Net Change

You can set a processing option for the Project Workbench program to determine whether the system performs a net change. Net change updates the parts list and routing of a manufacturing work order when the order quantity, unit of measure, or dates of the work order have changed. The system calls the Net Change Processing program (R31430) to process the net change. If you set this processing option, the system processes the net change when you click Save and Close on the Project Workbench form.

Note: The system does not process net change for service orders, equipment orders, and configured work orders. If any of the component parts for a manufacturing work order have a material status of In Warehouse, the system cannot perform the net change.

When you change a manufacturing work order's quantity, unit of measure, or dates on the Project Workbench form, the changed work order record is stored in the Net Change Transaction table (F3115). If a parts list and routing is attached to the manufacturing work order, the system calls the Net Change Processing program to update the parts list and routing.

Net change processing:

• Recalculates the component quantities on the parts list using a quantity per value.

• Processes inventory commitments.

• Recalculates the labor and machine hours for each routing operation using an hours per value.

• Recalculates the standard and current production cost using a net change factor.

• Retrieves, classifies, and rolls up cost estimates.

• Adjusts financial commitments for work orders on projects that are integrated with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost system.

• Issues a warning if activities, such as issues and time entry transactions, have been recorded for the work order.
