Selecting Plan Spec tab in Plan window opens a panel with lines of plan specification.

See the following two topics for a more detailed treatment of plan specification:

Plan specification is a specification structure that can be created, according to requirements, using the Hefaist application. Plan specification shows in lines of plan components, materials of which the item is made up as well as technological procedures used in processing.

Only specific functions used in creating plan specifications are described in this topic. By clicking appropriate links visit topics dealing with functions equivalent to those in creating product specifications.

Lines of material in plan specification contain data on materials required for creating items (products) as specified in plan.

Lines of operations of plan specification contain data on operations in the technological procedure.

Plan specification allows you to release work orders from plan.

Moreover, plan specification is product specification copied to lines of plan. Until plan specification is created it doesn't exist (blank) and product specification is used instead. Having created a plan specification the link to product specification is cancelled. From now on the plan spec is used.

Besides data from product specification you can find also lines scheduling requirements of lines of material as well as scheduling execution of operations. The above-mentioned topics describe the procedure used in scheduling operations in plan specification, however, the procedure is equivalent to the one used in manufacturing specification.

Edit lines in plan specification in the same way as in product specification. That is, you can add new lines of material and operation, changing or deleting them later. Thus you adapt the basic product specification to concrete circumstances particular to the plan.

Having checked Exclusive Spec Editing it is controlled so that only one user can work on the plan specification. Otherwise the following message appears.

The upper panel section displays lines of material and the bottom section displays operations entered in plan.

	Order fields in any column in ascending order by right-clicking column title bar.
	Make use of the drag-and-drop in order to move fields appearing in specification to the desired position.

Information Appearing in Main Panel Section:

  Wizard functions are available only when in Plan Spec panel:

 

Lines of Material

 

Alt.	Enter or select an alternate specification where a line can be found.
Line	Enter number of line in ascending order.
Material	Displays item in line.
Name	Enter or select a name of the item. Clicking + displays additional description. If additional description already exists in line, the icon is grey and displayed in bold type.
Note	Enter any additional text giving a short description of the line in specification. If the line contains additional description, the icon is displayed as capital letter A.
Batch	Displays number of units in production batch.
Net/Plan	Displays net quantity required in production according to plan.
Scrap/Plan	Displays scrap volume in production according to plan.
Waste/Plan	Displays waste volume in production according to plan.
Gross/Plan	Displays gross quantity required in production according to plan.
U/M	Displays unit of measurement used with item. Here can be found main unit of measurement which is set as primary, a secondary unit of measurement set as collective unit of measurement and customs unit of measurement set as tertiary. Set units of measurement in the Items register.
Start	Enter or select start date and time of operation in the selected line.
End	Enter or select end date and time of operation in the selected line.

...continuation

Volume	Enter or select number of units in specification expressed in unit of measurement set. Here the amount of volume is set ranging from 1 to 1,000,000 units.
Net/1	Displays net quantity required in order to assemble batch quantities.
Scrap/1	Displays quantity of scrap in batch production.
Waste/1	Displays quantity of waste in batch production.
Gross/1	Displays net quantity required in order to assemble batch quantities.
Net/Volume	Displays net quantity required in order to assemble batch quantities according to volume.
Waste/Volume	Displays quantity of waste in batch production according to volume.
Scrap/Volume	Displays quantity of scrap in batch production according to volume.
Gross/Volume	Displays gross quantity required in order to assemble batch quantities according to volume.

 

Lines in Operations Panel:

Alt.	Enter or select an alternate specification where a line can be found.
Line	Enter number of line of operation in ascending order.
Item	Enter or select an operation ID.
(+)	Clicking (+) opens additional lines related to this operation. In other words displays materials to be integrated in assembly when executing the operation. Which of the above-mentioned lines are integrated in assembly during specific operations can be defined by appropriate sequence of line numbers. Typically, most lines of materials are integrated during the first operation being assigned a smaller number than the related materials. Specifying Lines: Alt. Displays an alternate line of assembly. Line Displays a consecutive number of line. Item Displays an ID of material. Name Gives description of material.
Name	Displays a description given for operation. Clicking + displays additional description. If additional description already exists in line, the icon is grey and displayed in bold type.
Batch	Displays number of units in production batch.
Time	Displays total standard time required for operation. It includes production time (Tpr) and set-up time (Tsu) expressed in hours.
U/M	Enter or select a unit of measurement for production time.
In	Displays an operation type ID.
Offset	Select an offset type applied to operation in regard to the previous operation.
Resource	Displays a resource where an operation is executed.
Volume	Enter or select number of units in assembly ranging from 1 to 1,000,000 units for which production time was set. That is, if you select 1,000 units, the production time is expressed for production of 1000 units.
Tpr/Plan	Displays production time required for carrying out operation in line of plan.
Tsu/Plan	Displays set-up time required for carrying out operation in line of plan.
Tpr/1	Enter production time required per batch or assembly unit.
Tsu1	Displays set-up time required for production of series.
Tpr/Volume	Displays production time according to volume.
Tsu/Volume	Displays set-up time according to volume.
Start	Displays date and time when the operation started. The information can be found in plan schedules.
End	Displays date and time when the operation ended. The information can be found in plan schedules.

 

Whenever lines in plan specification contain data linked to register you can access it by double-clicking. double-clicking any other field opens Edit Plan Spec Lines.

	Whether Start and End columns will be displayed or not depends on Scheduling checkbox setting in the Administration Panel | Manufacturing | General .
	On the other hand Scrap, Waste, Gross and Net quantities depends on corresponding Scrap Qty and Waste parameters set in the Administration Panel | Manufacturing | General.
