1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business need for the project


Dynamics AX as ERP system gathers lot of different data depending on the product usage in the
company, starting from financial data and ending with data from manufacturing, master planning,
human recourses, strategic planning etc. This data is often used by third party products for
reporting and data warehousing purposes. Currently it is lack of information about data model
inside Dynamics AX applications. It is difficult to understand what data is stored in which table and
how these tables are linked to each other. To get this understanding you have to use Dynamics AX
development environment tools and know also product functionality in order to find out best way for
analyses and reporting system based on Dynamics AX data model.

Goal of the current document is to describe main Dynamics AX data tables for the experts who are
not Dynamics AX professionals and want to get data form AX tables for further analyses and
reporting purposes.

Documentation approach
To achieve documentation goals, about describing data model for third party application usage,
each functional Dynamics AX module should next documentation topics to be covered:
1. Main tables relational structure for each documented module
2. Main tables key aggregate data columns description
3. Main tables dimension columns description and filtering suggestions
4. Hints and suggestions how to build and use most common queries in particular business
functionality area

Documentation areas
Document covers next functional areas in Dynamics AX (ordered by general interest towards this
module data):
1. General ledger and Tax
2. Banking
3. Accounts receivables
4. Accounts payables
5. Inventory management
6. Production
7. Project

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Data structure description principles


Current document is created to assist people from data varehousing area to understand Microsoft
Dynamics AX (AX) data structure and find relevan information for reporting and alanyses purposes.
There fore only selected tables are included to the document. Selection principle is functional areas
description regarding central fact and dimension data.
Also not all fields from selected tables are described in the document. Setup and lonx text type
fields are often left out as these have no importance in terms of analyses and reporting.
In the table description there are pointed out dield data type (INTEGER, CHAR(10), REAL etc.).
These are default data types that can be modified accordingly to the customer needs (especially
CRAR type of fields). Therefore it might happen that in real implementation data type for certain
field is other than defined in current document.
Not alla data relations between described tables are defined in the drawings. Relations that are not
so relevand or are evidential are not incuded into the drawings.

2.2 Dynamics AX overall data structure information


Dynamics AX datastructure is described in AX development anviroment, which sommunicates with
SQL server to sünchronize table changes to the SQL server. AX database itself is located in SQL
server. In SQL server level there are defined following objects: tables, fields, primary keys, check
constraints, default values, indexes.
Table primary key / foreign key constraints are not defined in SQL server but stored in AX. It means
that there is not possible (or is wery dangerous) to update or upload data directly to the SQL
database, as business logics controls are defined in AX only. Lot of transactional relations and
primary keys are based on RecId, what is AX generated unique value and creation outside AX
business logis can couse mess in the database.

2.2.1 Currencies
There are three different currency calcilations in AX environment, transaction currency, company
currency and secondary currency.
Transaction currency is currency what is used in relevant transaction (invoice currency, general
ledger transaction currency etc.) Currency code (field named usually CurrencyCode) and rate for
that currency are usually stored in the same table than currency amount.
Company Currency is defined in company information table (CompanyInfo). All transactions are
converted to the company currency accordingly to the currency rate defined in the transaction.
Amount fields meant for company currency are usually ending with capital characters “MST”.
Secondary currency adds possibility to keeb accounting transactions in two different accounting
currencies. This can be used if local company is part of bigger corporation and local and corporate
accounting currencies are different. Secondary currency is also widely used in European countries
who have their own currency, but due to the joining euro zone accounting should be done in two
currencies. Amount fields meant for secondary currency are usually ending with “MSTSecond”.

