To distribute

Tab To distribute (also called distribution table) is a table, where you are able to create production items and assign them to production lines. To access this page it is needed to have respective permission assigned at least one of your user roles (permission name: Production Control → Creation And Distribution → Distribution Table).

There are several section in this page:

  1. Left section - which contains all production items in status created.

  2. Right section - box for all production lines which meets the following criteria:

    1. The production line has to be active.

    2. Logged user is connected to this production line.

    3. There is at least one production item with material that can be produced on this production line (production time has to be set and this connection has to be active).

    4. In case the production line is part of a long line chain, the last line from the chain will be visible here.

  3. Button image-20241020-180923.png to create a new production item.

  4. Button image-20241020-180945.png to manage page layout.

The list of all created production items can be filtered by all shown columns, it means by:

  • ID

  • Master order

  • Item number

  • Material

  • Material title

  • Quantity

  • Customer

  • Truck image

  • Shipping time

  • Outbound delivery

  • Scheduled finish time

  • Scheduled delivery time

  • Ideal finish time

  • Required start time

  • Required finish time

  • Handling unit template

  • Status

  • Created

  • Is Master order

  • Comment

  • Producible lines

  • Department

  • Material type


Creation of new production item

With the button image-20241020-180928.png you can create a new production item:

It the table below you will find all attributes which are possible to insert into this dialog together with its description.

#

Parameter name

Limitations

Possible values

Description

1

Material*

defined values

list of all materials in the system

Material, which I want to produce.

7

Quantity*

0 or positive number

number

Quantity, which I want to produce.

2

Outbound delivery

defined values

list of all Outbound Deliveries in the system (except the ones in status “Shipped” or “Deleted”).

  • In case this production item is linked with specific Outbound Delivery, it is possible to make this connection via choosing this Outbound Delivery from the list.

  • In case this production item is not linked with specific Outbound Delivery, we can leave empty.

3

Outbound delivery material

defined values

list of all Outbound Delivery materials related to selected Outbound Delivery

  • In case Outbound Delivery field is filled, this field becomes active and it is possible to specify to which Outbound Delivery Material (to which OD line) this production item should be assigned.

  • In case Outbound Delivery field is not filled, this field remains inactive.

4

Required finish time

timestamp

HH:MM:SS

DD/MM/YYYY

  • In case Outbound Delivery field is filled, this field is automatically populated by the value of Outbound Delivery attribute “Scheduled finish time” and it is no longer possible to modify it.

  • In case Outbound Delivery field is not filled, user can specify the value or leave empty.

6

Creation mode*

defined values

  • Single Item

  • By BOM

This parameter is driving the process of production item creation. For more information, please check the process page.

7

BOM selection

defined values

list of all BOMs available for selected material

  • In case of creation type is set up as “By BOM” this field is active (filled up with default BOM value) and it is possible to choose by which BOM it will be created (in case of alternative BOMs exist).

  • In case of creation type is set up as “Single Item” this field is hidden.

5

Link items

checkbox

on / off

This parameter is driving the process of production item creation. For more information, please check the process page.

8

Number of production items*

positive number

number

In case of need to create more than one production item, it is possible to change this value from default one to another number and so there will be more exactly same production items created.

BOM stands for bills of materials, which are used for products that require components, semi-finished, or raw materials for their production. By creating a BOM, the system automatically generates all necessary production items based on the requirements, streamlining the production process and ensuring all necessary components are available for manufacturing

The button image-20241020-180953.png opens the Layout for this data table.

To improve visibility and prioritize materials, you have the option to use color-coding in the parameter settings. This allows you to easily identify materials that require special attention or have a higher priority in the production process, streamlining workflow and ensuring efficient use of resources.

The dot on the screen indicates the items from the bill of materials needed to make the product, along with the required quantity. The color of the dot represents the current status of the pieces in stock, providing a visual cue on their availability and ensuring that the production process can proceed smoothly:

  1. Red = there are not enough pieces in stock

  2. Blue = there are enough pieces in stock

If you select with checkbox a specific item/s, you are able to:

  1. Delete

  2. Move to Redbox

  3. Mass auto assigment

  4. Distribute them manually

The production lines on which the material can be produced will be shown on the right.


Assignment to Production Line

The main purpose of the Distribution table is to assign Production Items to the Production Lines. This process can be done in several ways:

  • Manual assignment

  • Mass assignment

  • Auto assignment

Manual assignment

It is possible to Drag&Drop Production Item (or multiple items by selecting them with checkboxes) to the specific Production lines. During this process only relevant Production Lines are displayed and therefore is ensured, that Production Item can be assigned only to the right lines.

Mass assignment

By selecting Production Items with checkboxes, the blue button “Mass auto assignment” appears on the upper bar.

By clicking on this button, the selected Production Items are automatically assigned to their default Production Lines and confirmation dialog is displayed.


Assignment dialog

During assigning process, the assigning dialog can appear. The design and possibilities of the assign dialog are based on these rules:

This type of assign dialog is the most complex one and contains the preview of the production queue.

  1. Production plan of this Production Line

  2. Special equipment

  3. Specific operator


Standard Simple assign dialog

If the Simple assign dialog is activated in application settings, only confirmation about assigning process is displayed in the dialog.

Full Mass auto assign dialog

This dialog display selected Production Items and their automatically selected Production lines.

  1. Production Item

  2. Automatically selected Production Line

  3. Required production start

  4. Required production finish

  5. Status of the assignment

  6. Confirming button

Mass auto assign dialog

This dialog display selected Production Items and their automatically selected Production lines. For Production lines that has calendar or hybrid planning mode is possible to manualy select/edit required start and finish time.
