FUNDAMENTALS AND DEVELOPMENT BASIC CORE DATA

Product confIgurator for engIneer-to-order ManufacturIng

Engineer-to-order (ETO) means building a unique complex product every time. ETO manufacturers frequently produce only customer specific products and these products may require unique heavy engineering or design contents. The major point is the uncertainty of product in early engineering phase because of the low level of specification. Therefore, ETO manufacturing involves collaboration with customers in order to meet their requirements from the beginning of product life cycle. Moreover, huge variety of parts must be managed in most of ETO manufacturers. There may be long lead times and numerous customized configurations. As a consequence, unlikely traditional product-based manufacturing, ETO can be regarded as the mode of project-based manufacturing.

Data structures of conventional production planning techniques are not available in ETO processes. Those techniques require pre-definitions such kind of bill of materials (BOM) and routes (ROU) however in early stage of ETO, there is not enough information about product. Once engineering phase is completed, the real BOM and ROU can be defined. During information acquisition, mostly salesperson tries to get more details about product specification. While doing this, each specific data from customer must be captu-red well in order to share with engineering department but this is not shaping the BOM and ROU in a direct way. Actually, the aim of salesperson is not creating a new product design, the aim is to propose a set of configuration to the customer.

Product configurator is a tool that is responsible for guiding users through the configuration process when many different variations exist. It enables mass customization which deeply depends on various customer needs. As an important tool, it is widely used in industries such as accessories, apparel, automobile, food, industrial goods. In fact, the main challenge is to have ability to satisfy users while identifying their own configuration with minimum complexity. Also, it is strongly believed that an accurate cost estima-tion leads to a reasonable offer to the customer. Unfortunately, the uncertainty in ETO manufacturing does not let to estimate cost quickly. Using a product configurator makes both management of huge variety of parts easier and enables flexible cost estimation within highly customized configuration requirements.

MultI level BoM and route ManageMent In Product confIgurator

Semi products can be managed via a new configuration item type. Both BOM and route of the semi product can be created, explo-ded and managed via Product Configurator.

auto-fIlled text attrIBute

There may be an attribute which cannot have all exact options as pre-defined. It could be changeable text values according to some values. While selecting the variant options, it is available to new Text Attribute type that can be auto-filled by Pre-defined Variables like some auto-increased number ranges.

oPtIonal category for class systeM

There are some Class Types for Class System like Material, Asset, Customer/Vendor, Personal and Maintenance Check List. The new other category 'Other' has added in order to select any column needed.

Bast40 rePort tool usage

BAST40 is a pre-defined report transaction to create custom reports for Customer, Consultants and Developers. You can add several reports on BAST40 and give permissons to user(s) to use it.

8

This Chapter tells how to create a report data on IASBAS097 and how to use the report in BAST40 report tool. The document has 2parts. Part 1 is about IASBAS097 check table of BAST40 that defines the details of report, and Part 2 is about running report on BAST40.

example: We need a report to see the warehouses of the system, stock places of a warehouse, and material stocks of a warehouse.

iasBas097 check table

We have to create a new report for this example on IASBAS007 check table. For doing this, we will define search criteria table (user can see the warehouses based on search criteria), warehouse table initialize code, search button code, and additional processes' codes (to see stock places of selected warehouse and material stocks of selected warehouse).

Press New Button for create a new report.

By pressing New Button, BAST01DR02 dialog is opened. We have to fill Module and Item Number fields (Must filled values). We can fill Print Report field if we have a layout for the report. We have to tick Active checkbox to see the report in BAST40.

If we fill the help data, user will see help text of the report by pressing question mark button on BAST40.

We have to write some codes for creating search criteria table, setting the search criteria columns' labels and zooms, etc. into Search Criteria Code. For our example, we defined a search criteria table named DENEME, appended 3 columns (company, plant, warehouse), set the columns' labels, and set company column's zoom, plant column's zoom. We can use Show Template button to see a basic template for search criteria code.

Search criteria code runs when user selects a report from report combobox in BAST40.

9

We have to write some codes for initializing data tables (BAST40 has two data tables). If we use just one data table, we will initialize just first data table on BAST40. If we use two data tables, we will initialize first data table and second data table. We can use Show Template button to see a basic template for initialize code. For our example, we initialized IASBAS039 table (select with where 1=2) and we set it as first data table (with THIS.SETTABLE1 method).

Initialize code runs when user selects a report from combobox in BAST40.

We have to write some codes for listing based on search criteria. We can use Show Template button to see a basic template for search code. For our example, we selected warehouses from IASBAS039 check table based on search criteria tables' company, plant and warehouse values. And we set search results as first data table.

Search code runs when user presses Search button in BAST40.

