Overview of Shop Floor Management Setup
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management requires some setup before you can use the system. Setup for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management includes identifying the codes needed for work orders, such as priority, status, and category codes, and defining the information needed for discrete, process, and repetitive manufacturing, such as shop floor calendars, work centers, and so on.
You must also set up information that is necessary for manufacturing, such as generic messages, shop floor calendars, manufacturing constants, work centers, resource units, and item-to-line relationships.
Prerequisites
Before you set up JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, you must:
Set up records in these tables in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system:
Item Master table (F4101)
Item Branch File table (F4102)
Verify that all of the items that you want to control by kanbans are set up and that the kanbans are generated and printed.
Set up the work centers and dispatch groups as valid business units in the Revise Single Business Unit program (P0006).
Set up processing options for the Work Center Revisions program (P3006).
Define work days for the branch or plant in the shop floor calendar.
User-Defined Codes for Work Orders
Many fields throughout JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management accept only user-defined codes (UDCs) for work orders. You need to define these UDCs for manufacturing work orders.
UDCs are stored in tables by system and code type. For example, system 31, type OS represents JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management and a UDC called operation status. To set up operation status codes for work orders, use the User Defined Codes program (P0004A). If you enter an operation status code on another form that you did not identify as an operation status code in the User Defined Codes program, the system displays an error message. For example, in the Operation Status Code field, you can enter only those codes that exist in UDC 31/OS.
You can access all codes through a single user-defined code form. You can access the UDC form by entering UDC in the fast path. After you select a UDC from a menu, you can change the values in the System Code and User Defined Code fields to access another UDC table. The system stores UDCs in the User Defined Codes table (F0005).
This table describes the UDCs for work orders:
|
User-Defined Code |
Description |
|
Work Order/Engineering Change Order (ECO) type codes indicate the classification of a work order. For example, rework orders might be type R, and design orders might be type D. |
|
|
Work order priority codes indicate the priority of a work order in relation to other work orders. These codes are for reference only and do not affect the scheduling or planning of work. Do not use these codes as the formal priority system. |
|
|
Work order status codes describe the status of an order or the current step in the process of implementing a work order. You can prevent certain transactions from occurring, based on the status of a work order. For instance, the system can hold work orders for which the status indicates that they are pending approval or quality inspection, and release work orders that have status codes indicating that they have been approved or have passed quality inspection. You can also set up the system to automatically update the work order status code when you enter issue and completion transactions. |
|
|
Phase and matter codes indicate the implementation phase of the work order. You can use phase and matter codes to group families of orders for project management, cost accounting, and inquiry purposes. For example, if inspection on the internal parts of a product is not possible beyond a certain point in its production, you can divide the routing into phases. You can then use the phase code to indicate the availability of the product for the next level of inspection. |
|
|
Work order category codes can represent any category or description by which you want to group work orders for project management, cost accounting, or reviews. For example, you can set up one category code to represent types of problems that you might encounter during the work order implementation, such as improper startup or inadequate maintenance, and another code to represent locations in which the work is taking place. |
|
|
Work order operation status codes indicate the progress or status of an order during the steps that you follow in a particular operation. For example, you can set up codes to indicate whether materials have been received or work has begun at a particular operation. This code enables management to monitor the progress of operations that have longer run times, or shop floor personnel to indicate when items are ready to move to the next operation. |
|
|
Document type codes categorize information throughout the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems. You can specify up to 12 document types to use for work orders and rates in supply and demand calculations by entering them in the processing options for the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules program (P34004) in Material Planning. Manufacturing Accounting uses the document type to match the orders to the document types that are defined in the Automatic Accounting Instructions (AAIs) when you post journal entries to the general ledger. You can use the document type codes to categorize work orders by document type. For example, you can define document type codes to indicate rework orders, prototype orders, or repair orders. If you do not specify a document type on a new work order, the system enters a document type of WO (Firm Work Order). In the Codes field, enter the two-character document type code for which you want the system to track lot quantities. For example, enter OP to enable the system to track lot quantities for all purchase orders. |
|
|
Order type codes enable you to distinguish each work order record in the Work Order Master File table (F4801) from other records with different work order types. For example, you do not use the same document type and work order type to represent both an equipment work order and a manufacturing work order. The relationship between the document type and its related order type is defined in the Document Type Maintenance program (P40040). |
|
|
Unit of measure codes must be assigned to each item that you purchase, issue, manufacture, or sell. Each item can have as many as eight units of measure, but one must be identified as the primary unit of measure. You must also set up the conversion tables after you have set up all unit of measure and potent unit of measure codes. Potent units are units of measure for items with potency. The potent units always have a comparable code in UDC 00/UM. For example, if the company uses potency and measures product in gallons, you set up a code such as GA for gallon and a potent unit code such as GP for the potent gallon. When you set up potent units, you must enter P in the Special Handling Code field. When the system creates commitments for an item that is set up with a potent unit of measure, it converts the quantity to the primary unit of measure. For example, if you issue product in GP (potent gallons), the system converts it to the primary unit of measure of GA (gallons). |

