5 Working with Work Orders and Rate Schedules

This chapter contains the following topics:

5.1 Understanding Work Orders and Rate Schedules

Work orders and rate schedules are requests to complete a given quantity of a specific item. A rate schedule is a request to complete a given quantity of an item over a period of time on a specific production line. Rate schedules are used in repetitive manufacturing, in which you produce items in a continuous process on a dedicated production line. Work orders and rate schedules consist of a header, parts list, and routing instructions.

The work order header specifies the quantity of the item requested and the date on which the quantity is required. The parts list and routing instructions specify the components, operations, and resources that are required to complete the work order. However, the rate schedule header specifies not only the quantity of the item requested and the required date, but also the production line. For process manufacturing, the work order also includes a co-products and by-products list. This list identifies the products produced during the manufacturing process.

The Work Order Completions (P31114), Super Backflush (P31123), Work Order Entry (P48013), Inventory Completion Inbound Processor (R31114Z1I), and Process Work Order Super Backflush Inbound Transactions (R31123Z1I) programs support record reservation for sales order related work orders. (Release 9.1 Update)

When modifying a sales order using the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 or P42101), the system reserves the sales order. The system issues a record reservation error message if another user attempts to modify the related work orders using the Work Order Completions, Super Backflush, Work Order Entry, Inventory Completion Inbound Processor, and Process Work Order Super Backflush Inbound Transactions programs at the same time that the sales order is being modified. (Release 9.1 Update)

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Sales Order Entry programs. Record reservation helps to ensure the integrity of the data and prevent data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other program. Thus, the system does not allow you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application. (Release 9.1 Update)

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 Sales Order Entry programs before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed. (Release 9.1 Update)

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). (Release 9.1 Update)

5.2 Understanding Work Order or Rate Schedule Creation

You can create work orders or rate schedules in several different ways. You can enter a work order header manually. You can also create a work order as a result of master production scheduling or material requirements planning. Finally, when you create a sales order line with line type W, the system automatically creates a work order.

After creating a work order header, you attach the parts list and routing instructions, as well as the co-products and by-products list, if applicable. You can perform these steps manually, interactively, or by using the Order Processing program (R31410). This batch program enables you to process multiple work orders or rate schedules. It performs these actions:

  • Updates the status of each work order or rate schedule.

  • Supplies the date to use for effectivity checking.

  • Issues inventory.

  • Prints shop paperwork.

  • Calculates standard costs for configured items.

  • enables substitute items to be used.

  • Generates a purchase order for an outside operation.

Usually, you enter all of the work order or rate schedule headers and then attach the parts lists, routing instructions, and list of co-products and by-products to create the work order or rate schedule, using the Order Processing program. However, you can either attach this information to the work order or rate schedule interactively or revise it manually after you run the batch program. For example, to change a part on the parts list or specify substitutes, you can do so manually after you run the batch program. When you attach routing instructions to the work order or rate schedule interactively or revise them manually, you can identify the percent of run time that a sequence can overlap the previous operation.

Regardless of the method that you use to attach the parts list, routing instructions, and list of co-products and by-products, you use the processing options for the Work Order Entry (P48013) and Order Processing programs to define information, such as the unit of measure to use for backscheduling the work order or rate schedule.

After you determine the resources that are required to produce the items requested, you can schedule the work order or rate schedule and begin the work. As you complete items on the work order or rate schedule, you report:

  • Items completed.

  • Materials used.

  • Quantities scrapped.

  • Hours of machine and personnel time expended.

You can report completions by operation to track work order or rate schedule activity as it is in process. Using the feature cost percent for configured items and the resource percent for process items, you can also calculate costs by operation and track inventory throughout the production process.


Note:

If you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Quality Management system, you can test and record test results for manufactured items in these ways: use the Quality Preference Revisions program (P40318) to maintain tests for the parent item; maintain generic text to indicate when to test materials and which test to use; enter test results for the tests that you defined for the parent item.

5.3 Understanding Attachment of Supplementary Information

Instead of using the Order Processing program (R31410) to attach parts lists and routing instructions to work orders and rate schedules, you can also accomplish this task interactively. You can also attach co-products and by-products, as well as intermediate items, to process work orders.


Note:

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Data Management provides information to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management about bills of material, work centers, and routings.

5.4 Understanding Start Date Calculation

After you enter all required work order information on the Work Order Details form (W48013A), the system calculates the start date for the work order. To calculate the start date of a work order based on the order's due date, the system uses level lead time or lead time per unit for an item that is defined on the Plant Manufacturing tab on the Additional System Info form (W41026D). The system calculates the start date using either the item's fixed lead time or its variable lead time. For process work orders, you use the effective dates to schedule the rate.

See "Calculating Lead Times" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Product Data Management Implementation Guide.

5.4.1 Fixed Lead Time

When an item on a work order has a fixed lead time, the system determines the start date by using the level lead time to backschedule.

For example, assume:

  • Work order due date = October 15.

  • Level lead time = 3 days.


    Note:

    The shop floor calendar determines which days are considered work days.

The system has a start date of October 12. The system then calculates the start date for the work order by subtracting the level lead time or lead time per unit, depending on the fixed or variable lead time option, from the required date. The system displays an error message if either of these conditions occurs:

  • The start date differs from the date of the first operation sequence on the routing instructions for the item.

  • The operation sequence dates could not be calculated using backscheduling.


    Note:

    The system schedules work orders to be completed by the end of the day on the day before the work order is due.

