The relationship between operational and accounting

Accounting data is used to automatically calculate the total cost of production (including indirect costs) and determine the financial result. All operational accounting operations are automatically reflected in accounting records for an arbitrary period. It is possible to generate detailed transactions for each business transaction and summary transactions for the period

Tax accounting is implemented in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 25 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation

Includes

  • the procedure for determining and classifying income;
  • the procedure for determining and classifying expenses;
  • the procedure for organizing tax accounting of income and expenses;
  • the procedure for determining and calculating the tax base;
  • maintenance (formation) of analytical tax accounting registers.

When registering business transactions for tax accounting, the program uses accounting data. This avoids having to re-enter data manually. In addition to reflecting individual business transactions for tax accounting purposes, the configuration implements automatic execution of many regulatory operations. The formation of tax registers according to the procedure for maintaining and the composition of indicators complies with the recommendations of the Ministry of Taxes of the Russian Federation. The configuration includes a corporate income tax return, which is automatically filled out based on tax accounting data. At all stages of preparation, tax accounting and declaration generation, manual data adjustment is possible. The implementation of tax accounting is focused mainly on enterprises that maintain accrual accounting.

Reports

The configuration includes a variety of reports designed to obtain both management and accounting information. Operational accounting reports allow you to quickly obtain information such as inventory balances, work in progress, debt from counterparties, as well as conduct a detailed analysis of product costs, mutual settlements, plans, etc.

The configuration includes the following management reports:

  • Product cost analysis
  • Manufacturing costs and work in progress
  • Material shortage sheet
  • Warehouse accounting of inventories
  • Mutual settlements with buyers and suppliers
  • Execution of customer orders
  • Production plan
  • and others

A set of reports for analyzing balances and movements in accounting accounts allows an accountant to easily navigate transactions. These reports include:

  • Turnover balance sheet
  • main book
  • Account card
  • and others

A full set of accounting and tax regulated reports makes it much easier to submit reports.

Application configuration features

  • Work in progress is assessed at the cost of costs, taking into account the share of indirect costs, and remains entirely with the enterprise
  • Sales of finished products are carried out from the finished products warehouse
  • Accounting for the cost of products (works, services) and work in progress balances is carried out in the context of types of products (works, services), divisions, orders for production (with custom accounting), items and types of costs
  • Records for one organization are kept in one information base, records for several organizations can be kept in different information bases

Additional features

Flexibility and customizability The configuration can be adapted to any accounting features at a particular enterprise. This means the ability to enter your own accounting mechanisms into the configuration and configure the reflection of any specific business transactions in accounting. It is also possible to create the necessary additional analytical reports for the needs of the enterprise. Data exchange For a more complete and detailed salary calculation, it is possible to exchange data with the 1C:Enterprise 7.7 “Salary + Personnel” configuration. This allows you to obtain from the configuration in which full payroll is calculated the necessary information for calculating the cost of production. Internet support The online user support mechanism allows you to quickly receive exchange rates and a classifier of Russian banks. With its help, you can send a question to the consultation line or your opinion about using the program. ITS disk subscribers can receive configuration updates and new reporting forms.

System requirements

To use the “Production+Services+Accounting” configuration, you must have two components of the “1C:Enterprise” system: “Operational Accounting” and “Accounting”. The configuration itself and the specified components are part of the product “1C:Enterprise 7.7. A set for a small company" and a comprehensive delivery of "1C:Enterprise". If the “Production+Services+Accounting” configuration is purchased separately, you must additionally purchase two “1C:Enterprise” products, including the “Operational Accounting” and “Accounting” components.

In this article we will talk about the ERP system “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”. When automating manufacturing companies, this product often turns out to be the optimal solution, and I have been involved in the implementation of 1C UPP for different organizations more than once.

While working, I noticed that there are practically no reviews of this software product. There are technical documentation, some advice for programmers on solving specific problems in this system, and training courses. But for users there is no clear description of the entire system. And very often, before implementing this software product, I have to explain the features, advantages and disadvantages of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” practically “on my fingers”.

Even on Habré in the ERP section there was still no information about this system. It was this gap that I decided to fill. In addition, I hope that my article will help entrepreneurs and IT specialists at the stage of choosing software for automating a manufacturing enterprise and prepare them for the features that need to be taken into account when implementing this system.

In this review I want to tell you what the UPP ed. system is. 1.3, so that whoever decides to buy and implement it is more aware and more conscious in choosing this expensive product. I will try to give an objective assessment of the system, based on my experience with it and the experience of my clients. This review will help someone make a positive decision regarding the purchase of the program, and someone will decide to abandon it.

In order to understand the features of a software product, you need to answer the following questions:

  1. What is the system, what tasks are set for it.
  2. How capable is this system of performing its assigned tasks?
  3. Identify the pros and cons of the system.
The first thing that is very important to understand: 1C. Manufacturing enterprise management is not just an accounting system; during its development, modern methods of enterprise management were taken into account, and therefore this product is offered for use, including as an ERP system. Further, from the name it follows that this particular product is intended for production-type enterprises. It is from this point of view that I intend to consider the 1C UPP software product.

What is an ERP system?

The ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is a corporate information system that is designed to control, record and analyze all types of business processes and solve business problems on an enterprise scale.

Simply put, the ERP system combines all types of accounting that are present in the company. Using ERP systems, information is exchanged and interaction is carried out between different departments, etc. In the case of the ERP system “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”, the software product offers the implementation of all these functions for a manufacturing company.

When implementing the “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” product, the developers tried to combine the maximum possible list of functions in the system. If you look at the documents, you can count as many as 15 subsystems. The fact is that in 1C documents are grouped into subsystems:

  • Manufacturing control
  • Cost management
  • Procurement management
  • Planning
  • Tax and accounting
  • Wage
  • Personnel accounting, etc.
Those. We tried to include in this system all the functions that may be required for the operation of a manufacturing enterprise. This is exactly how the 1C company positions its ERP system: it already has everything you need to automate any processes without using other software products.


The screenshot I took clearly shows that a very small part of the documents relates directly to production. All other documents are additional subsystems designed to make “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” a universal solution for the work of all departments. I don’t see any point in considering all these possibilities in detail, but it is important that each of the subsystems works efficiently and fully and can solve the needs of a specific business. In this article we will dwell in detail on the block that distinguishes UPP from other 1c - Production Management solutions.

1C UPP: more about the product

The 1C company positions “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” as one of its flagship products. This is a typical configuration from 1C, i.e. the software product is completely produced by 1C itself, and any modifications to the system must be carried out by official 1C partners. UPP is one of the configurations that is constantly supported by 1C; updates are released for it, etc.

For this standard configuration, many modified, so-called industry versions have been created: 1C.Mechanical Engineering, 1C.Meat Processing Plant, 1C.Furniture Production, 1C.Printing, etc.

Industry solutions are created by 1C partner companies based on the basic configuration. This usually happens as follows: modifications are made for a specific customer, after which they are “assembled” into a new version intended for the selected industry. The modified configuration is named after the industry for which it was written and is sold as a “boxed solution.”

Product cost

In order to work with this configuration, you must purchase the product itself. The recommended price from the 1C company is 186,000 rubles. And the licensing of this software product is carried out on a common basis for 1C, i.e. users of other 1C products may not purchase any separate licenses for this system.
Any license, for example, from 1C Accounting or from 1C Trade and Warehouse is suitable for this system. Naturally, the cost of licenses for these products is the same.

It is important to understand: for industry solutions, 1C partner companies may require their own separate licenses. And here the price may differ from the basic version.

As when working with other products, licensing is carried out according to one of the options accepted in 1C: for a computer (device) and for a user (connections from any device). I will not go into detail here, since all the information is on the 1C website. You can get acquainted with it at the link: http://v8.1c.ru/enterprise/

A lot has been written about the 1C program itself. I have also already written about this platform, for example, in the article “Why 1C is bad and why 1C programmers are so disliked.” Taking into account the fact that the “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” system operates on the basis of 1C. Enterprise 8.3, all the advantages and disadvantages of the basic software are also present in it.

Let's take a closer look at the configuration

In the book “Production and Operations Management” by R.B. Chase, F.R. Jacobs, N.J. Aquilano, I liked the list of tasks that are posed to ERP systems for a manufacturing enterprise:
  1. Keep records of new orders and promptly inform the production department about them.
  2. Provide the sales department with the opportunity to see the status of the customer’s order at any time.
  3. Provide the purchasing department with the opportunity to see production needs for materials at any time.
  4. Providing the state with data on the company’s performance in a timely manner, i.e. maintain accounting and tax records.
Let's look at each of these points in more detail. For clarity, I will use one of my clients as an example - a sewing enterprise that uses the SCP system and is a classic and visual production model. This enterprise has many different departments: design, engineering, production, fabric and accessories storage department, finished product storage department, management department.

Accounting for new orders in the sales department

Order accounting is an integral part of the work of any sales department. Any order consists of several parts:
  1. Customer accounting (to whom the sale is made);
  2. Accounting for goods (what will be sold to the client).
Buyers (clients) are entered into the directory of Counterparties. Clients can be both individuals and legal entities. In the counterparty card, you can indicate all the company’s bank details, telephone numbers, delivery address and other information necessary for processing documents and making a sale.

And detailed information about all goods that can be sold is stored in the Nomenclature directory.


A nomenclature is a directory that is designed to store information about goods and services that can be provided to the buyer. And in this system, nomenclature is one of the most complex reference books.

The following can be stored here:

  • Product Name
  • Series
  • Photos
  • Technical documentation files
  • Description and almost any other information about the product.
Using these directories, a sales department employee creates a Customer Order document, where he indicates the counterparty and a list of items with prices.

Using the example of sewing production, work on an order is divided into the following stages:

  1. Accept orders and record customer needs.
  2. If necessary, purchase material for the order.
  3. Carry out cutting and then sewing of products.
  4. Conduct inspection (quality control) of goods.
  5. Transfer finished products to the warehouse.
  6. Carry out shipment or delivery to the buyer.
So, the first stage of work has been completed: the Customer Order document has been created, which reflects the client’s data and the goods that he needs. Now we need to transfer the information to production.

Notifying production about new orders

Manufacturing should see new orders as soon as they arrive. The 1C UPP configuration, in general, copes with this task. But a counter-problem arises: production should see only those orders that need to be produced. Those. If the order document specifies goods that are already in stock, production is not interested in such an order, and its appearance in the list of documents available for production can create additional confusion.
Production should see orders immediately after they are received, but only that part of the orders for which products need to be produced.

In order to avoid such problems, 1C developers offer the following solution: based on the buyer's order, the sales manager must create a new document - Production Order, which will list the product items that need to be produced.

But this option cannot be called very convenient, since there is one more step in the work, completely dependent on the human factor. Those. After creating an order, the manager may forget to create a production order, make a mistake, and so on. As a result, the required goods will not be delivered to the production plan on time, and the customer will not receive the ordered products on time. Naturally, with full automation of the enterprise, such situations are unacceptable. On the other hand, this problem can be completely solved by creating additional processing.

We have created the following solution for a clothing company. An additional plugin was written that creates a production order automatically based on a certain list of different conditions.

This processing determined whether the required items were in stock. If not, then the next step was to analyze available items in production. If there are no such products or they are scheduled for a date later than specified in the order, a production order is automatically generated.

Conclusion: The system has everything you need to store information about products and customers. It is possible to create an order and transfer it to production. But to fully automate the work, it will still require modification to suit the needs of a specific enterprise.

Status of an order in production

As already mentioned, after an order has entered production, it is necessary to provide the sales department with the opportunity to monitor the status of the order in real time. It is important for the manager of the sales department to know at what stage the work is: whether the ordered goods have already been delivered to work, when it is planned to be completed, etc.

This is implemented in one of two ways:

  1. The sales manager can track at what technological stage the work on the order is: planned, entered into work, at quality control, etc. Thus, a sales specialist can constantly monitor the work on each order and notify the client about deadlines.
  2. A sales period is set for the product, i.e. the date when the list of the required items will be produced, will be tested and will be ready for shipment.
The system does not provide the necessary tools to implement the first option. Reports that are available reflect only the status of orders and goods in stock. For production, if it is necessary to implement stage-by-stage notification, modifications will be needed.
Unfortunately, in the second case, there are no ready-made tools for cases when production may change the order completion date. Only the sales department can make any changes to the shipment date, and upwards. Typically, the manager can reschedule the shipment to a later date, but production will have to be notified of the possibility of changing the timing of the creation of goods manually. Also, if necessary, production cannot postpone the shipment date, even if it becomes possible to complete the order faster.
In the basic configuration, any changes in deadlines and determination of the stage of order fulfillment are carried out manually by employees, as a result of which the unpredictable human factor is included in the work. But here improvements will help solve the issue.

So, for sewing production, we created a summary report that showed: which batch of goods (from which orders) is in production, including, the report shows which batch is in cutting, which is in sewing, and so on. Those. we divided the production processes into stages, and the report displayed the overall picture - which products from which orders are at which stages of production, which are in queue (indicating the start date of work), which are in quality control, which have been sent to the warehouse.

Initially, this report was created for production workers so that they could monitor their work and make adjustments if necessary. But later we opened the same report to the sales department so that managers could also see the status of a particular order.

Conclusion: The configuration does not provide for automatic data exchange between the sales department and production after the order is submitted for processing. But it is possible to implement similar solutions based on this configuration by creating additional reports and processing.

Communication between production and purchasing department

A very important point is to provide production with the necessary materials. At the same time, for correct operation, it is necessary to provide production with everything necessary to fulfill orders and create goods for free sale from the warehouse, and on the other hand, it is necessary that excess materials do not accumulate in the warehouse. Therefore, the supply department must have access to up-to-date information about the amount of materials in the warehouse and current production needs, including a list of materials for orders that are just planned for production.

