Production Perspective:FAQs

Here are some questions answered which are going to be useful for us to understand the corner cases.

We are keeping simple rule for this. If any orders share same routing and same "Raw Material Allocation" document then those order can be combined for certain quantity. Maximum quantity we are allowing is 16. so lets consider an example.

As we can see here 5 work orders are combined from 4 Sales Orders. All these work orders are sharing same Raw material Allocation document as well as same routing so can be combined together with quantity 13(Not Exceeding 16).

You don't need to this manually. The Raw Material Allocation document will do that automatically on frappe ERPNext and will provide you these information.

Handling a large order manually is not easy, but with the help of CapPS it is going to be much easier. The first change will be the creation of a Material Request from the Sales Order.

As you can see here, a new button has been introduced for sales people: "Create Material Request." This button will split the material request based on trolley requirements and capacity, making it more convenient for the production plan. In this case, three material requests have been generated instead of a single material request.

As you can see, the sales order items here will be split into three material requests as shown below.

Here the material request has been split first by item and then according to the maximum quantity that can fit in one trolley.

So this problem has been solved while creating material request.

but .......

What if we want to split the work order due to some reason (like too long probe length)?

This question is answered by Raw Material Allocation where this is possible before submitting it. Look at the below table as you can see here we wish to split work order into 2 trolleys which is shown in row number 4.

Go to edit option provided on that row.Here you can see split Qty on top right field.

instead of 1 if you wish to split with 3 trolleys then enter 3 like below

upon exiting it will saved automaticallly and will look like below

Note: Always make habit to view Raw Material Allocation document at Draft stage (before Store creates trolley allocation) as it will be impossible to edit once the trolley allocation has been done.

Let's understand the scenario.

• Raw naterial Allocation is done and trolley has been transferred from stores to production. Now the point is trolley has some shortage of material which are neither in must have nor in shop floor warehouses.These raw materials may be not available at time of transfer (Material Transfer for Manufacture).

  Once the material has been received in stores then production supervisor can raise the request for remaining material.For these Raw material allocation document will help them out. One can ask store supervisor to transfer more material through button(Generate stock entries) for remaing material to be transferred.



Here you can see the button for creating stock entry. The good thing is it will check automatically which material is available and transfer accordingly.

• If shop floor raw material is required then material request for the same can be raised just like existing process.

• If must have items are required due to some issue like scrap or rejection then production supervisor can raise material request for the same with mentioning trolley name as target warehouse and mentioning which Work order needs more material.

Here is some standard options available as below:

Split the Order (If complete raw material is available for lesser qty)

If all must have items available but with lesser quantity then we can split work order just like previouly discussed and shift row so that later will be transferred to diffrent raw material Allocation when trolley allocation is clicked.

Wait for the Raw material and prioritize other orders.

This option is also good one. In raw material allocation table shift rows to last which has raw material shortage and keep those who has material available Shift rows. Do not Remove them so that they can be shifted in next Raw material allocation table automatically.

before



We wish to shift 4th row to last. like below



Raw Material Allocation has priority to allocate based on row number. least row number has highest priority.
