Admin Settings menu

Specifies if the quantity unit of orders can be changed.

If deactivated by default the quantity unit 'Number of articles' (NAR) is used on this line. Order Management will fail on requests with any other quantity unit.

In the clients changing of the quantity unit is prohibited.

Indicates for which states of a station order the station counters can be incremented.

When no station order with an allowed state is found an error is raised or a negative response is created and the station counter is not incremented (depends on the technical setting 'ThrowWhenStationOrderNotFound' and the 'Line Type').

pecifies whether unplanned orders can be used in this line.

If disabled, the state of an order can not be changed to 'Unplanned' and orders in that state are not displayed in the order list.

Specifies whether it is allowed to pause orders.

If pausing an order is not allowed, the paused orders are not shown in the order list and the context menu entry for pausing an order is hidden.

Filter to be used when requesting the BOM from PSM.

No Line Filte r: Custom Building plans are not filtered by the line number.

Filter for 'Area' : Custom Building Plans are filtered by the Area. The Area in Product Setup Management must match the line number from Order Management.

Filter for 'Available Lines' : Custom Building Plans are filtered by Available Lines. The list of Available Lines in Product Setup Management must contain the line number from Order Management.

Specifies the types of the station counter, on which a check is performed if the station order and order is fully produced. The check is performed on 'Increment Counter' on automatic lines.

Station order and order are finished depending on how the station order on the call to 'IncrementCounter' is identified.

The station order will be set to 'Finished' if it has reached the target quantity. The order will be finished, when the station order on the first station is finished.

The station order is kept 'Active' when the target quantity was reached. If 'Increment Counter' is called for a fully produced station order it is checked if there is a matching followup order. This order will be activated, otherwise it is possible to overproduce the current station order. The order will be closed, when all station orders reached the target quantity and have the same counter.

When ' OK ' is selected, the station order will be finished when the OK counter exceeds the order quantity.

When ' OK and NOK ' is selected, the station order will be finished when the sum of OK and NOK counter exceeds the order quantity.

Specifies if the ERP confirmation is performed by 'Increment Counter' or 'Update Counter'.

Never : No confirmation is performed.

When requested : When requested by the caller the confirmation is performed.

Always : On every call the confirmation is performed.

Specifies which material events are available on the line. Possible values:

Automatic : All signals are available (Increment Counter from each station and material consumption from each station).

Automatic without material : Increment Counter from each station is reported but no material consumption. The material consumption is simulated using the count from the Increment Counter and the available parts list.

Manual (Multiple Active Orders) : There is only one Increment Counter signal and also only from the first station. Multiple orders in the line can be active at the same time.

Manual (Single Active Order) : There is only one Increment Counter signal and also only from the first station. Only a single order in the line can be active.

he look back period ([d.]hh:mm:ss) for requesting production plans to synchronize orders from ProCon.

The 'updateStartTime' parameter in ProCon will be set from the synchronization time minus the configured value.

Whether the synchronization is active or not in general is controlled by the 'Order Synchronization Mode'.

This parameter is not used when the 'Order Synchronization Mode' is set to 'with Planning System V2 (event based)'.

Specifies the time period ([d.]hh:mm:ss) for which all orders (with scheduled start time within the period) should be returned when downloading planned production orders from ERP.

Default: '0.08:00:00'

If both the look forward and look back parameters are set to '0.00:00:00', no time filter will be used.

he look forward period ([d.]hh:mm:ss) for requesting production plans to synchronize orders from ProCon.

The 'updateEndTime' parameter in ProCon will be set from the synchronization time plus the configured value.

Whether the synchronization is active or not in general is controlled by the 'Order Synchronization Mode'.

This parameter is not used when the 'Order Synchronization Mode' is set to 'with Planning System V2 (event based)'.

Specifies the time period ([d.]hh:mm:ss) for which orders (with scheduled start time within the period) should be returned when downloading planned production orders from ERP.

Default: '0.12:00:00'

If both the look forward and look back parameters are set to '0.00:00:00', no time filter will be used.

If active and the parameter 'No Material Order in Maintenance' is set in the global parameters, no material requisition is triggered. The station counter is not increased.

Maintenance mode can also be enabled and disabled in the order view for scheduled orders if the client is configured to allow this.

The value determines which ERP station orders are to be created in OrderManagement

Selecting a value means, that all station orders with the selected confirmation level or a higher confirmation level are created.

E.g. if '1 - Possible' is selected, then all station orders with confirmation level '1 - Possible', '2 - Requested' or '3 - Required' are created.