2.2.2 Table naming


Tables in AX solution are named by certain rule for better understandinf the data model. Usually
first part of table name is defining the functional area that certain taibel is related to. Taböe naming
are following

Table prefix Functional area

3 DYNAMICS AX DATA STRUCTURES

3.1 Ledger transaction data model

The core part of an ERP system is general ledger (GL), and at the center of general ledger is the
table where all ledger transactions are recorded in cumulative manner. In Dynamics AX, the table
where ledger transactions are stored is called “LedgerTrans”. The following chapter will describe
the key tables storing data regarding general ledger transactions.. It also describes different
dimensions that can be used for analytical purposes.
The table structure around GL transaction tables is shown in diagram 1. Next, we will look at these
tables and content inside of these tables.
Diagram 1 shows three tables that are dimension type tables (LedgerTable, LedgerTableInterval
and Dimensions) and three other tables that are fact tables (LedgerTrans, LedgerBalancesTrans,
LedgerbalancesDimTrans). LedgerTable is register for financial accounting ledger accounts and
LedgerTableInterval is the setup table where the grouping of different LedgerTable accounts are
described. The Dimensions is the table where additional attributes of the transactions for analytical
purposes are recorded (dimensions in AX are cross system attributes for designed analyses, not
only related with General Ledger functionality). As mentioned earlier, the LedgerTrans table is the
central table where all ledger transactions are stored. The tables LedgerBalancesTrans,
LedgerbalancesDimTrans consist of aggregated data based on data found in LedgerTrans. In
diagram 1, there ale also two views, LedgerBalances and LedgerBalancesDim, that are inturn
aggregated data from tables LedgerBalancesTrans and LedgerbalancesDimTrans.
Table descriptions in more detail:

3.1.1 LedgerTable
LedgerTable describes the chart of accounts. Most of the fields in this table are table are dedicated to general
ledger setup and transaction control. This table can be used as a dimensions table for the LedgerTrans,
LedgerTrans aggregation tables (LedgerBalancesTrans, LedgerbalancesDimTrans), and it can be used as an
aggregated view for ledger balances (LedgerBalancesTrans, LedgerbalancesDimTrans).

Field name Data type Field description

AccountNum CHAR(20) Unique identifier of accounts in the current table. It represents the
account number in the chart of accounts. Sometimes suggested
structure of this code is defined by local law. Based on the value of
this field, financial statements like a balance sheet and a profit and
loss statement are created.
The format of the AccountNum value usually represents the logical
structure of the company balance and profit and loss statement
(accounts starting with 1 are assets while accounts starting with 2
are liabilities etc.)

AccountName CHAR(60) The long name of the account. It can be used as additional
attribute or display name for the dimension.

AccountPIType INTEGER Field that describes the type of the account. This field is an

Page 7

enumerated value in AX, but it is stored as integer in a SQL


database. The AccountPIType field can have one of the following
values:

SQL AX value Description


value

0 AccountOperations Profit & Loss type account (not


defined if it is profit or loss)

1 AccountRevenue Profit & Loss type account (defined


as revenue account)

2 AccountCost Profit & Loss type account (defined


as cost account)

3 AccountStatus Balance type account (not defined


if it is asset or liability)

4 AccountActive Balance type account (defined as


asset account)

5 AccountLiable Balance type account (defined as


liability account)

6 Heading Heading type account designed for


reporting design in AX

7 HeadingEmpty Heading type account designed for


reporting design in AX

8 HeadingPage Heading type account designed for


reporting design in AX

9 sum Summary account that sums


accounts with AccountPIType 0-5
incl. Has relation to
LedgerTableInterval where
summing intervals are defined.

10 AccountGroup Summary account like the previous


item. The difference is that the
summing intervals are added to
the table LedgerTableInterval
automatically based on the GL
setting

RecId INTEGER Unique identifier in table.

3.1.2 Dimensions
This table contains analytical dimension values that are used in different transaction tables in the AX modules.
AX default dimensions are department (marketing, financials, production etc.), cost centres (production line no
1, Building x etc.), Projects (project1, project2 etc.). By default in AX there are these three dimensions
available. If needed, additional dimensions can be created to company data model. Dimension foreign key
fields in transaction and setup tables are named as following:
st
1 dimension – DIMENSION

Page 8
Documentation, Dynamics AX 4.0 data model overview, Version .1 Draft
Prepared by Fred Viidul
"AX40datamodel.doc" last modified on 24 Sep. 08, Rev 3
Prepared for Microsoft Corporation

2nd dimension – DIMENSON2_


3rd dimension – DIMENSION3_
4th dimension – DIMENSION4_
Etc.
Each of these fields refers to the “Dimensions” table “Num” field which has relevant DimensionCode.

