Production Schedule Items

This form displays all releases for the selected production schedule item. Use this form to add additional items to a production schedule or to schedule releases for an item.

When you open this form from the Production Schedules form (by selecting the Items/Releases button), it displays the production schedule and item you selected on the Production Schedules form.

When the status of a production schedule release is changed to Released, the Quantity WIP for the parent item is updated to reflect the additional quantity on the production schedule release. The system keeps this quantity up to date with changes on the production schedule release (for example, transactions that complete pieces, changes to the quantity released, etc.). The Quantity WIP should reflect the amount of any unfulfilled released production schedules for the item. This updated value, along with the Allocated to Prod value, provides a complete picture of potential item receipts from production.

This update occurs during any of the following:

• Add or update a production schedule release with a status of Released (all PS material's Alloc to Prod values and Quantity WIP values are updated)
• Add, update, or delete a PS material (takes into account all releases with a status of Released)
• Delete a PS operation (all PS material's Alloc to Prod and Quantity WIP values are updated)
• Generate production schedules with a status of Released on the Generate Production Schedules utility (all PS material's Alloc to Prod and Quantity WIP values are updated)
• Change a production schedule status from Planned to Released (all PS material's Alloc to Prod and Quantity WIP values are updated).
