10.1 Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management for Apparel Management

After you enter style items and collections, bills of material, and routings, you can use programs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system to complete the manufacture of style items. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system enables you to manage and track manufacturing work orders.

Important:

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system supports discrete manufacturing only for style items.

Creating one work order for each style item is not ideal in many industries. A master work order is a comprehensive work order that corresponds to one or several style item root level 0 items. A master work order is a collection of individual standard manufacturing work orders that correspond to the child style items.

10.2 Working with Master Work Orders for Style Items

This section provides an overview of master work orders for style items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Master Work Order Processing for Style Items (PCW49).
Set processing options for Work Order Processing for Style Items (R31F410).
Enter master work order headers for style items.
Enter master work order details for style items.
Review master work orders for style items.
Create parts lists for master work orders for style items.
Revise parts lists for master work orders for style items.
Create routing instructions for master work orders for style items.
Process master work orders for style items.
Issue inventory to a master work order for style items.
Reverse inventory on a master work order for style items.
Complete master work orders for style items.

10.2.1 Understanding Master Work Orders for Style Items

A master work order is a comprehensive work order that corresponds to one or several style item root level 0 items. A master work order encompasses a group of related standard manufacturing work orders that correspond to the child style items. A master work order is not a parent work order.

The system calls the Matrix Entry program (PCW10) when you enter a style item root level 0 on the master work order.

(Release 9.1 Update) You can view the availability of selected style items at the parent level (style item root level 0) or child level (intermediate item level) for a branch/plant or all branch/plants on the Matrix Entry form. To view style item availability on the Matrix Entry form, you must embed the Style Item Availability form on the Matrix Entry form, and map the Selected Style Item field of the Matrix Entry form to the Style Item field of the Style Item Availability form.

See "Creating Embedded EnterpriseOne Form Content" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Composite Application Framework User's Guide.

You manage everything at the master work order level. You group your parts lists and enter the exact quantities to use. The system prorates the quantities between the different lines in the master work order to specify the actual amount of material required for each child work order.

The master work order has corresponding child work orders, such as numbers 1, 2, 3, and so on, for the child style items.

The Work Order Detail for Style Items table (FCW66) ties the master work order of the style item root level 0 to the standard work orders for the child style items.

This diagram illustrates a master work order and standard work orders for the associated child style items:

10.2.1.1 Collections

Collections for style items also integrate with master work orders. You can use a collection on the work order, however collection templates do not function with work orders.

You set collection processing options on the Collection tab of the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program. You enter collection information on the Status Type tab of the Master Work Order for Style Items form during master work order entry.

See Working with Collections Management.

See Working with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management for Apparel Management.

10.2.1.2 Example: Apparel Industry

An example of a master work order is the apparel-specific process of cutting fabric for one style. In apparel manufacturing, cutting fabrics may be called stack cutting or multiply cutting. Stack cutting consists of cutting 20–50 pieces of the same size at once. The width of the fabric is always assumed to be standard size. In fabric cutting, the sizes and styles are mixed to maximize the use of the fabric with the goal of minimizing waste.

In stack cutting of fabrics, one cutting operation can exist. If two fabrics or style item root level 0 items exist, then two master work orders are needed. From the two master work orders, ten standard work orders are created because the system creates one work order for each child style item.

10.2.1.3 Master Work Order Headers for Style Items

You use the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program (PCW49) to enter a work order header for the master work order.

For a master work order header, you enter the description, order type, branch/plant, and requested date for the master work order. You can also enter other optional information, such as the revision level for the bill of material and category codes.

Note:

You need not enter style item numbers in the header for the master work order.

The system stores the master work order header information in the Work Order Header for Style Items table (FCW65).

See "Entering Work Order Headers" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.

10.2.1.4 Master Work Order Details for Style Items

After entering the master work order header, you enter the style item root level 0 items in the master work order detail. The master work order detail supports the generation of each child work order. Each style item root level 0 that you enter on the master work order calls the Matrix Entry form to configure the child style items to include on the master work order.

Note:

(Release 9.1 Update) If the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system is integrated with the Composite Application Framework, you can view the availability of a style item on the Matrix Entry form. To view the style item availability, select the row for the style item and review the item availability information in the Style Item Availability subform.

