This chapter contains the topic:
You need to define certain user-defined codes for your manufacturing work orders.
Setting up work order codes includes the following steps:
To set up status codes
To set up phase codes
To set up category codes
From Shop Floor Management (G31), choose Shop Floor Control Setup
From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Type
Work order type codes (00/TY) indicate the type classification of a work order. For example, a rework order might be type R and a design order might be type D.

System Code | A user-defined code (98/SY) that identifies a JD Edwards World system. |
User-defined Codes | Identifies the table that contains user-defined codes. The table is also referred to as a code type. |
Code | This column contains a list of valid codes for a specific user-defined code list. The number of characters that a code can contain appears in the column title. |
Description | A user-defined name or remark. |
Description-2 | Additional text that further describes or clarifies a field in JD Edwards World systems. |

From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Priority
Work order priority codes (00/PR) 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. They should not be used as your formal work priority system.

From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Status
Work order status codes (00/SS) describe the status 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 whose status indicates they are pending approval or quality inspection, and release work orders that have a status code indicating they have been approved or passed quality inspection. In addition, you can set the system to automatically update the work order status code when you enter issue and completion transactions.

From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Phase
Work order phase codes (00/W1) indicate the implementation phase of the work order. You can use phase 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 availability of the product for the next level of inspection.

From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Category Code 02
Work order category codes 02 and 03 can represent any category or description by which you want to group work orders for project management, cost accounting, or inquiries. For example, you can set up one category code to represent types of problems encountered in the work order implementation, such as improper startup or inadequate maintenance, and another code to represent locations where the work is taking place.

To set up operation status codes
From Shop Floor Management (G31), choose Shop Floor Control Setup
From Shop Floor Control Setup (G3141), choose Operation Status
Work order operation status codes (31/OS) indicate the progress or status of an order during the steps followed in a particular operation. For example, you can set up codes to indicate if materials have been received or work begun at a particular operation. This allows 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.

You can categorize your work orders by document type using user-defined codes (00/DT). 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).
Document types are used to categorize information across your JD Edwards World systems. You can specify up to 12 document types to be used for work orders and rates in supply/demand calculations by entering them in the processing options for the Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules in the Manufacturing Planning system. The Manufacturing Accounting system uses the document type to match the document types defined in your automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) when you post journal entries to the general ledger.