We have to define some additional processes for showing stock places of the selected warehouse and material stocks of the selec-ted warehouse. For doing this, we need 2 processes. When we define them, the processes will appear on BAST40 additional proces-ses checkbox, user can select a process and run it. For our example, we created 2 process by pressing insert button on keyboard. And we wrote their codes on detail dialog by pressing change button.

On detail dialog of additional process, in code tab, we wrote a select for listing stockplaces of the selected warehouse and set lists as second data table (via THIS.SETTABLE2 method) on BAST40.

10

In description tab, we can write description of the processes based on language. When we write description, user will see it as a label on additional processes checkbox on BAST40. For our example, we wrote 'Show Stock places' as description in language English.

We can write cell change code for using first data table's cell change behaviour on BAST40. For our example, we don't need to write anything to use cell change behaviour.

In Descriptions tab, we have to write description of the report based on language. When we write the description, user will see it as a label of report checkbox, on top of BAST40. For our example, we wrote 'EXAMPLE REPORT' as description in language English.

In User Rights tab, we have to define which users can access the report on BAST40. If we define * (star) as user right, it means all users can access the report. And if we define a username specifically in each row, it means only these users can access the report. For our example, we used *, because we want all users can access it.

After all definitions are done, we pressed the save button and report were created. Next step is how to use this report on BAST40.

Bast40 report tool

In IASBAS097 check table, we defined some reports, and now, we can use them on BAST40. When we open BAST40 transaction, first thing to do is selecting module for showing reports that we have right to access, on report checkbox.

We can select a specific module to just see the module's reports, or select * to see all modules' reports.

11

When we press Question Mark button, we can see help text –we wrote it in IASBAS097 Help tab- of the report.

Help text appears as attention on report checkbox.

BAS / 1 – EXAMPLE REPORT is our report that we define as example. We defined criteria table with 3 columns (company, plant, and warehouse). We can fill our search criteria for searching.

After selecting company field as 02, and pressing search button, search codes that we defined in IASBAS097 Search tab, run. Now, we can see 02 company's warehouses in first data table.

12

We defined 2 additional processes -Show Stock places, Show Material Stocks-, now we can see these processes in additional proc-ess checkbox.

When we select 'Show Stock places' option from the checkbox, select a warehouse from first data table, and press OK button (the button near the additional process checkbox), stock places of the selected warehouse appeared in second data table. OK button triggered the codes in IASBAS097 additional processes.

Also, when we select 'Show Stocks' option from the checkbox, select a warehouse from first data table, and press OK button, mate-rial stocks of the selected warehouse appeared in second data table.

FUNDAMENTALS AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

fIeld HIstory trackIng

Field History Tracking application allows you to track changes made in the table fields by recording the prior value, the user, and the date/time of the change and deletion. Field History Configuration and Field History Logs transactions are part of the application.

syst24: Field history configuration

The configuration of history tracking table's fields to be made by using SYST24 - Field History Configuration transaction. There are two action type in the history tracking system; delete and update records. The fields must be configured separately for each action.

Runner checks each update and delete operations and saves required data according to field history configuration.

syst25: Field history logs

All the changes or deletion made to related table are displayed in SYST25 – Field History Logs transaction. The history of the desired records list are displayed by entering the required search criteria on the transaction. The list includes; transaction, table name, column name, action type, old value, new value created by, created date and keys info of record.

14

In addition, the necessary definitions for field history tracking system have been made in most of the dialogs. So users can reach historical records on which they work by using field history extension.

FUNDAMENTALS AND DEVELOPMENT TROIA DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

custoMer deMands ManageMent

Collection of customer demand and to be associated with the project management module is very important for project manage-ment. Some new developments have been made for collecting customer demands on the customer side and transferring these demands to our productive system.

iasBas064: customer demands parameters check table

It is easy to define customer demands parameters with this check table. Synchronizing Hotline records and sending customer demands to our productive system, applications looks at the parameters. Project Name registered in our productive system, sender and receiver mail addresses and how many days in advance to start synchronization fields must be filled for transferring customer demands to our productive system from customer system.

devt12: customer demands management

It is an transaction that enables the collection and management of customer demands on customer side. DEVT06 Hotline Manage-ment transaction's infrastructure is used. This application can be considered a simplified form of DEVT06 Hotline Management transaction.

Users could save their demands by using the transaction on their code / productive database. Customer demand records on two databases are synchronized with 'Synchronization Hotline' function of DEVT17 – Customer Demand Logs transaction (manually / automatically). Customer demands approved by the project manager of customer could be sent to our productive system by with 'Send Customer Demands' function of the same transaction.

16

devt17: customer demands logs

The transaction must be worked on productive system. 'Days before' parameter is taken from IASBAS064 check table when dialog is loading. However the value may be entered manually.

There are three main functions of this application;

� Hotline Synchronization: hotline records of development database and productive database synchronized to each other. Only hotline header data (IASHOTLINE table records) of development database transferred to productive database. Hotline header and detail data (ODBA, check tables, messages and transactions) of productive database transferred to development database. It is not required for Code Source Database. In addition hotline synchronization can be done by using the related extension.

