Issues and Completions for Project Work Orders

When you issue project-specific components for a work order using the Inventory Issues program (P31113), the system reviews availability to verify that this component is not reserved for another project. If the inventory belongs to another project, you cannot issue the material, and you must specify another location with available inventory.

When you need more material for a project than you originally allocated, you can issue material from another location that has available quantity, provided that the material is not allocated to another project. When the total demand for a particular item is satisfied, the system removes the related record from the F410211.

Should you need to transfer project-specific inventory, the system calls the Project Commitment Detail Window program (P410211W), and you must select the project number and quantity for the transfer. You can transfer quantities that are hard-committed to projects only between locations in the same business unit, but not between business units.

When you complete a subassembly for a project work order, the system updates the parts list of the parent work order with the location and lot or serial number that you specified in the Work Order Completions program (P31114). This update associates the inventory directly with the parent work order and the project to which the work order belongs.

If the subassembly work order is only partially completed, the parts list line on the parent work order splits. The original component line contains the remaining quantity, and the system inserts a new line with the completion information.

In the event of an over completion, the system updates the related parts list line with the completion location and lot or serial number. The related project commitment record, however, represents only the original component quantity.

When you close a project work order without completing it, the project-specific component quantities remain committed. You can resolve this discrepancy by performing a repost. You can run the Repost Open Work Orders program (R3190) to synchronize the quantities on open manufacturing work orders with the project-specific commitment quantities in the F41021 table and the F410211 table.