Field name Data type Field description

DimensionCode INTEGER Numeric value that describes the dimension sequence to what
dimension value is related:
Value 0 means that Dimension.Num = LedgerTable.Dimension
Value 1 means that Dimension.Num = LedgerTable.Dimension2_
Value 2 means that Dimension.Num = LedgerTable.Dimension3_
Etc.
This relation model is common in AX where dimensions are used

Num CHAR(20) Dimension value for analysis purposes. Can be used as an


analysis dimension when creating analyses cubes

Description CHAR(60) Dimension description. Can be used as additional attribute or


display name for the dimension

InCarge CHAR(10) Relation to EmplTable (Dimensions.InCharge =


EmplTable.EmplId). EmplTable is used to store information about
company employees so each dimension can have an employee
attached to its value. This structure makes available to group
dimensions by employees.

CompanyGroup CHAR(10) Dimension transformational value for consolidation purposes. The


value in the “Num” field is replaced by the value in the
“CompanyGroup” field during the consolidation process (if the
transformation is used)

Closed INTEGER Yes / No type field where Yes indicates, that dimension is closed
and cannot be used in transactions.
Possible values are:

SQL AX value
value

0 No

1 Yes

3.1.3 LedgerTableInterval
A Table that is related to the LedgerTable lines where AccountPIType is 9 or 10. This table can be used for
dimension hierarchy design for ledger account number grouping purposes

Field name Data type Field description

AccountTableID INTEGER Table ID of the relevant table, for the intervals that are described.

Page 9
Documentation, Dynamics AX 4.0 data model overview, Version .1 Draft
Prepared by Fred Viidul
"AX40datamodel.doc" last modified on 24 Sep. 08, Rev 3
Prepared for Microsoft Corporation

Ledger intervals can be defined for different tables.


AccountTableId referring to LedgerTable has value 221.

AccountRecId INTEGER Part of the table’s primary key that refers to the specific row in the
LedgerAccounts table

RecId INTEGER Unique row identifier in the table. RecId is part of the primary key

FromAccount CHAR(20) Reference to the LedgerTable.AccountNum field which identifies


the beginning of the summing interval

ToAccount CHAR(20) Reference to the LedgerTable.AccountNum field which identifies


the end of the summing interval

3.1.4 LedgerTrans
Central table in general ledger where all financial transactions are posted. Transactions in this table can be
created directly using GL journals or indirectly through other AX modules. This table can have (depending on
setup) the most detailed level of information regarding financial transactions. If no transaction level information
is needed, then it is more reasonable to use already aggregated data from views generated from the
LedgerTrans (LedgerBalancesTrans, LedgerbalancesDimTrans)

Field name Data type Field description

RecId INTEGER Unique row identifier in table and the primary key

Voucher CHAR(20) Ledger transaction identifier. Several number series are applied
to this identifier as AX creates GL transactions from various
locations. Sometimes the first or last few digits in the voucher
number remain the same by identifying the process that created
the transaction. For example AP006723, where “AP” stands for
account payables and is the identifying process in AX. In some
cases where such rules are used, these prefixes or suffixes can
also be used for analytical purposes.

AccountNum CHAR(20) General ledger account number , foreign key to


Ledgertable.AccountNum. One of the key analysis value in GL

TransDate DATE Date of transaction

AmountMST DECIMAL(28;12) Amounts in the company currency that is defined in


CompanyInfo.CurrencyCode. Amounts can be positive or
negative. Negative transactions are not always credit
transactions. The Transaction type is specified by the
LedgerTrans.Crediting field. If the field has a value of 1 the
transaction is a credit type transaction.

AmountCUR DECIMAL(28;12) Amounts in the transaction currency that is defined in


Ledgertrans.CurrencyCode. Amounts can be positive or
negative. Negative transactions are not always credit
transactions. The transaction type is specified by the
LedgerTrans.Crediting field. If the field has a value of1 the
transaction is a credit type transaction.

