Manufacturing Constants

Backflush Options

Enter a code to determine how the system performs commitment and release of inventory. Values are:

1: Create a standard parts list based on the value in the Commitment Control field in the Manufacturing Constants table.

2: Create a parts list, committing to the location indicated in the Work Center Master File table (F30006). The Operation Sequence field in the Bill of Material Master File table (F3002) determines the work center that is used.

Note: You must create the work order routing before the parts list. If you are running the Work Order Generation program (R31410), you must set the Process tab, Parts List, and Routing Instructions processing option to 3 to generate the parts list and routing instructions at the same time.

If you define a consuming location on the routing instructions, this location overrides the consuming location defined in the F30006 table.

Status for Changes

Specify the status beyond which work orders and rates cannot be changed in the Line Scheduling and Line Sequencing Workbench programs.

(Release 9.2 Update) WO Activity Rules Processing (Work Order Activity Rules Processing)

Specify whether activity rule processing is enabled for the selected branch plant. Values are:

Y: Yes, activity rule processing is enabled for this branch plant.

N: No, activity rule processing is not enabled for this branch plant.

On-Line BOM Validation (on-line bill of material validation)

Specify whether the system performs an online component or parent validation and low-level code assignment when you revise a bill of material.

It is recommended that you validate items online unless the bills of material are extremely large. If you select not to validate items online, you must validate the items in batch. Run the Integrity Analysis program (R30601) after updates to the bill of material and before you run the Item Cost Component - Frozen Update program (R30835) or perform the DRP/MPS/MRP Generation program (R3482).

To specify that the system validates items online, click the On-Line BOM Validation option under the BOM/Routing Options heading. If you do not click the On-Line BOM Validation option, the system does not validate items online.

Log Bill of Material

Specify whether changes to the bill of material are recorded in the Bill of Material Change File table (F3011). When you log bill of material changes, the system saves the old bill of material and the new, changed bill of material. To record changes to the bill of material, click the Log Bill of Material option under the BOM/Routing Options heading.

Master Routings

Specify whether the system uses the master routing for an item or a routing defined for the parent item. Both routings are retrieved from the Routing Master table (F3003).

If you select to check for master routings, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system checks the Item Cross Reference table (F4104), cross-reference type MR, for the parent item. If it finds a cross-reference, the program uses the master routing from table F3003. If it does not find a cross-reference, the system uses the routing defined for the parent item. If you do not select to check for master routings, the program uses the parent item's routing from table F3003.

To specify that the system checks for cross-references and uses a master routing for the item, click the Master Routings option under the BOM/Routing Options heading.
