Configured Item Work Order Modification in ETO

You can add configured work orders as tasks on a project in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO system. After the orders are added, you can modify or delete the entire configuration from which the orders were originated.

Configured work orders in an ETO project are modified in the Project Workbench program (P31P001). Work orders can be changed for configured items that are created in an ETO project both before and after the work order records are committed.

Note: You cannot make any changes to an ETO project configured work order directly through the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013).

Before allowing any modifications, the Project Workbench program verifies that none of the configured work orders has any activity reported against it. In addition, if you want to delete an entire configuration, the program must verify that the configured tasks do not have any existing dependencies.

When you access the Configured Item Revisions program from the Project Workbench program to make any changes, you are issued a warning if task dependencies exist for either the root configured work order or any of its child work orders.

Note: If you override the warning and make changes to the configuration resulting in the removal of an existing configured work order from the structure, you are responsible to manually remove any task dependencies to avoid any problems with scheduling.

Any changes to dates, such as planned start and planned end dates, and to the unit of measure launch the Configured Item Revisions program. For the root configured work order, the Project Workbench program launches the Configured Item Revisions program in change mode, enabling you to modify the configuration.

Before the work order records are committed from the Project Workbench program or the Configured Item Revisions program, you have the ability to re-enter only the root configured work order in Project Workbench to access and revise configured items.

After the work order records are committed from the Project Workbench program or the Configured Item Revisions program, you can re-enter only the root configured work order in the Project Workbench program to access and revise item specifications. This action is only allowed if no shop floor activity has been reported against the root configured work order or any of its child orders. Thus, no material should have been issued to the configured work order's parts list; and no activity should have been reported against the configured work order.

When you change the configuration of an existing ETO configured work order, then the resulting changes to other items and work orders in the configuration are the same as when a configuration of a non-ETO configured work order is changed in a similar manner. Statuses that are used to change the statuses of work orders in the configuration are read from the processing options of Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013).

When the entire ETO project is back-scheduled, then the dates on all ETO configured work orders, if any, also change. The work orders are not moved to the Changed status as the work order project is not called to update the work orders with new dates. The Project Workbench program calls another process to update the project work order records with new dates.

If the status of a lower level non-ETO configured work order is greater than the cutoff status, then it is not canceled when it is removed from the configuration. However, its parent work order could have been moved to a Canceled status. If Work Order Completions (P31114) is run against the lower level work order, then the corresponding parts list line in its parent work order's parts list is split and updated with completions quantity, lot, and location. The parts list quantity in the updated line is hard-committed to the completions lot and location. You are responsible to relieve these commitments.
