Work Order Creation

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Accounting system tracks costs that are associated with work orders and creates journal entries for all shop floor transactions. Each step in the work order process can affect manufacturing accounting. The principal effect is that, when you complete any step in the process, you create a transaction that can be the source of a variance. The system calculates the variances when you run the Variance Journal Entries program (R31804).

A work order is a request to produce a certain quantity of an item by a given date. A work order consists of:

• A header

• A parts list

• Routing instructions

To create a work order, you identify on the header the item, its branch/plant and quantity, and the requested date for the work order. After you determine what resources are required to produce the item, you can schedule the work order and begin the work.

As you complete the work order, you must track:

• Items completed.

• Materials used.

• Quantities scrapped.

• Hours of machine and personnel time used.
