Documentation

Definition

Indicator that checks whether the actual end date has been set before the actual start date in the production order.

Dependencies

The actual start date is set when the production order is confirmed for the first time. The actual finish date is set by the goods receipt for the production order.

Example

The goods receipt is posted to a production order, yet the first completion confirmation does not occur until days later. In this case the production order has an actual finish date, which is before the actual start date. This leads to problems in the Shop Floor Information System with the calculation of actual lead time and actual queue time.

In the update definition, you can formulate the following condition to check the plausibility indicator:

MCAFPO-PLCHK2P NE TRUE

If this condition is used, the system updates only production orders whose actual finish date was reported after the actual start date.