How this work should happen:

  1. A list of needs is generated.
  2. Based on this list and product specifications, a list of materials necessary for the production of products is formed.
  3. Based on the received list, a procurement plan is formed.
  4. In accordance with the procurement plan, the system generates orders for suppliers.
An important drawback of the system: The purchasing department has no way to see which materials need to be purchased from which suppliers and at what prices. Those. the reports only show general current production needs, and to obtain more detailed information, additional modifications must be made.
The system has a document called the Procurement Plan. It collects information about needs, i.e. about what needs to be purchased to ensure production and in what quantity, as it should be in a classic MRP system.


MRP (Material Requirements Planning)– this is automated planning of the enterprise’s needs for raw materials and supplies for production. Planning is done based on specifications.

Specification (Bill of Material) is a reference book that describes all the parameters of a particular material, its qualities, features, tolerances. For a finished product or “semi-finished product,” the specification indicates what the product consists of.

The production of each product requires certain materials and semi-finished products. Materials can be ordered immediately based on specifications. For semi-finished products, it is necessary to take the next step - to figure out what materials, in turn, this or that semi-finished product consists of. And also add the necessary materials to the order.

Thus, each finished product is automatically divided into materials using several steps. For example:

The suit consists of trousers, a jacket and packaging (package). Trousers and a jacket are semi-finished products that need to be decomposed in the next step; to create a package, the material can be immediately added to purchases. In the second step, the trousers are “divided” into different types of fabric, thread, zipper, and buttons. Similarly, a jacket also consists of different types of fabric, threads and buttons. All these materials are added to the purchasing plan.

Now you can proceed to select a supplier for each of the materials and create an order. All of the above stages in the SCP system are not automated, and therefore some modifications will be required to solve the problem. At the same time, the configuration provides the ability to store all requirements, and there is also the ability to collect procurement information. But in the basic version, they all require human intervention, which reduces the level of convenience and reliability. Therefore, external processing will also be very useful here, especially since all the data and access to it are available in the system.

For sewing production, we solved the issue as follows. Based on the report developed for production, as well as information on orders, the need for the necessary materials was automatically calculated. Next, materials stored in the warehouse were subtracted from this list, and a report was created with the help of which purchases could be made. Suppliers then tell you how quickly they can deliver the materials. And this information is manually entered into the system, on the basis of which sellers will be able to notify customers about the timing of order production.

Accounting and tax reporting in a “box solution”

The typical configuration of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management”, as conceived by the developers, should collect all the information necessary for accounting and tax reporting and create all the reporting necessary for the work of the accounting department.
And here this configuration has a very large “Achilles heel”. The fact is that in each document there are three checkboxes:
  • УУ – document on management accounting;
  • BU - the document is subject to accounting;
  • NU – the document is subject to tax accounting.

Since documents are not separated into different systems, the human factor comes into play. For example, an employee of the purchasing department or a storekeeper, after receiving materials, posts a receipt document. The material is registered. But if he does not check the BU box, then the accountant does not see the document, and he himself posts the invoice based on the tax invoice received by him. As a result, the document is corrected twice by different authors. And if any errors occur, it will be very difficult to identify the culprit.

I don’t know how this problem is solved in different cases. So far, I have come across options where management agreed with this shortcoming and preferred to rely on employees. The only method of protection against human error that has been implemented is to set the default checkboxes. In principle, in the small and medium-sized businesses with which I usually work, this is really enough.

Integration with other software products and systems

Integration is an important stage that is necessary when automating the work of any company, including production. It is necessary to understand that integration is an expensive process that takes a significant amount of time and effort. Since we are talking about a complex multifunctional ERP system, for high-quality automation of processes it will be necessary to obtain a large amount of various data from different sources.

If you look at it from a production point of view, you will definitely need to load data on product release dates, semi-finished products and materials into the system. The purchasing department uploads delivery notes and other receipt documents into the system. The sales department must upload information about orders and so on. In addition, different situations are possible in production, and it is very important that the system promptly receives information about material consumption, defect rates, rescheduling of production due to some difficulties that arose during the work process, etc.

For example, at a sewing enterprise, integration was carried out with a cutting machine. Integration with any CAD, with the company’s website, or with other solutions is also often required. And this stage of work often takes up to 30% of the budget.
At the same time, without such comprehensive solutions, the use of an EPR system will not be effective; you will not be able to reach a new level of control and automation of the enterprise. This is very important to understand.

Any system is only as effective as its weakest link. And if during implementation you refuse to integrate in one case or another, and rely on the human factor, errors will certainly accumulate, and the entire system will become unstable.
For example, if we are talking about designing a new product, then all design documentation should be uploaded from the design system (CAD) to the ERP system automatically. And then, if any questions or difficulties arise, it will always be possible to understand what specific product we are talking about. And designers will be able to make the necessary changes quickly and without errors.

When it comes to production, it is very important to receive timely and error-free information about incoming orders (for example, from a website or from a special order form) that need to be produced, as well as timely and error-free transmission of information about the actual materials used, which will allow work to continue no downtime.

I already mentioned above that at the sewing enterprise it was necessary to integrate with a cutting machine that cut 36 layers of fabric simultaneously; it was necessary to obtain information about the scraps, the amount of scrap, and distribute this scrap among the cost of the entire batch of products. Accordingly, an add-on was required that directly integrated with the machine so that the system understood the data that came out of it and sent data to the machine in a format that it could understand. In addition, processing was required for the data received from the machine to calculate defects and product costs.

Also, in many other cases, relying on the human factor is unacceptable, since errors, inaccuracies in the system, and untimely entry of information lead to disruptions in work. Therefore, integration is, of course, not a quick and expensive process, but it is necessary to improve the quality of work.

Industry solutions

In addition to the basic configuration of 1C. There are a significant number of industry solutions for SCP. They are created by 1C partner companies based on the basic configuration. Most often, such solutions appear as a result of the implementation of 1C.UPP for some manufacturing enterprise. After that, the modified version of the configuration for a particular industry is slightly modified and offered as a ready-made industry solution to customers.

Now on the 1C website you can find such configurations for almost any industry. But it is very important to understand the following points:

  1. The configuration was modified to suit the needs of a specific enterprise. And there is no guarantee that this approach will be right for your company. For example, dairy production can create cottage cheese and sour cream by weight, or it can package these products in certain containers. It can produce milk, kefir and fermented baked milk, or it can specialize in yoghurts and desserts. Each of these cases will require different modifications. And it’s not a fact that those offered in the basic version from partners will suit you.
  2. Industry configurations are carried out by partner companies on the basis of the main one, while significant changes are made to the configuration itself. Therefore, updates for the basic version of 1C. Soft starters are not suitable for an industry configuration. Users will have to wait until the 1C partner company also updates the industry version.

A few words about 1C. UPP ERP 2.0

There is also a separate 1C configuration. UPP ERP 2.0, to which significant improvements and additions were made necessary to automate the management of a manufacturing enterprise. Those. this configuration is positioned not just as a complete solution, but as a universal solution for a manufacturing enterprise that includes a full-fledged ERP system.

This system is also created on the basis of 1C, the configuration is also comprehensive, not modular. Therefore, all the features of 1C products, in principle, as well as the problems encountered when implementing complex 1C configurations, are also inherent in this system.

On the one hand, version 1C. UPP ERP 2.0 really features an expanded set of functions, primarily related to automation and management issues. But this software product was created relatively recently. And I believe that it is too early to switch to this version due to the fact that it has not yet been fully developed.

It is constantly updated with new features, new reference books, documents, reports, unlike 1C. UPP, to which updates only include corrections of identified bugs and updates to accounting and tax reporting related to changes in legislation.

In addition, the 1C system. UPP ERP 2.0 is much more expensive than the 1C configuration. UPP.

Pros and cons of the 1C UPP system

The system is truly comprehensive and, with appropriate modification, it can perform the functions of managing a production enterprise of a certain type. It is also important to understand that each industry will require different improvements. If the system was created for sewing clothes, it will not be suitable for a dairy production enterprise. Of course, you can also use industry solutions, but I personally do not recommend using such solutions.

Simply because if the standard configuration of “Manufacturing Enterprise Management” does not suit you in many respects, then industry solutions will not suit you either. In this case, it will be easier to choose another product or actually order a custom solution. And if the standard configuration suits you for the most part, then the number of modifications and settings to suit the characteristics of a particular business for a standard solution and an industry-specific one will differ little.

An important disadvantage of the system is the lack of modularity. Those. To solve certain problems, you can create certain processing or reports, “add-ons” to the system. They will work, but the basic solutions will remain untouched. But if for some purpose you need to make changes to the work of documents or reference books, you will need to make changes to all subsystems that exist in the configuration.

Due to the lack of modularity in this system, it is impossible to make any significant adjustments to accounting or, for example, to the work of warehouse accounting without significant changes to documents and directories intended for other departments. They are all connected and work with the same reference books and documents. However, this feature is widely known, as it is inherent in all software products from 1C.

That’s why no one usually makes significant improvements to this system; they try to make do with external processing, reports and other add-ons. Industry solutions are most often just a variation of a set of add-ons that was created for a specific enterprise related to a specified area. And you will still need some modifications, the cost of which differs little from modifications to the basic configuration. But the reliability of a standard solution is always higher than products from partner companies.

Conclusion. If you are satisfied with the basic system configuration, it is best to buy and install it. But at the same time, it is very important that the implementation of the system is carried out by experienced specialists who will be able to not only configure the software, but also make all the necessary improvements for your business, reports, and carry out integration with other software products and systems.

With the right approach, the 1C Manufacturing Enterprise Management system becomes an excellent tool that will allow you to achieve a high level of automation of business processes and coordination of the work of different departments of the company.

As a conclusion, I want to give some advice to those who have decided to purchase and implement the program “1C: Manufacturing Enterprise Management 8 edition 1.3”:
1. Choose a strategy
SCP is a complex and large product that claims to be universal. The product is expensive, and I'm talking here not only about the acquisition cost, but also about the cost of owning the program - qualified specialists are expensive, and there are very few of them. Choose a strategy and determine why you are buying this particular program and how you will use it, what you are going to do with it next.

What are the strategies? One of my clients chose this configuration because “it is the only system that has everything.” This enterprise worked in several systems: 1c, Excel, etc. - they decided to take one system to consolidate accounting.

Another company, which was developing production, wanted to control work in progress - they were worried about accounting for materials in production. This is also a strategy.

2. Consider integration
Integration must be thought through initially in order to assess what financial and time resources will be spent on its implementation. An objective assessment of this fact can influence the decision whether to purchase this program or give preference to another product.
3. Assess the need for SCP in terms of the size of the company
SCP is not suitable for every company. I saw a company that employed 15 people. They somehow “inherited” the SCP system, but implementation and modification cost a lot of money, and in the end they never switched to SCP. You must understand that if your company is not sufficiently prepared to work with such a complex product, then it will not have any effect. I do not recommend this configuration for a small company.
4. Assess the need for SCP from an industry perspective
Although 1c writes that UPP is a universal solution, one must understand that it is only suitable for assembly production, which involves assembling one whole product from several parts. For the production of, for example, building materials and mixtures, this configuration was not suitable.

Introduction

In recent years, Russia has taken a course towards developing its own production. The state defense order is being actively financed; the fall in the ruble exchange rate has made it profitable to open new production enterprises.

In this regard, there is a growing need for software solutions that could comprehensively automate such enterprises.

If you look at the number of implementations of ERP systems on the Russian market, the main manufacturers of software for complex automation of enterprise management will be 1C and the well-known Western system.

It is traditionally believed that the products of a Western vendor are qualitatively superior to 1C in terms of resource planning. There is an opinion that the products of the 1C company are accounting systems in their purest form, and if it comes to the need to calculate a production schedule or determine the planned need for personnel or material resources, then you either need to purchase something “more serious”, well or significantly modify the standard 1C configuration.

There is a certain amount of truth here - the evolutionary software products of the 1C company originate from the needs of Russian accounting, and this is really, first of all, accounting, and here the primacy of 1C is undeniable. But already in 2005, the 1C company released the 1C: Manufacturing Enterprise Management configuration, which supported MRP standards, and to some extent, MRP2 standards.

“1C: Manufacturing Enterprise Management” turned out to be a fairly popular product on the market. It combined the traditional reliability and quality of 1C accounting systems and provided intuitive tools for planning resource requirements. First of all, material resources - raw materials, semi-finished products, etc.

Along with the subsystem for material planning of production needs, the program implemented a budgeting subsystem. Now it was no longer possible to say that 1C configurations are just accounting systems.

And in 2013, the 1C company released a completely new software solution for complex automation of industrial enterprises - “1C: ERP Enterprise Management 2”.

The solution turned out to be so innovative that the automation concept proposed in it, at a certain point, was ahead of the market needs. In the program, the main emphasis was placed on planning and, only a consequence of the established plan, was the operational activities of the enterprise and its accounting. Moreover, the formation of accounting entries is not carried out online at all. The accountant forms the accounting policy of the enterprise (rules for maintaining routine accounting), and then becomes only a controller who is involved at the final stage of work, when plans are established, implemented, and regulatory reporting needs to be prepared.

To call such a solution just another accounting program from 1C is absolutely wrong.

“1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2” is in the full sense an ERP-class management system.

But this caused its own difficulties. Many enterprises were not ready for this. During the first 1C:ERP implementation projects, customers had quite a lot of complaints about the system.

The reasons for the complaints are mainly as follows:

    Traditional expectations that, despite all the novelty, the program will remain an accounting program. If the documents do not generate transactions immediately, then “what kind of program is this???”

    Lack of a planning culture at enterprises.

    Lack of available training materials on the capabilities of the 1C:ERP program.