� Sending Customer Demand: system compares to changedat value of demand with 'Days before' parameters (current date – days before). If it is approved demand and changedat value of it equal / bigger than calculated date, the demands data is sent to our productive system via mail. Mail subject of the mails must be CUSTOMERDEMANDS. It was written hardcode in SENDHOTLINE function of DEV06 class. Incoming e-mails are checked in the productive system via EDI operation. And it performs two operations according to data (XML) from incoming mail;

– Adding new hotline records or updating existing hotline records to the productive system

– Adding new to-do list records or updating status of existing to-do list records to the productive system

� Listing Log: realization date and status of operations (sending customer demands and synchronizing hotline) are listed.

devt18: dynaMIc Hotkey defInIng

This transaction provides that the users can define Hotkeys on any dialog. It works on only dialog based and for now you can just define with the F keys (F1, F2, F3 ...). You can define more than one hotkey on a dialog and more than one action on a hotkey.

In the detail dialog, there is a runcode field that you can write in it any code to run with your hotkey.Also there are 4 options that you can set, and also you can set that options for any users in Users tab.User based options always override the main options.

17

� default: If there is more than one action in one hotkey and hotkeys do not have Autorun action, a Hotkey Menu is appeared. If the Default is checked, when the menu is appeared, Default one is come with selected.

� autorun: If the autorun is checked, you do not need to select any action on Hotkey Menu. The one which has autorun runs automatically.

� disabled: You can disable a hotkey via this option.

� public: If Public is checked that means every user can use this hotkey.

PRODUCT DESIGNSTANDART COST CALCULATION

WIzard for InstallatIonIn some cases, Calculation Module check table definitions may be quite confusing. In order to simplify the CAL definition process, there is a new Wizard Application which is Calculation Installation. With using that, it is available to build a new Calculation Process including all features like creating new Schema, Calculation Type and Account Assignments.

scHeMa varIaBles In calculatIon forMula

Calculation schema can have rows which includes mathematical expressions such as addition/subtraction and multiplication/divi-sion. In those expressions, user can enter only fixed values and schema row id for calculation. However, if these values are changea-ble depends on different conditions, it is required to define a new calculation schema for each condition. Schema variables are used to determine the values in mathematical expressions of schema rows. Definition of schema variable rules assures that calculation is able to be run depends on the specific conditions, instead of defining new calculation schema.

autoMatIc versIon nuMBer

Calculation Records have a unique number for tracking them called as Version Number. It used to be entered manually but for now, it is available to set Automatic Version Number from Calculation Type details. It will get a new unique version number from a number range while each running new calculation.

cost ProPortIon

Each calculation items (Operation and Material) have a proportion of total cost. Some of operations can be performed and some of materials can be procured from different countries. It is available to track operations and materials proportion according to related which country. Also available to find main product’s origin according to these proportions.

Also users might reach the information such as delivery performance, On Time Del. Qty. Rate, Overdue Qty. Rate, and Open Qty. Rate on related columns. The delivery performance is calculated by considering time and quantity criteria.

sale PrIce calculatIng accordIng to attrIButes WHIcH effected PrIce

The material variant selection as well as just affecting the price variant attributes selection has been provided with new develop-ments on used for the variant selection buttons of "BAST03-sale tab-price according to options" table and SALT02. Thus "affecting the price" for the variant part of the unit price or pricing policies can be defined.

23

Handling and Behaviour: If "BAST03-sale tab-price according to options" (IASMATVARPRICE) table records associated with the mate-rial variant is found:

� SALT02 pricing policy of the material with variant is applied.

� If pricing policy of the material with variant is not found, pricing policy of the material with "affecting the price" variant is ap-plied. Else if pricing policy of the material with "affecting the price" variant is not found, pricing policy of the material without variant is applied.

� If pricing policy of the material without variant is not found and if table records associated with the material variant is found; material variant price of sales on "BAST03-sale tab-price according to options" table is applied else: material packaging price of sales on material master card (IASMATFMS) is applied.

� As an additional feature; users might define pricing for each option on variant attributes which have "Effect on Price" - field is active by using 'Percentage/Absolute', 'Price', 'Currency' and 'Calculated orc./Base' columns. If there is any definition of this feature, will be taken in account according to settings.

If material has min-max order-level on sales-tab at BAST03:

� When order document is created without reference, min-max-order-level information of item will be filled as unchangeable by material-card.

� When quantity-contract-order is created, min-max-order-level information of item will be filled as changeable by materialcard.

� When order document is created by reference from quantity-contract-order, min-max-order-level information of item will be filled as unchangeable by reference-document. Item quantity is defined by max-lot information.

