Questions Regarding the production module.

hi,

  1. In the production process, can i able to link the single production order to different sale orders ? if yes how, give the brief overview and path in AX 2009.

  2. please give the brief outline about how the production effiency can be divided to each operations?

  3. How can i differenciate the priority of the customer in the production order?

  4. when the different customers order the same item and If the quantity can be produced in bulk, how can we distrubute the quantity to customers?

  1. It is linked on demand from planning, you cannot link it back, but it is not necessary as you will have defined the coverage to cope with this, and perhaps marking/reservation.

  2. Efficiency is per operation, so if it takes 1 hour and is 50% efficient it will schedule 2 hours.

  3. This is done by the demand date of the requirements and associated settings/considerations.

  4. Yes depending upon the item coverage settings of the item. You distribute through the picking process of sales, not production.

Other option to manage priority (your 3rd question) could be the use of the Priority field, in the Setup tab of the production order, Scheduling group. The highest the number, the highest priority. But this field is not linked to MPS, is of manual use for each production order.

Dear AdamRoue,

I didnt get the 1 question Answer can u explain in detail.

prakash.

Well the answer to 1 is “no”. You need to understand planning and the process of the sales-production flow to understand why it is not necessary. Look at it and come back with specific questions.
