Understanding Work Order Processing for Production-Controlled Items
After you enter a work order header, you can use the Order Processing batch program (R31410) to attach the parts list and routing instructions for each work order header. If you attach the parts list and routing instructions interactively, you can use the Order Processing batch program to generate and print the shop paperwork.
When you run the Order Processing program to attach a parts list and routing, the system may also create a purchase order for outsourcing. You can manually revise the system-generated parts list.
The system does not support the consolidation of work orders based on production numbers. You can consolidate work orders for general inventory with demand from other sales orders.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system does not support substitute items for production number control. A production number is associated with a specific end item. Consequently, selecting a substitute item requires that you associate a different production number with the substitute item number. Substitute items must have production numbers designated that differ from the production number of the original item.
When you copy a work order, the production number of the existing work order becomes the default production number of the new work order. When you copy a discrete work order, you can change both the item number and the production number of the new work order.
The system stores the production number in the Work Order Master Tag File table (F4801T). The Order Processing program contains the Production Number field in the data selection so that you can run order processing by production number.
The Work Order Print program (R31415) contains the production number from the work order header.
As you process work orders, the system does not change the production number associated with any previous activity. For example, you issue material for a work order with production number PMPN1. If you change the production number of the work order to PMPN2, the system does not change the production number of the material issue related to production number PMPN1. Any additional material issues related to the work order reduce the inventory associated with production number PMPN2.
