Shop Floor Statuses
Shop floor statuses help you control assembly move transactions on the shop floor. You can define as many shop floor statuses as are required.
You can restrict moves transactions by assigning "no move" shop floor statuses to intraoperation steps within job and repetitive line/assembly association operations. Shop floor statuses can be used to restrict the movement of an assembly out of a "no move" intraoperation step. For example, you can define a no move shop floor status, QAHold, then assign this status to the intraoperation step of a job operation
Shop floor statuses can be optionally used to restrict over a 'no move' intraoperation steps and out of operations that have outside processing resources assigned to them. These two optional uses of shop floor statuses are controlled by WIP parameters and are described below.
Restricting Moves Over 'No Move' Intraoperation Steps
When the WIP Allow Moves Over No Move Shop Floor Statuses Parameter is not set, the system checks all autocharge operations and To Move, Run and Queue intraoperation steps between the From and To operations and intraoperation steps for 'no move' statuses. The system also checks the statuses of intervening intraoperation steps at the From and To operations if those operations are direct charge. If a status that can prevent moves is found, the move is disallowed. Direct charge operations between the From and To Operations and statuses at Scrap and Reject intraoperation steps do not prevent moves.
Additional Information: The Move Transactions: Allow Skipping Over No Move Statuses security function can be set to override "no move" shop floor statuses. See: Security Functions.
The following table and examples illustrate how these rules are applied.

Parameter On
If the WIP Allow Moves Over No Move Shop Floor Statuses Parameter is set, standard shop floor status logic is applied and only moves from intraoperation steps that have 'no move' statuses are prohibited. In this example, you cannot move assemblies from the To Move intraoperation step of operation 20, from the Scrap intraoperation step of operation 30, and from the Run and Reject intraoperation steps of operation 40.
Note: You can move assemblies from these operations and intraoperation steps after disabling or deleting their 'no move' statuses.
Parameter Off
If the WIP Allow Moves Over No Move Shop Floor Statuses Parameter is not set, both standard shop floor status and 'no move' logic are applied. Again, you cannot move assemblies from the To Move intraoperation step of operation 20, from the Scrap intraoperation step of operation 30, and from the Run and Reject intraoperation steps of operation 40. In addition, the following moves are also prohibited:
- You cannot move assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of operation 10 to the Scrap intraoperation step of operation 20 because of the 'no move' shop floor status at the To Move intraoperation step of operation 20, a direct charge operation.
- You cannot move assemblies backward from the To Move intraoperation step of operation 40 to the Queue intraoperation step of operation 40 because of the intervening 'no move' at the Run intraoperation step.
- You cannot move assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of operation 10 to the To Move intraoperation step of operation 40 because of the 'no move' status at the Run intraoperation step of operation 40.
- You cannot move and complete assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of operation 10 to the To Move intraoperation step of the last operation, operation 40, because of the 'no move' status at the Run intraoperation step of operation 40.
The following move transactions, however, are not prohibited:
- You can move and complete assemblies from the To Move intraoperation step of operation 40 because the 'no move' status at the Reject intraoperation step of operation 40 is not considered.
- You can move assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of operation 10 to the Queue intraoperation step of operation 30 Queue because 'no move' status at the To Move intraoperation step of operation 20 is on the intraoperation step of an intervening direct charge operation.
- You can move assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of operation 10 to the Reject of operation 30 because the intervening 'no move' status at the Scrap intraoperation of operation 30 is not considered.
- You can move assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step at operation 10 into the Run intraoperation step of operation 40 because you can move into an operation and step with a 'no move' status without restrictions.
Additional Information: Move transactions loaded through the Open Move Transaction Interface are checked for No Move statuses as well.
Shop Floor Status for PO Move Resources Parameter
Selecting a 'no move' shop floor status sets the Shop Floor Status for PO Move Resources Parameter. When this parameter is set, as you move assemblies into the Queue intraoperation step of an outside processing operation, the specified 'no move' shop floor status is automatically assigned to the To Move (Queue) intraoperation step. Assemblies are only moved out of this operation and step when a purchase order receipt transaction in Oracle Purchasing launches the move transaction.
Using this parameter ensures that the same number of assemblies are moved into and out of Queue at an outside processing step. Problems in tracking work in process and cost variances are thus avoided. See: Requisitioning Outside Processing Items.
