Understanding Issues, Material Movement, and Kanbans

Regardless of whether you use work orders or rate schedules for an item that you produce, you must send the required materials to the shop floor for production. You must also deduct the quantities that are issued to the shop floor from inventory through an issue transaction. Along with issue transactions, you can use a visual system such as: kanban processing to alleviate paperwork.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Accounting systems use issue transactions to determine the actual quantities of materials that are used in the production process according to the parts list for the work order or rate schedule.

Integration features

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system enables you to track materials between inventory or storage locations and the shop floor. You can manage inventory issues and commitments, complete orders, and track order quantities throughout the production process. The system enables you to issue material in two different units of measure, if dual units of measure are defined for the item in the Item Master program (P4101). When the item that you are issuing is a lot-controlled item, and the effective date of the lot is greater than the current date, the system issues a warning.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system enables you to originate picking requests through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing systems, which further enhances the automated method of tracking inventory movement within a warehouse.