Iassal015: sale docuMents autHorIzatIon

26

� 1st check box; allows to define the record whether to be a profile or a user (Is Profile 0: user, 1: profile)

� 2nd field; this is the field where we define it is a unique profile-name for the profile-type-records or as a user-name for the user-type-records.

� 3rd field; is used to define authorization restrictions such as "New, Change, Show, Delete, Print, Mail" for user-type-records or profile-type-records.

� If record type is as user, 4th field will be visible (if the field "Is profile?" is '0'). This field might be used to choose a profile-type-record which is defined with some restrictions.

"A user who has these restrictions directly or has a profile with these restrictions, can't perform the above-mentioned operations"

We decide whether aforementioned restrictions will be active or not by using the "Is the User Authority Control Active?" checkbox at IASSAL001 check table, in the concerned document. (If this check box is active, aforementioned restrictions will be able to apply in system's processes)

sale IteMs related to dynaMIc cost calculatIon

27

� 1st table, in the sale items, it allows the cost price field, used for calculation of the amount of profit / loss, to be dynamically determined and organized. Up to three "default" cost areas can be selected. Price fields, selected as "Default", on the main screens in the sales documents are indicated as profit / loss amounts and rates. Calculations of profit / loss for all the price areas that have been added to the table are accessible in items details.

� Control box 2; it is used to realize automated verification of cost calculation and to update the price field in the material card, in case the amount of sales of the material item or unit changes. These process is performed considering features and dia-grams indicated in material-card -> Finance-tab -> Calculation-type.

� That the control box "Is the User Authorization Control active?" is activated, ensures the identification which will be made for the user to see the cost calculations in IASSAL015.

� That the control box "Is Cost Calculation done?" is activated, ensures the realizations of calculation of cost and profit/loss, based on the type of document.

� That the control box "Show Cos. Cal. Fields?" is activated, ensures browsing the calculation of cost and profit/loss, based on the type of document.

28

� In the SALT01, after completion of the cost calculations based on the document and item and all the regulations described above, adding materials to the document starts. Changes in quantity, unit price, discount and so on. That can be made in item, induce the update of cost, profit / loss calculations.

� In material card, the values indicated in the price fields, determined as "default" in the table of "Cost Calculation Price Fields", are shown in the main screen.

� On the material card, values in the all price fields defined in the table "Cost Calculation Price Fields" are available on the tab "Cost Calculations" on the details screen.

� 1st combo-box; allows us to define the condition-record-type as to be a "Customer" or a "Material" (0: "Customer", 1: "Mate-rial"). "Customer/Material" type defined conditions represent the conditions which need to be fulfilled as to perform needed customer/material changes, during the creation of order file by the reference of "Value-Agreement".

� 2nd table of conditions; this table is the one we use to create the required conditions of reference document (Value Agreement considered as "From" document) as to perform customer changes during the creation of "Order" document by the reference of "Value Agreement". Code in the field 3 is the code-block-demonstration of the table "From - Doc. Conditions".

For messages that have an importance-level setting, recipients see a visual indicator in their Inbox.

IMaP (Internet Message access)

Canias provides users to use IMAP (Internet Message Access).

47

IMAP is a standart email protocol that stores messages on a mail server, but allows the end user to view and manipulate the messages as though they were stored locally on the end user's computing device(s). This allows users to organize messages into folders,have multiple client applications know which messages have been read-unread, delete and save draft messages on the server.

In order to provide this kind of flexibility and functionality, though, messages must be synchronized between the local machine and the email server.

message synchronisation

Whenever CLB starts, it checks the state of synchronization between the CLB message repository and the email server, and then performs any transfers that are necessary :

� Download new email

� Sent email

� Delete email

� Move email

� Email Flag (Read / Unread)

Folder synchronisation

Whenever CLB starts, it checks the state of synchronization between the CLB folders and the email server, and then performs any transfers that are necessary ;

� Create new folder

� Re-Name folder

� Delete Folder

Also, user can create non-synchronize folder,this folders and messages which are under folders are still accessible within CLB. These folders and message are used like POP3.

It is the first step of valuation of material and pricing considered valuation, in CANIAS ERP. Processes which are before pricing con-trol, after pricing control, and material valuation for selected material(s) between two dates, can be efficiently managed in INVT10.

Control before pricing; the helpful process which user can decide to use or not. The process can be defined as a checklist that prevents the incidental problems can appear in valuation. Checklist consists standard -system defined- controls and can expand with user defined controls. Material Valuation starts when all controls in checklist were confirmed. All controls give some clues about incidental problems. Problems can be shown in the same screen with the controls, and also many times, the problems can be fixed in the same screen.

MATERIAL MANAGEMENTMATERIAL REQUIREMENT PLANNING

alternatIve MaterIal usage

Alternative Material Usage is a new concept that allows for using one material to satisfy the requirements of another. The alterna-tive definition can be made in the material master. More than one alternative can also be defined for a single material, along with a quantity factor for each alternative, allowing users to deal with changing quantities due to properties of materials.

