Understanding How to Attach Parts Lists Interactively

After you enter a work order header, you attach a parts list to it. You can either manually enter a custom parts list or copy a parts list from a bill of material or existing work order. You use the manual method to create the parts list, components, and quantities. You use the copy method when existing information exists that you want to copy.

After you attach the parts list to a work order header, you can:

Specify or change a substitute item or quantities from different locations.
Add or delete components.
Change quantities or other information on the parts list or select substitute items and their quantities on-hand when a component shortage is encountered.

To use substitute items or integrate with other JD Edwards EnterpriseOne systems, you should be familiar with the information in this table:

Topic	Description
Substitute items	To use substitute items, you must use a processing option for the Work Order Parts List program (P3111) to specify the substitute processing that you want to use. You can select one of these commitments: Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009). Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program, but use substitutes for shortages. Commit using the commitment control set in the Manufacturing Constants program, but use substitutes when the quantity available can compensate for the shortage. The Hard/Soft Commit option on the Manufacturing Constant Revisions form must indicate a Hard at Creation of Parts List setting for you to use substitutions. When the system encounters a component shortage, you can select the available substitutes and quantity. After you enter the information, the system adds the selected items and quantities to the parts list and deducts the equivalent quantity from the component.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management integration	If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management and generate a parts list, the system searches for inventory in the staging or work center location. If you did not define a staging or work center location, or if you did not locate inventory, the system generates a pick request. The pick request notifies you of the need for materials from the warehouse. After the system creates the pick request, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system processes instructions and creates suggestions for you to confirm. Then the system updates the parts list and increases the on-hand quantity for the To location and decreases the quantity on-hand for the From location. When you recreate the parts list, and the items are in the warehouse, these two actions can occur: The Work Order Print program (R31415) prints In Warehouse for all items with the correct material status code. The Order Processing program (R31410) prints a message indicating that a warehouse pick request already exists. The system does not generate a parts list.