Reason number one is a matter of tradition and a competent “political” approach to automation: the new program in no way diminishes the importance of the accountant in the enterprise, but only frees him from the routine of operational work, bringing him to the level of a strategist and controller - he determines the rules of regulatory accounting, and then only controls their execution. For this, the program has all the necessary tools, and they are no less reliable than before.

In order to help customers understand the planning mechanisms of 1C:ERP, we, the Razdolye Implementation Center, have prepared several introductory courses on the management subsystems of the program.

This course focuses on production planning. The course allows you to master the program gradually - from simple to complex. We will start with production management in the “a la 1C:UPP” style and move on to using MES mechanisms. The explanation of the program's operating methodology is based on business examples (cases): the task is briefly described, and a description of the abstract enterprise for which the program will be configured is given. Then the necessary document flow and reporting are demonstrated.

The iterative approach of the course does not imply that every enterprise using 1C:ERP is obliged to reach the use of MES mechanisms in its work. You are free to use the system tools that are most convenient for you.

The course does not contain links to the location of certain reference books, documents, reports and other objects in the program. There are practically no pictures or screenshots. In order to “live” see how everything works, a course of thematic video lectures was recorded, links to which are present in the text.

The course does not go deep into technical details that are of interest only to specialists. The main objective of the course is to give the reader a holistic picture of the possibility of using 1C:ERP mechanisms to obtain practical business results.

Who is this course aimed at:

    For managers and specialists of production and economic planning departments.

    For managers and specialists of IT departments, who are faced with the task of choosing a comprehensive enterprise automation system.

    For directors and business owners who are interested in new management tools.

    For everyone who is interested in methods of managing production enterprises.

What problems can an enterprise solve with the help of 1C:ERP using the course materials?

    Familiarize yourself with different options for organizing planning and accounting in production.

    Select a suitable production management methodology.

    Determine next steps to improve enterprise management tools.

Modern production management methods

Before we begin to describe the capabilities of the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program, I would like to give a brief excursion into the terminology and methodology.

Management Standards

Production management can be divided into several sections:

    Planning the needs for material resources (materials, semi-finished products, parts, etc., necessary for production).

    Planning the need for production personnel.

    Planning the need for production equipment.

    Issuance of production tasks according to certain plans.

    Quality control of work performed and products produced.

    Accounting for work results.

One of the simplest production management standards - MRP (Material Requirements Planning) - covers only the planning and accounting of material resources.

A program that complies with the MRP standard must, based on a given production plan and current inventories in warehouses, calculate a plan for the necessary material support (purchases). This standard was supported in the 1C:Manufacturing Enterprise Management configuration and was further developed in 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2.

The MRP standard has evolved over time into a new version - MRP 2. This version has been significantly expanded; now it is necessary to manage not only inventories, but also other production needs (personnel, equipment), control the quality of work, create production tasks, keep records, evaluate work results . Management has moved beyond production and it is now necessary to link production capabilities with supply and marketing capabilities. The needs of the enterprise must correspond to the available amount of financing.

This standard is supported only in one software product of the 1C company - “1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2”.

Organizing work at an enterprise in accordance with this standard requires a comprehensive understanding of all ongoing processes and their interactions. Planning of actions comes to the fore, and only then their execution and accounting.

Within the framework of this manual, the capabilities of the 1C:ERP program will be demonstrated, corresponding only to that part of the MRP2 standard that relates specifically to production. The financial planning capabilities of the program will not be described. Information about purchases, sales, and the warehouse subsystem will be provided to the extent necessary to demonstrate the capabilities of the production management program.

Among the terms above, the main one is missing, which is contained in the name of the program “1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2”. This is ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).

The ERP management standard is a general description of a set of necessary management practices for integrated enterprise management. The production part of this standard is directly linked to the requirements of MRP2.

This standard (ERP) is supported by the 1C:ERP program, at the level of leading foreign software solutions. Due to the fact that the 1C:ERP program appeared quite recently, the most modern requirements for solutions of this class were used in its development, it does not contain the inevitable historical burdens and restrictions inherent in competitors.

Planning methods

Let's imagine that our enterprise looks like this:

    We produce metal structures,

    There are three workshops - procurement, welding and assembly,

    The production chain looks like this:

How can you plan work in such a situation?

The simplest option is to obtain the planned sales volume from the commercial service, draw up a production plan for the assembly shop, based on the needs of the assembly shop, draw up a production plan for the welding shop, then a production plan for the blank shop.

Thus, we have drawn up work plans for all workshops and can begin work.

This approach has a number of obvious limitations:

    If our actual sales are less than planned, we will end up with excess inventory in the finished goods warehouse. The opposite is also true - if demand exceeds the original sales plan, we will not be able to satisfy it and will not receive additional profit.

    Problems in the middle of the production chain can lead to unmarketable inventories of semi-finished products. For example, problems in the welding shop will lead to the fact that finished kits from the procurement shop will accumulate in shop storerooms. And such work of the procurement shop becomes essentially unprofitable - we will not be able to sell the results of its work, accordingly, we waste materials and pay wages to workers without making a profit.

This approach to production planning is called “push”: each production site strives to fulfill its work plan, to “push” the result of its work further along the production chain.

The main feature of the “push” approach to management is the presence of production/supply plans set for a certain period.

A striking example of a “push-out” planning option is the planned economy that existed in the USSR.

An alternative to this approach is the “pull” planning technique.

Let's return to the original example. Let's imagine that we have determined for each workshop a certain standard of production reserves in the workshop storerooms. We have established a similar standard for the finished goods warehouse.

If the inventory volume falls below normal, a replenishment order is generated. For the finished product warehouse, a replenishment task is generated for the assembly shop (an order for the production of finished products), from the assembly shop the task goes to the welding shop, and so on along the production chain.

We, as it were, “pull out” the necessary material flows, starting from our actual sales.

There are a number of production management concepts based on the “pull” method of planning:

    Lean production

    Just in Time (JIT),

This planning technique is considered the most optimal in terms of the material resources involved. We do not waste materials; every production has a specific purpose - sales.

But there are also certain disadvantages:

    Potentially, we are not maximizing production capacity (work is carried out only if necessary).

    The technique is difficult to implement - you need to correctly determine the volume of standard reserves in order to compensate for fluctuations in demand.

At the moment, the “pull” method of planning is considered the most progressive and cost-effective, but it is quite “knowledge-intensive” - the enterprise must quickly balance demand, production load, material flows and inventories.

“1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2” supports both “push” and “pull” options for constructing plans.

Planning levels

Each production workshop most often includes a number of production areas.

Production areas for our welding shop can be, for example, automated welding lines on which components of future metal structures are manufactured. Let’s assume that we have three such lines in our workshop, for different types of components, that is, three production areas.

The production plan handed over to the welding shop contains a list of required components, but does not contain specific instructions on which section should produce which component. This is simply a release plan for a certain period. Such a plan is also called an “inter-shop plan.”

At the moment when the question arises about in which areas, what work will be performed and at what point this should happen, we are already talking about the intra-shop plan.

In other words, we have two levels of planning:

    Top-level plans are inter-shop plans; they contain production volumes for the workshop as a whole.

    Intra-shop plans, which decipher the plans of the workshop to the production tasks of a specific work area.

This approach, of course, is quite conditional. Nothing prevents us from immediately drawing up a detailed plan for the entire enterprise, detailing each production site. But developing such a plan can take a lot of time. And if the actual execution of work in a separate area requires regular recalculation of the plan for the entire enterprise, then this may not be physically feasible due to limitations in computing resources.

A two-level approach to planning provides a certain zoning - problems of one workshop that do not go beyond its boundaries do not affect the work of other workshops.

This approach was generally accepted at large Soviet factories. There was a PDO service (planning and dispatch department), which was part of the production directorate of the enterprise. She prepared inter-shop plans for the period.

And in each workshop there was one or more dispatchers (sometimes they made up the planning and dispatch bureau of the workshop), who were responsible for issuing production tasks for work centers (production areas) in accordance with the planned volume of work for the entire workshop.

From the description of this two-level planning model, it may seem that we are talking only about the “push” method of production management - after all, we are constantly talking about plans. This is not so - the workshop work plan can be an application for replenishment of supplies for the “pull” technique. And this application will be detailed down to intra-shop production tasks.

This method of production management is still used today. For medium-sized, and especially large enterprises, it is difficult to offer a better way of working. Therefore, “1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2” fully supports a two-level approach to planning. Moreover, at the level of intra-shop planning there is a wide selection of production resource management tools.

Planning work inside the workshop

The number of working areas inside the workshop can reach several dozen. The work of each section consists of a set of operations: it is necessary to install the necessary equipment (for example, a drill), secure the part, drill the part, remove the part, remove the equipment. Each operation has its own execution time. By multiplying the operations by the number of sections, we may get several hundred parameters that need to be taken into account when planning.

How can all this be planned in a reasonable time frame?

There are two well-known operations management methodologies – MES and TOC.

The MES (manufacturing execution system) technique involves the use of specialized software (most often called MES systems).

The MES system receives input information about all parameters of the workshop (production areas, their equipment, operations performed on it, their time, available working time for each area), as well as information about production needs in the form of a workshop work plan. For each item produced, a product route map is loaded into the MES system - a list of operations by area (production equipment) that must be performed for its production.

After this, the program calculates the optimal work plan for each section of the workshop, which is specified in production tasks (shift-daily tasks).

Based on the results of actual work, the plan can be quickly recalculated.

In general, this is a very good management technique, if not for one BUT - the calculation of such an operational plan requires good computing resources, and the need for regular recalculation of the plan can make such a planning system unrealizable in practice.

To help solve the problem of significant calculations, a planning technique called the “Theory of Constraints” was developed. Its author (or rather, popularizer) is Eliyahu Goldratt. The main ideas of the methodology were codified in three “production” novels - Goal, Goal 2, Goal 3.

The essence of the constraint theory is as follows: the productivity of the entire production chain is determined by the weak link (the section with the lowest productivity). Therefore, there is no need to plan the work of all links in this chain; it is enough to ensure that the weak link is never idle.

This idea can best be understood with an example. Let's imagine that we have a machining shop and it has three production sections - a drilling section, a milling section, and a cutting section. Electric motor shafts are manufactured in this workshop. We take a metal rod, chop it, then mill it, then drill the holes required by the technology. The production chain for manufacturing the shaft is shown in the figure below:

The performance of each section is presented in the table below:

How many finished electric motor shafts will we get per hour of operation of such a production chain?

No more than 30 pieces. Because the milling section will not be able to process more, no matter how much the other sections produce - it is the “bottleneck” of this production chain.

And in order for the milling section to operate at a maximum productivity of 30 workpieces per hour, it must not be idle. His work must be properly planned and there must always be a supply of workpieces for processing in front of him.

Therefore, this approach to planning is often called “Drum-Buffer-Rope”. The beat of the drum is a tact of planning production work. The cycle coincides with the operating cycle of the production bottleneck (in our example, this is the milling section). A buffer is a necessary supply of workpieces in front of a bottleneck, created to ensure that it never sits idle. A rope is a management influence that “pulls” work and materials along the entire production chain at the right time so that the bottleneck does not stand idle.

The Theory of Constraints often raises the following criticisms:

    There are problems identifying the bottleneck.

    For industries with a large assortment of manufactured products, with changing production plans, different equipment may be the bottleneck at different times.

These problems can be solved by using computing tools that dynamically identify bottlenecks in production chains.

One of these automation tools is “1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2”.

Production management without planning

general description

The story about the capabilities of the 1C:ERP production subsystem will begin with the simplest version of production management: accounting without using any planning tools.

Planning tools mean a mechanism for constructing a production schedule. It will not be used here.

In this mode, 1C:ERP works in the “style” of its predecessor, 1C:Manufacturing Enterprise Management.

You can refuse planning tools for the following reasons:

    You do not yet have reliable information about material consumption standards,

    You do not have information about the time of completion of work and the use of equipment,

    You have a purely design organization, where each project is a unique set of materials, works, etc.

The first two reasons on the list are a temporary obstacle. One way or another, you should move on and later you will most likely use planning tools in your work.

In the case of a project-based organization, the production planning subsystem may not be used at all - if we are talking about projects that are completely unique in composition. If projects use some standard products, from which a unique design solution is then assembled, then the production of standard products is well planned; it is better not to neglect this possibility of the system.

Before we talk about the necessary settings and document flow, let’s get acquainted with the business case, on the basis of which we will describe the program’s capabilities in this section.

The company Metal Structures LLC is engaged in the production of standard metal structures - supports and modules.

A support is a pipeline support, a module is a metal box in which equipment can be mounted. All work on the manufacture of products is carried out in one workshop - the assembly shop. The work uses hand-held power tools, homemade devices and welding machines.

Products are made from sheet metal, steel bars and angles. The production involves working assemblers and working welders. At the moment, there are no clear standards for the consumption of materials and work for products.

The enterprise is conducting a comprehensive automation project based on 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2. The goal of the project is to improve business manageability and optimize costs. It is required to select a management model for production at the initial stage of the project. The model requirements are as follows:

    Ability to collect production costs for manufactured products.

    The opportunity to obtain further statistics on the consumption of materials and work for the development of production standards.

    The ability to further use production planning mechanisms.

In general, this example reflects quite well the wide range of enterprises existing in Russia at the moment. These are workshops and small factories of metal structures, furniture shops, and other small industries with a high share of manual labor.

In addition, almost any enterprise, even a very large one, can find itself in a situation where there are no current production standards. Therefore, as an initial stage of automation, this example will be useful to many.

Management model

Proposals for organizing accounting are as follows:

    The version of 1C:ERP production management mechanisms used is 2.2.

    Production management methodology - “Without planning a production schedule.”

    Production Order documents will be used to manually create production orders.

The structure of the enterprise is included in the program, the directory of divisions is filled out, there is a dispatcher division (it is also a manufacturing division) “Assembly shop”.

The nomenclature reference book has been filled out, the materials used and finished products have been entered.

