Work Order and Rate Schedule Creation

You use the work order and rate schedule creation features to:

• Enter work orders or rate schedules manually.

• Create work orders and rate schedules automatically from MPS or MRP by answering action messages.

• Create work orders from the Sales Order Entry program (P4210), in which you can select kits for assemble-to-order products.

• Generate shop floor paperwork for rate schedules, including standard parts lists and routing instructions.

• Differentiate work orders and rate schedules by type, priority, and status.

• Group work orders by a parent number. For example, you can create job numbers that contain many work order numbers.

• Generate purchase orders for subcontracted operations on the routing instructions for work orders and rate schedules by running the Order Processing program (R31410).