When considering alternative materials, MRP considers the stock quantities of each alternative on the given requirement date, allow-ing for future oriented planning.

Once assigned by MRP, the alternative material usages can be confirmed by the user on MRPT17. This step can also be skipped with the parameter "Assign Alternative Material Usage Automatically During MRP Run" on IASMRP014.

Currently MRP only considers alternative materials for secondary requirements, provided materials (purchase orders and requisi-tions) and production order reservations. However in order for production orders and purchase orders to be considered, the param-eter "Use alternative material assignment for real materials" on IASMRP014 must be checked.

It is also currently not possible to use multiple alternatives to satisfy a single requirement.

oPtIonal Plan/requIsItIon MergIng

The previously default behaviour of MRP that is merging requirements that are on the same time bucket (day, week, month or custom period) has been made optional. Users can elect to create plans/requisitions separately for each requirement. The control parameter for this exists on IASMRP014, "Merge Plans & Requisitions on the Same Time Bucket".

oPtIonal releasIng ParaMeters for Plans/requIsItIons

The previously default behaviour of MRP that is automatically releasing plans that have been scheduled forward has been expanded and made optional. Users can elect to automatically release all created documents, never release them, or keep the default MRP behaviour. The control parameter for this exists on IASMRP015, "Releasing of Plans" and "Releasing of Requisitions".

70

safety stock/re-order level In dIfferent sPecIal stocks

Safety stock and re-order level can now be used separately on special stock keys that have been marked as "Separate MRP Sec-tion". The control parameter for this exists on IASINV009, "Consider Safety Stock".

PerIodIcal entrIes In tHe near future

Previously we had control of daily, weekly and monthly entries in the near future on IASMRP002. A custom period number can now be defined here as well, allowing users with custom time buckets to use this feature.

usIng lot-sIzIng and lot-oPtIMIzatIon togetHer

Previously, lot optimization methods (Part Period Balancing, Least Unit Cost and Least Total Cost) were part of lot sizing methods in IASMRP010. Now they can be selected separately, allowing users to use a linear lot sizing method (such as fixed lot sizing) along with a lot optimization method.

dIfferent nuMBer ranges Per ProductIon Plan tyPes

The number range for production plans has been made user-definable. Each production plan type can have a different number range, defined on IASMRP013.

MrPt18: suPPly-deMand MatcHIng transactIon

The new transaction MRPT18 allows users to run this process without running the actual MRP (thus creating new plans/requisitions), allowing users who run MRP on fixed times (weekly, monthly etc.) to refresh their Supply-Demand Matching situations any time they want.

MrPt05: MultIPle MrP

The previously default MRPT05 only allowed Run MRP for one material. Currently, with the newly added tab which name is "Multiple MRP", it allows Run MRP more then one material which are inserted in the table. After MRP run process, MRP Status check box will be marked if not faced with any problem.

Also it is prepared a substructure for using of this property by other transactions with Call Transaction modality. For example, from now, it is possible to rerun MRP for materials which have error type notifications, while using MRPT07.

71

MrP faIlures / notIfIcatIons trackIng (MrPt07)

MRP Run Logs tracking is possible on MRPT07 with additional criteria. "MRP Level", "Notifications" text areas and "Notification Type" combo box are able to separate out on MRP results. In this way, finding significant errors is easier then compared to the past.

Furthermore, user can rerun MRP for selected materials on the same table easily with 'Run MRP' button and this button linked with MRPT05 - Multi MRP.

In addition, Message numbers were added at the end of the message text on MRPT05 to facilitate tracking MRP notifications.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENTPRODUCTION PLANNING AND CONTROL

external oPeratIons

Subcontracting can be explained as the actual manufacturer's making entire or some part of production according the agreement by another company. Because of it will have same specifications with the actual manufacturer's own product, the raw materials and other needs can be provided to the outsource company by actual manufacturer for the resulting product which will be occurred at the end of external process.

Using of External Operations provide accomplish some order congestion if the production capacity is not enough. Also the actual manufacturer may not prefer leading some processes on their company.

Subcontracting has some disadvantages in addition to advantages. Firstly, to provide materials to the company which will make the external operation as needed. Also tracking the vendor's inventory information should be done by real manufacturer. Consequently, tracking final external products are really important too which are produced by subcontractor at the end of external operation. This situation should be managed how many materials are on vendor side or how many of them have been sent.

Because of these constraints, the new External Operation Management concept has been developed. The new concept is using Purchase Order background like purchasing a provided material.It has two options according to decision-making stage.

� unplanned external operationIf the real manufacturer is not using external operations regularly while producing a material, this external operation model will be more useful. The requirement appear when the Production Order is going on because of the machines capacity or company resources may be insufficient. External product which will be produced by vendor and provided parts which will be sent to ven-dor are determined on the Production Order Side.