5.4.2 Variable Lead Time

If an item on the work order has a variable lead time, the system determines the start date by using the lead time per unit to backschedule. The system uses this calculation:

[((Leadtime per unit × order quantity) / Time basis code unit value) + Setup + Total queue] / Work hours per day

For example, assume:

  • Work order due date = October 15.

  • Lead time per unit = 32 hours.

  • Work order quantity = 1000.

  • Setup = 1 hour.

  • Queue (including move time) = 9 hours.

  • Time basis code = 10,000 (code 4, which indicates 10,000 units).

    This information is from the Item Branch File table (F4102).

  • Work hours per day = 8.

[((32 hours × 1000) / 10000) +1 hour + 9 hours] / 8 hours = 1.65 days

The system calculates the start date by counting back two working days on the shop floor calendar from the due date. The work order start date is October 13.

5.5 Understanding Work Order Backscheduling

To meet the Material Requirements Plan (MRP) required date for an order, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management assigns a completion date for the routing instructions that is one day before the Master Production Schedule (MPS) or MRP required date. Then, the system assigns the start and requested dates to each operation in the routing instructions for the work order or rate schedule. Assigning the start and requested dates for each operation is called backscheduling.

Backscheduling ensures that the material is out of production and available on the required date. For example, a work order completion date of February 15 for routing instructions ensures that the items produced will be out of production and available for shipping or sale on the MRP required date of February 16.

After you have defined the work order routing instructions, the system performs these actions:

  • Retrieves the resource units for the work center of each operation.

  • Consumes the hours (queue, run, and then move hours) using the calculations for either fixed or variable lead time.

  • Scales the work center's remaining units proportionate to the previous operation's remaining units.

    For example, if 25 percent of the previous work center's units remain available, the current work center's units available to schedule for the same day will equal 25 percent of its daily total. This calculation assumes that all work centers have consumed 50 percent of available units by the middle of the calendar workday.

5.6 Understanding Shop Paperwork Generation

Shop paperwork consists of these printouts:

  • Work orders or rate schedules with or without the parts list or routing instruction information.

  • Shop packet summary.

  • Parts list shortages.

To generate shop paperwork, you must run the Order Processing program (R31410) with the Shop Packet Summary processing option activated.

5.7 Entering Work Order Headers

This section provides an overview of work order header entry and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Enter/Change Order program (P48013).

  • Enter work order headers.

5.7.1 Understanding Work Order Header Entry

To enter a work order header, you identify the item, its branch/plant and quantity, and the requested date for the work order. You can also enter other optional information, such as the revision level for the bill of material, or associated sales information. If you have set up the order item with a secondary unit of measure in the Item Master (P4101) and Item Branch/Plant (P41026) programs, you can enter the order information in both the primary and the secondary unit of measure, but this entry is not required.

The system calculates the start date based on the requested date that you enter. If the requested date is before the current date or is not defined as a work day, an error message appears. The system cannot calculate the start date for the work order when the requested date is in error.

If the order is created for a lot-controlled item, you can define a planned effective date, on which the item will be available for sales or commitments. You can enter this date manually or you can let the system calculate the date based on the Manufacturing Effective Days field in the F4102 table. If the Manufacturing Effective Days field is blank, the work order's requested date provides the default value for the Planned Effective Date field.

If a scheduling problem exists for the work order, the system displays an error message. This message indicates that a difference exists between the work order start date and one or both of these dates:

  • The start date of the first routing operation.

  • The calculated start date for the work order, which indicates difficulty in backscheduling.

You need to differentiate each type of work order, such as manufacturing work orders, rework orders, repair orders, engineering change orders, orders for prototypes, and so on, by assigning each of them a unique document type and work order type. You use the Document Type Maintenance program (P40040) to set up these document constants.

You might want to determine the availability of the parts that are needed to complete a work order before you create the work order.

While entering a work order header, you can access these additional forms:

Form Description
Order Address Information (W4006B) Use this form to locate the address of the customer on the sales order related to the work order. Blank fields appear when no sales order is associated with the work order.
Work Order Details (W48013A) Use this form to add detailed information to the work order description.
Media Objects Use this form to create a separate generic text entry for each work order. Notes provide more information and specific instructions for an order. Any modifications that you make to the text do not affect the text that was originally attached to the bill of material.

You can also review update dates and information about the user by choosing Properties from the File menu on the Media Objects form. By choosing Templates from the File menu, you can access the Work with Media Object Templates form to retrieve templates that you can use to create notes.


If you use other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, these integration features apply:

System Feature
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning integration JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Distribution Requirements Planning, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Master Production Schedule, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Material Requirements Planning suggest purchase and manufacturing orders that are required to maintain a valid production schedule.

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, you can manually enter this number to:

  • Identify multi-level configured items.

  • Provide the default value for work orders for the lower configured item (if you enter it for the top-level configured item).

  • Group work orders for project setup and reporting.

Lot/Serial

Enter a number that identifies a lot or a serial number. A lot is a group of items with similar characteristics.

5.8 Entering Rate Schedules

This section provides an overview of rate schedule entry and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Enter/Change Rate Schedule program (P3109).

  • Enter rate schedules.

5.8.1 Understanding Rate Schedule Entry

Repetitive manufacturing is designed for items that you produce in a continuous process on a dedicated production line. A rate schedule is a request to complete a given quantity of an item over a period of time on a specific production line.

Rate schedules consist of a header, a parts list, and routing instructions. The rate schedule header specifies the quantity of the item requested, the required date, and the production line. The parts list and routing instructions specify the parts, operations, and resources required to complete the rate.

Use the Enter/Change Rate Schedule program (P3109) to add a rate schedule. When you add a rate, the system verifies that:

  • The line exists in the Line/Item Relationship Master table (F3109).

