Routing

These processing options specify the default values that the system uses for the unit of measure, document type, line type beginning status, and so on.

1. Unit of Measure

Specify the default unit of measure to use for back scheduling on the routing instructions. Enter a value from UDC 00/UM (Unit of Measure) that identifies the unit of measure to use in the document.

2. Document Type

Specify the default document type associated with the purchase order for a subcontract routing. Enter a value from UDC 00/DT (Document Type) that identifies the origin and purpose of the document.

3. Line Type

Specify the default line type associated with the purchase order for a subcontract routing. Enter the line type to use as the default value or select it from the Line Type Search form.

4. Beginning Status

Enter the default beginning status associated with the purchase order for a subcontract routing. Enter a value from UDC 40/AT (Activity/Status Codes) that identifies the beginning status of the document.

5. Subledger Field

Specify whether the system enters the work order number into the Subledger field of the purchase order. Values are:

1: Enter.

Blank: Do not enter.

6. Batch Routing Processing

Specify whether to use batch routing processing. In batch routing processing, the logic searches for a routing that matches the work order quantity. If no match is found, the system uses the zero routing to extend the required hours. Values are:

1: Do not look for a batch routing.

Blank: Look for a batch routing.

7. Routing Text

Specify whether the system copies an operation's generic text to a routing.

Blank: Do not copy.

1: Copy.

8. Back Scheduling Queue and Move Hours

Specify the method that the system uses to backschedule queue hours in the work order routing. Values are:

Blank: Backschedule queue hours as a percentage of the resource units per day.

1: Backschedule queue hours as a percentage of the work hours per day.

9. Queue and Move Hours

Specify whether the system enters queue hours and move hours in the Work Order Routing program (P3112) from the work center when the queue hours and move hours are blank or zero in the standard routing from the Work With Routing Master program (P3003). Values are:

Blank: If queue hours and move hours are blank or zero in the standard routing, do not enter queue hours and move hours from the work center into the work order routing.

1: If queue hours and move hours are blank or zero in the standard routing enter the queue hours and move hours from the work center into the work order routing.

2: Enter queue hours and move hours from the work center into the work order routing only if a routing step or instruction has been manually added to the detail area of the work order routing.

10. Override Number of Employees/Machines to '1'

Specify whether the system overrides the work center's default number of employees or machines. The system override quantity is 1. Values are:

1: Override the number of employees or machines to 1.

Blank: Use the existing employees or machines from the work center.

11. Purchase Order Consolidation

Specify whether the system consolidates purchase order lines when processing single or multiple work orders. Values are:

Blank: Do not consolidate lines.

1: Consolidate lines for a single work order.

2: Consolidate lines for multiple work orders.

For example, if you set the processing option to 1 and run order processing for a single work order that contains two outside operations for the same supplier and branch/plant with a quantity of 10 on each line, then the system creates a single purchase order containing two lines with a quantity of 10 on each line.

If you set the processing option to 2 and run order processing for multiple work orders where each of the multiple work orders contain two outside operations for the same supplier and branch/plant with a quantity of 10 on each line, then the system creates a single purchase order containing two lines with a quantity of 10 on each line.

Work Order Start Date Update (Release 9.2 Update)

Use this processing option to update the work order start date with the start date of the first operation of the routing for the variable lead time. Values are:

Blank: Do not update the work order start date.

1: Update the work order start date.
