Yield %. Enter the order percentage expected to be in usable condition
after this operation.
Tool Code. Optionally, enter the code for a tool normally used during
this operation. This is for reference only. To standardize tool codes,
set them up in Generalized Codes Maintenance (36.2.13) for field
ro_tool.
Supplier. If this is a subcontract operation, enter the code of the
supplier doing the work.
Milestone Operation. Enter Yes to define this as a repetitive labor
reporting operation and to backflush all previous operations since the
last milestone operation. The field only affects repetitive
manufacturing operations.
Inventory Value. Optionally, enter accumulated cost through this
operation. Only used by the Repetitive WIP Cost Report (18.21.12).
Subcontract Cost and LT. If this is a subcontract operation, enter the
normal average cost per unit charged by the subcontractor and the
normal number of calendar days the subcontractor takes to complete
the operation.
Overlap Units. Enter the number of units that must be completed
before they are moved to the next operation. When there are two
consecutive operations, you can sometimes save time by moving
partial quantities from one operation to the next before the first
operation has been completed.
Operation Capacity
As the number of machines increases, work center capacity and the
number of hours a work center is available for work also increases. If
there are 8 hours in a work day and an operation has 2 machines per
operation, the work center has 16 hours of capacity for that operation.
Operation Capacity = Calendar Hours Available x Machines per Operation
The number of machines per operation is also used for calculating the
lead time and machine burden cost for an operation.