  • The dates appear in the appropriate shop floor calendar.

  • The effective date ranges are within the defined period.

To increase plant capacity, manufacturers run production lines for more than one shift and they run different lines or production on different days of the week. You specify these shifts and lines on the shop floor calendar.

You can identify up to six shifts for the production line using the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009). You can then identify all shifts for the production line by work center, if necessary. After you set up the shifts, use the Line Scheduling Workbench program (P3153) and the Line Sequencing Workbench program (P3156) to schedule production.

5.8.2 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

  • Use the Line/Item Relationships program (P31093) to create a relationship between a line and an item.

  • Set the processing options to automatically attach the parts list and routing instructions when you enter a rate schedule.

5.9 Processing Work Orders and Rate Schedules

This section provides an overview of work order and rate schedule processing, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Run the Order Processing program.

  • Set processing options for the Order Processing program (R31410).

5.9.1 Understanding Work Order and Rate Schedule Processing

After you enter a work order header, you can use the Order Processing batch program (R31410) to attach the parts list and routing instructions for each work order or rate schedule header. If you attach the parts list and routing instructions interactively, you can use the Order Processing batch program to generate and print the shop paperwork.

The processing options for the Order Processing program enable you to perform a wide range of functions, such as:

  • Generate a parts list and routing instructions.

  • Indicate the date to use for effectivity verification.

  • Change the status code of the work orders or rate schedules that are being processed.

  • Print information about the work order or rate schedule, such as the routing, parts list, sales order text, and so on.

  • Print a shop packet summary that lists processed work orders and rate schedules.

  • Enter the unit of measure for backscheduling.

  • Issue inventory automatically.

  • Generate a shortage report for the work orders and rate schedules.

  • Indicate the versions of the associated programs that you want to access.

  • Create parts lists based on previous revision levels.

You can organize and separate these functions to accomplish different tasks by setting up several reporting versions, each with different data selections and processing option values. For example, you can set up one version to generate the parts lists and routings for work orders, another version to print shop paperwork, and another version to perform batch inventory issues.

If you use other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, these integration features apply:

System Features
Configured items integration You use the Order Processing program to retrieve the parts lists from the Configurator Component table (F3215) and the routings from the Configurator Routings table (F3212) in order to generate the work order parts list and routing instructions. When an item is configured at order entry, the assembly inclusion rules run and the resulting parts list and routing information is stored in the tables.

The assembly inclusion rules are defined in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system. The P assembly inclusion rule is used to put component parts on the sales order and work order, while the Q assembly inclusion rule is used to put component parts on the work order only. The R assembly inclusion rule is used to create the routing instructions for the work order.

When a sales order is entered for a configured item, the P assembly inclusion rules may print components as separate line items on the sales order based on the setup of the assembly inclusion rules.

Running the Order Processing program generates a parts list for a configured item by using data from the Configurator Component table (F3215) to create records in the Work Order Parts List table (F3111). The F3215 records are generated when processing P and Q assembly inclusion rules in the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210) during order entry.

The system also generates a routing by using data from the Configurator Routings table (F3212) that is generated from the R assembly inclusion rules run at order entry.

The system uses the Issue Type (issue type code) and Operation Seq No. (operation sequence number) fields from the Assembly Inclusions Rules table (F3293).

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Quality Management integration When you process work orders, you can use processing options to set values for the status of the work order and operation lot if the components fail tests.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order integration Transactions processing is affected by the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order (ETO) system. Work orders may be locked by a project that is being processed.

When you select the Edit Tasks mode in the Project Workbench, the system places record reservation only on records that you have modified.

When you select the Edit And Lock All Tasks mode, all orders in the project are reserved by the project. All records are locked and other applications or programs will not be able to access them until you exit this mode.

When working on a project in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO, the system does not let you edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application.

See "Understanding Projects" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Engineer to Order Implementation Guide.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management integration When you create a work order for a kit during sales order entry, the system can build the parent item and stock it in inventory after you process and complete the work order. When you create the work order, the system subtracts the components from the on-hand quantity in inventory. After you complete the work order, the system adds the parent item to the on-hand quantity in inventory.

You must specify line type T (Text) for sales orders in the Order Processing program to avoid writing journal entries for cost of goods sold and inventory for the components when you update the sales order. This line type also ensures that the system does not again subtract components from on-hand quantity in inventory during shipment confirmation or sales update.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management integration If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management, when you process a work order, the system does not search for inventory. Instead, the system generates a pick request. The pick request notifies you of the need for materials from the warehouse.

After the system creates the pick request, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management processes instructions and creates suggestions for you to confirm. Then, the system updates the parts list and increases the on-hand quantity for the To location and decreases the quantity on-hand for the From location.

You can specify in the processing options whether you want to print a consolidated pick list for multiple work orders, or individual pick lists for each work order.


5.9.1.1 Order Processing

When you run the Order Processing program (R31410), the system creates the planned variance in the Work Order Variance Tag - Needed for upgrade table (F3102T). The variance determines the difference in costs from when the standards were set at the beginning of the accounting period.

When you run the Order Processing program, the system deletes any previously generated or manually entered parts list that is attached to the work order or rate schedule. You can manually revise the system-generated parts list. If you add parts to the list, the system commits them from the primary location that is defined in the Item Branch program (P41026).

You should not regenerate the parts list if any part on the list has been issued to the work order or rate schedule. If you regenerate the parts list after parts have been issued, you must manually adjust the list to prevent duplication of component quantities.