� planned external operationIf the real manufacturer is using external operations regularly while producing a material, this external operation model will be more useful. External product which will be produced by vendor and provided parts which will be sent to vendor are deter-mined on the Bill of Material and Route side.

The continuous steps are related to create a new Purchase Order. All transfer movements (to Vendor, from Vendor) can be traced over it.

coMBIned oPeratIons

For different products which have same route or production plans, in case the production dates overlap for the time interval set by the company, it is possible to open a single production order and monitor it with creating a Combined Production Order in CANIAS ERP. According to certain criterion, system combines similar operations so it is possible to track or to confirm with only one operation instead all of them. However the combining process is controlling by only system so, users can not select which operations should be performed together.

Some production factories have similar operations while producing completely different or similar products. The furnace or the washing process could be performed for several products at the same time for saving production time. Also the colour process is must be tracked whether suit clothes are same shade or not. To avoid complication, colour process should be in same process in order to gain clothes from same colour.

Because of these requirements, there is a demand for a new application. In this application it is possible to group at least two opera-tions from different production orders which will be performed on same work center and to confirm them together.

consIder seMI levels quantIty WHen confIrM a collectIve order

When opening a Collective Order, there is already a feature for semi levels quantity which will be exploded. It was available to check quantities while creating order but this situation may cause some unexpected results like missing stocks. Until the production order confirmation, some semi level products may be issued from stock by other production orders.

Because of that, it is available to check semi levels stock quantity while giving confirmation for semi level in the production order. If there is enough quantity in the stock, it does not have to produce it or otherwise it gives as much as required quantity.

BackWard scHedulIng

Especially in project type production, planner need to set a deadline and want to schedule production order in backward direction. The backward scheduling algorithm takes each order's target end time and schedules all operations in that order before order's target end time. That means, the operation will be scheduled at a time at order target end or a sooner time. So when a new order is created manually, its target end must be set before releasing it. This feature is available on PRD Module's Scheduling Algorithm also.

alternatIve nuMBer selectIon froM creator ProductIon order screens

It is available to select any alternative structure by typing Alternative Number directly while creating a new Production Order.

reservatIon IntegratIon

Reservation concept has expanded to be included Production Management. It is available to reserve final and interim products in a production order for the other Production or Sales Orders. Also the raw materials can be set as reserved for a Production Order from Purchase Orders. All reservation management can be modified on Production Order applications for related order.

off-days syncHronIzatIon In scHedulIng MaIntenance orders

When a work center is not available for the maintenance, its off-days records automatically synchronize with Maintenance Order's start and end times. So, the Capacity and Production Management Schedule algorithms consider the off-days information and schedule operations according to this.

retroactIve MaterIals suPPort for coMBIned oPeratIons

Combined operations are operations which are combined in order to be performed and confirmed together. During confirmation of combined operations, retroactive material issue support is provided.

confIrMatIon MetrIcs

In the scope of automation developments, Confirmation Transactions are being modified because of the fact that the confirmation metrics need to be entered in order to specify production details such as temperature, pressure and machine parameters. If the operation control type enables entering confirmation metrics, there is a new tab for this process while confirmation. It is available to enter more than one control records for a confirmation position. There can be added extra specs also. Each record has a controller information and the controller can measure specs after the confirmation with using Confirmation or Correction process.

track Idle tIMe for MacHInes

It is available to track Idle Time for machines when they are not working. In the scope of automation developments, Confirmation Transactions are being modified because of the fact that the Idle Times need to be entered such as cleaning, maintenance, etc. Idle Times can be tracked automatically and manually also.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENTCAPACITY PLANNING

BackWard scHedulIng

Especially in project type production, planner need to set a deadline and want to schedule production order in backward direction. The backward scheduling algorithm takes each order's target end time and schedules all operations in that order before order's target end time. That means, the operation will be scheduled at a time at order target end or a sooner time. So when a new order is created manually, its target end must be set before releasing it.

grasP algorItHM

When number of operations and number of complex constraints are less, Meta heuristic algorithms as GRASP can be used in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheduling algorithm. GRASP is a good and highly customizable Meta heuristic al-gorithm which consists of iterations made up from successive constructions of a greedy randomized solution and iterative improve-ments through a local search.

scHedulIng Project actIvItIes

It is available to schedule Project Activities for Project Management module from Capacity Management.

MultItaskIng feature of Work centers

It is available to use same Work Center more than one operation at the same time. This feature will be determined from property of Number of Machines in Work Center definitions.

coMBIned oPeratIons IntegratIon

Combined operations are operations that must be scheduled together in the same workcenters or same workcenter groups. Drag-drop of these operations are also modified to perform the same behavior.During scheduling of operations, capacity planning can suggest the operations to be combined.

scHedulIng tracIng

User can trace the scheduling progress with details as total number of iterations, number of iterations per operations, number of operations scheduled etc. With the same transaction, user can also check whether scheduling data as capacity groups, workcenters and other constraints are feasible and correct.

