Capacity Planning

Capacity planning involves determining whether to accept new orders based on existing work orders and available resources.

  1. Disable Capacity Planning: If checked, capacity planning will not be conducted. Enabling it helps decide on new orders considering resources and existing work orders.
  2. Allow Overtime: Enabling this option allows the creation of work orders and job cards beyond workstation working hours.
  3. Allow Production on Holidays: If enabled, production activities are allowed on designated holidays as per the organization's Holiday List.
  4. Capacity Planning For (Days): Specifies how many days in advance capacity planning activities initiate for production.
  5. Example: If set to 7 days, the system plans production activities for the next 7 days.
  6. Time Between Operations (Mins): Defines the time span between two operations in minutes.
  7. Example: If set to 30 minutes, there should be a 30-minute gap between consecutive operations.
  8. Over Production Allowance Percentage: Permits exceeding the quantity in the Sales Order when creating Work Orders. Useful for scenarios where overproduction is allowed.
  9. Example: If set to 10%, and a Sales Order specifies 100 units, a Work Order can be created for 110 units.
  10. Default Work In Progress Warehouse: Auto-updates the 'Work In Progress' Warehouse field in Work Orders.
  11. Example: If set to 'WIP Warehouse,' newly created Work Orders will have this warehouse assigned by default.
  12. Default Finished Goods Warehouse: Auto-updates the 'Target Warehouse' field in Work Orders.
  13. Example: If set to 'Finished Goods Warehouse,' newly created Work Orders will have this warehouse assigned by default.
  14. Allow Continuous Material Consumption: Enables material consumption without immediate manufacturing of finished goods in a single Work Order. Useful for time-consuming manufacturing.
  15. Example: If enabled, raw materials can be consumed daily without creating a Work Order for each consumption.
  16. Backflush raw materials based on: Choose the method for backflushing raw materials: 1. Material Transferred for Manufacture 2. BOM
  17. Example: If set to 'Material Transferred for Manufacture,' backflushing occurs based on materials transferred for manufacturing.
  18. Add Corrective Operation Cost in Finished Good Valuation: If enabled, includes the cost of corrective operation types in finished goods valuation.
  19. Example: If a corrective operation costs $50, it will be added to the valuation of finished goods.
  20. Update BOM Cost Automatically: Automatically updates BOM cost based on Valuation Rate / Price List Rate / last purchase rate of raw materials if ticked.
  21. Example: If a raw material's cost changes, the BOM cost is automatically updated accordingly.
  22. Allow Excess Material Transfer: Enables the Material Transfer button, allowing transfer of raw materials even after fulfilling requirements against a Job Card.
  23. Example: If raw materials are damaged, additional materials can be transferred to meet production goals.
  24. Make Serial No/Batch from Work Order: If checked, the system automatically generates serial numbers/batches for finished goods upon Work Order submission.
  25. Example: If enabled, serial numbers or batches are created for finished goods as soon as the Work Order is submitted.
