Report Ad hoc Outputs During Work Order Execution in Discrete Manufacturing
Discrete manufacturing processes sometimes involve production of more than one output at the end of an operation. For example, cutting multiple sheets of metal from a larger sheet, or capturing a by-product while making the main product which can be sold as a separate item. The completion of primary product and reporting of rejected quantity or disposal of scrap was allowed. However, for scenarios involving multiple outputs, these additional outputs need to be reported into inventory as supply, as reusable material for subsequent work orders or recoverable scrap sold as a separate item.
With this new update, you can now report additional co-products and by-products as ad hoc outputs during the execution of an operation, for standard, discrete manufacturing work orders. An ad hoc output can be reported as an output completion transaction into a specified completion subinventory from the Review Dispatch List page. You can use the output reverse transaction to correct the output completion transaction. This capability is also available through File-Based Data Import (FBDI), ADFdi data import correction, and REST web service. The ad hoc output completions will use a fixed cost that is set up in the Manage Standard Costs page. The primary product is reported along with the operation completion transaction at the last operation.
Reporting Ad Hoc Output at a Discrete Work Order Operation
File-Based Data Import (FBDI) Changes:
The FBDI Discrete Manufacturing Work Order Material Transactions Import, WorkOrderMaterialTransactionTemplate.xlsm, has been enhanced to enable reporting of ad hoc outputs in count point in-house operations for standard work orders. The Transaction Type Code column in Material Transaction Header worksheet will show two new values PRODUCT_COMPLETION and PRODUCT_RETURN for reporting output completions and output returns. Use the latest FBDI template after the 24B update.
You can reverse the reported outputs to correct any errors. The transactions reported through FBDI that failed validations can be corrected and resubmitted through ADFdi.
REST API Changes:
You can now report outputs for standard discrete manufacturing work order operations using the Work Order Material Transactions REST API.
Discrete manufacturers will achieve accurate recovery and valuation of scrap or any unplanned outputs, leading to maximum value realization from items produced.
Steps to Enable
Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.
Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management No Longer Optional From: Update 24D
Tips And Considerations
- Ad hoc negative component quantities can't be reported as outputs. For more information about negative material transactions, refer to the 23C feature Remove a Component During Discrete Manufacturing Work Execution.
- Ad hoc outputs are generally unplanned outputs and aren't considered in supply planning.
- Outputs can be optionally enabled as lot or serial-controlled to support product genealogy.