When you generate a parts list that includes lot-controlled components, the system hard-commits the components from the work center location where lots with quantities exist. If the lot quantity is not sufficient, the parts list line is split.

When you run the Order Processing program, the system deletes any previously generated or manually entered routing instructions. You should not regenerate the routing instructions for the work order or rate schedule if hours and quantities are recorded for any of its operations.

Use a processing option to update the routing instructions if you change the work order or rate schedule. The system recalculates the run labor and run machine hours based on the quantity ordered on the work order or rate schedule.

If the system finds an error in calculating the date for an operation sequence, it enters the work order or rate schedule start and requested dates for that operation.

To automatically issue material to a work order when you run the Order Processing program, you set the Preflush Items processing option to issue only items identified as preflushed items or to preflush all items.

Use a processing option to print a consolidated parts list that provides you with a means to pick inventory needed for a number of work orders or rate schedules. The items are consolidated based on item name, location, lot, unit of measure, and branch/plant. The system prints information for each branch/plant on a separate page and prints on a separate line each occurrence of an item that is in a different location, lot, or unit of measure.

When you run the Order Processing program, the system creates outside operation purchase orders. The Order Processing program enables consolidation of outside operation purchase orders across single or multiple work orders based on supplier and branch/plant. (Release 9.1 Update)

You set the Purchase Order Consolidation processing option on the Order Processing program to consolidate outside operation purchase orders by supplier and branch/plant across single or multiple work orders. (Release 9.1 Update)

When batch processing with the Purchase Order Consolidation processing option set to consolidate, a single multi-line purchase order for each common branch/plant and supplier combination is generated for all work orders in the data selection. Each purchase order line item is tied to the related work order by the Related Order and corresponding Document Type fields. (Release 9.1 Update)

If a purchase order already exists for the supplier and branch/plant combination, then the system uses the existing outside operation purchase order. If no purchase order exists, then the system creates a new outside operation purchase order. (Release 9.1 Update)

When you run the Order Processing program, the system generates an exception report for these conditions:

  • The system previously created pick requests but did not regenerate a parts list.

  • The system did not create a pick request because the Warehouse Control option for the branch/plant was not set to Y.

5.9.2 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

5.9.4 Setting Processing Options for the Order Processing Program (R31410)

Use these processing options to edit lot status groups, set default values, define how the system processes data, and specify versions.

5.9.4.1 Edits

This processing option controls whether the system edits the allowed lot status group.

1. Enter Allowed Lot Status Group to validate

Specify the allowed lot status group to validate. During order processing, the system validates the non-blank lot status codes against the user-defined status code values. If the non-blank lot status codes exist in the Allowed Lot Status table (F41081), then the system treats the user-defined lot status codes as blank and the on-hold item shall continue through the order process.

5.9.4.2 Process

These processing options specify whether the system:

1. Generate Parts List and Routing Instructions

Specify whether the system generates a parts list, routing instructions, or both when you process a work order. Values are:

1: Generates a parts list only.

2: Generates routing instructions only.

3: Generates both a parts list and routing instructions.

Blank: Does not generate a parts list or routing instructions.

This processing option is used in combination with the Update Parts List and Routing Instructions processing option. The system processes the parts list and routing information based on the value of this processing option and the Update Parts List and Routing Instructions processing option:

  • If this processing option is set to 1, 2, or 3, and the Update Parts List and Routing Instructions processing option is set to 1, the system deletes any existing parts list or routing that is attached to the work order and reattaches the parts list or routing to the work order. If there is no parts list or routing attached to the work order, the system attaches the parts list or routing to the work order and performs the commitments based on the settings in the Manufacturing Constants table (F3009).

  • If this processing option is set to 1, 2, or 3, and the value of the Update Parts List and Routing Instructions processing option is blank, the system does not take any action if a parts list or routing instructions is already attached to the work order. If there is no parts list or routing attached to the work order, the system attaches the parts list or routing and performs the commitments based on the settings in the Manufacturing Constants table (F3009).

  • If the value of this processing option is blank and the Update Parts List and Routing Instructions processing option is set to 1, the system does not take any action.

Refer to the Parts List and Routing tabs for detailed information about the parts list and routing instructions generation.

5.10 Attaching Parts Lists

This section provides overviews of parts lists attachment, phantom items, parts list requirements, and how to attach parts lists interactively and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Work Order Parts List program (P3111).

  • Enter custom parts lists.

  • Copy parts lists from bills of material.

  • Copy parts lists from existing work orders.

  • Select substitute items.

  • Enter multiple locations.

5.10.1 Understanding Attachment of Part Lists

You attach the parts list after you enter a work order or rate schedule header. A parts list is a table of the components and their quantities required to complete the work order. You can attach the parts list using any of these methods:

  • Manually, by entering the required parts on the Work Order Parts List form (W3111A).

  • Interactively, by copying a bill of material or an existing parts list on a work order.

  • Batch, using the Order Processing program (R31410).

  • Automatically, by setting a processing option for the Work Order Routing Instructions program (P3112) after you attach routing instructions using the work order entry program.

For batch bills and batch routings, the system determines which parts list to use by matching the quantity for the bill type that is specified on the work order header. (Use a batch bill to accommodate physical constraints, such as ovens or vats, in industries in which products are produced in fixed quantities. Use batch routings in industries such as pharmaceuticals, foods, or petroleum, in which products are manufactured in fixed quantities or batches.) If the system does not find a batch size that matches the parts list, it uses this search sequence to locate a matching batch:

  • Searches for the specified bill type with a zero batch quantity.

  • Searches for a type M bill with the specified quantity.

  • Searches for a type M bill with a zero batch quantity.