Two types of work are included: “Welding”, “Assembly”. For welding the tariff is 500 rubles. hour, for assembly - 200 rubles. hour.

The program works as follows:

    The sales department manager, at the moment when he needs to meet the needs of his clients, creates a “Production Order” document.

    The document specifies a list of products (supports/modules) that need to be produced for the client.

    The document indicates the desired release date.

    The document is posted in the status “For Production”.

    The documents go to the production manager’s workplace (processing “Managing the queue of orders for production”), where the responsible employee forms the stages of production - tasks that will be performed by teams of workers.

    When creating the next stage of production (production task), the number of products produced, the list of necessary materials and the amount of work required are indicated. From the “Production Stage” document, you can immediately reserve or request the necessary materials in the warehouse.

    The “Production Stage” document is transferred for execution and transferred to the work place of the team leaders. Further, for simplicity, we will call this document a “production task”.

    Team leaders accept tasks for work.

    Based on production needs, materials are transferred from the warehouse.

    During the work process, when ready, the products are transferred to the warehouse, information about this is entered into the program.

    If necessary, the program draws up production documents for calculating wages to workers - based on ongoing production tasks.

    The release of scrap and the additional need for materials is reflected in the production task itself.

    After work on a task is completed, the document is marked as completed.

    Upon completion of all production tasks, the production order is also marked completed. Specialized workstations provide appropriate means of visualizing the state of affairs, which help to quickly change the status of documents and create the necessary subordinate documents.

The scheme is quite simple and understandable; it satisfies the initial requirements for comprehensive accounting of material and labor resources in production.

Advantages of the proposed accounting scheme:

    Convenient production accounting tools, which are collected in automated workstations.

    Linking production needs with the transfer of materials from the warehouse. Executed production tasks determine the limit for the transfer of materials from the warehouse. If a production employee needs to obtain additional materials, he must change the original requirement, which is reflected in the program and is available for further analysis and proceedings.

    Opportunity to immediately switch to piecework work in production. All work is carried out within the framework of production tasks, wages are calculated based on the specified volumes of work.

In addition, the scheme allows you to obtain the necessary statistics for calculating future production standards and thereby ensures the transition to the use of planning mechanisms in the program.

A demonstration of working with the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program according to the given accounting scheme is shown in the video lecture from the full version of the course, available after registration at the link: .

Frequently asked questions from readers

    Why do the program have two documents “Order for production” and “Stage of production”, because, in fact, both of them are tasked with producing a certain volume of products?

A production order contains a certain amount of work that needs to be completed (produce products). The stages of the order work (what will be done in which workshop, at what types of work centers) are contained in the “Production Stage” documents.

A similar need may arise if the order needs to be produced in separate batches; these batches are also conveniently grouped by production stages.

    For those stages of production that are in progress, it is necessary to transfer half a sheet of metal, but the warehouse cannot “cut off” half and will give away the whole sheet. How to formalize this in the program?

When transferring materials from the warehouse, transfer half of the sheet according to the order (based on the “production stage” document), and half to the workshop storeroom. The next time this material is needed in production, it can be obtained from the surplus in the pantry.

    We are used to working with daily shift assignments, how can we format this document in the program?

Using the “Production Stage” documents, select the required list of documents and print them. The most convenient way to do this is in the “Dispatching stages” workspace.

    There was never any mention of a production specification or any other document that sets standards for the consumption of materials, etc. This is fine?

It is clear that working without standards is not very good: it is difficult to plan production needs, and it is difficult to combat abuses. But you have to start somewhere. Sometimes the stage of development of standards can take a long time, this creates problems for the entire enterprise automation project. In this case, you can start working this way - indicating the necessary materials and work in the “Production Stage” document itself at the moment when it is necessary. Over time, you will be able to easily give up this practice.

With the help of fairly simple settings and clear document flow of the program, we put things in order in accounting and have already fulfilled some of the requirements of the MRP standard. Although it is said here that we do not yet use planning mechanisms, production orders themselves and their production stages create planned requirements for materials that can be used in the procurement subsystem - for procurement planning.

And production orders themselves can be created not just like that - manually, but based on the needs of the production plan (for the “push” planning method) or, as necessary, to replenish standard stocks for the “pull” method.

How to set up the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program so that these mechanisms work will be discussed in the next chapter.

An approximate document flow diagram for this management model is shown in the figure below:

Methods for creating production orders

In the example above, the production order was created by the sales department manager. This is an acceptable way to work with the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program, but not the most correct and convenient.

What other options may there be for creating production documents in the program?

    The manager can create a “Customer Order” document and fill out a production order based on it. This approach is more convenient - you do not need to enter the same information into the program twice.

    Managers can create multiple customer orders, and then the production manager will independently generate a final production order that will meet all the needs of the original customer orders. This way you can determine the areas of responsibility and access of employees. Also, this approach allows you to make the work easier, and accordingly it will be done faster and with better quality - each employee works with his own type of documents, which he knows well.

The video lecture, which demonstrates the use of program mechanisms from paragraphs 1-2, is in the full version of the course, available after registration at the link: .

    The commercial department of an enterprise can create a sales plan for a period (month), according to which a production plan will be automatically generated. Based on the production plan, production orders can be created. This option for creating documents is closest to the classic “push” planning technique.

    For the finished goods warehouse, the stock standard for finished goods will be determined. If during the sales process the actual warehouse balances are below the standard, a production order can be created to replenish stocks. This option implements the “pull” planning technique.

A video lecture that demonstrates the use of plans and standard inventories to generate production orders is in the full version of the course, available after registration at the link: .

    Creating production orders based on customer orders is possible when we are talking about project activities. Here, each customer order has unique needs, which are fulfilled by a separate production order. Another option is government orders (defense enterprises, etc.), here customer orders may contain serial products, but the legal requirements are such that it is necessary to track material flows related to a specific order. This is implemented by a special mechanism for “separate provision” of customer orders. In other cases, it is better to consider more convenient methods of production document flow.

    The use of a production plan is available for enterprises with mass production and medium-long production cycles (from a week or more).

    An alternative to production plans may be to use an option with control of standard inventories. Based on product inventory turnover, you determine the warehouse reserves you need to cover customer needs. If the balances are below the standard, then production replenishes them.

The choice between the second and third option is determined by the following parameters:

    Shelf life of finished products. For example, for the food industry in general, only the third option is applicable (maintaining standard stocks that are necessary to ensure current shipment), with the rare exception of the production of raw smoked, dry-cured sausages, jamon, and cheeses with a long ripening period - it is better to produce them according to plans. This is due to the fact that fluctuations in demand during the production period can lead to overstocking of the warehouse, which will lead to damage to the goods and losses. What is needed here is a more dynamic system for generating orders for production, which will quickly respond to demand - the dynamism is precisely determined by the stock standard, which is regulated by the current demand itself (excess stocks began to deteriorate, storage standards were reduced).

    The production time of finished products - the shorter it is, the greater the priority the option with standard stocks has. If the production cycle is measured in days, then you can have relatively small reserves of goods in warehouses and promptly replenish them as needed. This eliminates the problem of overstocking finished products.

    Large fluctuations in demand - if the volume of demand is guaranteed for a period of a month or more, then production can be organized according to plans; if fluctuations within the planning period are significant, it is better to adhere to standard stocks with their regular adjustments depending on the turnover of goods.

All three options for generating production orders are very well implemented in 1C:ERP. In their technical implementation in the program, there are no advantages of one option over others, so the choice must be made based on the real needs of the business.

Simple planning of material and production resources

Preliminary notes on production planning

When it comes to production planning, two concepts are often confused and confused: planning the scope of work and production needs for materials, personnel, equipment and building a production schedule.

In order to avoid this mistake, I would like to give the following definition. Planning in volumes (production output/consumption) is, one might say, our top-level intentions, which are then seriously refined and turned into a production schedule, which has a specific time reference for the immediate executor - at what point this or that production event should occur. And this moment is not a certain period, but an exact obligatory date (and sometimes the exact time) of the beginning of the event.

Drawing up a production schedule is labor-intensive work, and its execution requires high production discipline, when any deviations must be promptly controlled and, if necessary, the process of recalculating the work schedule must be started just as quickly.

Due to the fact that many enterprises immediately strive to move on to building a work schedule in the program, without establishing proper organizational order, the situation often arises that the production schedule is a kind of declaration “for all good things” hanging on the wall, which is fantastic and not necessary to execution, which devalues ​​the very idea of ​​such serious control. In this case, it is better to restore order with other simpler and more convenient tools.

There is another serious problem - the production schedule calculated by the program may raise doubts among the staff, who, from experience, seem to “know how to do it better.” These doubts develop into dissatisfaction and conflicts, which aggravates the situation; it can even go so far that they will try to blame the failure of work on the “wrong” schedule and excessive regulation and bureaucratization of work.

The recommendations here are simple - production employees themselves should want to get a convenient tool that will allow them to properly plan their work. It is better to move towards this “evolutionarily” rather than “revolutionarily” - starting with planning production volumes. The 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program has all the necessary tools for this.

Using the planning subsystem

Let's imagine that at our example enterprise - Metal Constructions LLC - there was a task to plan production needs for materials (to create a procurement plan), as well as the needs for working personnel in order to control employment. While we do not need an exact production schedule, we only need a general estimate of what needs to be purchased and how many workers are needed to produce the production volumes planned for the period.

This problem can be solved quite simply if you use the 1C:ERP planning subsystem and the following work flow:

    For each article of manufactured products, we must determine the planned standard for the consumption of materials and work. This document in the 1C:ERP program is called a resource specification.

    You need to create and fill out a production plan (the “Production Plan” document of the program).

    You need to use other planning mechanisms and program reports to identify, analyze and meet production needs:

      Based on the production plan, it will be possible to fill out a procurement plan (our need for materials). Based on the procurement plan, it will be possible to create orders for suppliers.

      The Planned Requirement for Labor Resources report will show the required amount of work in hours. By comparing these data with the available working time, it is possible to determine whether additional personnel are required or whether there is enough personnel, or, perhaps, the number of workers is even excessive for such a production plan.

This accounting option is a continuation and simple development of the accounting scheme that was shown earlier. Here you just need to fill out the “Resource Specifications” directory for all items of manufactured products. The work of creating specifications can be greatly facilitated by the fact that we already have in the program information about the costs of materials and work in production, available from statistics of completed production stages (you can use the reports “Production costs” and “Cost of manufactured products”).

What does this accounting provide:

    We are moving towards full-fledged production management; plans allow us to link the work performed and the necessary resources.

    If our enterprise uses a “push” management methodology, then the production plan can be used to motivate production personnel - this is a KPI for the effectiveness of their work.

    If, in the future, we are going to use the “pull” methodology, the plans will allow us to assess the overall need “from above” - whether we have enough resources to quickly provide our customers with products. This is a combined approach where the production plan is not strict requirements, but an assessment of production capabilities.

What's missing here? We do not yet take into account production equipment, even from the point of view of its sufficiency. This is not a limitation of the program, but a limitation of the original example, where it was assumed that we do not have work centers (equipment) in production, and all work is carried out with hand tools (welding machines, grinders, etc.) and this is enough for the working personnel. But the example can be expanded by indicating work centers (equipment) and the required operating time in the resource specification. After this, you will be able to use the “Planned Demand for Types of DC” report and obtain the same assessment of the need for equipment as that previously obtained for production personnel.

Dynamic supply of production materials

Before moving on to constructing a production schedule, I would like to define another “evolutionary” step in organizing accounting - managing material flows in 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2.

Let's imagine a situation - we have several stages of production, materials are required for the work. At the same time, materials for production are purchased - orders are placed with suppliers, goods arrive at the warehouse, goods are moved from other warehouses, etc. It is necessary to correctly link these processes in the program so that production employees can quickly assess the picture of material flows and correctly distribute their work (still manually).

To do this, 1C:ERP keeps records of not only actual events, but also records of future events.

In the “Production Stage” document, the tabular sections contain information about the planned dates when certain materials must be transferred from the warehouse to ensure the completion of the stage. When posting a document, the planned movement of materials is recorded in the program register - a plan for the departure of materials from the warehouse appears.

The “Order to Supplier” document, in turn, contains information about when materials will arrive at the warehouse - a plan for the receipt of materials at the warehouse is obtained. The same is true for material movement orders. The production stage itself, in addition to the plan for the departure of materials, forms a plan for the receipt of manufactured products, which can be used to provide other stages of production and customer orders.

All these planned movements are controlled by the program (you can see them in the “Commodity Calendar” report). Moreover, there is a convenient automated workstation - processing “Order Supply Status” in order to manage these movements - balance planned needs with planned (and actual) supply. Control can be carried out either manually or partially or fully automatically. The program will show you gaps in supply (periods when there is a planned write-off, but there is not enough material in the warehouse and it is not expected) and will offer options for eliminating them (shifting the shipment date, splitting the shipment into batches, etc.).

If you want to competently use the 1C:ERP program to manage material flows, then it is imperative to understand this processing and use it in your work.

A video lecture that demonstrates how to process “Order Supply Status” is in the full version of the course, available after registration via the link: .

Building a production schedule based on materials

We will assume that at the moment we have completely brought order to the current production accounting: information about ongoing orders is promptly entered into 1C:ERP, materials are transferred to production, the release of finished products is formalized, production needs are linked to purchases, production competently interacts with sales . Now you can start building a production schedule.

The simplest schedule calculation to start with is to use information about available inventory and current purchases to determine when all the required materials will be in stock and a production step can be completed.

This planning and accounting scheme looks like this:

    A production order is created, and production stages are formed based on the order.

    Based on the material needs of production stages, a certain supply plan is formed. The supply plan here does not mean a specific object of the 1C:ERP Enterprise Management 2 program, but a set of activities - creating orders for suppliers, creating orders for the movement of materials, creating supply orders for production for the production of the necessary semi-finished products/assemblies.