CurrencyCode CHAR(3) Currency code defining the transaction currency

TransType INTEGER Identifies which AX module created the transaction. In some


cases this field can be also blank (GL journals transactions,
fixed asset acquisition, opening transactions, currency rounding)
In following table all possible TransType values are listed:

description)

Dimension3_ CHAR(10) Analytical Dimension no. 3 value (see also table “Dimensions”
description)

Qty DECIMAL(28;12) In journals the transaction quantity can also be defined.

DocumentDate DATE Date of the document. The document can have a different date
than the transaction (for example invoice date and invoice
posting date)

JournalNum CHAR(10) AX transactions are prepared in journals and then posted by the
system where also GL transactions are created. This field refers
to the specific journal in the module where the current
transaction is prepared and posted.

JournalizeNo CHAR(20) As described in the previous field, AX transactions are entered


to the GL through a number of different journals in different
modules. It is possible to group all these transactions to the
special journal to get s better overview about transactions in the
system. These journals are usually created periodically and can
contain, for example, all transactions for one month.

JournalizeSeqNum INTEGER This field identifies the sequence order of the transaction
belonging to the journal described in field “JournalizeNo”

Posting The field describes which AX process created the transaction in


the table. For example daily journal transaction value is 14
(LedgerJournal)
Using this field it is easy to separate transactions by their
creation origin.

Correct INTEGER Yes / No type field where information is stored if the current
transaction is a correction transaction.
Yes indicates, that transaction is correction type transaction and
debit and credit amounts are accounted with negative signs, not
to influence credit / and debit turnover. Correction type
transactions are eliminating previously made transactions, that
need to be cancelled (for example invoice crediting routine).
Values in SQL table are:

1 Normal Usual transactions that are created


during the financial year

2 Closing Transactions belonging to the


closing period. These transactions
usually represent specific financial
year closing procedures created by
accountants.

OperationsTax INTEGER Represents the transactions posting layer to general


ledger. According to this field, transactions can be
separated and different accounting principles can be
used. For example, different depreciation profiles for
fixed assets can be used for tax accounting and the
posting layer can be used to separate these
transactions from general accounting.

posting functionality

TaxRefId Tax transactions are created in a specific tax transaction


table TaxTrans. To ensure unique relationship between
transactions in LedgerTrans and TaxTrans current field is
created, because transaction umber (Voucher) might not be
unique in table LedgerTrans.
Relation model:
LedgerTrans.Voucher = Tactrans.Voucher
LedgerTrans.TaxRefId = Tactrans.TaxRefId

3.1.5 LedgerBalancesTrans
Table contains aggregated data from the LedgerTrans table. Debit and credit transactions from the
LedgerTrans.AmountMST and LedgerTrans.AmountMSTSecond fields are stored in different fields separating
the debit and credit turnover. Also, separation is made for different posting layer transactions based on the
field LedgerTrans OperationsTax. So from one field storing transaction amount (like AmountMST), six different
fields are created, where subsets of that field total amount are stored.
The aggregation level in the table is not best for the reporting. Due to performance considerations a new field
was added to the table primary key “LedgerBalancesVariant”. This field reduces the locking problem inside the
AX data structure, but on the other hand the table needs some further aggregation in order to be optimal for
reporting (see p. 3.1.7). Table aggregation is done by five primary keys.

