Production Journal

The production journal is standard manufacturing functionality in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. In COSMO Process Manufacturing, two functions have been added:

  • Gathering of the Posting Quantity – Initially, the current remaining quantity from the production order is used as the Posting Quantity. If the Posting Quantity is changed, the lines are updated as follows:

    • Consumption lines = Consumption Quantity is proportionally recalculated based on the new posting quantity.

    • Output lines = Run Time is proportionally recalculated based on the new posting quantity.

    • Output lines = Output Quantity is updated with the new posting quantity.

      Note

      Depending on factors such as the Flushing Method of the routing or the Preset Output Quantity setting in Manufacturing Setup, the Output Quantity field might be zero on output lines when the Production Journal is opened. The Output Quantity in these lines will be updated with the new posting quantity if it is changed.

  • Gathering of the Scrap % – When the Scrap % field is changed, all raw materials and times are recalculated.

The calculated values can be changed at any time.

Note

The Posting Quantity and Scrap % fields are shown in General section of the production journal if the Use Posting Qty. and Scrap Defaults in Prod. Journal toggle is turned on in the Process Manufacturing Setup page.

For more information about the standard Production Journal functionality, refer to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Help.

Lot No. Usage on Machine Line in Production Journal

Tools and Inserts are always used in combination with and parallel to a Work Center. These capacities use the same Starting Date-Time and Ending Date-Time as the Work Center and do not exist separately.

If a Work Center with Tool is the last in the Routing:

  • A dummy for Tool Usage will be added to the Production Structure and Prod. Order Routing.

  • The concluding dummy position that is required for calculation is not transferred to the Production Journal/Output Journal.

The posting of the Work Center position is the trigger for automatic Output posting. Therefore, the Production Order Line-related Item Tracking must be entered on the Work Center line.

Note

When the Work Center is part of a parallel structure in the Production Structure, the last line on the Production Journal/Output Journal is a dummy line used to reunite routing structures that can have different time efforts when running parallel. In this case, the parallel dummy line is the trigger for the Output posting and position for entering the Item Tracking.