    Using Order Supply Status processing, you determine when the production steps of the original production order can be secured (currently or from future receipts).

    The production schedule is calculated. The program analyzes information about when the needs for materials of the stages can be satisfied and suggests changing the start date of work on the stages.

    If the proposed work deadlines do not satisfy the dispatcher, then he can redistribute materials between stages (remove the reserve) and recalculate the schedule.

    On the day when the materials are in the warehouse, information becomes available in the program interface that the needs of the stage are met and it can be put into operation.

Advantages of the proposed accounting model:

    Your production automatically receives an executable work schedule (the necessary materials are in stock - you can start working).

    The mechanism for calculating such a production schedule is quite simple and understandable.

    To calculate the schedule, information about the necessary equipment is not yet required, so its use is available even for enterprises where the regulatory and reference information of production has not yet been put in order. You don’t even have to enter resource specifications into the program, but use the production stage to indicate its need for materials - the work schedule will be calculated based on this information.

There is only one disadvantage - we don’t know whether production will be able to immediately begin work on the stage, based on the possible load of production equipment at that time, because we do not plan to use the equipment yet. We still have some of the necessary information, but it is not enough to guarantee the feasibility of the calculated schedule.

Where this method of work planning can be used:

    At any enterprise in the process of launching a production subsystem, as soon as the personnel are sufficiently familiar with the capabilities of the program.

    In enterprises where hand tools are used for production - small production of metal structures, furniture production, assembly plants.

The main limitation on the applicability of such a production schedule is the presence of bottlenecks in labor or equipment. That is, if during production everything depends only on the necessary material in the warehouse, then you can safely use this option for calculating the work schedule for all times and it is quite sufficient; complication will not bring any result here and will only create unnecessary problems.

The transition to the option of production planning based on material resources is carried out by simply changing the value of the constant “Production management methodology” in the settings of the planning subsystem; its value should be equal to “Planning based on material resources”. After this, the corresponding planning capabilities will be available in the automated workstation of the production dispatcher (processing “Order Queue Management”, “Dispatching Stages”). Production orders and stages already in progress at that time will require rescheduling, but this will not be difficult (the work is no different from planning new orders/stages).

A video lecture demonstrating this method of production management is in the full version of the course, available after registration at the link:.

Building a production schedule based on materials and equipment

Preliminary notes and settings

The task of constructing a production schedule that would correctly plan the workload of your production is, to a certain extent, a creative and organizational issue. For each enterprise, it requires a preliminary study of the production structure, and only then can we give some recommendations on how and what to plan.

In this regard, this course will not present any universal approach to solving the problem (there is none in principle). Instead, several possible solutions will be described - for different production options.

Before proceeding with the examples, you need to configure the program to use this planning option - you need to switch the corresponding constant in the production settings and select the value “Planning by material and production resources”.

For those production stages that have been created up to this point, a work schedule based on material limitations will apply. The transition to a new planning strategy will not create any big problems - old orders will be fulfilled in the old way, new orders in a new way. Some errors with planning new orders in the initial period will be caused by the fact that their planning will not take into account the existing load. These errors will stop immediately after all old orders are completed.

Terminology of the 1C:ERP production subsystem

    A producing resource in 1C:ERP is called a work center. A work center can refer to both production equipment and workers.

    Identical work centers are combined into work center types. Work planning can be done both for the view as a whole, and for each work center individually.

    Work planning for work centers is carried out using planning intervals. The minimum available scheduling interval in the program is one hour. The planning interval determines the frequency of transfer of work results from one work center to another.

    Information about how long a particular work center will work on manufacturing products is indicated in the resource specification. This information can also be entered or changed in the “Production Stage” document. In this case, it is not a specific work center that is indicated, but its type.

    The work time of the work center indicated in the resource specification contains the entire scope of work, including the time spent preparing the work center for work, the work itself, etc.

    If several operations are performed at one work center during the manufacturing process of a part, and you need to directly control these operations, then the MES “1C:ERP” toolkit is used with the appropriate settings, reference books and automated workstations. More details about these program mechanisms will be written in the corresponding section of this manual.

Organization of simple production

Planning the work of general workers

According to the conditions of our initial example, the main production resource at our enterprise is workers. In their work, they use hand tools, which are sufficient, and if there is a shortage, they quickly buy more. Let's assume that we have 100 workers.

How to properly plan their work in such a situation?

    For the “Assembly Shop” workshop, we will indicate the planning interval “Day”. At this frequency, production tasks will be generated in the workshop.

    For this type of work center, we indicate that it will participate in creating a production schedule, but the work of each work center will not be planned separately.

    For the work center type, we will indicate that it contains 100 work centers (we have 100 workers); we will not include the work centers themselves in the program.

    In the resource specifications for the workshop's products, we will add a production stage, and indicate in it our type of work center and how many total man-hours are required to manufacture these products at this work center.

    Let's set the available work time of our work center: multiply the number of workers by the duration of their work per day, in our case 100 workers * 8 hours = 800 hours per day available to perform work.

    We plan the work by creating a production schedule.

Explanations for the diagram:

Our company has a production resource of 100 workers who can carry out work on assembling metal structures. From the point of view of planning their employment, we are not interested in what each worker will do (provided they are completely interchangeable). Therefore, it is enough for us to plan the employment of all workers collectively, and this total available time will be the limiting factor that must be taken into account when determining when which stage of production can be put into operation.

Details of the implementation of this production management scheme are given in the video lecture from the full version of the course, available after registration at the link:.

In the video you should pay attention to the mechanism for using alternative work centers.

The proposed scheme has limitations and specifics that must be taken into account when applying it:

    If your production staff is not completely interchangeable, then it needs to be divided into separate types of work centers - according to interchangeability.

    If several workers are working simultaneously to produce one unit of product, this must be properly taken into account when specifying the required work center operating time in the resource specification.

    In case of underutilization of production, the stages will be completed earlier than indicated in the production schedule calculated by the program. This may require regular recalculation of the schedule (no more than once per planning interval).

Applicability:

The scheme is applicable to any enterprise where people are the limiting production resource. In order to obtain an executable production schedule, it is enough to take into account only their employment and the availability of materials.

Several production stages in one workshop

Let's assume that the company described above decided to purchase a semi-automated welding line in order to speed up production and reduce some of the staff.

The production stages of the assembly shop are as follows:

    Procurement of material - workers cut metal for product components.

    Welding of components – welding work is carried out to produce components.

    Assembly of finished products - sold products are assembled from units.

Previously, all these stages were performed by workshop workers; now the welding stage will be performed on a semi-automated welding line.

The time diagram of work before and after the purchase of new equipment for one of the finished product items is as follows:

For this production option we offer the following control scheme:

    Let's add a new type of work center “Welding lines” and the work center itself “Welding line”. Let's set the available operating time for it.

    Let's create new versions of existing resource specifications, which will now contain not one production stage, but three. In the first and last stages, workshops will be used, as before, and in the second, a welding line. We indicate the sequence of stages.

    For all materials and labor costs, we will indicate in the specifications what stage they are intended for. Let's save and use the new specifications.

    In new orders we will select new versions of the specification.

    Let's plan the work.

    As the workshop staff is reduced, it is necessary to reduce the number of work centers for the “Assembly shop workers” type, and also change the available work time. After this, it is necessary to recalculate the production schedule.

Explanations for the diagram:

The scheme is not much more complicated than the original version with one work center. An important difference is that now not one production stage will be created to order, but three - in accordance with the stages of the resource specification.

A demonstration of such configuration of the 1C:ERP production management subsystem is given in the video lecture from the full version of the course, available after registration at the link:.

This settings option has one indicative feature that allows you to understand how the program planning mechanisms are structured and how they can be optimized to suit your own needs.

Let's assume that we need to release not one product, but ten. If we look at the Gantt chart of the completed production stages, we will see the following:

What does it mean:

    First, workers in the assembly shop prepare materials for all ten products.

    Then welding of all components for all sets occurs.

    Then, also “in bulk”, products are collected from the nodes.

And here many production workers will have a fair complaint: But we don’t like it that way. How can you make sure the work happens in batches? This will allow you to start working on the order if all the materials are not yet in stock.

For this purpose, the resource specification has a corresponding parameter “Optimal launch batch”. By default, it is equal to zero, which means that the entire volume of materials that is necessary to produce all ordered products will simultaneously move through the production stages. If you are not satisfied with this approach, then you need to specify any parameter value other than zero and the program will split the order into batches, into which production will be loaded.

As an example, we present a Gantt chart if our optimal launch batch is 2 pieces.

What has changed: Workers have prepared part of the sets of materials and transferred them to the stage of welding assemblies; while welding work is underway, the next sets are being prepared. Units also arrive at the assembly stage in batches. Providing parties with materials is also carried out separately.

Applicability of this control scheme:

This setting option is applicable for any type of simple production - by combining stages of work and selecting launch batches, you can achieve the required detail of work and rhythm of production.

The limitation of the applicability of the scheme is the specified planning interval. The minimum value for an interval in the 1C:ERP program is one hour. This means that work will be transferred from stage to stage no more than once per hour. What this can lead to:

Let's imagine that we have a small production of advertising products (signs), where there are only three stages of work - cutting the base (plastic), sticking the image (print on film), lamination.

The time diagram of the work is as follows:

Having started working at 12-00, we will receive the finished sign at 12-40.

Now let’s build a production schedule - the program will distribute the stages in the schedule in multiples of hours:

That is, according to the schedule, we will receive our sign no earlier than 14-05 (lamination takes 5 minutes). Almost an hour and a half later than the work actually ends.

In the case of very small productions, with short stages of work, it is possible. For larger enterprises - unlikely.

In addition, you should understand that orders are not made one product at a time, there is always a launch batch. Let's calculate our work time for three signs:

Already on three products the lag between the schedule and the actual was less than 15 minutes. It turns out that even a small production can get the correct work schedule after properly configuring the system, without any modifications to the configuration.

One more note: all created production stages are immediately available for viewing and commissioning. Therefore, if production actually completes work faster than planned, employees will be able to start working on the next steps earlier.

This planning scheme (where there is an interval, a multiple of which work is planned) also has certain bonuses, many people forget about them. Let's imagine that we have three orders in progress, they have selected 70% of the available working time from each production stage into one planning interval. That is, 30% of the time the result of the work of a stage lies before being transferred to another stage. This seems bad, but:

    This guarantees orders are completed on time. We have an informal buffer of 30% of the time for any force majeure. Let’s imagine that we don’t have such a buffer, and the schedule would be built “joint to joint”: the client ordered transport, he came to pick up the products, the equipment broke down, we are forced to pay for the downtime of the machine. It would be better if we took longer to complete the work, but completed it on time.

    This allows you to quickly fulfill unexpected orders. We have 30% of the available time in each planning interval that we can use without rescheduling existing orders.

When setting up the system, you should not confuse the production stage with the operations performed at the stage. If you use complex equipment - for example, an automated assembly line, which requires pre-loading, configuration, and after completing the work it needs to be unloaded and possibly serviced somehow, then you should not break these actions into separate stages. This is one stage of production, but if you need to manage individual operations at this stage, then you should use the MES mechanisms of 1C:ERP. This approach will also simplify the choice of planning interval - the line as a whole operates for a long time, and minute accuracy is not needed here.

Special settings for the production subsystem

Before moving on to examples of large production facilities that contain several workshops, it is necessary to describe special program settings that may be useful in your work.

The information will be presented in the form of a FAQ - a practical question and an example of its implementation in 1C:ERP.

We don't want to put the order into production immediately as soon as it is created. We need products to be released as close as possible to the demand date. This will avoid damage to goods during storage and overstocking of warehouses. How to configure this in the program?

In the “Production Order” document there is an “Issue placement” parameter. By default it is filled with the value "Back to Top". This means that work on orders will be planned as early as possible. Change the setting to "Toward Finish" and the program will place production milestones as close to the desired release date as possible.

Similarly, in the resource specification for a product, on the “Production Process” tab, there is a parameter “Limited period for tracking output products.” Here you can specify a time limit during which the production result according to the specification can be in the production department. Based on this period, the program optimizes the production schedule.

We are a chemical production company, the main production resource of our enterprise is an automated mixing line, we would like to plan its operation. But there is a peculiarity - before the line starts working, it takes 2 hours to load it with materials and set it up for output, and after completing the work, it takes 1 hour to unload the ready-made mixtures and 1 hour to wash the line’s containers. We are not yet interested in control of operations, only the schedule of the line itself. How to set up the program?

There are two settings options:

    You can include start-up and shutdown operations in the operating time of the equipment itself.

    You can specify the preliminary and final buffer in the resource specification - the preliminary buffer is the work to start the line, the final buffer is unloading and washing. The buffer value is set as a multiple of the scheduling interval.

In your case, you will need to specify a scheduling interval equal to an hour, then use one of the settings options.

Our company is engaged in the production of plastic tableware. Granules of materials are loaded into the mold, the mold is heated and the desired product is stamped. One mold produces several plates or glasses at the same time. How to properly configure the work center view for such production features?

Such equipment is called parallel loading equipment (in one operation we produce several parts simultaneously). In the work center view settings, you need to indicate that synchronous parallel loading is allowed for the equipment. For the work center itself, indicate the number of simultaneously produced products (how many plates are simultaneously stamped by the mold).

Our company uses furnaces in which hardening of parts (for example, cutters) is carried out. The furnace can simultaneously process 200 parts, but from the point of view of optimal production load, it is more convenient for us to work with launch batches of 30 parts. Also, different cutters can be hardened for different times, and they can be in the oven at the same time. How to configure the program correctly?

For the “Chamber Furnaces” work center type, you need to indicate that asynchronous loading of parts is allowed, and in the work center from this view, indicate the maximum number of parts that can be placed in the furnace at the same time.