When you save the master work order, the system generates the child level work orders. The system populates the grid with the work order number for each child style item.

The system stores the master work order details in the FCW66 table. The FCW66 table links to the Work Order Header for Style Items (FCW65) and Work Order Master File (F4801) tables.

10.2.1.5 Master Work Order Parts Lists for Style Items

You use the Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program (PCW50) to create and manage the consolidated parts list at the master work order level. You copy the bill of material for the style item root level 0 to create the parts list for the master work order. The system uses the batch quantity of 0 for the bill of material and routing. You can also run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) to create the parts list. You run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program to protect against performance issues when a master work order contains a significant number of child work orders or deep bills of material.

The calculation for the quantity in the Quantity Ordered field on the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form is (style item root level 0 quantity ordered by attribute) x (bill of material usage for the component) = (quantity of the component required to manufacture the ordered units of the style item).

This diagram shows an example of the quantity-ordered calculation:

Figure 10-2 Quantity ordered calculation example

Description of "Figure 10-2 Quantity ordered calculation example"

Total Quantity of component FBPJ.B = 25 + 37.5 + 112.5 + 125 = 300

You can also use the Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program to view, modify, and delete parts lists for master work orders. The system stores the parts lists for master work orders in the Style Work Order Parts List table (FCW67). The FCW67 table is a workfile and holds the consolidated view of all the child work order parts lists.

The system also enables the creation of parts lists by means of a batch program. You run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program to create the parts lists by setting data selection over the Work Order Detail for Style Items table (FCW66).

The Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program generates the standard parts lists for all child style item work orders. Once the child style item work orders are created, transactions and changes to the master work order are pushed down to the parts lists of the individual child style item work orders.

You group the parts lists and enter the exact amount to use. The system prorates the quantities between the different lines to specify the actual amount of material. Changes and additions of components are split over single work orders.

The system enables global changes to the work order parts list of the child style item work orders. You can:

Remove a component.
Change component quantity.
Add a new component.

When entering a new component you should specify a line number of an existing component for the system to base the split off of. Without an existing line number reference, the system cannot append a new component because it does not know how to split the quantity ordered across the single work orders.

Note:

The components must have records in the Item Structure Definition table (FCW02).

The system recalculates the parts list every time you use the Parts List option on the Row menu of the Master Work Order Revisions for Style Items form. The system pushes changes at the child style item work order level up to the master work order.

See "Attaching Parts Lists" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.

10.2.1.6 Master Work Order Routing Instructions for Style Items

You use the Work Order Routing for Style Items program (PCW52) to create routing instructions for master work orders. You can copy and delete routings at the master work order level using the Work Order Routing for Style Items program. You can also run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) to create the routing instructions. You run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program to protect against performance issues when a master work order contains a significant number of child work orders.

The routing is automatically copied to the master work order when a routing for the ordered quantity, or zero or non-zero batch quantity exists for the Item/Branch Plant/Type of Routing combination. The system automatically creates the routing when you attach a bill of material.

The master work order routing does not have management features similar to master parts lists. For example, after the child style item work orders are created, transactions and changes to the routing on the master work order are not pushed down to individual child style item work orders. You must maintain routing instructions at the child work order level.

The system pushes changes at the child work order level up to the master work order.

The system stores the routing instructions for master work orders in the Style Work Order Routings table (FCW68). The FCW68 table is a workfile and data is present in the table only at the time when the routing is attached.

Note:

You cannot perform backflush or super backflush at the master work order level using the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program. You can perform backflush or super backflush only at the child work order level using the Work with Work Order Completions program (P31114) and Super Backflush program (P31123) respectively.

See "Attaching Routing Instructions" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.

See "Working with Completions" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.

10.2.1.7 Master Work Order Processing for Style Items

You use the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program (PCW49) to create, process, and maintain master work orders for style items. After you create the master work order, you run the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) to attach the parts lists and routing instructions for each child work order.

The Work Order Processing for Style Items program updates the Work Order Parts List (F3111) and Work Order Routing (F3112) tables.

