Understanding Configured Item Work Orders

You enter a work order for a configured item when you want to build a configured item. The configured item could be intended to fill an order, or it can be put into inventory for future use.

During sales order entry, work order headers are created for associated configured items based on system setup and processing option settings. After they are created, the work order headers are used in the shop floor management process to manufacture the configured item. Work orders for configured items can also be created directly in Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013), which can be accessed from a menu or from the Project Workbench program in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Engineer to Order system.

The input of a work order for a configured item is similar to the input of a regular work order. Creation of a work order for a configured item is initiated from the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program. The parent configured item is entered on the work order, and the Configured Item Revisions program (P3210) is called to answer and validate the configured segments. After the configuration is accepted, the Work Order Entry form is returned. Work orders are created for child configured items, if necessary.

A media object is attached to the line of the work order. The media object contains the generic configured text as set up in Configured Item Segments (P3291).

The work order entry process for configured items rolls up cost but not price.