We have three assembly lines, they are absolutely interchangeable in functionality, but work with different productivity: one line processes 100 sets per hour, the second - 70, the third - 50. Is it necessary to create three different types of work centers and plan them separately (this is inconvenient ) or is it possible to configure the program somehow easier?

It could be easier. You create one type of work center “Assembly lines”; it includes three work centers (your three assembly lines). For each assembly line, indicate the productivity coefficient (the “Working time coefficient” field in the “Work Centers” directory card). The coefficients are as follows: for the first line – 1, for the second – 0.7, for the third – 0.5. After this, the program will independently calculate the correct work schedule.

In production we use CNC machines. There are old and new models. The new model differs from the old model in that it has an additional set of functions available. We would like those products that can be made on old machines to be made on them, but if they are not enough to complete all current orders, then work on new equipment would also be planned. But if there are enough old machines, then don’t use new machines (they are very expensive to maintain). How to configure this in the program?

Get two types of work centers (old and new CNC machines). And use alternative types of work centers in the resource BOM. As the main work center, you will have the “Old CNC Machines” work center view; for it, specify an alternative “New CNC Machines” work center view. When calculating, the program will take into account the possibility of replacing equipment, but will only use it if the main operating capacities are not enough.

Our company uses expensive metalworking machines. They employ highly qualified specialists, the number of whom is limited. How to plan such production correctly?

If the bottleneck is equipment (there is not enough of it), then you only need to plan the operation of the equipment. If people, then people. You can also specify for the production stage two types of work centers used - equipment and people. But this may be redundant and will only slow down the production schedule calculation.

Complex production involving several workshops

Approximate control scheme

Let's imagine that our original enterprise has grown and production is now carried out in several workshops:

    Procurement shop – procurement and pre-processing of materials using metal cutting machines and presses.

    Welding shop – welding of assemblies from received workpieces on welding lines.

    Painting shop – painting of components; painting and drying chambers are used.

    Assembly shop - manual assembly of finished products from components, using hand tools.

The structure of production at our enterprise is as follows:

How will this change our 1C:ERP program settings? In fact, only quantitatively - we will now have several manufacturing units.

We offer the following production management scheme:

    We set up all the necessary workshops in the program (we create divisions in the directory “Structure of Enterprises”).

    We start up and configure all the necessary equipment (we enter the types of work centers and the work centers themselves).

    We create or modify resource specifications to suit our production capacity structure.

    We are planning our production orders.

A specific example of program settings will not be given here; it is contained in the video lecture from the full version of the course, available after registration at the link: .

The production settings here do not contain any “exclusive” information.

But I would like to dwell on one important organizational point - how the document flow of production will be organized. Do we need production orders for each workshop separately, or will we use one through order, and the issuance of production orders for workshops will be carried out by its subordinate production stages.

It all depends on which approach to planning we will use - “push” or “pull”.

If, before the start of the next month, you need to prepare a personal production plan for each workshop and then produce products in accordance with these plans, then you need to create production orders for each workshop separately. Resource specifications should also be divided by workshop.

If you need to manufacture products as needed, you can create one order for the last workshop in the production chain and create a multi-stage resource specification indicating which stages are performed in which workshops.

Although here you can use the “multi-order” scheme in the context of workshops. The difference from the push option will be that orders for production will be generated as needed - it was necessary to provide the welding shop with materials, an order was created for the procurement shop.

There are several “permanent” questions that often arise if production is carried out in different workshops. They are mainly related to the issues of transferring the results of the work of one workshop to another. We will try to answer them here:

At our enterprise, the workshops are located far from each other, and delivery takes quite a long time (about one working day), how to plan such production?

For the “pull” management method, create the “Delivery” stage in the specification, specify for it the type of work center “Delivery from workshop 1 to workshop 2”. Specify a delivery time for it. You can plan the work of this type of work center (if you have limited transport), you can simply take it into account to calculate the time when work from workshop 1 will be transferred to workshop 2. The program can correctly process both options. We also recommend selecting the right launch batches for transportation options.

For the “push” method, set up the supply scheme for the workshops correctly. Indicate in it the required standard time for receiving products from workshop 1 to workshop 2. This time will be used when planning workshop orders.

Products are manufactured on our premises to order, and then delivered to the customer and installed by our installation teams. Each time the delivery time is different (customers are in different regions), the composition of the team can also change as necessary. Can we use the 1C:ERP program to plan work?

Can. True, the planning scheme will turn out to be quite complex, because the initial requirements are complex (many uncertainties):

    Enter local production facilities in the program as usual.

    For teams, create separate types of work centers according to the number of teams. For each team, indicate the average number of workers as the number of work centers. Do not start the workers themselves as separate work centers.

    Use a pulling control technique. Create an order for production “from the end” (installation of products at the customer), for such an order create appropriate resource specifications, including stages of production on the territory of the enterprise, the delivery stage (indicate the average delivery time according to statistics), and installation stages.

    Create production stages for the order, adjust the duration of the delivery stage manually (how long delivery will take for this specific order).

    Construct a production schedule and model with an unlimited production resource.

    Look at the model to see how many people you need to assign to the team to get the required productivity of the installation stage.

    Assign people to the team.

    After assignment, manually change the availability of the work center view (corresponding team).

    Recalculate your production schedule.

The scheme can be significantly simplified by approving a stable composition of teams. Then their productivity will not change, and it will only be enough to change the duration of the delivery stage.

Production of components, parts, semi-finished products

If you have a small production, then when manufacturing products you do not need to take into account the intermediate results of work (semi-finished products, assemblies, parts). In some cases, this is not possible at all, for example, if this is a process production, where there is a continuous process of converting raw materials into finished products (oil refining).

But for large productions, or productions in which intermediate results have significant financial value, such accounting is necessary.

In the 1C:ERP program, this problem can be solved in two ways:

    You can indicate the results of intermediate releases in resource specifications for finished products.

    It is possible to produce semi-finished products in separate orders with separate specifications for their production.

The first method is “ideologically” close to the “pull” method of production management - there is a final product, and there are intermediate stages and their results - all this is linked into one resource specification.

The second method is more suitable for the “push” management option: each workshop produces its products according to plan, each workshop has its own resource specifications, in which the result of the work of another workshop can be used as a material.

Both methods can be mixed and matched for different production units and different production chains.

If you decide to use the results of an intermediate release, the resource specification must indicate at what stages the semi-finished products are produced and at what stages these semi-finished products are consumed, so that the program can correctly link the production chain.

The shop storeroom mechanism plays an important role in accounting for semi-finished products. This is a new mechanism of the 1C:ERP program, with the help of which we can specify for a workshop its personal warehouse, which can list materials transferred to work, but not yet actually used. It also takes into account the production of the workshop, which has already been produced, but has not yet been transferred to other workshops or permanent storage warehouses. In our case, these are our semi-finished products.

Working with shop storerooms makes it possible to significantly simplify the accounting of work in progress - it has now been reduced to a fairly simple and proven methodology of conventional warehouse accounting.

Conclusion and achieved results

If your company has currently taken advantage of all the functionality of the program that was described earlier, then we can say that you have:

    The enterprise conducts its work systematically, choosing one or another management scheme.

    Sales and production are balanced, you do not have significant illiquid inventories of finished products.

    Production needs are promptly met by procurement. There are no large stocks of raw materials in warehouses. Production is aware of when the required materials will arrive in the warehouse and can be transferred to work.

    Production employees received convenient tools for automatically drawing up an executable work plan, which takes into account the availability of production materials, human resources, and equipment.

    It is now possible to simulate production load in order to assess which production resource is the bottleneck that prevents the work from speeding up.

    The consumption of materials, work and production are carried out in relation to production tasks. Records of waste and defects are kept.

Operations Management, MES

Preliminary remarks

Consider the following situation:

Our company, Industrial Electronics LLC, produces and installs printed circuit boards.

In the production chain there is a stage of drilling (professional term meaning drilling) holes in a plate of foiled fiberglass (board base) for the installation of future electronic components (microcircuits, capacitors, etc.). The stage is performed on an automated drilling line, the sequence of actions is as follows:

    The operator selects the drilling program (in which places on the board what holes should be made and with what diameter). Selection time 2 min.

    The operator loads fiberglass slabs into the trays of the drilling line. Loading time 10 min.

    The line drills holes in a fully automatic mode using drills of the required diameter. Drilling time 10 min.

    The operator unloads the workpieces and sends them to the next stage. Unloading time 10 min.

The total time of work on one batch of blanks is 32 minutes. The work of the first point is carried out only if the drilling program is changed (readjustment of the machine is required). Up to 10 workpieces are processed simultaneously.

The enterprise needs to promptly take into account the execution of each operation at this stage, preferably in an automated mode, in order to maximize the workload of an expensive drilling line.

How can we solve this problem in a program?

We can create a production stage “Drilling of boards”, where the type of work center “Automated drilling line” is used as equipment. Our minimum planning interval for a stage is 1 hour (limitations of the 1C:ERP program).

We will be able to transfer the next batch of blanks between stages once every 60 minutes, despite the fact that the actual release lasts 32 minutes. It turns out that the lag of actual work from the plan will be almost 50%.

Is it possible to do something about this?

We don’t have to do anything - such a lag will only appear if our production is significantly underutilized. Otherwise, the remaining 50% of the time will be spent working on the next batch of parts.

But even in the event of underload, the operator can be obliged to immediately take on the next task after completing the next task, without waiting for the planned start date of work. And reschedule all orders once a day so as to get an up-to-date work schedule. This solves the problem of loading equipment, but another problem arises - logistics and supply of production materials. The supply schedule for materials for production will be based on demand dates, which are initially erroneous.

Let's imagine that we have production orders for a month in advance and we need to purchase materials for them. We determined the delivery dates, then the production schedule shifted, we need to reschedule deliveries again, it shifted again - again the logistician needs to change the procurement schedule and so on ad infinitum. The system does not work, and planning is again carried out in Excel.

This, of course, is a slightly far-fetched problem; it can be solved using other supply methods - when purchases are carried out not against a production order, but to ensure a standard warehouse stock of materials. Then the procurement schedule will depend not on specific orders, but on the total planned production volume or on actual consumption statistics.

But in general, there is a certain stretch and inconsistency: the enterprise has specific production tasks, and we are looking for workaround solutions that are not of the best quality. Is there a direct path?

Yes, this is the use of the 1C:ERP operational management functionality and the MES subsystem.

All previous sections of the course were based on program version 2.2. Unfortunately, at the moment this version does not yet fully support the functionality of MES, so further description of the program mechanisms will be based on version 2.1, with notes on how this will be implemented in the future (according to information from the 1C company).

There will not be many such notes, the changes will not contain fundamental innovations. At the moment when the system release containing new MES functionality is released, updates for this course will be sent to all readers of the manual who registered via the link.

When MES tools are not needed

In our practice, we have often encountered a situation where the customer, one of the requirements for organizing production management, sets the need to register each operation in the production process.

Most often, the justification for this desire is the following: I want the employee to note everything he does, so that I know what he is doing and what I pay him money for.

As a result, a request immediately arises to use the MES tools (we will register all operations in the program).

This desire, quite understandable, has a downside:

    Marking takes time, it interferes with work.

    Someone needs to control the mark.

    “Over-supervision” has never motivated people to work better; rather, it is perceived as an attempt to “meddle in one’s own business.”

Projects with such goals are likely to encounter active local opposition and are unlikely to benefit the enterprise. Here it is better to use other motivational schemes - when the employee is given a certain autonomy in his work, and he is asked for the result: the quality of the work performed, the volume processed, and so on. This approach is much simpler, more understandable to the staff, and the result is no worse, but, most likely, better.

Another reason for using process management is the need to increase equipment utilization. An example of such a task was given at the beginning of this section. This reason can be considered objective, but there are “details”:

    Suppose that our equipment regularly breaks down or requires additional adjustment unpredictably - this will require regular recalculation of the schedule - the operational schedule is built with an accuracy of minutes.

    The human factor - the employee was forced to leave for domestic reasons and we again need to reschedule the work.

How often will such deviations occur and will our ultra-precise work schedule turn into a useless document that will have to be constantly maintained.

The question of the applicability of MES tools is a very complex issue that requires a high production culture and discipline, otherwise it is easier and more effective to focus on stage-by-stage planning and work management and not go deeper into operations.

The transition to operational management should be exclusively evolutionary: you must master the work with production stages well, promptly provide production with materials, and correctly use production equipment in the program.

The real advantage of the MES subsystem is the ability to switch to more precise control of the production process: you can speed up work, you can reduce the number of equipment changeovers, you can plan the use of expensive technological equipment. But you need to evolve to this point and understand the risks.

A great help in implementing the MES subsystem is the possible integration of 1C:ERP with production equipment. Information about work tasks is uploaded directly to the machine (production line), and upon completion of work, the information is automatically entered into the program. There is no human factor here, so any delays can be considered as breakdowns that require urgent intervention by a repair team. On-line monitoring and control of the technological process is another advantage of using MES.

If this is not possible, but MES tools are necessary, then the installation of automated workstations with 1C:ERP running is required, next to the work centers where operations are performed. Methods for quickly entering information will also be useful - barcoding of products, materials, production tasks. This will minimize the time required to register transactions.

VC “Razdolye” has developed such tools (integration with equipment, specialized automated workstations), which can be demonstrated to all interested parties.

MES Terminology

Since the MES toolkit is fully integrated into 1C:ERP, you have already encountered most of the subsystem objects on the pages of this course.

To plan work (operations), as before, equipment (work centers), labor costs, and materials are used.

The process of planning operations itself represents further detailing of the production stage to work operations (not yet implemented in the program).

Thus, the following document hierarchy emerges:

    The “Production Order” document is created.

    Based on the order, “Production Stage” documents are generated according to the number of resource specification stages. The production stage refers to the types of work centers that will be involved in the stage.

