Manage production codes for a production control job

Production codes link items or groups of items in an estimating job to items or groups of items in a production control job. They are used to group together material with similar work and to apply labor averages from estimating to the production control bill of materials.

Production codes exist on several levels:

  • Global: Production codes that can be used in all jobs in both Production Control and Estimating
  • Estimate-Specific: Production codes that can only be used within a specific estimating job and the linked production control job.
  • Production Control-Specific: Production codes only for the production control job

Production codes can be as broad or as specific as you like. For example, you can use one production code for the entire estimating job to add the labor estimates to the production control job. The hours will then be calculated based on all the work that must be done for the entire job. However, you can also set every piece mark to have its own production code, so that hours in the estimating job and in the production control job match for each item.

You can set this in Use as Production Code as default behavior when importing an estimating job. See Define company standard settings for Production Control.

You can override the estimated hours and use aggregate units to calculate the planned labor time on a job. This labor time can then be used in production schedules and project schedules.

We recommend that you assign matching production codes to parts in both Estimating and Production Control. This way, you can view the planned and executed labor times in the project schedule.

Access the PDC Production Codes dialog box

  1. In the Select Production Control Job dialog box, open a job and click the Production Control ribbon tab.
  2. On the menu, select Review > Production Codes.

The PDC Production Codes dialog box opens.

Show Production Codes: Select an option to filter the production codes that are displayed:

  • Global: Production codes that can be used in all jobs in both Production Control and Estimating
  • Estimate-Specific: Production codes that can only be used within a specific estimating job and the linked production control job.
  • Production Control-Specific: Production codes only for the production control job
  • In Use: Production codes that are in use

Override Hours: Select if you want to use aggregate units for the planned hours instead of the original estimated hours. Then type the hours in the field.

However, if the manual override is used, the labor information does not include labor group percentages. Therefore, the labor group percentages cannot be applied to any production control stations.

Further, the information cannot be applied to tasks in the project schedule and to resources that feed information to the production schedule.

Manually overriding hours can also prevent you from comparing the linked production control job with the estimating job.

An override applied in a production control job does not affect the estimate nor global information. The estimated hours are always created in the estimate. They are not overwritten by the production code properties.

Aggregate Units: Select the suitable units in the drop-down menu.

See Define input settings in Define company standard settings for Production Control.

The hours associated with the production codes are only used in Production Control. Production codes do not affect or apply labor to estimating items.