If the system does not find a match, it does not attach a parts list, and you must attach the parts list manually.

Based on their effective dates, components are included in or excluded from the parts list for a work order. The system increases the quantity of each component by its scrap factor and operation scrap, if applicable.

These terms are used throughout the work order examples that follow:

Shrink

The planned loss of a parent item caused by factors such as breakage, theft, deterioration, and evaporation.

Scrap

Unusable material that results from the production process. Scrap is material outside of specifications and of such characteristics that rework is impractical.

Yield

The ratio of usable output from a process to its input.

These examples illustrate several scenarios pertaining to shrink, scrap, and operational yield for components of parent item A. Each example is based on a quantity of 10 for Parent Item A.

This example illustrates a work order with no shrink, scrap, or yield:

Component Quantity Per Operation
B 20 10
C 40 10
D 10 10
E 120 10
F 20 25
G 10 30

This example illustrates a work order with 10 percent shrink on parent item A:

Component Quantity Per Operation
B 22 10
C 44 10
D 11 10
E 132 10
F 22 25
G 11 30

This example illustrates a work order with 10 percent scrap on component G:

Component Quantity Per Operation
B 20 10
C 40 10
D 10 10
E 120 10
F 20 25
G 11 30

This example illustrates a work order with 95 percent yield at both operations 10 and 25:

Component Quantity Per Operation
B 22 10
C 44 10
D 11 10
E 133 10
F 21 25
G 10 30

This example illustrates a work order with 10 percent shrink on parent item A, 10 percent scrap on component G, and 95 percent yield on both operations 10 and 25:

Component Quantity Per Operation
B 24 10
C 49 10
D 12 10
E 146 10
F 23 25
G 12 30

5.10.2 Understanding Phantom Items

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management includes lower-level components of phantom items when you attach a parts list. Phantom items are characterized by:

  • They are not planned by material requirements planning (MRP).

  • They can be any lower-level component in the bill of material for a parent item.

  • They can be used to define a subassembly within a parent item when the subassembly is not stocked in inventory or planned by MRP but is consumed by the parent.

For process manufacturing, these items are intermediates, and can be any lower-level part or intermediate within the process for a co-product (parent item).

5.10.3 Understanding Parts List Requirements

This diagram illustrates a parts list that includes items B, E, F, and G:

Figure 5-3 Parts list requirements

Description of Figure 5-3 follows
Description of ''Figure 5-3 Parts list requirements''

For variable quantity items, the system calculates component quantities according to the order quantity on the work order.


Note:

When you activate the rounding feature in the Item Master table (F4101), the system rounds up the extended quantity value to a whole number if it has a decimal value greater than or equal to 0.01.

When the inventory available is insufficient to cover the parts list requirements for the work order, the system highlights the Order Quantity field on the parts list for the item that is in short supply. If you set the Substitutions processing option on the Parts List tab for R31410, the system will automatically include the substitute item if there is insufficient inventory for the original item.

The lead time offset indicates the number of days that a part is needed before or after the start date of a manufacturing work order. The system adds the lead time offset days for the part to the start date of the work order to determine the actual date on which the part is required. To indicate how many days after the work order start date that the part is required, enter a positive number on the Enter Bill of Material Information form (W3002A). To indicate that a part is needed prior to the work order start date, enter the days as a negative number. Examples of items that require negative lead time offset days are items that need processing or inspection before they can be used in an assembly. If the requested date for a component is later than the order completion date, the system enters the order completion date for the item.

When you define a shrink factor for the item on the Additional System Info form of the Item Branch program (P41026), the system compensates for the loss by increasing the component requirements for parent items by the percentage or quantity. The system displays the increased order quantity in the Order + Shrink field on the work order header. You use scrap or yield to inflate the component quantity. The system includes shrink adjustments, if applicable, when it calculates parts list quantities and routing instructions for the order.

5.10.4 Understanding How to Attach Parts Lists Interactively

After you enter a work order header, you attach a parts list to it. You can either manually enter a custom parts list or copy a parts list from a bill of material or existing work order. You use the manual method to create the parts list, components, and quantities. You use the copy method when existing information exists that you want to copy.

After you attach the parts list to a work order header, you can:

  • Specify or change a substitute item or quantities from different locations.

  • Add or delete components.

  • Change quantities or other information on the parts list or select substitute items and their quantities on-hand when a component shortage is encountered.

To use substitute items or integrate with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, you should be familiar with the information in this table:

Topic Description
Substitute items To use substitute items, you must use a processing option for the Work Order Parts List program (P3111) to specify the substitute processing that you want to use. You can select one of these commitments:
  • Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009).

  • Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program, but use substitutes for shortages.

  • Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program, but use substitutes when the quantity available can compensate for the shortage.

The Hard/Soft Commit option on the Manufacturing Constant Revisions form must indicate a Hard at Creation of Parts List setting for you to use substitutions.

When the system encounters a component shortage, you can select the available substitutes and quantity. After you enter the information, the system adds the selected items and quantities to the parts list and deducts the equivalent quantity from the component.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management integration If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management and generate a parts list, the system searches for inventory in the staging or work center location. If you did not define a staging or work center location, or if you did not locate inventory, the system generates a pick request. The pick request notifies you of the need for materials from the warehouse.

After the system creates the pick request, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system processes instructions and creates suggestions for you to confirm. Then the system updates the parts list and increases the on-hand quantity for the To location and decreases the quantity on-hand for the From location.

When you recreate the parts list, and the items are in the warehouse, these two actions can occur:

  • The Work Order Print program (R31415) prints In Warehouse for all items with the correct material status code.

