4.2.9 Resources, Products and Processes (RPPM)

4.2.9.1 Automatic Item Number Generation (SR4429)

A new option has been introduced to allow Item Numbers to be automatically generated.

A new flag has been introduced on the FMAN (Formula Management) transaction to determine

whether system generated item numbers are allowed.

A new INUM (Item Number Allocation) transaction has been introduced to maintain item number

prefixes and their associated number ranges. It should be noted that the number of digits entered as

the maximum number in the range will determine the size of the item number. E.g. if the prefix is A

and the maximum number is 9999, the first number generated could be A0001.

The IADD (Item Number Add) and ITCP (Item Details Copy) transactions have been changed to

generate a new item number if the FMAN flag is set and a single character prefix has been entered

which matches a range defined on INUM.

4.2.9.2 PRST - Process Standard Text Add (SR4426)

TROPOS allows standard text paragraphs to be maintained against processes and/or process stages

via the TESA transaction. These text paragraphs were previously included against selected

processes and process stages using the TEST transaction which required one transaction to be

performed for each standard paragraph of text to be added.

To improve the usability of this mechanism, a new transaction, PRST (Process Standard Text Add),

now allows multiple standard text paragraphs to be appended to either a Process Version or a

Process Stage.

4.2.9.3 Resource Costs by Cycle (SR4425)

In certain industries it is possible to run the same machine in different cycles which can have

different energy consumption and manning requirements.

To support this, TROPOS now allows the user to define different overhead recovery rates against a

single machine dependent on the stage type of the process being performed.

When a process is being costed, the costing routines will detect which process stage type is present

and will determine whether there are specific overhead recovery rates defined for the stage type. If

none are found the normal recovery rates are used.

The CSDM (Cost Defaults) transaction has been altered to allow the definition of the stage type to

which the overhead recovery rates apply.

In addition to this is it is also possible to define a variable overhead recovery rate which is based in

the unit of measure of the resource instead of in terms of a rate per hour spread over the Standard

Batch Quantity. This overhead rate is applied to the quantity output from the process stage and is

then applied to the finished product cost. i.e. if a variable overhead rate of £20/tonne was defined on

a stage which had a throughput of two tonnes and then yield losses reduced the quantity being

produced to one tonne, £40 would be recovered against each tonne of finished product produced.

Manual Set-Up Procedures

Define overhead recovery rates by stage type on the CSDM transaction.
