Vol In case Wt or Vol needs to be adjusted to Original, Should the Entire Formula get resized, Or should a Specific Material get resized?

Costing Utilities: Formula Loss Adjustment

Recall that Loss Factor and Loss Constant (as defined in a Formula) may be overridden - in Batch Ticket (via Resize Batch button) - in Batch Close (via Quantity to Issue > Quantity Required) Hence, the Various batches produced may have led to losses that may differ from the losses defined in the formulas.

This utility calculates the actual losses and Rewrites the average Loss Factor as calculated for the respective Formulas.

MSDS: MSDS Schedule Generation - Introduction

There are two steps to be followed to print MSDS: Step-1: ‘MSDS Schedule Generation’: The items (on which MSDS are to be printed) are selected via various types of criteria.

Step-2: ‘Print MSDS’: Several schedules can be printed in ‘one shot’ according to the schedule.

MSDS: Schedule Generation …1 - Master Formula

Formula will be picked from Formula Entry depending on filter criteria.

Useful if many items are made from one formula. Then instead of printing MSDS for each item, we print MSDS for just the formula (e.g., Nitric Acid packaged in various-sized bottles).

Fill at least one criteria

MSDS: Schedule Generation …2 - Finished Good

To generate MSDS schedule of specific Finished Goods. Fill at least one criteria Formula StatusID from ‘Formula Status’ screen.

MSDS: Schedule Generation …3 - Raw Material

Used if MSDS needs to be printed for a Raw Material.

MSDS: Schedule Generation …4 - Production Formula

Recall that the various Formula Items can be modified/added/deleted in Batch Ticket Screen (Production Module). Thus

Quantity and Items may both vary

in the

Batch Ticket vs the Master Formula

.

The actual Production Formulas are used for the various batches.

Fill at least one criteria Formula StatusID from ‘Formula Status’ screen.

MSDS: Schedule Generation …5 - Production Finished Good

The same item may have been produced in various batches, and those batches may have had different Production Formulas vs Master Formula (Quantities and Items both may vary).

We can generate MSDS schedules specific for the various selected batches.

MSDS: Schedule Generation …6 - MSDS Customer History

MSDS Schedule is generated for the selected Items sold to Customers.

(via criteria of Vol%, Wt%, or Top n Ingredients; on Hazard Print Criteria Maintenance screen) Determine How to Present the Quantity (via Number, Range, Do Not List quantity; on Hazard Print Criteria Maintenance screen.)

MSDS: Print MSDS …3

• The various MSDS’s get generated as per selected Schedule ID’s.

• The MSDS’s are written into a MS Word file with a specified name, utilizing the specified template.

• The MS Word file may be saved, and printed when desired.

• The ‘logical’ printing date is the date when the MSDS is ‘created’, independent of if/when any hard-copy is made.

MSDS: Customer History - Introduction

BME can be used to maintain a history of when MSDS’s of specific items were sent to specific customers. This history needs to be updated when new MSDS’s are printed and sent to the customers.
