Understanding Work Order Header Entry for Production-Controlled Items
To enter a work order header, you identify an item, its branch/plant and quantity, and the requested date for the work order. You use the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) to create and manage work orders.
The Production Number field and Query by Example (QBE) line appear in the detail grid of the Work With Manufacturing Work Orders form. The Production Number field also appears on the Addl Details 1 tab of the Work Order Details form. You can modify the production number on a work order only from the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program.
The system does not support a negative order quantity on a work order for a production-controlled item.
The system enables changing the production number in a work order header. When revising a production number for a work order, the system checks for an attached parts list, attached routing, material issues, processed time entry records, and a partial or full completion. The system provides a warning message if any of these activities have occurred.
You can change the production number on a work order at any work order status, even a closed or completed work order.
When you copy a work order, the production number on the existing work order becomes the default production number on the new work order. When you copy a discrete work order, you can change both the item number and the production number on the new work order.
Work orders created from sales orders with a W line type contain the production number information from the sales order detail line. If you change the production number in the sales order detail line, the system does not update the production number on the related work order. Likewise, a change to the production number on a work order does not update the production number in the sales order detail line.
The system supports configured and kit items. The Production Number field is editable in the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program when you attempt to change the work order. For configured items, the system persists the production number to all related orders, both parent and child orders. You use the Production Number Workbench program (P34403) because the work order may be a child work order within a kit or configured item.
The production number is accessible to the Work Order Parts List (P3111), Work Order Routing (P3112), Work Order Completions (P31114), Work Order Print (R31415), and Super Backflush (P31123) programs. The system does not carry production number information forward to any other programs or functionality in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system.
Production number information from the work order header passes to inventory for maintaining the on-hand quantity in the Item Location Tag File table (F41021T).
You can use the Work Order Mass Update program (P48714) to change the status of discrete manufacturing work orders that contain production-controlled items. The Work Order Mass Update program does not include the Production Number field, so you cannot search by or update production numbers. You can use the Production Number Reassignment program (P34404) to update production numbers on work orders.
The system supports creating and updating work orders for production-controlled items through electronic data interchange (EDI). The system uses the Outbound Work Order Header table (F4801Z1).