  • The Order Processing program (R31410) prints a message indicating that a warehouse pick request already exists. The system does not generate a parts list.

Figure 5-4 Work Order Parts List form

Description of Figure 5-4 follows
Description of ''Figure 5-4 Work Order Parts List form''

Component Branch

Enter a secondary or lower-level business unit. The system uses the value that you enter to indicate that a branch or plant contains several subordinate departments or jobs. For example, assume that the component branch is named MMCU. The structure of MMCU might be:

Branch/Plant - (MMCU)

Dept A - (MCU)

Dept B - (MCU)

Job 123 - (MCU)

Lot Grd (lot grade)

Enter a code that indicates the grade of a lot. The grade is used to indicate the quality of the lot. Examples include:

A1: Premium grade

A2: Secondary grade

The grade for a lot is stored in the Lot Master table (F4108).

Lot Potency

Enter a code that indicates the potency of the lot expressed as a percentage of active or useful material (for example, the percentage of alcohol in a solution). The actual potency of a lot is defined in the F4108 table.

Oper Seq# (operation sequence number)

Enter a number used to indicate an order of succession.

In routing instructions, a number that sequences the fabrication or assembly steps in the manufacture of an item. You can track costs and charge time by operation.

In bills of material, a number that designates the routing step in the fabrication or assembly process that requires a specified component part. You define the operation sequence after you create the routing instructions for the item. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system uses this number in the backflush/preflush by operation process.

In engineering change orders, a number that sequences the assembly steps for the engineering change.

For repetitive manufacturing, a number that identifies the sequence in which an item is scheduled to be produced.

Skip To fields enable you to enter an operation sequence that you want to begin the display of information.

You can use decimals to add steps between existing steps. For example, use 12.5 to add a step between steps 12 and 13.

From Potency

Enter a number that indicates the minimum potency or percentage of active ingredients acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items that do not meet the minimum acceptable potency. The system does not allow you to sell items that do not meet the minimum acceptable potency.

Thru Potency

Enter a number that indicates the maximum potency or percentage of active ingredients that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items that have a potency that exceeds the maximum potency acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items that have a potency that exceeds the maximum potency acceptable.

Frm Grd (from grade)

Enter a value from UDC 40/LG (Lot Grade) that indicates the minimum grade that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items with grades that do not meet the minimum grade acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items with grades that do not meet the minimum acceptable level.

The From Grade and the Through Grade fields define the allowable grades for an item. The From Grade should be less than the Through Grade. These values are also used to determine the grade requirements of a component in a bill of material or an item in a purchase or sales order.

For example, the value of the From Grade equals A01, and the value of the Through Grade equals A05. In this case, inventory allocations for this item will be made for lots for which the grade is greater than or equal to A01 and less than or equal to A05.

Thr Grd (through grade)

Enter a value from UDC 40/LG (Lot Grade) that indicates the maximum grade that is acceptable for an item.

The system displays a warning message if you try to purchase or issue items with grades that exceed the maximum grade acceptable. The system does not allow you to sell items with grades that exceed the maximum grade acceptable.

The From Grade and the Through Grade define the allowable grades for an item.

The From Grade should be less than the Through Grade. These values are also used to determine the grade requirements of a component in a bill of material or an item in a purchase or sales order.

For example, the value of the From Grade equals A01, and the value of the Through Grade equals A05. In this case, inventory allocations for this item will be made for lots for which the grade is greater than or equal to A01 and less than or equal to A05.

Oper Scrap (operation scrap)

Enter a value that the system uses to increase or decrease the amount of materials to account for loss within the operation. The system updates this value on Enter/Change Bill of Material when you run the Planned Yield Update program.

The system calculates this value by compounding the yield percentages from the last operation to the first operation. Use a processing option in Enter/Change Routing to enable the system to calculate the component scrap percent.

Is Cd (issue code)

Enter a code that indicates how the system issues each component in the bill of material from stock. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management, it indicates how the system issues a part to a work order. Values are:

I: Manual issue.

F: Floor stock (there is no issue).

B: Backflush (when the part is reported as complete).

P: Preflush (when the parts list is generated).

U: Super backflush (at the pay-point operation).

S: Sub-contract item (send to supplier).

Blank: Shippable end item.

You can issue a component in more than one way within a specific branch/plant by using different codes on the bill of material and the work order parts list. The bill of material code overrides the branch/plant value.

Cmp Rev (component revision)

Enter a code that indicates the current revision level of a component on the bill of material. It is usually used with an engineering change notice (ECN) or engineering change order (ECO).

F V (fixed variable)

Enter a code that indicates if the quantity per assembly for an item on the bill of material varies according to the quantity of the parent item produced or is fixed regardless of the parent quantity. This value also determines if the component quantity is a percent of the parent quantity. Values are:

F: Fixed Quantity.

V: Variable Quantity (default).

%: Quantities are expressed as a percentage and must total 100 percent.

For fixed-quantity components, Work Order entry and MRP do not extend the component's quantity per assembly value by the order quantity.

5.11 Attaching Routing Instructions

This section provides overviews of attachment of routing instructions, outside operations, and attaching routing instructions interactively, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set processing options for the Work Order Routing program (P3112).

  • Enter custom routings.

  • Copy routing instructions from standard routings.

  • Copy routing instructions from existing work orders.

  • Add purchase orders for outside operations.

5.11.1 Understanding Attachment of Routing Instructions

You attach the routing instructions after you enter a work order header. Routing instructions provide details about the operations and resources that are required to complete the quantity of items requested from the shop floor. You can attach the routing instructions using any of these methods:

  • Manually, by entering each work center on the Work Order Routing form.

