Understanding Work Order Backlogs

Use the Work Order Backlog Download program (R13460) to allow users to work with resource assignments outside of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. You download the work order backlog and assignments to a text file format (csv). You can then upload this information to a project management package for further processing.

This download process is configured in such a way that customers can use the process as a template for developing their own specific requirements, depending on their data setup and project management software.

By using the Work Order Backlog Download program, you can download work orders, work order instructions, and assignment details into these .csv text files:

  • JDEToMSProjTasks.csv

    This file contains task information.

  • JDEToMSProjAssign.csv

    This file contains resource assignment information.

You need to create an export folder in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software directory for the text files that are generated by the Work Order Backlog Download program. Create this folder before the report is run on the machine for the first time. If the job is run locally, label this folder as: C:\B7\Prod Env\Export.

You can use processing options to specify whether labor details or assignment details are included in the download.

You can also access this program from the Resource Assignment program.

Note: This option is not available in the web version of the Resource Assignment program. If you do access this program from the Resource Assignment program, the work order selections from the workbench are appended to any data selection that is defined for the version that you run.