The source data for the Work Order Processing for Style Items program comes from three tables: Work Order Detail for Style Items (FCW66), Work Order Master File (F4801), and Work Order Master Tag File (F4801T). The FCW66 table stores the cross-reference between the master work order and its child work orders. The cross-reference information enables processing of all child style item work orders based on the master work order number.

Based on the data selection in the Work Order Processing for Style Items program, the system runs the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) for each child work order of the master work order. The Work Order Processing for Style Items program calls the Order Processing program (R31410), which processes the work orders to attach parts lists and routing instructions.

If you attach the parts list and routing instructions interactively, you can use the Work Order Processing for Style Items program to generate and print the shop paperwork. The system prints the parts list and routing instructions, shop packet summary, and shortage report based on the processing option settings of the Order Processing program. The system prints all the child work orders together in one output.

After all child work orders are processed, the master work order status is updated if the Master Work Order Detail processing option on the Edits tab is set to a value of 1. The system updates the status of the master work order with the status of the first child work order. Although a child work order is at status 10, the first child work order is at status 45 so the master work order will be at status 45. You use the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) to review the child work orders. You can also select a child work order on the Master Work Order Revisions for Style Items form and then select Update Child WO from the Row menu to launch the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program.

The Additional Style Item Information Work File table (FCW63) stores the master work order number derived from a next number bucket.

During master work order processing, the system uses the Work Order Header for Style Items table (FCW65) to enable data selection for outside operations. The system groups the outside operations.

This diagram illustrates the master work order process:

Figure 10-3 Master work order process

Description of "Figure 10-3 Master work order process"

10.2.1.8 Work Order Mass Update for Style Item Work Orders

When you make changes to the master work order, the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program (PCW49) makes the corresponding updates to the child work orders. This functionality includes the ability to perform a mass update of dates for child work orders associated with a master work order.

You can update the following dates by master work order:

Order Date (TRDJ)
Start Date (STRT)
Request Date (DRQJ)

The work order mass update process enables you to select and modify multiple work orders at one time. You can use the Search for Work Orders (P48022) and Work Order Mass Update (P48714) programs to select work orders to change, and enter the new values to assign to the work order records.

After you select the records to update and specify the new values, you run a batch program to update the work orders in the database. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software also provides the Work Order Mass Update Template program (P48710) that enables you to set up templates with default values for the fields to update, and to lock fields to prevent updates to the locked fields.

When you work with manufacturing work order mass updates, you can determine whether to include style items in your search for work orders to update. You set processing options in the Search for Work Orders program to set a default value for a check box to exclude style items, and to lock that filtering check box.

See "Using the Work Order Mass Update Process" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Work Orders Implementation Guide

10.2.1.9 Master Work Order Inventory Issues for Style Items

Inventory issues are made at the master work order level. You enter the total consumption of inventory for the master work order. The system splits the inventory issues of the master work order between the individual child work orders.

The system processes a batch inventory issue to record a total of what was used in the manufacturing process. The system does not process the issuing locations as determined based on availability.

The system uses elements of the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) to deduct the quantities that are issued to the shop floor through an issue transaction from inventory. This transaction reports the actual quantities and cost of materials that were used in the production process to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Accounting systems. You need to set up the Work Order Inventory Issues program to suggest issue quantities that are based upon the work order quantity.

When you initiate master work order inventory issues for style items from the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program (PCW49), the system limits the number of visible parts list attributes and input capable fields. The following fields are input capable on the Issues tab of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form (WCW50E):

Issues (TRQT)
Location (LOCN)
Lot/Serial Number (LOTN)

You can issue a quantity that is equal to, less than, or greater than the order quantity on the master work order. For a full inventory issue, the split of consumption by work order is based on the quantity on the child work order.

For a partial issue, the system spreads the issue of each component to the child work orders based on the percentage of the child work orders to the total issue. When issuing a partial quantity on the master work order, the system spreads the quantity to all the child work orders without rounding up the quantity. For example, if the order has an issue quantity of 100 buttons and you partial issue 26 buttons, then the master work order shows that 26 buttons have been issued. The system spreads the 26 buttons to the individual child work orders by the percentage that each work order represents. The system does not round up the issue quantity so that only whole numbers of buttons are issued to each child work order.

