  • Material To Produce

    • This is the product being made. In this case 4600033 = RAW MIX
  • Resource

    • This is the equipment making the product, in this case the equipment 500RM1 = Raw Mill 1.  The prefix 500 is a unique plant code
  • Material

    • This is the material we are sending a number for
      • 4600033 = RAW MIX
      • 4600041 = PRE BLEND
      • 4600040 = FLY ASH
      • 4600029 = LIMESTONE FINES
      • 4600038 = SAND
      • 4600039 = IRON
  • Type of Movement

    • This indicates a production or consumption value
      • 101 = PRODUCTION
      • 102 = NEGATIVE PRODUCTION
      • 261 = CONSUMPTION
      • 262 = NEGATIVE CONSUMPTION
      • 531 = BYPRODUCT MOVEMENT
      • 532 = NEGATIVE BYPRODUCT MOVEMENT
  • Produced Value

    • If this is a production (type of movement = 101 or 102) then this will have a value
    • If not production, this will be 0
  • Machine Time

    • Number of hours the machine operated for the day
  • Date This Started

    • Start DATE for the day = MMDDYYYY
  • Time Started

    • Start TIME for the day = HHmmSS
  • Date Ended

    • End DATE for the day = MMDDYYYY
  • Time Ended

    • End TIME for the day = HHmmSS
  • Consumed Value

    • If this is a consumption (type of movement = 261,262,531,532) then this will have a value
    • If not a consumption, this will be 0
  • Batch

    • If this is a byproduct or non-finished-good, the PLANT CODE where it came from
    • If site A makes clinker, ships it to site B, site B consumes it, then the BATCH would be the plant code for SITE A
  • Production Order Number

    • The unique production order number generated by the accounting system
    • This is imported at the beginning of the month
    • This generally has a TARGET or BUDGET associated with it.