3.2 Tax system setup data model


In the current chapter AX tax system data model is defined. This part of AX data model explains
from database side how the tax transactions are created and how different tax codes are working
together.
Sales tax calculation in AX has two sides: inventory side and customer/vendor side. As shown in
figure 2, source tables where default tax setup is defined are CustTable (customer register) or
VendTable (vendor register, depend if it is sales or purchase) and InventTable (inventory register).
CustTable and VendTable contain tax code from table TaxGroupHeading. Central table in Tax
calculation setup is TaxTable. Tax calculations specified in this table are grouped together in
TaxGroupData by using values from TaxGroupHeading table. Using this structure (see figure 2)
customer and vendor registers are related with one or more tax codes in table TaxTable.
Similar structure is used when linking TaxTable codes with item codes from InventTable. Difference
here is one additional table InventTableModule. This table contains three lines for every line in
InventTable. These three lines are inventory setup for purchase, stock keeping and sales, where
also tax information from table TaxItemGroupHeading is stored. For item taxation purposes tax
grouping is arranged where TaxTable codes are grouped by using table TaxOnItem by using
values from TaxItemGroupHeading table. Using this structure (see figure 2) inventory register is
related with one or more tax codes in table TaxTable.
For each transaction where tax should be calculated there must be two tax codes defined, one from
table TaxGroupHeading and another from TaxItemGroupHeading. Default values are inherited from
customer/vendor table and InventTable as described above. Before transaction posting it is usually
possible to possible to adjust tax group combination setup. Both these tax codes have one or more
tax codes from TaxTable grouped under it. When tax is going to be calculated, only these tax
codes from TaxTable are activated what are defined in both relevant tax groups
(TaxIGroupHeading and TaxItemGroupHeading).
Created tax transactions are stored in table TaxTrans.
Tax rates are stored in table TaData

3.3 Tax transaction data model


Central table where all tax related transactions are stored is TaxTrans (see figure 3). Around this
table several dimension tables can be defined. Most of tax calculation and analysis information is
stored in table TaxTable. This table has list of different tax codes in use and also there can be
defined several analysis codes for tax amounts reporting. List of analyses codes for tax reporting is
stored in table TaxReportCollection.
TaxReportVoucher is table where periodical tax payment reports and transaction codes are stored.
Based on the taxation rules it is periodical job where calculated tax amounts are summed up and
liabilities for tax authorities are recognized.
TaxTrans has relation also to the Dimensions, LedgerTable and LedgerTrans tables. Most of tax
transactions have financial transactions linked to it. LedgerTrans is containing financial transaction
information (for detailed description see p. 3.1.4).
Figure 4

3.3.1 TaxTable
Central register for tax calculation codes. Table contains tax calculation principles and several fields for different
analysis and reporting codes.
All fields having names starting with “RepField…” are meant for tax analyses purposes. AX has special logics when
creating tax analysis reports on top of these reporting codes. At the same time by knowing purpose of the fields in
TaxTrans table and using reporting code combination tax reporting solutions can be created using third party products.

be defined in this table.
Budgeting transactions can be created automatically from other Dynamics AX modules:
- Master Planning: Forecastmodel, ForecastPurch and ForecastSales are tables that have
relation with LedgerBudget table in case budgeting transactions are created automatically from
master planning module.
- Project: ProjTransBudget table has relation with LedgerBudget table in case budgeting
transactions are created automatically from the master planning module.

to general ledger (table LedgerTrans).
2. AssetDepBookTrans – fixed asset transactions what are not related with general ledger. This
functionality provides additional opportunity to asset analyses.
3. AssetBudget – table that contains fixed asset budget transactions. These transactions can be
converted to general ledger budget.
Below there are detailed descriptions about these three data structures

Below two different data structures for accounts receivables are described:
1. CustTrans – central table for customer transactions. Based on that table customer balance can
be calculated. All invoices and payments are recorded to this table and also link between
invoice and payment is maintained.
2. CustInvoiceTrans – this table contains invoice line information. By using this information sales
analyses can be performed answering questions like:
a. What items and services are sold to what customers
b. Which items/services are best selling
c. What are sale margins and cost price for sales

more information regarding the InventTrans relation to the other AX modules see drawing
TransTables). The Inventory variations are recorded in the InventDim table. InventSum table
contains already aggregated data (inventory stock levels, ordered inventory etc.) based on the
transactions in InventTrans table. The main inventory register is stored in the InventTable, where
also lots of inventory configuration parameters are defined. InventTable has 1 to 3 relations to the

etc. Information about each of this property is not stored in transaction tables, but InventDim table has all
possible inventory dimensions combination list. Unique ID from this table is used in inventory transaction
tables to specify additional inventory properties defined with inventory dimensions.
For example, we calculate using table CustInvoiceTrans that company has sold 100 cars. Information that 60
of them are red and 40 are black is stored in InventDim, as each sales line refers to dimension combination ID
where dimension value is either read or black.

