This screen allows you to define the default values for the release code, manufacturing order status, and manufacturing trace fields on the sales order entry single line screen.  You may also specify the method of calculating costs for configured parts in the Product Costing module.

RELEASE CODE

Required.  Enter the release code for the generation of manufacturing orders for configured parts.

TRACE

Required.  Specifies if manufacturing rules are to be traced and listed on the Manufacturing Rules Trace Report (EC510A).  Valid values are:

Y - Trace rules

N - Do not trace rules.

MO STATUS

Required.  This is the status of the manufacturing orders created by the configurator.  The orders may be O (open) or F (firm).

BILL-OF-MATERIAL BASED COSTING

Required.  Valid values are yes or no.  For manufacturing configured parts, during conversion to Version 8.0, the value in this field defaults to the Cost Based on the Bill of Material Flag, which is found on the Part Master File.

ORDER DELETE

Optional.  This field is the default that will be used in sales order maintenance when you are maintaining a line that has associated manufacturing orders or requisitions created for it.  This field indicates that all firm, non-held manufacturing orders and uncovered requisitions should be deleted as a result of changes to the sales order line.

This field is used only when the part's manufacturing orders or requisitions will be generated by the Expert Configurator module.

COST HORIZON DATE

Required.  This is the date you wish to freeze your configured costs on the system.  This field is used by the Inventory Accounting Cost Generation Program (IA100E) when you choose option 10 - All New Configured Costs.  There are two ways a cost can be flagged as New:

1)  The cost is for a new part/configuration code combination.  It did not exist on the Configuration Code Master File (EC140M) before this.

2)  The cost is for an existing part/configuration code combination and was updated before the horizon date.

In either case the cost will be flagged as new.  All other cost will be flagged as existing.  Initially, you should set your horizon date for a few weeks in the future so you can stabilize your costs.  Once the costs are frozen, you should set it for a date in the past.

ASSIGN JOB

Required.  Set this flag to Y (yes) if you wish to assign a job number to all job controlled parts.  If the flag is yes, you will be take automatically to the Job Setup and Maintenance Select screen (JC100S01).  If the flag is N (no), there will be no change in processing.

 

DISPLAY OPTIONS

Required; default to 'N' (no).  Valid values are 'Y' (yes) or 'N'.  By setting this flag to 'Y', you will go through the configurator to view the options from the line you are copying into a new order.  If you set the flag to 'N', the options will be copied over to the new order without displaying the configuration screens.  The line will still be processed by the configurator.