Work Center Setup
You can maintain general information about a work center, such as pay points, prime load codes, number of machines and workers, crew size, and backflush locations. You set up work centers by branch/plant, which means that you can associate the same work center with multiple branch/plants. You can also define a unique shop floor calendar for a particular combination of work center and branch/plant.
From the Enter/Change Work Centers program (P3006), you can access business unit information to maintain business units and track costs.
Note. If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management and do not set up valid work center locations, the system interfaces with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management when you attach a parts list to a work order. If you set up valid work center locations before you attach a parts list, but the work order quantity exceeds the quantity that you have in the work center, the system uses JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management to create a pick request for the remaining quantity to fill the work order request. This process follows the rules that you define in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management.
Use the Enter/Change Work Centers program to set up production lines for repetitive manufacturing. This setup consists of linking work centers together to establish a specific repetitive line on which a product family will be manufactured.

Resource Unit Setup
Resource unit information indicates the capacity of a work center on a given day. The system uses this information to back-schedule work orders in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management and to calculate available hours for capacity planning.
You can manually change the values to account for scheduled or unscheduled downtime, additional shifts, or vacation time. However, each time that you run the Work Center Resource Units Generation program (R3007G), the system recalculates the form values based on information in the Work Center Revisions program (P3006), the Shop Floor Calendar program (P00071), and the Manufacturing Constants table (F3009), and then overwrites the changes that you entered manually, based on the effectivity dates that you specified in the processing options.
The Work Center Resource Units Generation program recalculates the work center hours and updates them on the Work Center Resource Units program (P3007). The system recalculates the resource units for a work center based on information in the Work Center Revisions program, the Shop Floor Calendar program, and Manufacturing Constants table. You can create versions to recalculate the labor, setup, or machine hours, and set the processing options to update different dates and branches.
The system multiplies the number of machines or employees by the work hours per day from the Work Center Revisions program. If the work hours per day are not available from the Work Center Revisions program, then the system uses the work hours per day from the Manufacturing Constants table that the system defines for each work day on the Shop Floor Calendar.
Resource unit calculations for machine- and labor-related hours are:
Machine-related hours (prime load code = C or M).
Number of machines multiplied by work hours per day
Labor-related hours (prime load code = L or B).
Number of employees multiplied by work hours per day

Revise shop floor calendars.
Understanding Shop Floor Calendar Setup
You can use the Shop Floor Calendar program (P00071) to define the work days by month and year for each branch or all branches in the system. The system uses this calendar to determine manufacturing schedules.
You can also define calendars by shift. The system uses these calendars for line scheduling and sequencing by shift in repetitive manufacturing. Shift calendars are not used for Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP), Master Production Scheduling (MPS), or Material Requirements Planning (MRP).
To increase plant capacity, manufacturers run production lines for more than one shift, as well as run different lines of production on different days of the week. You specify these shifts and lines in the Shop Floor Calendar program.
When you have not yet defined the shop floor calendar for the branch, month, and year, the system preloads default work days (Monday through Friday) and weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Holidays are always user-defined.

Setting Up Manufacturing Constants
This section provides an overview of Manufacturing Constants setup and discusses how to set up Manufacturing constants.
Understanding Manufacturing Constants Setup
You set up manufacturing constants to define branch-specific information that affects processing throughout the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing systems. You can use the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009) to specify the values for constants. This table describes the information that appears on each tab of the Manufacturing Constants program:
|
Tab |
Content |
|
Manufacturing constants |
These constants specify:
|
|
Shifts |
These constants specify the number of work hours that the plant typically operates in a day. |
|
Commitment Control |
These constants specify when inventory is committed and backflushed. |
|
Costing options |
These constants specify which overhead cost calculations are used and whether the system considers work center efficiency when it calculates direct labor and overhead costs. You can specify whether costs are maintained by cost components and work center or by cost component only. Costing options also include the source for machine and labor rates. |