3.9 Production General data model


Microsoft Dynamics AX production module is flexible and powerful system to handle different production types.
Main tables of production module are described in data diagram. Production module is closely integrated with
inventory, warehouse management, sales, purchase and ledger modules. Main dimension tables are
ProdTable and WrkCtrTable but module has a lot of other dimension tables.
Main transaction tables are ProdRouteTrans and InventTrans (not described here). Production module has
also several tables what are used for capacity and materials planning and production cost estimation. These
tables are ProdBOM, ProdRoute and ProdRouteJob.
Active capacity reservations are kept in table WrkCtrCapRes.
Production transactions summary (from estimation and production feedback) are saved in table
ProdCalcTrans.
Production module has also a lot of journals what are used for entering production materials cost and rote
consumption, these tables are not described in this data model.

Each production can be attached to a production group. The


production group can control posting of item consumption,
items in process, and work center consumption and work
centers in process.

The group can also be used as a limit in reports. You can


select a group from the created production groups.

If you want to use productions groups without any accounting


consequences, you should use production pools instead.
ProdStatus ENUM Production status

Shows exactly where the production order is in the overall


production cycle. The production status is automatically
updated every time that update or scheduling is run on a
production order.

The typical life cycle of a production order begins with the start
of the production process when the order is first created. The
order is automatically assigned the Created status at this
point.

Status updates for subsequent phases include: Estimated,


Planned, Released, Started, Reported as finished, and Ended.

This is table where items which will be used for production order are recorded.
The production BOM is a list of the materials used in production. The materials are described with item
number and consumption, as well as a range of other data used for processing in the production system.

Production BOMs are based on Bills of material from the base data, as the production BOM is generated in
connection with Production creation as a copy of a bill of material from base data. In that way, it is the bill of
material for the item being produced in production, which is copied to the production BOM. The only exception
is if the item has no bill of materials, and no BOM number was given upon its creation. In that case, the
production BOM will be blank.

RoundUp ENUM This field allows you to round or cost estimated quantity to
RoundUpQty. Use rounding if the raw materials are always
used in fixed quantities.

SQL AX value Description


value

0 No Do not use rounding.

1 Qty This ensures that will


always be rounded.

2 MeasureConfig Round using Measurement


if raw material is available
only with predefined
dimensions. If you need to
take the above into account
when calculating the
consumption, use rounding
to Measurement and set
RoundUpQty to 5. The
rounding is calculated by
first determining the sales
quantity on the basis of the
measurement dimensions
and then determining the
number of times the
measurement dimension
figure can be included in
RoundUpQty The sales
quantity is then rounded
down to 0 (zero) decimals.
Now you can estimate the
quantity by calculating how
many multiples of the value
in field RoundUpQty is to
be used in order to produce
a given quantity.

3 Consumption When you use Rounding-


up Consumption the
calculated estimated
quantity is always rounded
so that it can be divided
equally with the value of
RoundUpQty Rounding-up
to Consumption is used
when the total consumption
of a raw material only can
be carried out using a pre-
defined quantity and the
remainder is then regarded
as loss.

RoundUpQty REAL Multiples quantity for rounding.

3.9.4 ProdRoute
Route can be defined as a series of interdependent work processes that are structured in such a manner that
they describe the work procedures involved in the production of one or more items produced by the company,
including the work centers and processes through which the item passes.

Production routes are based on Routes from base data, as the production route is generated in connection

with Production creation as a copy of a route from base data. Thus, it is the route for the item for which a
production order is being created that is copied to the production route. The only exception is if the item has
no route and no route number was given for the item upon its creation. In that case, the production route is
blank.

The production route is an independent element where you are free to edit, insert, or delete information
without it affecting a corresponding route in the base data.
Field name Data type Field description
Displays operations in the selected Production that can be
ProdId STRING(20) changed or updated.
Define the operation number, which is an alphanumeric string of
OprNum INTEGER up to ten characters.

