Lot Number Pattern for Manufacturing
Description: This config allows users to define the pattern for auto-generating lot numbers in Manufacturing Orders. For example, if you set the pattern as {MoNumber}-[yyMM], an order with MO# M1001201 will generate a lot number like 1001201-2404.
Setting: Enter the lot number pattern.
Enable Dynamic MO Feature
Description: This setting allows users to create Manufacturing Orders (MOs) from Sales Orders (SOs) without predefined Bills of Material. It uses a default BOM item specified in the app configuration "Default BOM item number for dynamic MO." When enabled, MOs are generated with the default BOM item and can be optionally released based on selected parameters. This feature enables the "Create Dynamic MO (Selected Lines)" option in the menu.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your preference.
Default BOM Item Number for Dynamic MO
Description: This configuration allows you to specify the BOM item number used to generate dynamic Manufacturing Orders (MOs).
Setting: Enter the item number exactly as it appears in your system.
Enable Auto Produce with Insufficient Inventory
Description: When enabled, this feature automatically creates and processes a Manufacturing Order for items flagged as "Auto producible" if inventory is insufficient during operations like Create Invoice and Create Wave.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your preference.
Auto Allocate Linked Sales Orders When MO is Produced
Description: When enabled, this feature automatically allocates sales orders linked to a Manufacturing Order (MO) when the MO is produced by generating pick waves. You can choose from the following allocation types: Do Not Wave, Full Order(s) Only (allocates only when the entire order is in stock), Full Qty Line(s) Only, or Allocate What's Available.
Setting: Select the option from the dropdown.
MO Linked Sales Orders Auto-Wave Notification
Description: If this setting is enabled, the system will notify the sales rep or customer or both (based on the selection) when the linked MO is produced and the sales order is automatically waved for picking.
Setting: Select an Option
Do Not Send
Customer
Sales Rep
Customer & Sales Rep
Production Offset Account
Description: This configuration allows you to select an account used as an offset for shrinkage or swell transactions in manufacturing orders when entering production offset quantities.
Setting: Select the account from the option dropdown.
Enable Force Sub MO(s) feature
Description: Enabling this option will display the "Force Sub MO" checkbox within the Manufacturing Orders module. When selected, this option ensures that sub/child manufacturing orders are created for manufacturable items, regardless of available inventory.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your preference.
Allow BOM Revisions with Empty Valid From/To Dates
Description: This configuration allows users to create Bill of Materials (BOM) revisions without specifying the "Valid From" and "Valid To" date ranges
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your preference.
MO Wave Allocation Based on Earliest Expiry
Description: When enabled, this setting automatically generates a Manufacturing Order (MO) linked to the Sales Order of the selected order type upon release. Inventory is allocated based on the lowest expiry date, prioritizing raw materials that are closest to expiration.
Setting: Select the order type for which you want to enable this option.
MO Wave Allocation Based on Earliest Average Expiry
Description: When this setting is enabled, upon the release of a Sales Order of the selected order type, Manufacturing Orders (MOs) are automatically generated. Inventory is then allocated based on the lowest average expiry date, which is the mean remaining shelf life of all units. This ensures that materials with the shortest average remaining life are prioritized over those with longer individual expiry dates
Setting: Select the order type for which you want to enable this option.
MO Wave Allocation Master BOM Expiry Cutoff days
Description: This setting enables automatic creation of Manufacturing Orders (MOs) once a Sales Order is released, based on the specified expiry cutoff. You can define the number of days before an item's expiry date within which it should be prioritized for consumption. For instance, setting a limit of "5" days ensures that items expiring within the next 5 days are prioritized. This configuration also impacts wave planning by ensuring that items with expiring master Bill of Materials (BOM) within the defined cutoff period are given priority.
Setting: Enter the cutoff days.
Enable Wave Template in Manufacturing Order
Description: When enabled, this setting allows the system to utilize wave templates for inventory allocation in Manufacturing Orders (MOs). The system will automatically apply the default wave template defined for the store, if available, to enhance the efficiency of inventory organization and prioritization.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your preference.
Disassemble Offset Account
Description: This configuration specifies the account used to balance out cost discrepancies that occur when disassembling finished goods (FG) into raw materials (RM). For instance, if 1 FG with an average cost of 100 is disassembled into 2 RMs with the total average cost of 110 (e.g., RM1 at 50 and RM2 at 60 average cost), the offset account will handle the 10-unit difference. This ensures that the cost of the raw materials accurately reflects the value of the disassembled finished goods, maintaining financial balance.
Setting: Select the offset account as per your preference.
Auto Release Manufacturing Order
Description: When enabled, this configuration automatically releases manufacturing orders for production upon creation, bypassing the need for manual release.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your reference.
Auto Round-Up Manufacturing Order Quantities
Description: Enabling this setting automatically rounds up the quantity of finished goods to the nearest whole number when creating manufacturing orders linked to sales or purchase orders. This adjustment ensures accurate production planning, efficient inventory management, and minimizes wastage by producing complete units.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your reference.
Prevent MO Processing if Linked Sales Order is Canceled
Description: When enabled, this configuration prevents any actions on Manufacturing Orders that are linked to a Sales Order which has been canceled. This ensures consistency in order management and prevents unnecessary production efforts on orders that are no longer valid.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your reference.
Use Raw Materials Lot and Batch Number for Finished Goods
Description: When enabled, this setting allows the system to automatically apply the lot and batch numbers from the raw materials to the finished goods if only one inventory item is involved in the manufacturing order. This is particularly useful when the raw material is the same as the finished product, but requires additional processing. If multiple inventory items are present as raw materials, users can manually allocate quantities to different lots per quanity.
Setting: Enable or disable this config as per your reference.