The Operation Sequence field in the Bill of Material Master File table (F3002) determines the work center that is used. Note. You must create the work order routing before the parts list. If you are running the Work Order Generation program (R31410), you must set the Process tab, Parts List, and Routing Instructions processing option to 3 to generate the parts list and routing instructions at the same time. If you define a consuming location on the routing instructions, this location overrides the consuming location defined in the F30006 table. |
|
Status for Changes |
Specify the status beyond which work orders and rates can not be changed in the Line Scheduling and Line Sequencing Workbench programs. |
|
On-Line BOM Validation (on-line bill of material validation) |
Specify whether the system performs an online component or parent validation and low-level code assignment when you revise a bill of material. It is recommended that you validate items online unless the bills of material are extremely large. If you select not to validate items online, you must validate the items in batch. Run the Integrity Analysis program (R30601) after updates to the bill of material and before you run the Item Cost Component - Frozen Update program (R30835) or perform the DRP/MPS/MRP Generation program (R3482). To specify that the system validates items online, click the On-Line BOM Validation option under the BOM/Routing Options heading. If you do not click the On-Line BOM Validation option, the system does not validate items online. |
|
Log Bill of Material |
Specify whether changes to the bill of material are recorded in the Bill of Material Change File table (F3011). When you log bill of material changes, the system saves the old bill of material and the new, changed bill of material. To record changes to the bill of material, click the Log Bill of Material option under the BOM/Routing Options heading. |
|
Master Routings |
Specify whether the system uses the master routing for an item or a routing defined for the parent item. Both routings are retrieved from the Routing Master table (F3003). If you select to check for master routings, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system checks the Item Cross Reference table (F4104), cross-reference type MR, for the parent item. If it finds a cross-reference, the program uses the master routing from table F3003. If it does not find a cross-reference, the system uses the routing defined for the parent item. If you do not select to check for master routings, the program uses the parent item's routing from table F3003. To specify that the system checks for cross-references and uses a master routing for the item, click the Master Routings option under the BOM/Routing Options heading. |
Shifts
|
Work Hours |
Enter the number of work hours that the manufacturing plant operates per day. You can enter hours for up to six different shifts. However, the Work Hours Per Day field displays the total of only the first three shift hours. |
|
Shift |
Enter a value from UDC 00/SH (Shift Codes) that identifies daily work shifts. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll systems, you can use a shift code to add a percentage or amount to the hourly rate on a timecard. For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Payroll and Time Entry: If an employee always works a shift for which a shift rate differential is applicable, enter that shift code on the employee's master record. When you enter the shift on the employee's master record, you do not need to enter the code on the timecard when you enter time. If an employee occasionally works a different shift, you enter the shift code on each applicable timecard to override the default value. |
Commitment Control
Select the Commitment Control tab to select an option from the Commitment Control group box and an option from the Hard/Soft Commit group box.
|
Commitment Control |
Select an option under the Commitment Control heading to specify the inventory location to which commitments are made. Note. The system activates this field only when you create hard commitments. Further clarification of the three available options are:
|
|
Hard/Soft Commit |
Select an option under the Hard/Soft Commit heading to specify how JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management commits inventory. The options are:
When you set the Commitment Method field in the Branch/Plant Constants form to 2 or 3, you must use either Hard commitment at creation of parts list or Soft commitment, then hard commitment when printing because a hard commitment must be performed. If you want to identify substitute items when a shortage occurs, you must select the hard commitment at creation of parts list option. When you select either soft, hard when printing, or soft at creation of parts list, any line item in the parts list may be hard-committed before inventory is printed or relieved. |
Setting Up Employee Labor Rates
This section provides an overview of employee labor rate setup and discusses how to set up employee labor rates.
Understanding Employee Labor Rate Setup
You can set up codes that represent the hourly labor rates for employees. The Generic Message/Rate table (F00191) contains employee labor rates that the system uses to calculate actual labor costs. For each code, you can define the name or type of employee that the code represents and the hourly labor rate for the employee or job category.
When you use actual costing, the rate that you define for each employee appears in the Employee Rate field on the Time Entry Revisions form (W311221C) when the employee enters time transactions.

Setting Up Item-to-Line Relationships
This section provides an overview of item-to-line relationship setup and discusses how to set up item-to-line relationships.
Understanding Item-to-Line Relationship Setup
For repetitive manufacturing, the item-to-line relationships define the lines on which an item is produced and the amount of resources consumed by an item on each line. The Line/Item Relationships program (P31093) enables you to add, change, and delete data that is stored in the Line/Item Relationship Master table (F3109). You can define work center operations within a production line.
Note. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning system uses the record that you identify as the default line when the system creates rates. The specifications for shift and period are valid only for the default line.