    Based on the production stage, “Routing Sheet” documents are generated, which contain a list of operations performed at the work center (not yet implemented in the program).

To create route sheets, use the “Route Maps” directory. The route map is a detailing of the stages of the resource specification prior to operations. That is, where previously it was enough to indicate the production stage as a whole, now you need to indicate a list of operations performed at it, and you also need to link the materials and work consumed at the stage to specific operations.

To simplify the entry of regulatory information into 1C:ERP, it is assumed that route maps are first entered, and on their basis the stages of the resource specification can be filled out.

When planning work using MES tools, changeover time and interoperational costs (transfer of a part from operation to operation, etc.) begin to play a certain role. Therefore, the program uses the corresponding directories and information registers.

To forecast and simulate work, you can use the “Operational Planning Scenarios” reference book; here you can specify virtual work centers that will be used to build a forecast schedule of production operations (you can see what will happen, for example, if we increase the number of machines).

The main control reference book for scheduling work in the MES subsystem is the reference book “Models of Operational Planning”. Here you indicate your planning priorities - whether you want to minimize the cost of work or want to speed up production. You can also indicate the strategy for using the equipment - whether you want to load it evenly throughout the entire fleet of equipment, or whether you prefer to do all the work on one machine.

Work planning in the MES subsystem occurs in two stages - first, a production schedule is drawn up: work is distributed among workshops, by planning intervals (hour, day, etc.) and by type of work centers. This is the PDO planning level. Then the shop manager (shop dispatch bureau) draws up a work schedule for the shop within the planning interval - minute by minute, operation by operation, for each work center separately. The production schedule and work schedule are created automatically by the program, based on the specified parameters and restrictions.

Filling in regulatory and reference information for the MES subsystem

Let's return to our virtual enterprise Industrial Electronics LLC. Let's assume that there is a machining shop here, where the original sheets of foil-coated fiberglass laminate are first cut into blanks of suitable size, and then the necessary holes are drilled into the blanks for mounting electronic components.

This production chain, like the enterprise itself, is virtual! It may not coincide with the actual operations that are carried out in enterprises of this type. The example is taken only to demonstrate the functionality of the program.

Let us assume that the cutting of workpieces is carried out on a cutting line, the input of which is supplied by one sheet of fiberglass, and the output is 20 workpieces.

The cutting phase timing diagram is as follows:

    The operator sets up the cutting line: 2 min.

    The operator loads the material: 10 minutes (take a sheet from the workshop storeroom, bring it, secure it in the equipment).

    Material cutting: 10 min.

    Unloading workpieces: 10 min. (remove the workpieces, take them to the next drilling stage).

Drilling of workpieces is also carried out automatically on the drilling line; 10 workpieces are processed at a time. The stage diagram is as follows:

    The operator sets up the drilling line: 2 min.

    Operator loads line: 10 min.

    Drilling is performed: 10 min.

    Workpieces are unloaded: 10 min.

The workshop uses one cutting line and two drilling lines.

One operator is assigned to the cutting line, who adjusts the equipment and loads/unloads material and parts. One operator is also assigned to both drilling lines, with the same functionality.

In order to optimize production speed, production is carried out in multiples of 20 workpieces (maximum productivity of the cutting line). Materials (fiberglass sheets) are taken from the workshop storeroom, finished workpieces (cut and drilled) are placed in boxes for transfer to the next workshop. Production is carried out 24 hours a day in three shifts.

The wages of workers (shop operators) are not piecework and are distributed to the cost of finished products at the end of the month, in proportion to the cost of materials spent on production.

Graphically, the production diagram in the workshop looks like this:

How to properly configure the 1C:ERP program to manage such production?

Information about production units

It is required to include in the program the corresponding production unit “Mech Shop. processing." Indicate that it is producing and plans (dispatches) its work itself, configure planning parameters:

    Planning interval "Day" or "Hour". Depends on how often you need to transfer finished products from the workshop to other departments. The “Day” interval is more economically profitable - transmission is carried out in bulk. The “Hour” interval allows you to receive products according to the work schedule faster.

    Methodology for managing route sheets “Operational MES planning”.

    Method of operational management “Registration of fact”. The program has two ways to mark the completion of operations - you can register the fact of the start/finish of operations (“Registration of fact”), you can register only deviations in the work performed (“Registration of deviations”). Deviations mean any delays, defects, etc.

    The standard time for registering operations is 15 minutes. This option works differently depending on which operation control method is selected. If a fact is recorded, then if within 15 minutes from the planned start of an operation the user has not started working on it, then it is considered that the production schedule is not relevant (rescheduling of work is required). If a deviation is registered, the operation is automatically considered completed as planned if 15 minutes have passed from its start and the user has not made any corrective actions with it in the program (introduced defects, delays, etc.). If deviations that occur violate the original work schedule, then recalculation is required.

The parameters are described in such detail because they significantly influence how MES tools will be used. Particular attention should be paid to the planning interval, as well as the method of operational management. All other things being equal, we recommend that at the initial stage the planning interval be set to a day, and the fact be recorded with a standard time of 15-30 minutes. We also strongly recommend using barcoded production documents (route sheets) in the work of the department to quickly enter information into the program.

Information about production equipment and operating personnel

It is required to enter information about the types of work centers (cutting and drilling lines). For each type of work center, we indicate that parallel loading is allowed. Information about setup times and duration of operations on the equipment is also entered.

For each type of work center, we enter the work centers themselves - two drilling lines and a cutting line. We indicate the number of parts produced in parallel. We indicate the standard hourly cost of equipment operation and the cost of changeover - the information will be used to optimize the work schedule by price or speed.

The next question is what to do with the shop floor operators?

We can enter them as work centers and indicate in the route map what operations they perform. We may not enter them as work centers, but indicate the time of loading/unloading equipment in the parameters of cutting/drilling operations as preparatory and finishing time.

Both options are acceptable; in the first case, you will receive a more detailed work schedule, in the second, you will simplify the work of the staff. The recommendations here are simple - proceed from the real needs of the business: why do you need to know how certain operations are performed; what can you do with this information; Are you demotivating people with unnecessary bureaucracy?

The video lecture at the end of the MES section shows an option in which operators are involved as work centers. This was done for greater clarity, but not as a guide to action.

After entering the types of work centers and the work centers themselves, fill in their availability for periods of work scheduling.

Creating a route map

The route map is entered by analogy with the resource specification: only for one stage of production. It is necessary to indicate the materials consumed, labor costs, manufactured products, and waste. And also fill out a list of operations performed at work centers.

As work centers, you can select the work center itself or a type of work centers. In the first option, the program will immediately plan work specifically for the selected equipment; in the second, it will select an available work center at the time of scheduling operations.

Operations must be specified exactly in accordance with the technology - in the sequence in which they are performed. Particular attention must be paid to operations that are performed in parallel, otherwise the program will not be able to build the correct work schedule.

Materials, products, waste are assigned to the operations in which they are consumed/produced. Materials that are consumed in parallel operations must be properly tied up, similarly with products and waste.

When entering operations, it is worth considering the possibility of using the “PZ time (preparatory-final)” parameter to hide unnecessary detail of actions.

In the route map and operations, the frequency of production must be correctly specified, depending on the specifics of the technical requirements. process.

Some frequently asked questions and their answers:

The machine produces 10 parts in parallel, how to correctly set the route map for this technical. process?

Filling out the route map should be based on the simultaneous production of ten units of product.

Our machine uses expensive equipment, which is also in short supply. We need to plan both the operation of the machine and the use of equipment at the same time. How to configure the program correctly?

Get a special one. tooling as a work center. Use the “Auxiliary Work Centers” tab of the operation. Indicate there the special used in the operation. equipment

The working process on a lathe is as follows: replacing equipment - 1 min., installing the workpiece - 1 min., turning work - 5 min., removing the part - 1 min., cleaning the machine - 1 min. How can we correctly enter this data into the program?

Consider not using the MES subsystem for planning and using only production phases. Your tech. the process contains many manual operations that are highly dependent on human factors. Possible everyday reasons (a person went to the toilet) will lead to the need for you to regularly update the work schedule. This will not work in a large enterprise.

If, for some reason, there is a need to use MES, use the “PZ Time” parameter to hide unnecessary details. In your case, there will be one operation “Turning” with a duration of 5 minutes. Its “Flash Time” parameter is 3 minutes. (installation of the part, removal, cleaning). Another minute must be specified as the setup duration for the “Lathes” work center type. Also indicate the operational management method “Registration of deviations” with a standard time for registration of at least 30 minutes. This way you will minimize overhead costs for maintaining the main work process and will not distract employees over trifles.

In different tech. processes have repeating sequences of operations. How can we make sure that they can be entered into the program once and used as needed?

When adding a new operation to a route map, instead of the operation, you can add route maps that already exist in the program - as a nested route. Create separate route cards for repeating operations (let's call them templates) and use them as needed.

Creating a Resource Specification

After the route maps are entered, you need to create a resource specification.

There is an interesting feature here. Let's return to our fur workshop. processing - in those. The process involves several work centers, should this be considered a multi-step process? No, it’s not necessary - otherwise the program will plan work for each type of work center separately at different planning intervals, and the work schedule will be incorrect. You must have one route map for the entire tech. workpiece manufacturing process (cutting + drilling + related operations) and one resource specification with one stage. It will need to be filled out based on the created route map.

Otherwise, filling out the resource specification does not differ from what was done previously.

Scheme of operation of the MES subsystem

In the program, we have configured production capacities, entered route maps and resource specifications, created a production order - we can begin planning.

Work of PDO and production logistics service:

    Production stages are created according to the order.

    The stages are provided with materials.

    A production schedule is formed - stages are distributed among workshops, by types of work centers, and by available planning intervals. The schedule is maintained.

Work of the shop manager (not yet implemented in MES version 2.2, but available in version 2.1):

Based on the created production stages, a detailed production schedule is generated in the workshop (currently this information is stored in the “Routing Sheet” document). The automated workplace "MES production dispatching" is used. When creating a schedule, the selected planning model (schedule optimization criteria) is taken into account.

The schedule specifies exactly at what point in time what operation will be performed at a particular work center.

After saving the schedule, the operations are available in the equipment operator’s workstation “Performing operations”. Depending on which method of operational management is chosen in the department, the operator must either mark the operations being performed (accept them for work/mark completion) or register only the deviations that have arisen in those. process (defects, delay in starting work, etc.).

If delays occur during the work, a problem indication appears in the workshop dispatcher’s workstation “MES Production Dispatch”. He recalculates the work schedule.

In some cases, delays can affect not only the state of affairs within the workshop, but also the entire production process as a whole (when a production order is carried out across several workshops). In such a situation, a problem is automatically indicated in the workplace of PDO employees. Problem orders and production stages will be shown (not yet implemented in part of MES version 2.2). The PDO specialist can rebuild the production schedule to eliminate discrepancies.

A video demonstrating the use of the MES subsystem is in the full version of the course at the link.

Conclusion and achieved results

Using fairly simple program settings and standard 1C:ERP functionality, we were able to cover all production planning needs:

    The work schedule is built with an accuracy of 1 minute.

    When planning, all the subtleties of the technological process are taken into account.

    Planning of work, equipment, personnel, specials is carried out. rigging.

    All participants in the process are provided with convenient automated workstations in the program.

    Problems that arise in production operations are automatically escalated to the required level of decision-making for their automated elimination.

The functionality of the MES program is open for improvements - you can quite easily, using the 1C platform or using the mechanism of external 1C components, connect and control from the program any production equipment that has a data exchange interface. Have you heard somewhere that “1C” is only accounting? This is silly. Most likely, the author of the statement is simply poorly versed in the subject.

The ability to manage large-scale production in 1C:ERP using the example of the shipbuilding industry

Preliminary remarks

This section will not contain a detailed description of all the features of setting up a program for such tasks; rather, these are general considerations that may be useful to those who are puzzled by the choice of a future enterprise management system.

Let's look at the features of shipbuilding:

Each vessel is a separate project, which most often has targeted funding.

The project completion period is measured in several months and sometimes years. A significant part of the time is spent on drawing up normative and reference documentation for the project. Sometimes the design of a ship is carried out in parallel with its construction.

The construction of a ship is a combination of “pull” management methods at the top level (the entire shipbuilding enterprise works with one goal - to complete the project) with serial “push” production of individual workshops.

Production facilities can be located at a considerable distance from each other - the area of ​​a shipbuilding plant is measured in tens of square kilometers. Internal transportation of purchased and finished units may require the use of rail transport.

Production work must be fully balanced with logistics, both internal and external.

In general, this is an extremely complex production, comparable in complexity to the rocket and space industry. In terms of duration of work, it exceeds the aviation industry, and in complexity it is comparable to it.

Examples of using 1C:ERP functionality to manage a shipyard

Management of project normative and reference documentation

"1C:ERP" does not contain built-in CAD tools, but supports extensive integration with other programs. You can upload a document of any format into the system; the main requirement is a description of the structure of the uploaded data.

There are many ready-made processing in the 1C language that exchange data with various CAD systems. The specialists of the Razdolye VC company had experience in designing the integration of 1C:UPP and 1C:ERP with several different solutions.

Taking into account the rich capabilities of 1C:ERP, there is no doubt that the program has sufficient functionality in terms of organizing regulatory and reference information for work in the industry.

A few more advantages of the program:

    Ability to store versions of objects. When designing a vessel, it is often necessary to develop documentation iteratively - the designer proposes a design solution, which is agreed upon and clarified by technologists and suppliers. Sometimes there are several solutions, sometimes you need to “roll back” to the previous version of the document. All this can be organized in 1C:ERP.

    The ability to approve project documents - this functionality is available in a simplified form in 1C:ERP itself, but the presence of “seamless” integration with 1C:Document Flow allows you to solve the problem of approving documents of any degree of complexity.