  • Interactively, by using the Work Order Entry program (P48013).

  • Automatically, by setting a processing option for the Work Order Parts List program (P3111) after you attach a parts list using the work order entry program.

  • Automatically, using the Order Processing program (R31410).

Regardless of the method that you use to attach routing instructions to work orders, you should attach the instructions at the same time that you attach the parts list. The system uses the routing instructions to verify information about each item on the parts list.

5.11.2 Understanding Outside Operations

You might have steps on the routing instructions that are completed by outside operations. In this case, you need to identify those steps and run order processing in batch mode to create purchase orders for the steps. You can also create purchase orders interactively as you add the routing step that includes the outside operation.

You use the Work Order Routing program (P3112) to interactively create outside operation purchase orders. The Work Order Routing program enables consolidation of outside operation purchase orders across a single work order based on supplier and branch/plant. (Release 9.1 Update)

You set the Purchase Order Consolidation processing option on the Work Order Routing program to consolidate outside operation purchase orders by supplier and branch/plant across the single work order being processed. (Release 9.1 Update)

You can override the processing option value at runtime by selecting the Purchase Order Consolidation checkbox on the Work Order Routing form. (Release 9.1 Update)

If a purchase order already exists for the supplier and branch/plant combination, then the system uses the existing outside operation purchase order. If no purchase order exists, then the system creates a new outside operation purchase order. (Release 9.1 Update)

When you record the receipt through the Purchase Order Receipts program (P4312), the Routing Quantities and Status form automatically appears and enables you to update the routing quantities and status as necessary.You can also track costs for the outside operations. To do so, set up the outside operation as an item in the F4101 table by using this item number structure as the item number before you process the order:

Figure 5-7 Item number structure

Description of Figure 5-7 follows
Description of ''Figure 5-7 Item number structure''

You can then assign a unit cost to the item on the Cost Revisions form (W4105A). The unit cost will be added to the item cost of the total parent when you run a cost rollup.

If you do not set up the outside operation as an item in the F4101 table, the system uses the structure mentioned previously to generate an item number for the operation, and enters the item number on the purchase order. System-generated item numbers for outside operations do not have unit costs defined. Therefore, if you do not define outside operations as items, they will carry a zero unit cost when you perform a cost rollup for the parent item and cause errors in the Purchase Order Receipts program.

The quantity of the new item on the purchase order and the supplier instructions are updated with the current information.

If the system cannot create a purchase order, it enters *NO PO in the Related Order field on the routing instructions. The system might be unable to create a purchase order for these reasons:

  • The routing instructions for the parent item do not include an item master or item branch record that has an outside operation.

  • The purchasing order activity rules were not set up for combination of line type, document type, and status.

  • The R31410 program could not create the outside operation, because the operation step was not set up properly in the Routing table (F3003).

5.11.3 Understanding How to Attach Routing Instructions Interactively

In addition to attaching routing instructions to work order headers in batch, you can also enter routing instructions interactively or manually. That is, you can create a custom set of routing instructions or revise them manually after they have already been attached to the work order header. For example, you might have a special routing for a certain engineering release phase in which you want to test a new process step. As with the parts list, you have the option of copying information from an existing routing for an item or from another work order.

When you locate the routing instructions, the system displays the operations that are effective at the start date of the work order and those that are standard instructions or text lines. When no routing instructions are attached to the work order, no values appear in the associated fields.

5.11.4 Understanding Electronic and Device Quality Records

Products such as pharmaceuticals, biotech, and medical devices require an audit trail for each batch, work order, or medical device manufactured.

An audit trail traces the manufacture of an item from design approval through manufacturing. The audit trail includes engineering changes introduced during the manufacture of the product. A quality assurance group must review the product prior to its release for sale or use.

You can review production records for a specific product and track defects. When you review records that are out of conformance, you can open a case for internal personnel to resolve the conformance issue.

On the Work Order Routing form, you select a routing operation and then select the Resource Competency option from the Row menu.

The system calls the version of the Resource Competency Information program (P05100) specified in the Resource Competency Information (P05100) processing option on the Versions tab of the Work Order Routing program.

The system populates the employee number in the Address Number field on the Work With Competencies form from the employee field on the Work Order Routing form. The value 01 in the Resource Type field is a fixed value and cannot be changed. You can review the competencies for the specified employee.

On the Routing Details form, you select the Equipment Search option on Form menu.

The system calls the version of the Work with Equipment Master program (P1701) specified in the Work With Equipment Master (P1701) processing option on the Versions tab of the Work Order Routing program.

The system displays the Work with Equipment Master form. The system populates the equipment number from the Routing Details form. You can also enter an equipment number to search for and review equipment related to a specific step in the manufacturing routing.

5.11.5 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:

  • Verify that a record for the parent item exists in the F4101 and Item Branch (F4102) tables.

  • Set the Purchase Order Consolidation processing option on the Work Order Routing program to consolidate outside operation purchase orders by supplier and branch/plant (Release 9.1 Update).

  • Enter the document type, line type, and status code for the purchase order in the processing options for the Order Processing program (R31410).

  • Set the Resource Competency Information (P05100) and Work With Equipment Master (P1701) processing options on the Versions tab to specify a specific version to use when selecting the Resource Competency option from the Row menu on the Work Order Routing form and the Equipment Search option from the Form menu on the Routing Details form.

Pay Point

Enter a code that indicates whether a work center has labor, material, or both, backflushed through it when quantities are reported against operations occurring in the work center. If you do not override the routing record, the system uses the work center value as the default. Codes are:

0: Not a backflush work center.