MultI ProcessIng of resources

In todays technology, labor is not used for the full time of operations and even operators can work in more than one workcenter at the same time.

relatIon and PostPone reasons

Scheduling already checks MRP relations in addition to relation of operations in a production order. User can save the relations of each plan for analysis.

Operations are postponed due to various constraints. All these constraints in addition to the time postponed is already prepared dur-ing scheduling. User can save the postpone reasons of each plan for analysis.

fInt39: Bank credIts ManageMent

Companies frequently apply to banks for cash credits to support their business operations and investment expenses. Analysing these credits' costs, keeping their repayments under control and integrating their cash-in and repayments to accounting system are vital.

For these business requirements, Canias 6.04 has a transaction - FINT39 Bank Credits Management – in order to help its clients to manage their bank credits.

The transaction supports the following features :

� Creates and stores an entry for every unique bank credit keeping info about the bank, credit amount and currency, interest, fund and tax ratios, related finance integration accounts and many other details.

� Automatically creates a proforma repayment plan and let the user revise it according to bank's real repayment plan.

� Helps to trace instalments. Creates their finance documents automatically when repayments are realized.

� Helps the user to trace and control the bank credit limits.

� By the end of months, as a batch calculates and prepares related finance documents for interest provisions (accrual finance documents for interest costs)

� By the end of months, as a batch calculates and prepares related finance documents for currency differences for the credits in foreign currency.

COST ACCOUNTINGCOST CENTER ACCOUNTING

defInItIon of cost accounts

In order to make it possible to create reports without unnecessary information and easy viewing of data relevant to cost accounting, it is now possible to define the finance accounts that are used in cost distribution in a check table.

Using the IASCOS002 check table, user can now define which cost accounts are used in their cost distribution processes. This provides the ability to filter out irrelevant accounts (for instance sales, stock or management accounts) from their reports. Using this ability users can view reports such as those that provide "Cost that could not be distributed" easily and plainly, without crowding the reports.

Also in order to make the actualize process on COST01 faster and create fewer records on the database, only accounts defined within IASCOS002 are used when collecting finance data.

Note that in the event that no records are defined within IASCOS002, all finance accounts will be collected; as was the case before this new development.

tools for easy confIguratIon of cost dIstrIButIon scHeMa

schema consistency control:

Consistency control (started through "Check Schema" button) checks the distribution schema for records that are faulty and need correction. Faulty records are also highlighted on the schema. The rules that are checked for are as follows:

� Within the same "Item" number block, the source fields (plant, cost center, account type, account, percentage, distribution method) must be exactly same. If any record differs from the other ones in the same block, they must be given a new Item no.

� "Percentage" field cannot be below 0 or above 100.

� The target fields on the right side of the schema must not repeat in the same item block.

� When using proportional distribution (distrib. method: 3), the target distribution percentage fields must accumulate up to 100.

Additionally, for easy viewing of the schema, item number blocks are coloured to help distinctively view.

82

quick entry

To avoid having to enter the same source information multiple times and easily copy item blocks, quick entry function was devel-oped. Accessed through the self-labeled button on the screen, a pop-up dialog is brought up. The upper (head) part of the dialog contains the source information. The grid in the lower section contains target information.

Quick entry can be used to change existing records (select at least one record in a block on the main schema) or create new blocks from scratch (select no records at all).

automatic schema creation using current data

The buttons "Load Source Accounts" on main screen and "Load Activity" on the quick entry screen allow using the selected period's actual data (finance documents and production confirmations) to automatically create source and target records on the distribution schema.

Furthermore, upon saving the schema, any finance accounts or production activities not used in the schema are prompted to the user. This way, small modifications that are needed to be done for each period can be determined much more easily.

83

cost actualIzatIon rePort

This report is intended to be used after actualizing the period data from COST01 and before distribution. It's used for comparing the finance records with the data that is collected and the data that is ignored (subcontract invoices, which are taken into account in production costing directly). The grids can be grouped and sorted using the options above. Also on "Account view", the amount that is entered into cost accounts (defined in IASCOS002) but lacks cost center information can be viewed.

This report is unique in that it is currently the only report on COS module that compares costing data directly with finance data.

Idle exPense fInancIng

When calculating activity prices as the last step of COST01, users can choose to calculate using the ideal production times defined in ROUT02 (Work Centers). In case a work center works below the ideal time, it's activity prices can be calculated using the ideal time instead of real time. The difference in amount created can then be financed as Idle Expense.

84

cost dIstrIButIon tHrougH cost center categorIes and cost account grouPs

Cost center categories and cost account groups provide the user with a way to define clearer and simpler cost distribution schemes. Defined in IASCOS001 and IASCOS010 respectively, and selected within the cost center and account plan detail, these properties allow for grouping of items that are treated equally by the cost distribution.Both fields can be used in the "Source" section of the schema, while only cost center category can be used in the "Target" section.