    Possibility of storing external files and integrating a file archive with program reference books. Quite often, in addition to the production standard (resource specification), it is required to have access to a product sketch. "1C:ERP" allows you, if necessary, to attach an external file to any directory and document. For external files, the option to store versions is also available.

Project management

Since shipbuilding is a project work, appropriate project management tools play an important role. What can 1C:ERP offer here?

    The presence of “seamless” integration with “1C: Document Flow” allows you to obtain software that is not inferior in functionality to the “Microsoft Project” program.

    The ability to integrate 1C:ERP with solutions from Primavera Systems allows you to manage shipbuilding projects in a familiar environment and upload generated project tasks to 1C:ERP, where they will be used for enterprise management.

    The availability of ready-made, specialized 1C:ERP modifications for project management will help you completely eliminate additional tools.

Targeted project financing

Ships are never built just like that - for sale; most often there is a specific customer who has already made a significant advance and wants to know what his money is being spent on.

If we are talking about a military or government order, then these requirements are even stricter. How can 1C:ERP help here?

The program has an accounting “separator” - the direction of activity. In the case of shipbuilding, this will be a project. In accordance with the areas of activity, you can divide income and expenses, and cash flow. It is quite easy to use standard tools to set up a financial budgeting system for projects and organize the necessary treasury.

Since 2015, the program has supported the requirements of Federal Law 275.

I would also like to note that the Razdolye Computer Center is a recognized leader in the automation of defense enterprises and we have extensive in-house developments in this area. Moreover, several automation projects for defense enterprises have already been completed using 1C:ERP, where one of the main requirements of the customer was the requirement to organize separate order accounting.

Procurement management

The shipbuilding enterprise purchases a lot of materials, parts, finished components and equipment. An important requirement may be the organization of separate purchases, when the customer of the vessel needs to know what was purchased and in what volume, for what needs it was spent.

Separate support mechanisms “1C:ERP” will help here. You can link all purchases to assignments (your projects) and track the fate of any item in the program, no matter how it moves across warehouses and departments.

Sales management

Selling a vessel is a rather complex, multi-stage negotiation process. The 1C:ERP CRM subsystem will help us here, as well as integration with 1C:Document Flow:

    You can conduct full-fledged pre-sales activities in the program: schedule and monitor meetings, negotiations, calls.

    You can use the program's built-in email client so that no commercial information is lost.

    You can build a sales business process in the program and control the stages, build a sales funnel.

    Project documents (commercial proposals, draft contracts and agreements) can be stored and agreed upon in the program.

    You can organize an electronic secretariat in the program - all your incoming and outgoing messages will be delivered to their intended destination, and you will be able to control the response time and actions taken.

    This is all integrated with each other and integrated with other 1C:ERP subsystems - a CRM transaction turns into a legal contract, it is agreed upon in the program, a project is planned, the project turns into a production order, and so on. This is linked to ongoing parallel negotiations with customers/suppliers.

    The results of all activities can be displayed in the subsystem for monitoring target indicators (projects) and work can be managed on-line.

Manufacturing control

Although the shipbuilding industry is extremely complex, this complexity is more “quantitative” than “qualitative”. The main thing here is to choose the right management tools from 1C:ERP and then there will be no problems.

    Use the “pull” management methodology wisely - your project is an order under which the entire enterprise works.

    Use production plans for serial production shops. Fill out plans automatically, based on the needs of ongoing projects, taking into account serial production.

    Take advantage of the fact that you can add materials, etc., to production stages as needed. This will help solve problems caused by the fact that at the time of launching the project you do not yet have all the project documentation.

    Use supply diagrams, indicate standard stocks of materials - this will facilitate planning and allow you to automate the processes of supplying production with materials.

    Approach wisely when describing production technologies in the program. Excessive detail can be a disservice. Let the process here be iterative.

    Actively use the mechanism of additional details of program objects: characteristics and series of items. Use them to obtain “universal” resource specifications, which will be automatically recalculated in the program according to the specified parameters of the required products.

    Create production master data management processes in the program (use the connection with 1C: Document Flow).

    Connect your logisticians and production managers through support mechanisms. If they work as one team, there will be much fewer problems in production.

    Organize automated workstations in the workshops for storekeepers, accountants, and production employees - this will allow you to manage the enterprise on-line.

    Set up automated downloading of design and regulatory documentation for a project from CAD systems. Automate document approval processes in the program. This will significantly speed up the work.

    Contact the Razdolye EC company, we employ specialists who have worked in the industry for quite a long time and know the specifics of complex industries.

All these are rather banal recommendations and they are unlikely to become some kind of “revelation”. But the main production tasks in shipbuilding coincide with the tasks of other manufacturing enterprises, only they can be aggravated by the scale of the plant. Therefore, an important stage for any management activities here will always be the stage of planning and organizing work, as well as the availability of qualified specialists.

Conclusion

Is it possible to use “1C:ERP” in shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, etc.? It is possible, and this is not “propaganda”, but the result of long-term reflection and modeling carried out by the employees of the Razdolye Exhibition Center. In addition to our developments in this direction, there are examples of already working solutions or automation projects that are in one or another stage of readiness from other partners of the 1C company.

Will the program require modifications here? Probably yes, they will mainly be related to the organization of the project management process. Although you can try using ready-made tools.

Will this require some “fantastic” hardware resources (servers, etc.)? Most likely, part of the equipment fleet will need to be updated. But these investments will be necessary regardless of whether you choose 1C:ERP or an enterprise management program produced by some well-known foreign company.

Another thing is that the difference in the price of projects for implementing these software products will be such that if you choose “1C:ERP”, you will not only pay for the entire automation project for a smaller amount, but also buy all the necessary servers with the remaining funds. And there will still be money left for a motivation fund for project participants.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, it is impossible to cover all the issues related to the use of 1C:ERP in production in one course.

We have tried here to give you the largest number of live examples of practical use of the program in your work. We hope that they were and will be useful to you. The course materials will be supplemented, we will send out course updates to all those who have registered on our website (registration via the link).

We plan to continue to talk about examples of using the 1C:ERP program. These will be similar courses on the functionality of the program (budgeting and planning, sales, purchasing, logistics) - register and we will promptly send course updates and new materials.

Later, training materials will be released that will give examples of setting up and using the program in certain industries - chemistry, food industry, mechanical engineering, etc. We'd love to hear from you about what you'd like to know about the program.

Specialists of the Razdolye-Consult company conduct free on-site express examinations; we are ready to come to you and estimate the cost of work to automate your enterprise and the business result that will be obtained after implementing the program. Travel to Moscow and the Moscow region is free; in case of travel to the regions, you must pay for travel and accommodation for company specialists (express examination working group of 1-2 people).

If you yourself are a company implementing 1C products and you need help on a project, we are ready to provide methodological and installation supervision services. We are also ready to conduct joint seminars for your potential clients.

In this article we will look at the instructions using a simple example of reflecting production operations in 1C 8.3 “for dummies”, starting with the receipt of materials and ending with the release of finished products.

In our step-by-step example, we will produce a product in 1C 8.3 - a chair.

Before we produce anything, we need to purchase materials (boards, nails and varnish). In 1C: Accounting, this operation is reflected in the document “Receipts (acts, invoices)”. The type of operation in this case will be “Goods (invoice)”. Materials arrive on the tenth count.

We will not fill out this document in detail. If you have any difficulties, we recommend reading or watching the video:

Specification

You can go to the specifications of an item from its card in the directory (submenu “More”).

From the list form, you can create a new specification and specify an existing one as the main one.

Let's create a new specification and fill out its tabular part.

By default, the first specification created will automatically be set as the main one for this product. In our case, the production of one chair requires 1 board, 100 grams of nails and 800 milliliters of varnish.

Write-off of materials

Most often, materials in 1C 8.3 are written off for production either or:

  • TN is usually used in cases where there is no connection to a specific finished product. For example, we write off consumables, general business expenses, etc.
  • The production report for a shift writes off materials for a specific product.

Request-invoice

This document is located in the “Production” section.

Fill in the organization and division in the header of the document. Next, add all write-off items and their quantities to the materials table.

The cost account will be entered automatically when posting the document. If you need to change it, for example, instead of the main production, specify general business expenses, set the flag in the item “Cost accounts on the “Materials” tab.” In the column of the table of materials that appears, make all the necessary changes.

In our example, we will write down only three of our own materials. We will not use customer materials.

When posted, this invoice requirement will generate three movements along.

For a detailed article on this operation, read the article or watch the video using stationery as an example:

Release of finished products using the Shift Production Report

Now let's look at how to make a similar write-off, but with reference to a specific product. This is usually done using the “Shift Production Report” document. It is also located in the “Production” section.

In the header, select the organization, division and cost division. The default cost account is 01/20.

On the first “Products” tab, add a line and select our “Carved Chair”. Immediately after this, the main specification and accounting account will be automatically entered. If necessary, the values ​​in these columns can be changed.

We will not fill out anything on the services and return waste tab. Let's move on to filling out the materials.

On the last tab “Materials”, click on the “Fill” button and all data will appear here automatically from the specified specification. In our case, three materials were added: board, nails and varnish.

This document generated four entries: one for the production of “Carved Chair” products and three for the write-off of materials (boards, nails, varnish) into production.

Conclusion

If you compare the movements of the demand invoice and the production report for a shift, it is easy to see the difference between the purpose of these documents.

  • The invoice requirement generates only transactions for writing off materials for production (Dt 20.01 – Kt 10.01).
  • The production report for the shift makes absolutely identical write-off entries, but also releases finished products (Dt 43 - Kt 20.01).

In this regard, do not write off materials to production using an invoice requirement if you are already writing them off with a production report for the shift. Otherwise, this material will simply be written off twice.

The 20th account itself is closed at the end of the month with the corresponding regulatory operation to close the month.

We briefly reviewed the process of releasing finished products and accounting for production costs in 1C 8.3. Next, you can sell these inventory items to our customers using the document.

Step-by-step instructions for the process of accounting for simple production in 1C Accounting 8.3.

Typically, all production accounting comes down to several stages:

  1. posting of materials
  2. transferring them to production
  3. return from finished product production
  4. calculation of product costs

Receipt of goods and input of product specifications

As they say, the theater begins with a hanger, and the production process, whatever one may say, begins with the well-known document “Receipts of goods and services.” We'll just have the materials arrive.

We will not describe the preparation of the receipt document (materials are received on the 10th invoice).

We will produce the LED lamp “SIUS-3000-CXA”. Let’s create a new nomenclature unit with the same name in the 1C “Nomenclature” directory.

Now you need to indicate what the lamp will be made from, or rather, create a product specification (for more information about specifications, see the article Components of items in 1C). Expand the “Production” section in the product card and create a new specification:

What the lamp consists of has been determined; the necessary components have been registered and are in the warehouse. You can start the production process in 1C 8.3. Let's take a brief look at how this happens and what documents will have to be created.

To write off materials for your own production in the 1C program, two documents are usually used:

  • The invoice requirement is used to reflect general business and production costs. In this case, expenses are allocated to products using the regulatory procedure “Calculation of cost” at “Closing the month”.
  • The production report for a shift allows you to distribute direct costs (materials and services) to specific items of finished products, which are recorded on the “Materials” and “Services” tabs.

Under no circumstances should you complete two of these documents at once.

Invoice requirement: transfer of materials to production

We will transfer the materials to production on the 20th account. At the same time, they will be written off from the warehouse accordingly.

The “Requirement-invoice” document is used to transfer materials from the warehouse to production. Go to the “Production” menu and click on the “Requirements-invoices” link.

The “Demand invoice” document is used when it is necessary to write off materials that cannot be linked to a specific product. An example of such materials is office supplies, fuels and lubricants, consumables and other general production or general business expenses.

Let's create a new document. Fill in the required header details. In the tabular part of the document, we select the materials needed for production according to the specification. The quantity may be greater, the main thing is that it is enough to produce the planned volume of products:

Let's run the document and see what transactions it generated in 1C:

In fact, this document forms (not counting indirect costs) the cost of production, that is, it transfers costs from account 10 to January 20.

To reflect other, indirect costs, in the header of the document “Request-invoice” you need to uncheck the “Cost accounts on the “Materials” tab” checkbox. Then another tab “Cost Account” will appear. By specifying it, you can write off expenses that are not directly related to production, but participate in the formation of cost.

The “Shift Production Report” document is most often used to reflect the direct costs of producing a specific unit of finished product.

We fill out the header of the new document and go to the “Products” tabular section. We add the previously installed lamp “SIUS-3000-CXA” from the “Nomenclature” directory. We indicate the quantity and planned price. Why planned?

Because we don’t yet know the exact cost of the lamp; it will be formed later, at the end of the billing period, namely at the end of the month by the regulatory procedure “Closing the month“.

Next, we indicate accounting account 43 - finished products and select a specification (each finished product may have several specifications, depending on the availability of certain materials or modifications of the product):

The “Services” tab displays services provided by third-party contractors and related to the production process. Let's add here, for example, a service for delivering materials.

On the “Materials” tab, by clicking the “Fill” button, we will transfer the materials from the selected specification to the tabular section. The quantity will be calculated automatically based on the specified volume of finished products:

Note! If you have already written off materials using the “Requirements invoice” document, you do not need to write it off a second time. Otherwise, your materials will be written off twice.

We conduct a report for the shift and see what it has generated for us:

Let's move on to summing up the results. When posting the “Demand-invoice” document, turnover is generated in the debit of the 20th account. This is what went into production.

Also, as a result of our actions, materials were written off from the warehouse, from the 10th account. And at the same time, finished products appeared in the warehouse, on account 43 - the LED lamp "SIUS-3000-CXA".

As mentioned above, the difference between the debit and credit of the 20th account (that is, the actual cost) is closed by the “Month Closing” regulatory procedure.