B: Backflush material and labor.

M: Backflush material only.

L: Backflush labor only.

P: Preflush material only.

If you leave this field blank, the system retrieves the value from the Work Order Routing table (F3112).

Crew Size

Enter the number of people who work in the specified work center or routing operation.

The system multiplies the Run Labor value in the F3003 table by crew size during costing to generate total labor amounts.

If the Prime Load Code is L or B, the system uses the total labor hours for backscheduling. If the Prime Load Code is C or M, the system uses the total machine hours for backscheduling without modification by crew size.

Setup Hours

Enter the standard setup hours that you expect to incur in the normal completion of this item. This value is not affected by crew size.

5.11.9 Copying Routing Instructions from Standard Routings

Enter the Work Order Number that has the routing instructions to copy and click OK

5.11.11 Adding Purchase Orders from Outside Operations

Access the Outside Operation Details form.

Create a purchase order for any step in the routing instructions that involves a subcontractor. You use the Enter/Change Routing program (P3003) to add an outside operations step. To define a routing step as an outside operation, you must enter a supplier and cost type and enter Y in the PO (Y/N) field. When you run the Order Processing batch program (R31410), the system generates a purchase order. You can also enter the purchase order interactively by calling the Outside Operation Revisions program (P3161) from the Work Order Routing form (W3112E).


Important:

When you create purchase orders for outside operations, consider these processes:

  • When you change the status of a routing instruction, the system can create duplicate purchase orders for that operation when you run the Order Processing program for that work order again.

  • When you enter a purchase order interactively and then run the Order Processing program, the system creates duplicate purchase orders as well.

  • When you delete an outside operation with an associated purchase order, the system deletes the purchase order when the original status of the operation remains unchanged. When the system deletes the purchase order, it updates the supplier instructions with the quantity of the value of the purchase order for the primary location and the open amount.

  • If you set up a work center as a valid location, the system verifies that the work center is available before you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management.

5.12 Attaching Co-Products and By-Products

This section provides an overview of the methods used to attach co-products and by-products and discusses how to attach co-products and by-products.

5.12.1 Understanding the Methods Used to Attach Co-Products and By-Products

For process manufacturing, you attach co-products and by-products after you enter a work order header. Co-products are usually manufactured together or sequentially because of product or process similarities. By-products are materials for which production is incidental to the process, but that may have value. Co-products and by-products identify the items that result from the process, whether they are planned or unplanned.

You can use these methods to attach co-products and by-products:

  • Manually, by making changes after running the Order Processing program (R31410).

  • Interactively, by using the Work Order Entry program (P48013).

  • Automatically, by attaching them after the header is entered by setting a processing option in the Work Order Entry program (P48013).

  • Automatically, by setting a processing option to attach them from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning system.

5.12.2 Form Used to Attach Co-Products and By-Products

Co By (co-products by-products)

Enter a code that identifies standard components or ingredients as co-products, by-products, and intermediates. Co-products are (concurrent) end items as the result of a process. By-products are items that can be produced at any step of a process, but were not planned. Intermediate products are items defined as a result of a step but are automatically consumed in this step.

Generally, intermediates are nonstock items and are only defined steps with a pay-point for reporting purposes. Standard components (Discrete Manufacturing) or ingredients (Process Manufacturing) are consumed during the production process. Values are:

C: Co-products.

B: By-products.

I: Intermediate products.

Blank: Standard components or ingredients.

Qty Ordered/Output Qty (quantity ordered/output quantity)

Enter the quantity of units affected by this transaction.

5.13 Attaching Intermediate Items

This section provides an overview of intermediate items and discusses how to attach intermediate items.

5.13.1 Understanding Intermediate Items

For process manufacturing, use intermediates to track the quantity of output of any operation in a work center at a specific time. You can define intermediates in different units of measure, by item, or by quantity. You set up one intermediate per operation. However, you cannot define an intermediate for the last operation. You can manually attach intermediates.

Fermented liquid is an example of an intermediate. The liquid ferments for an extended period of time before being distilled. The resulting liquid is not a finished product, but it proceeds to the next operation. You can use intermediates to verify quality as the process is running to ensure that the end product is produced according to specifications.

5.14 Assigning Serial Numbers

This section provides an overview of serial number assignment and discusses how to assign serial numbers.

5.14.1 Understanding Serial Number Assignment

You assign serial numbers to work orders to track serialized items within lots. You can assign serial numbers to work orders at any time. When you enter serial numbers, the system creates serial number master records, as well as work order lot or serial numbers. The system does not validate any serial number that you enter until you complete the work order. If you do not assign a serial number to a serialized assembly, the system requires a number before you can complete the work order. After you complete a work order, you cannot modify any serial numbers that are assigned to the assemblies.

You can assign serial numbers to specific assemblies at any time before the work order is completed. You can also assign serial numbers to specific assemblies at the time of work order completions by selecting Lot SN Generation from the Form menu on the Serial Number Revisions form (W3105B). You can associate serialized components to a specific assembly either at inventory issues or at work order completions. You must issue serialized components in their respective primary unit of measure to associate them to a specific assembly.

The Assign Serial Numbers program (P3105) assumes a quantity of one in the unit of measure on the work order. For serialized assemblies, this is the primary unit of measure. You cannot enter more serial numbers than the quantity on the work order.


Note:

You can delete a serial number only when the system detects no activity for the number.

5.14.2 Prerequisite

Set the Lot Process Type and Serial Number Required fields on the Item Master Information form for serial number processing.

See "Entering Item Master Information" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Inventory Management Implementation Guide.
