Create production options automatically by item ID or by production area. |
Use the Autocreate Production Options page (EN_PDO_AUTOCREATE) to create production options automatically by item ID or by production area.
Navigation:
This page is useful for users who are new to the production option functionality. You can use it to create production options quickly for all or a range of items or production areas. Begin by selecting either Item ID or Production Area. Then, depending on your choice, the Item ID or Prdn Area (production area) fields become available for selection.
When you click the Save button, the system converts all items that are currently not using production options to using production options. For all items converted to production options, the item's Production Option Control value on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing: General page is set to Use Prdn Option Maintenance. You can then access the item on the Production Option maintenance pages. This function automatically adds the BOM and routing combination defined in the production area as a production option.
Note: If an item is going to be produced based on lead times rather than routings, the item is not converted, because items set to Use Prdn Option Maintenance cannot use lead times.
Note: If you have already assigned an item to a production area in PeopleSoft Manufacturing, then you cannot select Use Production Option for that same item on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing: General page. You can, however, create production options by using the autocreate functionality.
