Entering Processes and Process Operations

Access the Enter Process Information form.

Work Center

Enter the alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.

This is the physical location of the shop floor where routing operations occur.

Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

For the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant & Equipment Management system from Oracle, this is the craft/resource responsible for completing the maintenance activity.

Run Labor

Enter the standard hours of labor that you expect to incur in the normal production of this item.

The run labor hours in the Routing Master table are the total hours that it takes the specified crew size to complete the operation. The hours are multiplied by the crew size during shop floor release and product costing.

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Plant & Equipment Management:

This is the estimated number of hours needed to complete a maintenance activity.

Run Machine

Enter the standard machine hours that you expect to incur in the normal production of this item.

Setup Labor

Enter the standard setup hours that you expect to incur in the normal completion of this item. This value is not affected by crew size.

Queue Hours

Enter the total hours that an order is expected to be in queue at work centers and moving between work centers.

The system stores this value in the Item Branch table. You can calculate this value using the Leadtime Rollup program or you can enter it manually. When you run the Leadtime Rollup program, the system overrides manual entries and populates the table with calculated values.

Line/Cell

Enter a number that defines a production line or cell. Detailed work center operations can be defined inside the line or cell.

Crew Size

Enter the number of people who work in the specified work center or routing operation.

The system multiplies the Run Labor value in the Routing Master table by crew size during costing to generate total labor amounts.

If the Prime Load Code is L or B, the system uses the total labor hours for backscheduling. If the Prime Load Code is C or M, the system uses the total machine hours for backscheduling without modification by crew size.

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management:

The Crew Size field on the Work Order Routing form contains the value entered on the Work Center Revision form (P3006). You can override the value by changing this field on the Work Order Routing form. However, the Work Center Revision form does not reflect this change.

Type Oper (type operation)

Enter a user-defined code (UDC) (30/OT) that indicates the type of operation. Values include:

A: Alternate routing

TT: Travel time

IT: Idle time

T: Text

For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Product Costing:

Only operations with a blank type operation code are costed.

P C (pay point code)

Enter a code that indicates whether a work center has labor, material, or both, backflushed through it when quantities are reported against operations occurring in the work center. If you do not override the routing record, the system uses the work center value as the default. Codes are:

0: Not a backflush work center.

B: Backflush material and labor.

M: Backflush material only.

L: Backflush labor only.

P: Preflush material only.

Job Type

Enter a UDC (07/G) that defines the jobs within the organization. You can associate pay and benefit information with a job type and apply that information to the employees who are linked to that job type.

Next Oper (next operation)

Enter the operation number with which the current operation can be simultaneously processed.

Yield % (yield percent)

Enter the planned output yield percent for a step. The Planned Yield Update program uses this value to update the cumulative percent in the routing and the operation scrap percent in the bill of material. MRP uses the scrap percent and the existing component scrap percent to plan component demand.

Time Basis

Enter a UDC (30/TB) that indicates how machine or labor hours are expressed for a product. Time basis codes identify the time basis or rate to be used for machine or labor hours entered for every routing step. For example, 25 hours per 1,000 pieces or 15 hours per 10,000 pieces. You can maintain the time basis codes in Time Basis Codes.

The system uses the values in the Description-2 field on the User Defined Codes form for costing and scheduling calculations. The description is what the code represents, but is not used in calculations.

(Release 9.2 Update) Time Basis Code 0 is hard-coded. Use this value to enter fixed machine run hours and labor run hours in a work order routing.