Defines if an order can be activated when performing a Station Counter Increment ('IncrementCounter'):

Disabled : No orders are activated.

Only in sequence : Only the topmost released order can be activated.

Force : Released orders can be activated regardless of the sequence.

Specifies whether orders in state 'Planned' of the line will be released automatically.

Disabled : No orders will be released automatically.

All orders : Planned orders will be checked for an automatic release periodically. If the 'BOM Type' is set to 'Disabled', all planned orders with a type number set will be released. If the 'BOM Type' is set to a different value, orders will be released if a bill of material (BOM) can be retrieved. A BOM is retrieved based on the type number, setup and revision data of the order.

By Material state : Orders are automatically released when the calculation determines that material is available to start the order. This is the case, if at least one piece of the required type number is set up in each track where material is consumed according to the parts list.

This only works if a BOM type is set, SrS is enabled for the line and generally in OrderManagement, the option Material calculation for non-released orders is enabled and the preview duration selected is sufficiently large to allow the non-released orders to fall into the preview period.

Specifies the mode for generating new order numbers.

Internal: Order numbers are generated internally in Order Management.

Orchestration Workflow: Uses the workflow 'OrderManagementGetNewOrderNo' via Orchestration to generate a new order number.

Order numbers must be unique for all orders of all lines.

Specifies whether and with which external systems orders will be synchronized.

Disabled : No orders will be synchronized.

With Planning System ProCon : Orders will be synchronized only with ProCon (automatically).

With Planning System ProCon and ERP Production Planned Orders (Current Line) : Orders will be synchronized with ProCon and supplemented with data from Series Production Orders (ERP: Production Planned Orders) (automatically). Orders are filtered by line in the ERP system.

With Planning System ProCon and ERP Production Planned Orders (All Lines) : Orders will be synchronized with ProCon and supplemented with data from Series Production Orders (ERP: Production Planned Orders) (automatically). Orders are not filtered by line in the ERP system.

With Planning System ProCon and ERP Production Orders : Orders will be synchronized with ProCon and supplemented with data from Contract Production Orders (ERP: Production Orders) (automatically).

With ERP Production Planned Orders (Current Line) : Order synchronization for Series Production Orders (ERP: Production Planned Orders) can be triggered manually in the Orders View Workspace. Orders are filtered by line in the ERP system.

With ERP Production Planned Orders (All Lines) : Order synchronization for Series Production Orders (ERP: Production Planned Orders) can be triggered manually in the Orders View Workspace. Orders are not filtered by line in the ERP system.

With ERP Production Orders : Order synchronization for Contract Production Orders (ERP: Production Orders) from the current line can be triggered manually in the Orders View Workspace.

With ERP Sales : Currently not used.

With Planning System V2 (event based) : Orders will be synchronized to Order Management through events sent by ProCon (automatically).

Indicates if an order can be paused instead of finishing it when another order is started while the active is not yet finished.

When enabled, 'Pause Order Threshold' is evaluated to determine whether the order should be paused or finished.

This parameter only takes effect, if pausing orders is allowed for the line by 'Allow Pause Order'.

Threshold to pause an order instead of finishing it when another order is started while the active is not yet finished.

When 'Pause Order Below Threshold' is enabled and the percentage of the already produced quantity in relation to the target quantity is below the configured value the order will be paused.

Defines a regular expression that is used to extract type number and Packaging Index from the type number during synchronization from a planning system (e.g. Procon).

If the regex contains groups, the groups with the name 'TYPE_NUMBER' and 'PACKAGING_INDEX' are used for the extraction.

If there are no groups or the required group name (TYPE_NUMBER) is missing, the whole match is used as the extracted value for the Type Number.

If the regex is empty, the whole incoming Type Number is used as the Type Number and the Packaging Index is left empty.

Packaging Index should preferably be a part of the Type Number and in this case, Packaging Index is empty. In this case, the group 'PACKAGING_INDEX' need not be defined in the regex.

Examples:

With groups: ^(?<TYPE_NUMBER>[a-zA-Z0-9]\{1,10})(?<PACKAGING_INDEX>[a-zA-Z0-9]\{1,})?

Without groups (only sets the Type Number): [0-9a-zA-Z]\{1,10}

Specifies whether messages about the Frozen Zone State Change Event are published to the IAS internal message bus for synchronizing changes to other IAS modules (e.g. Packaging Control).

For messages to be sent, the connection to the internal message broker must be configured through technical settings (see operations manual).