The operation number defines the sequence for the operation


that the production should go through. When you create a new
production route, 10 is automatically suggested as the first
operation number. Subsequent operation numbers will be
suggested as having increments of 10. You can change them
manually. If simultaneous operations are to be created, the
operations must be created with the same operation number.
Do this when several work centers are to be used
simultaneously. The relationship between simultaneous
operations is defined in Priority. The next operation to be
executed is defined in the Next field. If the operation is the last
operation, Next is defined as zero.
Level INTEGER
Displays the next operation number in the route network. It
OprNumNext INTEGER shows which Operation follows the current Operation. The last
Operation in the route network is defined as 0 (zero).
OprId STRING(10) Displays the operation in the production route that uses
Group or the attached Work center. You can define a
unique identification for the operation that is to be included in
the production route and choose the operation in the drop-
down list. This displays a list of all created operations. You
can also enter the operation manually.

Operations cannot be created with the same Oper. No. and


which use the same work center. An operation cannot be
included in the route more than once.

WrkCtrId STRING(10) Identify the work center or work center group to be used for
the operation.

TaskGroupId STRING(10) Specify a task group for searching for alternative work
centers. The field is used together with Job requirement of
the scheduling system when you search for alternative work
centers. Alternative work centers are sought when a conflict
arises concerning the work center specified for the operation.
Conflicts occur when there is insufficient capacity in the time
frame being scheduled for.
Displays the waiting time for Operation. Queue time before is
QueueTimeBefore REAL always positive. This time is scheduled according to the
Gregorian calendar and can be used with subcontractor work.
If selected, the setup time for clearing the work center is
SetupTime REAL included in the estimate. Setup time shows the fixed time that
is used to clear a work center. The time is scheduled on the
basis of the calendar of the defined work center. It is not
dependant on the production quantity. Similarly, a capacity
loading of the work center time is carried out in connection with
scheduling.

Priority is used in controlling simultaneous operations.
OprPriority ENUM Simultaneous operations are characterized by the fact that they
appropriate several work centers at the same time. This is done
by giving the same Oper. No. to all operations that are to be
executed simultaneously.

The priority determines which operation is the primary one. The


primary operation should be the operation loading the work
center that is regarded as the bottleneck for simultaneous
operations. A bottleneck work center is not defined in any
special way in the system, because individual routes and
productions determine which work centers form the bottleneck.
A work center regarded as a bottleneck on one route, and

therefore defined as primary for simultaneous operations on that


route, can be secondary on another route. If the operation is not
primary, the times from the primary operation are used to
schedule the secondary operation. This means that the times do
not have to be specified for secondary operations. If there are
no parallel operations for an Oper. No., the operation should be
created with the priority of primary.

3.9.7 WrkCtrTable
This is table that includes resources for manufacturing called work centers. Work centers with similar functions
in the production process are usually assigned to the same work center group. The parameters for the group
are the default parameters for each work center in this group. This eliminates the need to define parameters
for each work center individually.

Work center groups are used to manage capacity in the company's production system. The company's work
centers are divided into 2 levels, i.e., and Work center. Group is primarily used in operations scheduling and is
therefore a superior level of capacity management.

Work center groups can be of the : Vendor ,Human resources Machine or Tool.

If the jobs/operations are carried out by an external work center (sub supplier), then when the Supplier is
selected, no capacity reservation will be made for machine capacity, although the planned time for the
supplier will be calculated as a production time in connection with scheduling.

It is possible to schedule operations for both the work center group and the work center. However, work
centers must always be associated with a , and the work center group must be associated with at least one
Work center. If the operation in the production route is associated with a Group, then the capacities of all
underlying work centers will be included in operations scheduling. Not until job scheduling with the optimum
in the chosen Group is selected.

Field name Data type Field description

QueueTimeBefore REAL This field shows the time to wait before the operation can
be started. The value in the field must be positive. You set
up the field in the route group, where you can determine
whether queue time should be scheduled and which
calendar to use. Queue time can be used for sub supplier
work, for example.

