Hi, we have a separate shop-floor that handles the assembly job tracking, QA etc., But we would like to capture some level of Job detail in AX 2012 as part of the production. At minimum there will be 1 or 2 jobs per production assembly (even 1) and that will be common across all the production BOM. We thought of creating one route card for all of the item BOM and use operational scheduling method to capture the hours took to complete the job. We could use a Route associated with Item BOM. We are not experienced with setting up resource requirements and we don't want to track at the individual resource level. Just a generic level or even none would be preferred to start off with and then later on as we move into future phases we can customize.
Now, question is whether do we need to set up the route in order to define the production lead time? this is critical for the master planning to accurately plan the PO and production orders.
If we go with a route, what is the bare minimum we need to take in to account, assuming that we want to see the hours per job and there is 1 or two jobs at the most that will common for all assembly? When I set up a route, i see cost categories, resource group etc., do we really need to define them? If so, can some on point me a simple way to do that?
We are planning to use the DMF beta 2 to import the Item and BOM. Since we use the PLM software to design and maintain the BOM and version, I believe we don't need to create product master and variants. We use the released product section to create item of type BOM, phantom or raw materials. I am looking at the Demo Files from the Data migration Framework and am bit confused as to which files to select to preview the data?
Would appreciate your feedback. Thank You