If enabled, new messages are published at the end of the material calculation, for each order that entered or left the frozen zone compared to the last calculation.

Specifies whether messages about the Frozen Zone State Change Event are published to a public message bus for synchronizing changes to external consumers (e.g. ProCon).

For messages to be sent, the connection to the public message broker must be configured through technical settings (see operations manual).

If enabled, new messages are published at the end of the material calculation, for each order that entered or left the frozen zone compared to the last calculation.

Specifies the topic that is used to publish Frozen Zone State Change messages to the public message bus.

This parameter is only considered, if publishing the Frozen Zone State Change message is enabled for the line (see 'Publish Frozen Zone State Change Event (Public)').

If enabled, a new message is published to the broker, each time an order is deleted.

Specifies whether messages about the modification of orders are published to the IAS internal message bus for synchronizing changes to other IAS modules (e.g. Packaging Control).

For messages to be sent, the connection to the internal message broker must be configured through technical settings (see operations manual).

If enabled, a new message is published to the broker, each time an order is modified. No message will be published for properties of the order which are updated periodically (e.g. material state) or for properties where a separate event exists (e.g. order state).

Specifies whether messages about a changed order sequence are published to the IAS internal message bus for synchronizing changes to other IAS modules (e.g. Packaging Control).

For messages to be sent, the connection to the internal message broker must be configured through technical settings (see operations manual).

The message contains the list of orders numbers in the sequence of production, hence finished or canceled orders are not part of the message.

If enabled, new messages are published, whenever the sequence of production changes.

Specifies whether messages about the Order State Change Event are published to the IAS internal message bus for synchronizing changes to other IAS modules (e.g. Packaging Control).

For messages to be sent, the connection to the internal message broker must be configured through technical settings (see operations manual).

If enabled, a new message is published to the broker, each time the state of an order is changed.

Specifies whether messages about the Order State Change Event are published to a public message bus for synchronizing changes to external consumers (e.g. ProCon).

If enabled, a new message is published to the broker, each time the state of an order is changed.

Specifies the topic that is used to publish Order State Change messages to the public message bus.

This parameter is only considered, if publishing the Order State Change message is enabled for the line (see 'Publish Order State Change Event (Public)').

Placeholders can be used within the topic, that will be replaced with an actual value:

{LineNumber} - Replaced with the Order Management line number.

{TenantId} - Replaced with the identifier for the tenant.

{PlantId} - Replaced with the value from the line setting 'Plant (Planning System ProCon Sync V1)'.

{PlanningSystemLineId} - Replaced with the value from the line setting 'Planning System Line Identifier'. If no planning system line identifier is configured, the Order Management line number is used as a fallback.

Specifies the topic that is used to publish Station Counter Modified messages to the public message bus.

This parameter is only considered, if publishing the Station Counter Modified message is enabled for a station of the line (see 'Publish Station Counter Messages (Public)').

Placeholders can be used within the topic, that will be replaced with an actual value:

{LineNumber} - Replaced with the Order Management line number.

{TenantId} - Replaced with the identifier for the tenant.

{PlantId} - Replaced with the value from the line setting 'Plant (Planning System ProCon Sync V1)'.

{PlanningSystemLineId} - Replaced with the value from the line setting 'Planning System Line Identifier'. If no planning system line identifier is configured, the Order Management line number is used as a fallback.

Order synchronization from planning system (e.g. ProCon): Indicates which states from the planning system should be considered for synchronization.

The predefined states are:

PLANNED, UPCOMING, IN_PREPARATION, IN_PRODUCTION, COMPLETED, BLOCKED, PARKED, PARTIALLY_PRODUCED, CANCELLED, BACKLOG, UNASSIGNED, SPECIAL_KANBAN

If the value is left blank, then all states are taken into account.

Whether the synchronization is active or not in general is controlled by the 'Order Synchronization Mode'.

When a order changes to a state not in this list, the order gets deleted in Order Management (except this is not allowed because of the state of the order in Order Management).

Enables or disables the synchronization of orders from Planning System (e.g. ProCon). This parameter additionally enables the synchronization of orders in the Frozen Zone.

Whether the synchronization is active or not in general is controlled by the 'Order Synchronization Mode'.

See also 'Forecast Duration' for more information about the Frozen Zone.

Specifies for which production type the ERP confirmation is performed.

Contract production: production order LSM (Lot Size Manufacturing)

Series production: planned order REM (Repetitive Manufacturing)

Specifies how and/or from which source unique part identifiers are to be created.

