Recalculate Expected Yield

Kinetic ERP
1

We have a process for make to stock items where we ask for 10 but on the final op 2 are scrapped. We receive 8 into inventory, but in our process I would want to close this job automatically. I am testing the Recalculate Expected Yield. Site is set to Adjust Job Quantities. The job header has the Production Yield checked. I have tried various percentages Recalculate Yield Under % on the operations. The log on the Yield recalculation shows start and stop with no other detail. The job does not change quantity. The job remains open.

I’m following this closely as we would like the sorta the same thing.

I have gotten similar results when testing this. I want the same thing to happen that you describe but have not been able to achieve it so far.

Update:
Tip: If you enter a zero value in this field, yield will never be recalculated automatically. If you want to trigger automatic recalculation, enter a higher percentage or do not select Recalculate Expected Yield check box. For example, enter 3 to maximize yield recalculation.
After multiple tests with percentages 10,20,50,99 we have this running with Recalculate Yield Under % set to 1. I believe it is checking for a greater than 1%. Did not test 3 as stated in the tip to see what the results would have been. We did notice today that if the completed quantity and scrap quantity is less than the run quantity it will not close still. Hope this helps.

Thank you for following up on this, we regularly have to run over or under due to material constraints and want this to be recalculated.

I have this working at a couple of sites with the following:

I run Recalculate Production Yield every hour on a schedule.
All Operations have Recalculate Expected Yield ticked.
All Operations have Recalculate Yield Under % set to 0.
All Jobs have Production Yield ticked.

This sounds perfect, exactly what we want to do for our stock items, but we want to limit it on our MTO.. as it says on the tin make to order, we don’t have the stock pleasure..

I am just curious if you have make to order mixed with make to stock demands, as our make to order, we don’t want to recalc, is this where the limit production yield in the part record comes in?

We have MTO items, that contain some MTS components that are pull. The MTO though we will need to instantly re-make if not right, and we can do that, but we don’t want parts that are MTO to recalc… I just wondered if you have parts you don’t run this on also really..

thanks in advance
