Infor LN Production Order Management and Control Setup

Production Order Types and Configuration

Infor LN supports multiple production order types configured through session tisfc0101s, each tailored to different manufacturing scenarios. Standard production orders suit make-to-stock environments, while project-linked orders connect to PCS project budgets for engineer-to-order manufacturers. Rework orders, disassembly orders, and by-product orders handle specialized production scenarios that frequently occur in process-adjacent discrete manufacturing.

• Configure production order types in tisfc0101s for standard, rework, disassembly, and by-product manufacturing scenarios
• Define order-specific parameters including material issue method (backflush vs. manual), operation reporting level, and costing behavior
• Set up production order numbering groups and automatic order generation rules linked to MRP planned order firming
• Configure production order approval workflows with authorization limits based on order quantity, value, and item classification
• Establish production order templates for frequently manufactured items to accelerate order creation and reduce setup errors

Routing and Operation Management

Routings in Infor LN define the sequence of operations required to manufacture an item, configured through session tirou0101m. Each operation specifies the work center, machine, setup time, run time, and overlap rules. Routing effectivity dates allow version management for process improvements without disrupting active production orders.

Alternate routings support flexibility when primary work centers are at capacity or undergoing maintenance.

• Define standard routings in tirou0101m with operation sequences, work center assignments, and time standards per piece or batch
• Configure operation overlap and parallel processing rules to reduce manufacturing lead times for multi-operation products
• Set up alternate routings activated by capacity constraints, machine availability, or production order quantity thresholds
• Manage routing effectivity dates to phase in process improvements while maintaining active order stability

Material Issuing and Production Reporting

Material issue methods in Infor LN range from manual kit issuing through warehouse pick lists to automatic backflushing upon operation completion. Session tisfc0110s manages material transactions against production orders. Backflush configuration per BOM line reduces transaction volume for high-throughput environments, while manual issuing provides precise material traceability required in regulated industries like aerospace and pharmaceuticals.

• Configure material issue methods per BOM line: manual issue, floor stock, backflush at operation, or backflush at order completion
• Set up warehouse integration for material staging and kit preparation using whwmd2410m pick list generation
• Define production reporting methods including operation-level reporting, milestone reporting, and order-level completion
