Finished Good Work Order Processing (WWOR)
Purpose: A finished good is an item, comprised of one or more component items, that requires assembly prior to picking and packing. Work order processing is the ability to reserve component items while you assemble a finished good. A work order builds a finished good item by increasing the inventory of the finished good and decreasing the inventory of its component items.
The work order process:
• identifies the finished good to create
• suggests where to pick the component items to make up the finished good
• prints a finished good work order ticket
• creates a make up finished good inventory transaction (transaction code = M)
• writes inventory transaction history for the finished good and its component items

Description |
Set this field to Y to use work order processing. The Protected qty (Protected quantity) field in the Item Warehouse file is used as a system-updated field for the component items of a finished good created through the work order process. The quantity in the Protected quantity field is increased for each component item when you create a work order and is decreased when you process the work order. The following message displays at the bottom of a menu screen if you try to enter the Work with Work Orders function and this system control value is set to N: SCV: E37 must be set to 'Y' to perform Work Order Processing. |
|
This field defines the location type the system searches first to fill the quantity of the component item needed to make up the finished good. Valid values are: *PRIMARY, *SECONDARY and *BULK. If the component quantity needed for this work order cannot be filled from the locations found in this location type, the system searches the location type defined in the Second Location Type (E43) field in the System Control file. |

Completing this screen: The message 'Suggesting locations, please wait' displays at the bottom of the screen. The system checks the available on-hand quantity of each component item in the warehouse and determines the locations from which each component item is picked to make up the finished good before advancing to the Create Work Order Details Screen. See Work Order Validations.
System updates: When a work order header is created:
• The Protected qty (Protected quantity)field in the Item Warehouse file for each component item is increased by the quantity needed to make up the finished good.
• The On order field in the Item Warehouse file for the finished good is increased by the amount being assembled for the work order.
• The Pending transfer quantity field in the Item Location file for each component item is increased by the quantity needed to make up the finished good. This quantity is a negative quantity since the component items will be transferred from their locations to the location defined for the finished good.
The system performs the following validations when a work order is created:
1. Determines the available on-hand quantity of the component items in the warehouse entered on the Create Work Orders Screen, using the following calculation:
Component quantity < on-hand - (reserved + protected) = available on-hand quantity
An error message similar to the following displays if the component quantity is greater than the available on-hand quantity:
Warehouse qty (9) less than the requested qty (12)
2. Determines the available on-hand quantity of the component items in the warehouse locations using the location type sequence defined in the Use Work Order Processing (E37) field in the System Control file. The system uses the following calculation:
On-hand - (printed - negative pending transfer quantity) = available on-hand location quantity
An error message similar to the following displays if the system cannot find one or more locations that can fulfill the entire quantity needed to make up the finished good:
Warehouse qty (9) less than requested qty (12)
3. Checks that the locations are not frozen.
4. Checks that the item locations are not frozen.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Complete the necessary fields.
2. Press F9.
3. You return to the Work with Work Orders Screen, where you can process another finished good work order.
System validations: When you press F9 to process a work order, the system checks that:
• The component items exist in the locations specified. A message similar to the following displays if a component item does not exist in the location specified:
The system could not reserve the entire Qty required. Qty available (0)
• There is enough available on-hand quantity in each location for each component item to make up the finished good. If the on-hand quantity is not enough, the system will not process the work order and displays the following message: Trans qty (-xx) will cause on hand quantity in item location to be negative. The system uses the following calculation to determine the amount available in each location:
On-hand - [printed - (pending quantity - pending work order quantity) = available on-hand
• The amount of component items taken from each location will not reduce the on-hand quantity below the reserved quantity.
• The locations are not frozen.
• The item locations are not frozen.
System updates: When you press F9 to process a work order:
• The make up finished good inventory transaction is processed (this increases the amount of finished goods and decreases the amount of each component item).

Description |
Actual quantity |
The quantity of the component item that is taken from a location. If you are taking a component item from more that one location, be sure the actual quantity matches the control quantity. Alphanumeric, 7 positions; required. |
Location |
The location from which the system suggests to pick the component items. If more than one location has been suggested, the Location field appears blank and a plus (+) sign displays. If you change the location for a component item, the system checks that: • the item exists in that location • the item/location freeze and physical freeze fields = N • the available quantity in the location is equal to or greater than the quantity needed to make up the finished good Alphanumeric, 7 positions; required. |
System validations: When you add a location to a component item, the system checks that:
• The item location exists. A message similar to the following displays if the item location you enter does not exist:
Location (K010105) does not exist.
• The item location Reservation freeze flag and Physical freeze flag are set to N. A message similar to the following displays if the Reservation freeze flag or Physical freeze flag in the item location file is set to Y:
The system could not reserve the entire Qty required. Qty available (0)
• the location Freeze field is set to N. The following message displays if the Freeze field in the location file is set to Y:
No available location found for component item
• the Loc Cls (Location class) defined for the location matches the Loc class (Location class) defined for the item if the Allow Location Class Edit in Inventory Transaction (F86) system control value is set to Y or blank. An error message similar to the following displays if the location's location class does not match the item's location class:
Item is not compatible with Location.
• There is enough available on-hand quantity in the location for each component item to make up the finished good. The system uses the following calculation to determine the amount available in a location:
On-hand - (printed - negative pending transfer quantity) = available on-hand
