Hi. Does anyone have any information on Shop Floor Control? I am experimenting with the setup parameters but the information and training guides I have found so far don't give me enough information to configure this properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

It should be resolved with following checkpoints:

It is recommended to use atleast SP1 Roll Up 6, couple of SFC bugs got resolved in that AX2009 roll up.

1) In Shop Floor Parameters / Production parameters Under General tab, make sure that Post time automatically is selected under Time field group and Time journal = Job card journal.

2) In Shop Floor Parameters / Production parameters Under operations tab, make sure that Job level is Job and proper Job journal is selected under Route consumption journal and post automatically = selected.

3) In your Route groups under General tab, make sure that all the automatic route consumption is unchecked this prevents data from SFC.

4) In Setup tab, Job management is selected for the Job types you are using.

5) Please do note that the Actual Job Time only gets automatically posted when you Calculate, Approve and Transfer your registration times from SFC.

Hope this will help.

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

The job card is posted automatically when reporting as finished.

The setup of the route journal is ok. When I finish a production without using SFC the route card is posted correctly.

But I'm not using any automatism to create a route journal.

Below you'll find another screendump:

As you can see, job ..1281 is updated with proper values, but in the 2nd picture, the production itself seems to be not updated

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

The job card is posted automatically at what point? Reporting in SFC?

Looks like there is no "route" journal which is fine.

I would really need to set it up and see and then decide if it is an issue for you or okay due to other considerations.

Hi,

the route is not posted automatically (set up in the route group), the job card is posted automatically but without reference to the production:

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

Hi Martin

On the start parameters and on the works order are you creating a route journal? You should not be with your approach (from memory), just check this first. If you are creating a route journal do not, then see if the job journal is created - you should be able to see them in the journals - job option.

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

Hello,

first of all thanks for replying!

I need to apologise, I'm using 2009 (demo company ceu) and I'fe overred that the main topic is on 4.0.

Let me explain my issue in more details:

I'm creating a production --> job schedule --> start

I go to shop floor management and register myself on the first job.

when I go back to my production --> jobs --> tab "scheduling" the job's status is still "waiting" and no start time is available.

after giving feedback on SFM the job is ended and a job journal is posted (by the way, the journal has no reference to the production maybe that's the issue). The journal cannot be seen via journal --> job card, it can be only seen by journals --> all

Do you have an idea of what is going wrong?

THX!

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

Up until the point it is transferred it can all be changed so the feedback is not defined, so if that is where you are looking then the times should be updated - the end time should come from the end job, but this maybe an issue with the version of 4 you are running, I cannot be certain!

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

Hi Martin,

I had this also - no times on the Production > Works Orders > Jobs > Feeback tab until you run Calculation and Approval and Transfer. Then I only see the Start times - the end times stay as 00:00.

Hi Martin

Registering the time through which mechanism? Are you logging onto a job and then completeing the job in SFC? Where are you seeing the execution time as 0:00 to 0:00?

Re: Shop Floor Control AX 4.0

I'm also struggeling with SFC, maybe you can help me on the following question:

I am using job scheduling and I register my time on a job. When finishing the job, only the start & end date is filled, but the execution time is 0:00 to 0:00.

I tried to play with the parameters, but I couldn't find a proper one.

Did you find a way to solve my issue?

THX!

Martin
