JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Orders and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Order Management system controls the processing of work orders. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system works with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Order Management system to adapt the way that you enter and process work orders for configured items.

Before you can enter work orders for configured items, you must enter business-specific information in the work order programs within the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing system.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Order Management system is specifically designed to handle small, short-term tasks that are part of a major project. It is also designed for quick setup, simple cost accounting, and basic scheduling for projects that can be completed quickly.

Generating a work order is the activity that starts the process of completing a task. The work order identifies the work that needs to be done, and the information that is collected captures the history of the work that is performed.

The system enables you to enter work orders for configured items directly through the work order entry process. This process enables you to generate work orders for configured items that you might want to prebuild or stock in inventory to better meet the demands of the business.

To enter work orders for configured items, the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) and processing options must be set up appropriately.

After the work orders are created, they move through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system by way of Order Processing (R31410) and other shop floor programs as dictated by the business processes. Thus, you must ensure that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system is set up.

The system also enables you to generate work order headers at the time of sales order entry. You must ensure that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system is set up so that the interface can support the order types in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work Order Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management systems.