Deactivated: No unique part identifiers are created.

GUID: GUIDs are created as unique part identifiers.

Order no index: The unique part identifiers are created using the Order no. pattern and an attached index.

Order: The unique part identifiers are already included in the order. Can only be used if they are submitted from outside (along with the order), for example, when the orders with unique part identifiers are submitted from SAP.

Specifies if the buffer in ERP Connectivity is used when confirming bad quantities.

If the buffer should be used, it must be enabled in ERP Connectivity, otherwise no confirmation can be performed.

Specifies if the buffer in ERP Connectivity is used when confirming good quantities.

If the buffer should be used, it must be enabled in ERP Connectivity, otherwise no confirmation can be performed.

Specifies if the buffer in ERP Connectivity is used when confirming scrap quantities.

If the buffer should be used, it must be enabled in ERP Connectivity, otherwise no confirmation can be performed.

The source from which the parts lists of this line are to be obtained.

Values : Disabled , Internal , PSM - Building Plan - by Type Number , PSM - Building Plan - Revision Handling , ASM , PSM - Packaging , PanaCIM und PSM - Product Setup - Trigger Explosion

In case of the option 'Internal', the part lists must be passed on to OrderManagement in advance from some external system automatically. This is used, for example, if the parts lists originate from Panasonic machines.

If PSM - Packaging is selected, the setting No Setup must be set for all stations of the line so that orders can be released.

If PSM - Building Plan - Revision Handling is selected, the building plan will be retrieved using the revision and the production version.

Enable or disable the Cart Management menu

In the Cart Management menu, a material is set up for carts and the setup of an order refers to a setup in the Cart Management menu.

Specifies if the setup configuration in Cart Management is checked for completeness when releasing an order. A setup is complete, if a cart is configured for every active table.

Disabled : The setup configuration is not checked.

Warning : If a cart is missing in the configuration, a warning message is displayed. The order can still be released.

Error : If a cart is missing in the configuration, an error message is displayed. The order can not be released.

This parameter is only considered, if Cart Management is active for the line

Indicates whether station orders that belong to finished orders should be considered in the material calculation.

If this parameter is activated, needed Material for finished orders is ordered, if there are associated station orders in state created or active.

No material is ordered for cancelled orders.

activating this parameter does not have an influence on the considered forecast period for active and released orders.

If checked the Material Calculation uses transport order material history to exclude already delivered transport orders which have not been marked as delivered. All the materials on the line are requested during material calculation and if a material is found which is associated to a open transport order item it will be marked as delivered.

Logistic Management and ERP Connectivity must be configured to write Mat-Ids into the material history during pickup.

pecifies how errors are handled that occur while customizing the bill of material when releasing an order.

Error : If customizing fails a message is displayed. The order is not released.

Warning : If customizing fails a message is displayed. The user can decide to release the order with the unmodified bill of material.

Ignore : If customizing fails the order is released with the unmodified bill of material. No message is displayed.

This parameter is only considered, if Customize Bill of Materia l is enabled for the line.

Forbid deletion of Created Material Orders in general.

Disabled : All Material Orders with a transport order status of New or Requested can be canceled. Material Orders in Created status can only be cancelled when all their Transport Order Items are in state New or Cancelled. (Default)

Enabled : Only Material Orders with a Transport Order status of New or Requested can be cancelled.

Specifies the time period to be covered by the material calculation (in minutes).

This defines also how big the Frozen Zone is. Orders which are inside the Frozen Zone or partially in the Frozen Zone need special permission to be edited and it can be configured they are not changed by order synchronization.

When returning material to the warehouse: Default value for 'Good Receipt ID' when it is not set by the interface.

In the 'Return Material' interface the 'GoodReceiptNumber' can be set. If it is not set this default value is used for triggering the request in ERP. Normally this value is set from the Material Management 'ERP ID' of the material.

Something similar happens for the parameter 'GoodsReceiptItemNumber'. This value is normally set from the Material Management 'SAP Item Receipt Number' ('SapGoodsReceiptItemNumber') of the material.

Specifies how to proceed with material reservations whose material could no longer be found at the expected location.

Normal Calculation : Normal material calculation is in progress. Reservations are made as soon as material can be reserved again; otherwise, a (normal) material order is triggered.

Emergency Order Material : An emergency order is triggered for the missing material.

Specifies the endpoint address (hostname) for the ASM server of this line. This server is used to retrieve the bill of material, when the 'BOM Type' is set to 'ASM'.

