Set up Locations and Work/Machine Centers to use the Day Algorithm for To-Production Bins
You can add a day-identifier to the To-production bin that is defined for a location, work center, and machine center. The day-identifier is helpful for companies who use full-bin consumption but are unable to post the consumption until the following day.
From a location, work center, or machine center, you can set JustFood to use the Bin+Day algorithm, which adds a number to the end of the To-production bin that indicates the day the production order started. The days are indicated as follows:
1-Monday
2-Tuesday
3-Wednesday
4-Thursday
5-Friday
6-Saturday
7-Sunday
If production was started on Monday, the To-production bin would end in 1, for example, INBOUND1.
After JustFood knows which bin to use, JustFood checks the To-Production Bin Algorithm field of the corresponding location, work center, or machine center.
To set up To-production bins with the day-identifier
Choose
, enter locations, and then choose the related link.The Locations page opens.
Select the Code that represents the location for which you want to add the bins to.
On the action bar, choose Process > Bins.
The Bins page opens.
Add the To-production bins with the day-identifier added to the end. For example, if your To-production bin is INBOUND, add the following bins: INBOUND1, INBOUND2, INBOUND3, INBOUND4, INBOUND5, INBOUND6, and INBOUND7.
Choose OK.
To set up locations, work centers, and machine centers to use the Bin+Day algorithm
You must define whether a location, work center, and machine center will use the Bin+Day algorithm.
Open a location, work center, or machine center card.
On the Bins FastTab (location) or the Warehouse FastTab (work and machine center), in the To-Production Bin Algorithm field, select Bin+Day.
Choose OK.
When a production order is refreshed or a production order is created or changed by the planning system, when you look at the Components page, the Bin Code field shows the To-production bin plus the number that represents the start date of the production order. If production was started on Wednesday, the To-production bin would end in 3, for example, INBOUND3.