You can set the Issue Material for processing option on the Display Options tab of the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program to a value of 1 to have the system automatically suggest issue quantities. If you set the Issue Material for processing option to blank, then you must manually enter a quantity on the Issues tab on the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form.

When issuing material to the master work order, the system supports splitting to multiple locations. You can perform multiple location issues to a master work order using the Multi Location option on the Row menu of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. When performing a multiple location issue, the system limits the issue to nine locations per component that can be returned to the Issues form.

After you enter quantity and location information on the Issues tab, you click OK on the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. The system runs the Work Order Issues for Style Items program (R41F050) to process the inventory issues for the child work orders.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program (PCW50) for the master work order and the Work Order Issues for Style Items program for child work orders. Record reservation helps ensure the integrity of the data and prevents data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other manufacturing program. Thus, the system does not enable you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application.

The Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program locks the master work order. When the Work Order Issues for Style Items program runs to process inventory issues for child work orders, the system activates record reservation by work order number so that only the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs can access the records in the Work Order Header for Style Items (FCW65) and Work Order Master File (F4801) tables. If the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs encounter a work order that is already locked by another application within the manufacturing system, then the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs send a message to the Work Center and do not process the work order. You must re-submit the work order for processing.

The Work Order Issues for Style Items program issues inventory to the associated child work orders. After the inventory issues processing is complete, the system removes record reservation on the work orders so that another user or application can access the record to update information in the tables.

If you run the Work Order Issues for Style Items program for the child work orders of a master work order and the Work Order Inventory Issues (P31113), Work Order Completions (P31114), Component Scrap (P31116), Super Backflush (P31123), Hours and Quantities (P311221), or Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013) programs try to access the work order, then you receive a message that the file is locked. You must wait until the system releases the records to process them. However, you can view the records.

When a program that uses record reservation is interrupted, orphaned reservation records might remain in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). This can occur, for example, when technicians are working with a server, or when a workstation shuts down without warning. If an interruption stops one of the programs in the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed.

Note:

If you click the Cancel button on the Printer Selection form while running the program, then the master work order record remains locked by the system.

You can use the Remove Business Object Reservation program (P00095) to release unwanted record reservations. This program stores reservation information in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095).

You can also select Issues from the Row menu in the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) to issue material to a child style item work order.

If you use serialized components, then you issue the serialized components at the individual child style item work order level.

You can use the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) to perform inventory issues at the master work order level when you use preflushing. If you perform preflushing, then you do not perform inventory issues at the child work order level.

You can backflush components by accessing the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) from the Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013), Work Order Completions (P31114), and Super Backflush (P31123) programs.

Note:

The system does not support unplanned issues for master work orders.

You can reverse issues to a master work order using the Reversal option on the Row menu of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. When reversing a master work order issue, the system spreads the reversal back through all of the child work orders. The system performs reversals for partial issues, completions, and over issues.

If you issued a component across multiple locations and must perform a reverse issue, then the system spreads the entire quantity issued for that location based on the percentage that the quantity represents for each child work order. If the issued lot and location was not blank during the original issue and the quantity is reversed, then the lot and location remains the same in the parts list.

When you issue inventory to a master work order, the Work Order Issues for Style Items program generates a portable document format (PDF) file which specifies whether the batch completed successfully or ended with errors. If inventory issues to the child work orders completed normally, then the PDF indicates that the report completed with success. If inventory issues completed with errors, then the PDF indicates that errors occurred and to check the Work Center for messages. The report completes in error only when hard errors occur during inventory issues processing. Although warning messages may exist in the Work Center, the PDF indicates that the report completed successfully.

See "Working with Issues, Material Movement, and Kanbans" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.

10.2.1.10 Master Work Order Completions for Style Items

You use the Work Order Completions Matrix Entry program (PCW46) to complete a master work order using a matrix form. The result is the completion of child work orders as well as completion of the master work order.

You can also review the quantities of child style items on a master work order in a matrix form using the Detail Matrix option on the Row menu of the Work with Master Work Orders for Style Items form (WCW49A).

You perform manual completions at the master work order level only. If you want to perform backflush or super backflush, then you must perform the completion at the child work order level.

See "Completing Discrete Work Orders" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Shop Floor Management Implementation Guide.