The server for authenticating with ASM can be configured through the technical settings (see operations manual).

Specifies the endpoint address (hostname) for the PanaCIM server of this line. This server is used to retrieve the bill of material, when the 'BOM Type' is set to 'PanaCIM'.

The server for authenticating with PanaCIM can be configured through the technical settings (see operations manual).

Time interval (hh:mm:ss) at which the automatic material order is triggered.

This specifies times relative to the start time.

Time (hh:mm:ss) by which the start of material orders is delayed in automatic mode. This is done relative to the cycle defined in Material Order Cycle.

This means that the material orders for different lines are temporally separated by different values, thus evening out a large number of orders for many lines.

The algorithm that determines in which order the materials are reserved. (Material in climate cabinet will always be reserved before material in storage locations.)

By Expiration Date : The materials will be reserved in the order of their expiration date.

By Closest Quantity : The material with the next larger quantity than required will be selected. If there is no material, the biggest Quantity will be reserved.

Material Reservation Time

[ minutes ]

Specifies how long material is reserved for (in minutes). If this time has elapsed, the procedure continues after setting it to the Missing Reserved Material mode.

This setting applies only to reserved materials that are not yet in delivery. This setting will only be used when the 'Material Reservation Time' setting is not set under the location settings.

Specifies the expiration time in minutes for material reservations with the status in delivery. If this time has elapsed, the procedure continues after setting it to the Missing Reserved Material mode.

The time counts from the start of the reservation, not from the start of the delivery. This value should always be greater than the value in Material Reservation Duration, otherwise reservations transitioning to the status in delivery may expire immediately. This setting will only be used when the "Material

Reservation Time 'in Delivery' " setting is not set under the location settings.

The maximum number of repetitions for a Material Demand. If the maximum number of retries is exceeded, the Material Demand is cancelled without fulfilling it.

For example, a Material Demand is repeated when an order fails and it is replaced with a new order.

If this number of required materials is exceeded for a single setup, no orders for that setup will be triggered. Not even for partial quantities.

Material orders can still be triggered manually in the Material Handling workspace. The limit does not apply to these manual orders.

In certain cases, this can prevent large quantities of material that are not required at all from being ordered, e.g. due to an input error.

Specifies the MSD levels for which the exposure time for materials is retrieved from Material Management when filling the Line Material Cache. If no values are specified, all levels will be taken into account.

This is only evaluated when 'Enable Line Material Cache' and 'Retrieve Exposure Times' are active.

Different setups are possible when enabled and material used on different lines can be correctly included in the calculation. The parameter causes that offline mounted material will also be taken into account by material calculation.

In addition, material whose StationIndex indicates that it is being used offline is also considered. Offline material is marked with Station Index 2 and additionally Line Number, WorkPos and the first character of the station info can differ.

Example:

Location-ID Online: 0045 0050 0001 1 0001 0001

Location-ID Offline:

0045 0050 0002 1 0000 0001

Station-Info Online: 10010L

Station-Info Offline: 00010L

If Cart Management is enabled, this parameter should also always be enabled, as otherwise the material will not be considered correctly if the cart is not on the line.

Minimum belt length required to splice material (in mm).

Relevant for the calculation of how much material is required and when.

If the calculation for the material need exceeds this minimal strap length (in mm), additional material will be considered or ordered if required. The value will be converted to a quantity for each material individually by using the material’s pitch value (Order View → Bill Of Material → Column 'Pitch'). The rest strap length is the maximum of the threshold for missing material.

The threshold has no effect when set to 0.

Example:

When the rest strap length is set to 2000 mm.This parameter can be set to 500 mm.

In this case OrderManagement will not consider or order material, as long as the 1500 mm of rest strap length will be enough for the material need.

It will consider or order material when the 1500 mm are exceeded for the full amount of needed material by orders plus rest strap length.

The difference to just decrease the rest strap length is, when the Threshold is reached we order the full rest strap length instead of the decreased one. So the material from rest strap length can be used for production as long as we don’t need more than the threshold.

Specifies how the name of the Unloading Point is generated. When nothing is specified, the Unloading Point from the Handover settings is used.

E.g.: "L\{0:D2} S\{1:D3} P{2}" contains two decimal characters for the line number, three decimal characters for the station number, and two characters for the position.

Specifies if the Cart Management setup is fetched and updated in addition to the BOM when an order is released.

Currently only available for BOM Type ASM and PanaCIM.

The Cart Management setup is only used if Cart Management is enabled for the line.
