MB-335 key terms

A record holding the shared identity of an item, such as item number, name, and unit of measure, before any variant or dimension combination is created from it.

The company-specific version of a product master or standalone product that can be used in transactions for a legal entity, carrying its own item model group, storage, and tracking settings.

A specific combination of product dimensions, such as size and color, created under a product master so that each combination can be planned, priced, and stocked separately.

A setup record that determines which dimensions (configuration, size, color, style) are active for a product and whether they are used for pricing search or storage dimensions.

A setup that controls which inventory dimensions (site, warehouse, location, inventory status) are active for a product and which of them are covered by inventory transactions.

A setup that determines whether batch and serial numbers are used for a product and whether those numbers are active, physical, or financial in inventory transactions.

A setup record that controls inventory valuation and costing behavior for a released product, including negative inventory, physical and financial updates, and whether standard cost or another method applies.

A user-defined status such as draft, active, or discontinued that can be assigned to released products and used to restrict which products appear in sales or purchasing processes.

A process that automatically generates all valid dimension combinations for a product master based on the active dimensions and the allowed values defined for each dimension.

A structured list of the components and quantities required to produce a parent item, including scrap and resource consumption, used for planning and production costing.

A single row in a bill of materials identifying a component item, its quantity per parent, unit, scrap percentage, and effective dates for the component relationship.

A dated, status-controlled version of a bill of materials that allows different component structures for the same item over time or for different sites.

A sequence of operations performed to manufacture an item, defining where work happens, how long each operation takes, and which resources are required.

A single step in a route with a defined operation number, resource requirement, time, and quantity, executed in sequence relative to other operations.

A dated, status-controlled version of a route that determines which operation sequence applies for an item at a given site and date.

A reusable master record describing a manufacturing activity, such as assembly or painting, that can be assigned to route operations and linked to resource requirements.

A machine, tool, worker, or vendor that performs production work and is scheduled and costed through routes and resource requirements.

A category of resources with shared capacity and costing characteristics, used to simplify scheduling and cost rate assignment for similar production assets.

A record attached to an operation specifying which resource or resource group is needed, the quantity, and how the requirement is used for scheduling and capacity.

A classification used to group production costs, such as labor or machine time, so that route operations and resources can be costed and reported consistently.

A document authorizing the manufacture of a specified quantity of an item on a date, carrying status, BOM and route references, and scheduling information.

The lifecycle state of a production order, such as created, estimated, scheduled, released, started, reported as finished, or ended, which controls which transactions are allowed.

The production step that calculates material and capacity requirements and costs for a production order, producing estimate transactions before the order is released.

The process that makes a released production order visible to warehouse management so that raw material picking work can be generated and executed.

The production transaction that records completed output of a production order, consuming components and receiving finished goods into inventory.

The final production step that closes the order, settles variances to the general ledger, and prevents further transactions against the order.

The route selected for a specific production order, based on the item, site, and date, which determines the operations and resources the order will use.

A scheduling method that plans individual route operations on specific resources with exact start and end times, respecting resource capacity and operation dependencies.

A scheduling method that plans a production order by operation at a coarser level, assigning start and end dates per operation without detailed resource-level timing.

A lean replenishment signal that authorizes production or transfer of a quantity of material, driven by rules and cards rather than a fixed production order.

A configuration that defines the trigger, quantity, and replenishment activity for kanban cards, such as a production rule tied to a BOM and route.

The planning engine that calculates net requirements and generates planned orders for production, purchase, and transfer based on demand, supply, and coverage settings.

A suggested production, purchase, or transfer order generated by master planning that becomes a firm order when firmed or when the planning run creates it automatically.

A setup that defines how master planning replenishes an item, including coverage code, lead time, safety stock, and whether negative days are allowed.

A buffer quantity kept on hand to absorb demand or supply variability, defined per item and warehouse through coverage settings and used by master planning.

A production mode where items are made in distinct quantities or batches, typically using production orders with BOMs and routes.

A production mode for formulas and bulk materials, using formula versions, co-products, and by-products instead of discrete BOM lines for output.

The process-manufacturing equivalent of a bill of materials, listing ingredients and quantities for a batch and supporting versioning, co-products, and by-products.

An output produced alongside the main formula item that carries a share of the production cost and may have its own planning and inventory treatment.

A secondary output of a production process that is received into inventory at a defined value but does not share the main production cost the way a co-product does.

Material or time lost during production, configured as a constant or variable percentage on BOM lines and route operations so planning and costing account for it.
