Opt Defaults (optional defaults)

These processing options specify the default values for the type of work order, priority, beginning status, and the cross-reference codes for the work order, and where the system retrieves the default value for the Charge to Business Unit field.

1. Work Order Type

Specify the default work order type associated with the work order. Enter a value from UDC 00/TY (Work Order/ECO Type) that identifies the type of work order.

2. Work Order Priority

Specify the default priority associated with the work order. Enter a value from UDC 00/PR (Work Order Priority) that identifies the priority of the document.

3. Beginning status

Specify the default beginning status code on the work order header. Enter a value from UDC 00/SS (Work Order Status) that identifies the status of the work order to use when a work order is created.

(Release 9.2 Update) If this field is left blank, the system retrieves the default beginning status value from the activity rules. To retrieve the beginning status value from the activity rules, ensure that the Activity Rules Processing option is selected in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009) and activity rules are created for the order types and work order types using the Work with Activity Rules program (P4826).

4. Charge to Business Unit

Specify whether the system uses the Project Number in the Business Unit Master table (F0006) or the branch/plant on the work order as the Charge to Business Unit. Values are:

1: Project number.

Blank: Branch/plant.

5. Cross Reference Code

Specify the default cross-reference code. Enter a value from UDC 41/DT (Cross Reference Type Code) that determines how the system retrieves item replacements for obsolete items.

When you enter an order containing an item that will be obsolete for the work order time frame, the system enables you to specify a replacement item if you set this processing option to R.

6. Create Parts List and Routing (Release 9.2 Update)

Specify whether to launch the Order Processing report (R31410) to attach parts list and routing. Enter 1 to launch R31410.

Note: Specify the version of R31410 on the Versions tab.

7. Bill Type (Release 9.2 Update)

Specify the bill type associated with the work order. Enter a value from UDC (40/TB) that is used to identify the Bill of Material type. If the processing option is left blank, the system uses the default Bill Type M.

8. Routing Type (Release 9.2 Update)

Specify the routing type associated with the work order. Enter a value from UDC (40/TR) that is used to identify the type of routing. If the processing option is left blank, the system uses the default Routing Type M.
