Project Manufacturing features integrate Costpoint with Shop Floor Time (SFT) and Manufacturing Execution (MES), which provide you with the ability to maximize efficiencies on the manufacturing floor.
Anew Manage Plants screen has been introduced to establish plants that will be used for MES and/or SFT. Each instance of Manufacturing Execution or Shop Floor Time is assigned to a plant location. However, the same MES/SFT instances can be linked to multiple plants. The plant ID is associated with a specific MES and/or SFT. Once established, plant IDs can be assigned to employees, work centers, and warehouses so that data can be segregated by plant when exported to SFT or MES.
Plants are assigned to companies, but are unique within Costpoint. The same plant ID cannot be set up for more than one company. Also, the same Shop Floor Time and Manufacturing Execution connections cannot be assigned to different companies.
Two new fields have been added to the Manage Warehouses screen:
Plant — Enter, or click to select, the plant associated with the work center.
Plant Name — This field displays the plant name.
