Flag insufficient demand#

The Flag insufficient demand in KUMAVISION factory365 extends the production order of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central[^1] with the visualization of planning and capacity availability.

These are available in the overviews of the production orders and in the production order lines ("MRP availability" and "Capacitive availability") as well as in the production order components (only "MRP availability") and the production order routing (only "Capacitive availability") in the status: Planned, Firm Planned and Released.

The Calculate Traffic Light entries function is available in the above overviews to determine the planning and capacity availability.

Setup#

Traffic Light Assigment Setups#

Before you can use the availability traffic light, you must store the symbols required for visualization.

Open Availability traffic light setup via the search. Use "New" in the ribbon to create a data record for each option value and enter the desired symbol (image).

Threshold values#

Threshold values Minimum Threshold % and Maximum Threshold % can be stored hierarchically at the Maschine Center, Work Center and/or the Work Center Groups.

Open the Maschine Center or the Work Center via the search and open the respective card.

You can store the threshold values Minimum Threshold % and Maximum Threshold % on the Traffic Light Control FastTab.

To store the threshold values in the department, call up the Departments via the search and select Edit list".

Further information can be found under: Set up workstations and workstation groups.

Traffic Light Control#

Dispositiv#

MRP availability is determined on the basis of item availability by event and reservations.

The "Remaining stock quantity" field has been added to the item availability by event. The field shows the item availability without planned receipts. The quantity includes all requirements, but does not take into account the expected receipt and is used for the subsequent definition.

Assemblies inherit the worst component result.

The definition of the "dispositive availability traffic light" is regulated as follows:

Option	Description	Definition of	Traffic light symbol Example*
Empty	not calculated
Green	Reservation against stock	Reservation against article items
Green	sufficiently available on date (in stock)	Availability balance: positive or results in 0 Remaining stock: positive or results in 0
Yellow	Reservation against receipt	Reservation against order or relocation
Yellow	Sufficiently available on date (by receipt)	Availability balance: positive or results in 0 Remaining stock: negative
Warning	Reservation against receipt with reservation conflict	Reservation against order or stock transfer with reservation conflict
Red	not available on date	Availability balance: negative

Capacitive#

Without Threshold values#

The basis for determining the capacitive availability is the "capacity" based on the calendar items compared to the "allocated capacity (FA capacity requirement)".

Assemblies inherit the worst component result.

The definition of the "capacitive availability traffic light" without setting threshold values is regulated as follows:

Option	Description "without threshold values"	Traffic light symbol Example*
Empty	not calculated
Green	"Allocated capacity" is less than or equal to the "Capacity"
Red	"Allocated capacity" is greater than "Capacity"

With Threshold values#

The basis for determining the capacity availability is the "Capacity (min.)" and "Capacity (max.)", which are calculated using the "Capacity" based on the calendar items and the threshold values "Capacity (min.) %" and "Capacity (max.) %" stored at the department, work center group or work center, compared to the "Assigned capacity (FA capacity requirement)".

The calculation is made with the "Calculate availability traffic light" as follows:

Assemblies inherit the "worse" component result.

The definition of the "Capacitive availability traffic light" with the establishment of threshold values is defined as follows:

Option	Description "with threshold value"	Traffic light symbol Example*
Empty	not calculated
Green	"Allocated capacity" is less than the "Capacity (min.)"
Yellow	"Allocated capacity" is equal to or greater than the "Capacity (min.)" and less than or equal to the "Capacity (max.)"
Red	"Allocated capacity" is greater than the "Capacity (max.)"
