(Release 9.2 Update) Automatically Updating Freeze Code Using Work Order Activity Rules

For manufacturing work orders, you can automatically update the freeze code setting to Y by enabling the Lock Flag setting for the work order status defined in the activity rule. The Lock Flag in the Work Order Activity Rules program (P4826) determines if the work order is frozen at that status. Values to set the Lock Flag for a work order status are:

  • Blank - Do not lock or freeze the work order.

  • 1 - Freeze the work order (no lock)

  • 2 - Freeze and lock the work order (header only).

  • 3 - Freeze and lock the work order, parts list, and routing.
