Understanding Configured Item Orders in Engineer to Order

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order (ETO) supports the move from mass production to a product-of-one production methodology. In this engineer-to-order environment, project management becomes of prime importance, given the amount of unknown information involved. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO supports the full life cycle of typical project-oriented operations, which includes the Initiation, Planning, Execution and Control, and Close phases of a project.

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO, you can enter a work order or purchase order for a configured item. The Project Workbench (P31P001) provides access to Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013). You can also attach existing work orders for a configured item to a project.

The Purchase Orders program (P4310) is accessed from the Project Workbench. During the configuration of a purchase order in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO, P and X assembly inclusion rules are evaluated.

You can enter an order for the parent configured item, also called root or top-level configured item, or a configured subassembly of the parent.

Note: On the Configure Item form, the Configured Item Inventory option is disabled for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO. In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ETO, all inventory is project-specific, and must be manufactured or purchased specifically for the project.