SetupTime REAL The , which must be positive, is the fixed time to be used
for preparing a work center. Whether the time should be
scheduled, and whether capacity should be reserved or
the time should respect the working-time calendar
depends on the route group.

ProcessTime REAL Run time shows the time it takes to produce the process
quantity. If you did not specify a conversion factor in the
ToHours field for the route operation or the ToHours field
for the work center, then Run time is filled in automatically
with hours with two decimals. If you entered a value in
ToHours for the route operation, then the ToHours for
the work center will be overridden. ProcessPerQty must
be positive. For a description of conversion to other units
of time, see ToHours. The time is scheduled in relation to
the operation's TaskGroupId.

ProcessPerQty REAL Number of items that can be produced in the given


ProcessTime. Process qty. must be greater than 0 (zero).

TranspTime REAL Transit time shows the time it takes to move items
between two work centers or from the last operation to
inventory. How TranspTime is used depends on the setup
for the operation's route group. The transport time must be
positive.
The field value is transferred to the route operation when
you select the work center.

QueueTimeAfter REAL Queue time after is the time that the items have to wait
after the operation is finished before the next operation
can start. The field must be positive. The value in the field
will depend on the setup for the route group in
ProcessTime and can follow the Gregorian calendar or the
current working-time calendar. For example, you could
use the field to dry items before the start of the next
operation.
The overlap quantity is used to calculate the overlap time.
TransferBatch REAL The field value must be positive. Overlap time can be defined
as the minimum production time before overlap may occur.
Overlap time is scheduled according to the calendar and is
calculated in the following manner:

ProcessTime * (1 + Accumulated scrap pct) *


TransferBatch / ProcessPerQty

The setup for the route group will determine the choice of
calendar. Accumulated scrap pct is the accumulated scrap
percentage in the production process. If TransferBatch is 0
(zero) or greater than the quantity for the production, then the
overlap time will be 0 (zero).
Conversion factor to hours. (Factor X Time) = Time in hours.
ToHours REAL
Scrap percentage shows the expected extra consumption for
ErrorPct REAL the operation. The extra consumption is included in the

calculation of both the material consumption and the work


center consumption for the current operation. The field must
be positive. Value is summarized from the Accumulated field
for the current route. Accumulated is used in the calculation
of extra consumption of materials and work center time for
the individual operations in the route. The formula for the
calculation is as follows: is Accumulated for the next
operation number * 100 / (100 - ErrorPct)

will be limited. With limited capacity, operations or jobs are
scheduled on the basis that it is not possible to engage
more capacity than what is available on the work center
group or work center. With unlimited capacity, already
reserved capacity on a work center group or work center
is not taken into account, which renders subsequent
reservations without meaning.

Project transactions data structure has several tables in the data model map. In central position
there is ProjTransPosting table, which consolidates all different project module transactions into the
one table. There five different project transaction types and each of them have its own register
(ProjEmplTrans, ProjOnAccountTrans, ProjRevenueTrans, ProjCostTrans, ProjItemTrans). These
five transaction tables contain more specific information depending on the transaction type and
these tables are synchronizing their content with the ProjTransPosting central table. ProjTable is
central register for projects, where also different project parameters are stored.
In the data model there are also other central registers linked to the transactions, like employees
(EmplTable), inventory (InventTable), chart of accounts (LegerTable) etc.

3.12 Project forecast data structure


Project forecast data structure has several tables in the data model map. In central position there is
ProjTransBudget table, which consolidates all different project module forecast transactions into the
one table. There five different project forecast transaction types and each of them has its own
register (ProjForecastEmpl, ProjForecastOnAccount, ProjForecastRevenue, ProjForecastCost,
ForecastSales). These five transaction tables have more specific information regarding its
specification ant they are synchronizing its content to the ProjTransBudget table. ProjTable is
central register for projects, where also different project parameters are stored.
In case there is need to compare actual project costs with the project forecast, then comparison
between ProjTransPosting and ProjTransBudget should be done
In the data model there are also other central registers linked to the transactions, like employees
(EmplTable), inventory (InventTable), chart of accounts (LegerTable) etc.
