Production Management Cockpit

Produmex Manufacturing is a legacy product and Boyum IT Solutions no longer sells new installations for it.

Use the Production Management Cockpit to overview and manage the production orders. The listed production orders can be filtered and more than one production orders can be changed in one step.
Open the cockpit via:

• Production > Production Management Cockpit
• Job Scheduling Control Panel > Feed to Management Cockpit.

The list of the production orders can be filtered with the following criteria:

• Status: When no checkbox is ticked, production orders will not be filtered based on the status. When at least one status checkbox is ticked, only the production orders with the selected status(es) will be loaded to the form.
• Production Order From – To: Only the selected production orders will be loaded.
• MTO Scenario: Only production orders belonging to the selected MTO scenario will be loaded.
• Errors only (Y/N): Only production orders with ‘Error’ type ‘Allocation State’ will be loaded.
• To filter to a period only, select the Date type and then set the period with the Date From and Date To fields. Possible values for the Date Type are: ‘All Dates’, ‘Release Date’, ‘Due Date’, ‘Begin Date’, and ‘Order Date’.
• Sales Order From- To: Only production orders linked to the selected sales order(s) will be loaded.
• Start Date: Only production orders with the added start date will be loaded.

• MTO Scenario: Only production orders belonging to the given MTO scenario will be listed.

• Ignore Due Date: If this setting is enabled, and the user clicks on the ‘Move Latest’ button, the production order due date is ignored when the system reschedules the MTO scenario.

Other user defined fields can be added as filters. Add the UDF name to the ‘Cockpit UDFs for filtering’ field on the Prod.Order tab of the Produmex Manufacturing settings.

Loaded production orders are sorted based on the ’Sort by’ setting. Possible values:

Press the ‘Load’ button to load the production orders with the applied filter(s).
