Master Work Order Inventory Issues for Style Items

Inventory issues are made at the master work order level. You enter the total consumption of inventory for the master work order. The system splits the inventory issues of the master work order between the individual child work orders.

The system processes a batch inventory issue to record a total of what was used in the manufacturing process. The system does not process the issuing locations as determined based on availability.

The system uses elements of the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) to deduct the quantities that are issued to the shop floor through an issue transaction from inventory. This transaction reports the actual quantities and cost of materials that were used in the production process to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Accounting systems. You need to set up the Work Order Inventory Issues program to suggest issue quantities that are based upon the work order quantity.

When you initiate master work order inventory issues for style items from the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program (PCW49), the system limits the number of visible parts list attributes and input capable fields. The following fields are input capable on the Issues tab of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form (WCW50E):

  • Issues (TRQT)

  • Location (LOCN)

  • Lot/Serial Number (LOTN)

You can issue a quantity that is equal to, less than, or greater than the order quantity on the master work order. For a full inventory issue, the split of consumption by work order is based on the quantity on the child work order.

For a partial issue, the system spreads the issue of each component to the child work orders based on the percentage of the child work orders to the total issue. When issuing a partial quantity on the master work order, the system spreads the quantity to all the child work orders without rounding up the quantity. For example, if the order has an issue quantity of 100 buttons and you partial issue 26 buttons, then the master work order shows that 26 buttons have been issued. The system spreads the 26 buttons to the individual child work orders by the percentage that each work order represents. The system does not round up the issue quantity so that only whole numbers of buttons are issued to each child work order.

You can set the Issue Material for processing option on the Display Options tab of the Master Work Order Processing for Style Items program to a value of 1 to have the system automatically suggest issue quantities. If you set the Issue Material for processing option to blank, then you must manually enter a quantity on the Issues tab on the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form.

When issuing material to the master work order, the system supports splitting to multiple locations. You can perform multiple location issues to a master work order using the Multi Location option on the Row menu of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. When performing a multiple location issue, the system limits the issue to nine locations per component that can be returned to the Issues form.

After you enter quantity and location information on the Issues tab, you click OK on the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. The system runs the Work Order Issues for Style Items program (R41F050) to process the inventory issues for the child work orders.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program (PCW50) for the master work order and the Work Order Issues for Style Items program for child work orders. Record reservation helps ensure the integrity of the data and prevents data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other manufacturing program. Thus, the system does not enable you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application.

The Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items program locks the master work order. When the Work Order Issues for Style Items program runs to process inventory issues for child work orders, the system activates record reservation by work order number so that only the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs can access the records in the Work Order Header for Style Items (FCW65) and Work Order Master File (F4801) tables. If the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs encounter a work order that is already locked by another application within the manufacturing system, then the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs send a message to the Work Center and do not process the work order. You must re-submit the work order for processing.

The Work Order Issues for Style Items program issues inventory to the associated child work orders. After the inventory issues processing is complete, the system removes record reservation on the work orders so that another user or application can access the record to update information in the tables.

If you run the Work Order Issues for Style Items program for the child work orders of a master work order and the Work Order Inventory Issues (P31113), Work Order Completions (P31114), Component Scrap (P31116), Super Backflush (P31123), Hours and Quantities (P311221), or Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013) programs try to access the work order, then you receive a message that the file is locked. You must wait until the system releases the records to process them. However, you can view the records.

When a program that uses record reservation is interrupted, orphaned reservation records might remain in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). This can occur, for example, when technicians are working with a server, or when a workstation shuts down without warning. If an interruption stops one of the programs in the Work Order Issues for Style Items and Master Work Order Parts List for Style Items programs before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed.

Note: If you click the Cancel button on the Printer Selection form while running the program, then the master work order record remains locked by the system.

You can use the Remove Business Object Reservation program (P00095) to release unwanted record reservations. This program stores reservation information in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095).

You can also select Issues from the Row menu in the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) to issue material to a child style item work order.

If you use serialized components, then you issue the serialized components at the individual child style item work order level.

You can use the Work Order Processing for Style Items program (R31F410) to perform inventory issues at the master work order level when you use preflushing. If you perform preflushing, then you do not perform inventory issues at the child work order level.

You can backflush components by accessing the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) from the Manufacturing Work Order Processing (P48013), Work Order Completions (P31114), and Super Backflush (P31123) programs.

Note: The system does not support unplanned issues for master work orders.

You can reverse issues to a master work order using the Reversal option on the Row menu of the Master Work Order Parts List Details for Style Items form. When reversing a master work order issue, the system spreads the reversal back through all of the child work orders. The system performs reversals for partial issues, completions, and over issues.

If you issued a component across multiple locations and must perform a reverse issue, then the system spreads the entire quantity issued for that location based on the percentage that the quantity represents for each child work order. If the issued lot and location was not blank during the original issue and the quantity is reversed, then the lot and location remains the same in the parts list.

When you issue inventory to a master work order, the Work Order Issues for Style Items program generates a portable document format (PDF) file which specifies whether the batch completed successfully or ended with errors. If inventory issues to the child work orders completed normally, then the PDF indicates that the report completed with success. If inventory issues completed with errors, then the PDF indicates that errors occurred and to check the Work Center for messages. The report completes in error only when hard errors occur during inventory issues processing. Although warning messages may exist in the Work Center, the PDF indicates that the report completed successfully.