The exemplary schema in the screenshot above could very well contain dozens of cost centers and accounts. However since we're treating them all equally, (The "labour" accounts of C1 type cost centers are distributed to the labour activities of C2 type cost center) it is possible to greatly simplify the distribution schema.

An added benefit is that in the event of new cost centers and accounts being defined, they could be "added" to the schema by simply selecting the correct cost center category/cost account group within BAST06/FINT01.

COST ACCOUNTINGPRODUCTION COSTING

6.04 version of Canias comes with a brand new production costing system. Benefits include:

� Many new features such as

– Work-in-Progress Costing

– Accurate Semi-Product Costing

– Rework & Scrap Costing

– Scrap Financing

– Advanced Costing of Byproducts and Combined Production Orders

� Wide array of reports designed both for double-checking data and informing the user of results

� Vastly improved software performance

Work-In-Progress costIng

In the previous version, any production costs would be summed up the determine the total value of any goods that were receipt in that costing period. This would lead to many erroneous situations where the goods could receive too much cost or no costs at all. The costing system now compares the confirmation and goods receipt quantities, determining correctly the total value of the goods that were receipt into the stock. Any costs that were not used for the valuation of receipt goods are carried over to the next costing period.

accurate seMI-Product costIng

Contrary to the previous version of PRC, where the semi-products of collective production orders would not be included in the cost-ing process, the new version of PRC correctly calculates the cost values of each semi-product level, allowing for an accurate stock trial balance for semi-products.

reWork & scraP costIng

Rework and scrap confirmations are now valued properly, taking into account their moment of occurrence (ie. the operation se-quence they were confirmed in).

scraP fInancIng

Scrap confirmations can also be financed through PRDT60, using a posting key defined under the production order type.

advanced ByProduct costIng & coMBIned ProductIon orders

Byproducts are now handled correctly, with regards to them being different or equal byproducts. Their moment of occurrence is also taken into account when determining their values. Both types of byproducts can also be priced manually, or be set to share the cost of the main product (or products, in the case of combined production orders).

86

costIng rePorts

These reports can all be accessed through PRDT52. They are divided into two subcategories:

a Pre-costIng rePorts

These reports present information on the data that will be used by the costing system to determine the values of goods receipts: Material Issue Costs, Activity Costs and External Operation Costs.

B Post-costIng rePorts

These reports present information based on the results of the production costing.

� production Balance controlShows the input and output costs of each production order on a sheet report, accompanied by a balance column that is very helpful for spotting errors in costing.

� production costing elementsShows the detailed cost breakdown of a selected production order. Also includes the Cost Equations screens which is helpful for checking the consistency of the input and output costs.

� carryover costs reportShows the costs that were carried over to the next costing period.

� product and scrap cost analysisShows the total costs and basic cost breakdowns of the goods receipt and scrapped.

KMS classifies knowledge resources for capturing unlimited contents. It also allows storing multimedia such as photos and videos via Document Management. While storing, it is controlling the revision of content in order to manage history of the knowledge.Each ERP module has own different search screen but there is no screen to search in everywhere. Because of the fact that search engine is the most trending way to access knowledge in Internet environments, people are disposed to search with just a piece of words. Search mechanism of KMS enables searching over all modules similarly the common behaviours of search engines of Inter-net environment. In addition to this, it is planning to design a new feature that enables immediate searching within all text-fields.Feedback is another popular way to externalize insights; people can comment about experiences or documents. They can specify their sensation by liking/disliking and rating. This sensation can be measured in order to report which types of knowledge are con-sidered and whose sharing are more beneficial for others. Furthermore, there is notification management in KMS for alerting people who are interested in some kind of knowledge. Those all features present an interface to access knowledge and collaborate it in the familiar way from social media environment.

Through the organized data of KMS, it is applicable to create own ERP encyclopedia of company. KMS data warehouse enables to supply automatic catalogues for basic ERP elements. The catalogue pages may cover specifications and historical data considering with editable schemes. Similar to Internet encyclopedia, people can access articles via KMS and navigate through the catalogues. There is a hierarchical structure in order to manage levels of catalogues. This structure satisfies the need of tree-menu which refers categorization of articles. As an electronic encyclopedia, linking network of elements is another essential property. People usually expect to navigate with linked elements inside from the article contents. In fact, both categorization and linking should be available in ERP encyclopedia of KMS.

KMS additionally aims to report statistics about search history. It is available to track searching trends and frequency of utilization of KMS. People using KMS can be analysed in order to reveal communicative and reticent ones.

From security point of view, KMS can authorize people who try to access knowledge depends on their user rights. Moreover, KMS is configurable to moderate so when a new entry is created, it may need to be confirmed by a moderator.
