Understanding Process Work Order Completion

When you finish producing a process item on the shop floor, you need to record the completions to inventory. The completion transactions that you enter in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management system update the ingredient quantity records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system.

You use the Super Backflush (P31123) or Work Order Completions (P31114) programs to report completions. Use these programs to perform one of these two functions:

  • Report all co-products and by-products as complete after the entire work order is complete

  • Report partial completions as they occur throughout the production process

The point at which you select to report completions depends on the process, the co-products and by-products that it produces, and the production cycle time. Depending on the nature of the manufactured item, you can report partial completions or report total completions in one transaction. When you report partial completions, you can also indicate the stage or progress that is being made on an order in production and identify any delays in the production process.

When you use the Work Order Completions program to complete more than the quantity ordered, the system highlights the Completed Quantity field and warns you that completing the quantity that you designated will generate an over-completion.

When a previous completion exists for a work order, the system displays information in the lot, grade or potency, and status fields. Also, when you enter a quantity, the system adds inventory to the lot at the grade or potency and the current status. The Work With Work Order Completions form displays completed and scrapped quantities and percent complete information for a work order.

You can perform full or partial process order completions without or without backflushing the ingredients. When you use backflushing, you report the issue transactions for ingredients that you use in a process after the co-products and by-products of the process are produced. For backflush to occur, the ingredient must be set up with an issue code that enables backflushing.

When you set a completions threshold in the processing option, the system updates the Update Status field on the Work Order Completion Detail form according to the threshold rules. When you use lot control, you can also specify a default value for the completion lot number, such as the work order number or the associated sales order number. You can override the default value on the form.
