Production Restrictions | BG_RESTR_002

Here, we will look at the specification of Production Restrictions. These are a way of allocating the amount of time it takes to produce a product, as well as which days you can and cannot work on the production of the output. For example, if your office is shut on weekends and you will have nobody around to operate the machines. Production restrictions are now configured against either the product variant directly OR the product group if it is being used.

00:00:08:09 - 00:00:08:17
Here.

00:00:08:17 - 00:00:12:07
We'll take a look at the specification
of production restrictions.

00:00:12:24 - 00:00:15:09
So these are a way of allocating
the amount of time

00:00:15:09 - 00:00:20:09
it takes to produce a product
as well as which days

00:00:20:09 - 00:00:23:28
you can and cannot work on the production
of the output.

00:00:24:18 - 00:00:28:09
For example, if your office is shut
on weekends and you'll have nobody around

00:00:28:09 - 00:00:33:04
to operate the machines,
then we don't want that to be included.

00:00:33:29 - 00:00:36:09
Production
restrictions are configured against

00:00:36:09 - 00:00:39:22
either the product variant directly
or the product group.

00:00:40:04 - 00:00:42:19
It's being used within.

00:00:43:26 - 00:00:45:24
So the first thing we're going to do
is navigate

00:00:45:24 - 00:00:55:28
to our production restrictions.

00:00:58:02 - 00:01:01:16
So rather than a series of tick boxes
for you to define the production

00:01:01:16 - 00:01:06:12
restriction on a per product basis, we've
introduced a much more global concept.

00:01:06:27 - 00:01:11:02
So you set up your restrictions
by heading to this screen here.

00:01:11:03 - 00:01:15:20
So the production restrictions in here,
you can create as many combinations

00:01:15:20 - 00:01:16:24
as you desire.

00:01:16:24 - 00:01:19:17
And then you apply this restriction
or whichever

00:01:19:24 - 00:01:24:00
restriction you want to either
the product or the product group level

00:01:26:23 - 00:01:28:20
to create a new production restriction.

00:01:28:20 - 00:01:32:02
We just go to add new record and define

00:01:32:02 - 00:01:38:17
the name, click insert

00:01:40:24 - 00:01:50:04
and then go to configure.

00:01:50:22 - 00:01:54:13
So production restrictions
effectively serve as sets of safe

00:01:54:14 - 00:01:57:15
delivery countdown configurations,
which can be applied

00:01:57:15 - 00:02:00:08
to multiple products at once,
if you wish to do so.

00:02:01:03 - 00:02:03:10
So going through some of the settings.

00:02:03:18 - 00:02:05:18
First off, we have the deadline hour.

00:02:06:01 - 00:02:09:13
So this is the deadline
for that particular order

00:02:09:19 - 00:02:14:06
that the customer is placing effectively
any orders placed after this hour.

00:02:14:06 - 00:02:16:08
So it's a 24 hour clock basis.

00:02:16:19 - 00:02:19:19
We'll have their execution
start on the following day.

00:02:19:28 - 00:02:23:22
So we'll add another day
to the delivery time.

00:02:23:27 - 00:02:26:10
So, for example, if I put 15 in here,

00:02:28:03 - 00:02:30:11
any order which comes in after 3 p.m.

00:02:30:18 - 00:02:33:07
will start on the following day.

00:02:37:09 - 00:02:40:01
Next, we have an execution offset.

00:02:40:12 - 00:02:43:02
So this is a value in number of days.

00:02:43:02 - 00:02:45:00
So whole number of days.

00:02:45:00 - 00:02:50:14
So a product may take 24 hours
to manufacture due to several components,

00:02:50:14 - 00:02:51:09
let's say.

00:02:51:09 - 00:02:55:21
So if you typed one into this field,
it would then add an additional day

00:02:55:27 - 00:02:57:28
for production

00:03:02:22 - 00:03:03:15
if desired.

00:03:03:15 - 00:03:06:17
You do have the ability
to specify execution

00:03:06:17 - 00:03:10:03
offset tiers as well.

00:03:12:17 - 00:03:15:04
So this allows you to increase or decrease

00:03:15:04 - 00:03:19:03
the execution offset based on the quantity
which has been ordered.

00:03:19:16 - 00:03:23:03
So multiple tiers can be specified
for each production restriction.

00:03:23:27 - 00:03:26:20
So for example, if I say

00:03:26:20 - 00:03:29:27
if we have a quantity of 100
and the offset,

00:03:29:27 - 00:03:35:13
there is going to be two days
instead of one going into that number.

00:03:40:06 - 00:03:41:22
We can insert as many tiers

00:03:41:22 - 00:03:44:02
as we like.

00:03:45:19 - 00:03:47:29
So then we can specify days to skip.

00:03:48:00 - 00:03:51:26
So these days are used to mark
which days you are not able to work

00:03:51:26 - 00:03:55:25
on the production of the output
such as weekends if the office is shut

00:03:56:16 - 00:03:59:20
out of daily delivery,
countdown estimation accordingly.

00:04:00:14 - 00:04:03:12
So I could say, for example, skip
Saturday and Skip Sunday.

00:04:03:27 - 00:04:06:17
Now, if an order is placed on Friday

00:04:07:00 - 00:04:11:13
with an execution offset of one day,
then it will not say.

00:04:11:13 - 00:04:13:20
It will be produced on Saturday.

00:04:13:20 - 00:04:18:03
It will skip those two days
and go to the following Monday.

00:04:20:03 - 00:04:21:29
We then have the ability to specify

00:04:21:29 - 00:04:24:03
from your configured calendars.

00:04:25:10 - 00:04:27:29
So calendars
and that configuration has been covered

00:04:27:29 - 00:04:30:22
in a different tutorial video.

00:04:30:22 - 00:04:34:12
Effectively, you're
now able to assign days on the calendar

00:04:34:22 - 00:04:37:19
wherein
you are not able to work on production.

00:04:37:25 - 00:04:40:19
So this could be public holidays or

00:04:40:19 - 00:04:43:18
maybe when your machinery is down
for servicing, for example,

00:04:44:14 - 00:04:47:17
by assigning a calendar
to the restriction, the restriction

00:04:47:17 - 00:04:53:15
calculation will now take all configured
calendar days into account.

00:04:55:17 - 00:04:56:00
And that's the

00:04:56:00 - 00:04:58:25
specification of the production
restriction completed.

00:04:59:12 - 00:05:05:22
We'll just go ahead and click Save.
