Classification

Enter a code from the Work Order Priority (00/PR) UDC table that indicates the relative priority of a work order in relation to other orders.

Enter a code from the Geographic Region (17/GR) UDC table that indicates the geographic region of the customer.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Geographic Region field are not supported for manufacturing or tenant work orders.

Enter a code from the Work Order Flash Message (00/WM) UDC table that indicates a change in the status of a work order. The system indicates a changed work order with an asterisk in the appropriate report or inquiry form field. The system highlights the flash message in the Description field of the work order.

Enter the parent work order number.

Enter a code from the 48/SN UDC table that is assigned to a standard note, message, or general narrative explanation. You can use this code to add instructional information to a work order. You set up codes for this field in the Generic Message/Rate Types table (F00191).

Enter an alphanumeric value to use as a cross-reference or secondary reference number. Typically, this is the customer number, supplier number, or job number.

Enter a code from the Bill Type (40/TB) UDC table that designates the type of bill of material. You can define different types of bills of material for different uses. Examples of values are:

M: Standard manufacturing bill

RWK: Rework bill

SPR: Spare parts bill

The system enters bill type M in the work order header when you create a work order, unless you specify another bill type. The system reads the bill type code on the work order header to know which bill of material to use to create the work order parts list. MRP uses the bill type code to identify the bill of material to use when it attaches MRP messages. Batch bills of material must be type M for shop floor management, product costing, and MRP processing.

Note: For manufacturing work orders, if the Bill of Material Field processing option is blank in the version of the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) that you specified in the processing options of the Search for Work Orders program, the Type Bill of Material field is disabled and you cannot make changes to the value in the selected work orders.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Type Bill of Material field are not supported for tenant work orders.

Enter a code from the Routing Types (40/TR) UDC table that indicates the type of routing. You can define different types of routing instructions for different uses.

Examples of values are:

M: Standard Manufacturing Routing.

RWK: Rework Routing.

RSH: Rush Routing.

You define the routing type on the work order header. The system then uses the specific type of routing that you define in the work order routing.

Note: For manufacturing work orders, if the Routing Type Field processing option is blank in the version of the Manufacturing Work Order Processing program (P48013) that you specified in the processing options of the Search for Work Orders program, the Type of Routing field is disabled and you cannot make changes to the value in the selected work orders.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Type of Routing field are not supported for tenant work orders.

Enter a code from the UNCD (H00/UN) UDC table that indicates if the line on the order is frozen. MPS/MRP does not suggest changes to frozen orders. Valid values are:

Y: Yes, freeze the order.

N: No, do not freeze the order. N is the default value.

Note: Work order mass updates of the Freeze Code field are not supported for equipment, service, and tenant work orders.
