Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

Doubt: I have a requirement from customer to consolidate batch order in process manufacturing.

Scenario: There is a formula item PAX-Croissant with formula lines of dough, chocolate filling. Production planning for the item is done on the basis of agreed sales orders for the next day and on the basis of forecasts. The requirement here from the customer is to use consolidate batch orders to consolidate the dough as a product from the planned production orders generated for the formula item PAX-Croissant for that day.

Question: Can anyone please suggest on how to consolidate the batch orders to consolidate the Dough?

Hi Mathew,

The error associated is with the date of the formula. I changed them now. And now i am able create a single production order for the dough based of the sale order scheduled.

Thanks for your time Mathews. I really appreciate your help:)

Can you check that the date of the production order is within the "From date" and "To date" on the formula?

It may be that your planned production order delivery date is not with the time frame i.e. it could be in the past if created a while ago and therefore before the "from date" on the formula.

Quick fix would be to put the "From date" on the formulas to the start of the year for instance.

Screenshot of the planned order details (planned supply area) could help.

Hi Nitish,

Can you check on the formula header for both the croissant and dough formulas, that they are set to "Active" and "Approved"?

I can't make out from your screenshots whether they are as you would need to scroll to the right.

2. screenshot of dough formula

3. screenshot of settings for coverage group assigned to PAX-Croissant: Coverage group assigned is req, setting for req as follows

4. screenshot of settings for coverage group assigned to dough: Coverage group for dough is PROD

5. details of sales orders/forecast on PAX-Croissant

Forecast has not been set, it can be a demand forecast of 400 each a day and sales order normal sales order per day. it can be assumed like 10 sales orders of 500 croissant each. Min order quantity is 400 of croissant.

6. While firming, i get an error that selected formula number is not approved for the batch order. How to resolve it?

Hi Mathews,

As you suggested,

Formula item: PAX-Croissant (Coverage group was set to period)

FOrmula line: Dough ( Line type was set to item)

Created a sales order for item PAX-croissant of 300 qty. When master planning is run, only one plan order of 300 was created. No order for the dough. When tried to firm, i got this error

"selected formula number is not approved for a batch order"

Thanks Colby.

Let me explain in detail. There is a customer who produces various types of croissants and bread rolls. The production depends on the forecast and sales orders dues for that day.

Production shift is 2 shift of 12 hour each. For the manufacturing of croissant and bread rolls, dough is needed. So each day, depending the on the forecast and sales orders the orders of dough needs to be consolidated into 1 single order and manufactured. The dough is needed to be stocked.

If any more details is needed please let me know.

Between, i tried setting up as Mathew said, while trying to firm the orders i got an error as that "selected formula number is not approved for a batch order"

I'm not clear, are you:

Trying to just lump all the demand together to get one batch order for Dough that will supply the days requirements of PAX-Croissant production? OR

Trying to use true Consolidated Batch Order functionality (Production Control -> Common -> Consolidated Batch Orders?

If 1, Matthews tips are the path to head down. If 2, you have a bit more setup to do, you should read this: technet.microsoft.com/.../hh352178.aspx

Well those are two settings that should help, but there are lots of other factors that influence this. Investigate that and update us with your progress.
