Configured Item Work Order Modification Without Excluding or Adding a Work Order

The two ways to change the configuration of an existing configured work order without excluding any work order or adding new work orders are:

  • Change the order quantity, dates, or unit of measure on any of the work orders in the configuration; and launch the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210).

    Validate the configuration without making any changes, and then click OK.

  • Set up the assembly inclusion rules for a configured item to change the order quantity and dates of lower-level work orders when a segment answer is changed.

    You can launch the Configured Item Revisions program for any existing work order in the configuration and change the segment answers to satisfy the assembly inclusion rule.

In both of these cases, order quantities and dates of all of the lower-level work orders should be recalculated correctly if the work orders are less than the cutoff status. All work orders that were less than the cutoff status are moved to the Changed status (before cutoff).

If the status of a work order being changed is greater than or equal to the cutoff status, the status is moved to the Changed status (after cutoff). Order quantity, dates, and unit of measure of such work orders should not be changed.

Parts list quantities and routing hours for items that do not have a work order must be recalculated when the Order Processing program (R31410) is run against all of the work orders in the configuration.
