Charging actual hours and quantities to a work order as each manufacturing step is completed.
You use the reporting features to:
Generate reports that compare actual values with planned values and indicate the variance between the two.
Generate shortage reports by item or work order to identify potential manufacturing constraints due to a lack of required components.
Print shop floor paperwork, such as work orders, parts lists, and routing instructions for items.
Review daily work lists to monitor job status, identify queue problems at work centers, and flag other areas, such as engineering changes or lost material.
You use the material tracking features to:
Create a parts list automatically when you run the Order Processing program (R31410).
Attach the parts list and routing instructions to the work order and print shop floor paperwork.

Discrete, process, and repetitive manufacturing all use bills of material and routing instructions. The bills of material contain individual parts or components, such as nuts, bolts, wire, plastic, or metal parts of a fixed or variable quantity. Products can be broken down into subassemblies that go into various larger assemblies. The routing instructions include the operations to be performed, their sequence, the various work centers involved, and the standards for setting up and running the operations.
All types of manufacturing use the term item for both the raw materials and finished goods. Not all items are planned, scheduled, or produced in their primary unit of measure. To accommodate this fact, full unit of measure capabilities are allowed throughout JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management. Most entry programs have a Unit of Measure field next to the quantity fields. The unit of measure is stored in the database tables with the quantities. Throughout JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, the system uses the values in these three fields in the Item Master table (F4101) as default values in entry forms:
Component Unit of Measure
Production Unit of Measure
Primary Unit of Measure
The value in the Primary Unit of Measure field must be the smallest of the three units of measure.
See Defining Default Units of Measure for Bulk Items in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Bulk Stock Management Implementation Guide, if the company uses or manufactures bulk product
Discrete Manufacturing
Discrete manufacturing is typically characterized by these conditions:
Work orders produce a specific quantity of a single item for a specific completion date.
Routing instructions are a series of independent operations.
Components can be manually issued with the release of the work order, backflushed at the completion of the work order, or both.
Discrete manufacturing is most often used in these manufacturing environments:
Make-to-stock, using either a highly repetitive or process order-based system.
Any of the to-order strategies, such as make-to-order, assemble-to-order, or engineer-to-order.
The one-off or job shop environment
Discrete manufacturing is used to produce items such as:
Cars
Furniture
Electronics
Airplanes
Process Manufacturing
Process manufacturing is typically characterized by these conditions:
Work orders produce multiple items, both co-products and by-products, for a specific completion date.
Routing instructions are a series of dependent operations that work together continuously.
Products are often produced in batches or with a continuous process.
Components or ingredients are often stated in terms of a recipe or formula.
Quantities of components or ingredients can vary according to their grade or potency.
Components or ingredients can be issued by preflushing with the release of the work order or backflushed at the completion of the work order.
Process manufacturing is most often used to produce:
Pharmaceuticals.
Foods and beverages.
Raw materials such as lumber, metals, and fluids.
The different types of processing in process manufacturing consist of:
Type of processing |
Description |
Batch processing |
In batch processing, a product is usually made in a standard run or lot-size that is determined by vessel size, line rates, or a length of standard run. Items are typically scheduled in short production runs due to the life cycle of the product after its completion. Typical items might be pharmaceuticals, foods, inks, glues, oil or chemical products, and paints. A co-products and by-products list might be generated during batch processing. |
Continuous processing |
In continuous (or flow) processing, the production period is typically extended, using dedicated equipment that produces one product or product line with slight variations. This method of manufacturing is characterized by the difficulty of planning and controlling variances in quantity and quality yield. Typical items might be petroleum-based products or distilled seawater. Co-products and by-products are generally more prevalent in continuous processing than in batch processing. |
Strategies that are similar to discrete manufacturing, including repetitive or any of the to-orders strategies (such as, make-to-order, assemble-to-order, or engineer-to-order) might be used to control the process. Usually, both batch and continuous processing methods require extensive record-keeping. You must track quality and tolerance values during the process, as well as strictly adhere to lot tracing and lot tracking. You use lot tracing to display the items that are assigned to a lot. You use lot tracking to display the items that are removed from a lot.
Repetitive Manufacturing
Repetitive manufacturing is typically characterized by these conditions:
Production lines are dedicated to a family of products.
Product families share similar components and routing instructions.
Products are often manufactured in a continuous process that requires less inventory movement to and from the production line.
Work center setup and changeover times between related products are minimized.
Production is defined in units per hour. The time spent at the operational level might or might not be important. Therefore, you must be able to set up line capacity and define routing instructions in units per hour at the line level. The fundamental basis for backscheduling and capacity planning is hours. To view information in units, the system uses a conversion factor defined at the work center level.
Visual cues, called kanbans, control material movement. Kanbans represent predetermined quantities of components at specified locations on the production line. They are designed to minimize work-in-process inventories.
