Scale Process Manufacturing Work Orders Using a REST API

Some process manufacturers need the production flexibility to adjust work order quantities in response to changes in material availability or customer demand prior to manufacturing execution. For example, you need to scale up or scale down the input and output quantities of a batch based on the on-hand availability of a critical ingredient. 

With this update, you can scale a process manufacturing work order in the unreleased status using a REST API. You can scale a process work order based on the operation item or operation output quantity, and the scaling can be based on either percentage or quantity. The quantities are automatically recalculated proportionally based on a target input item, or output item. If the scheduling method is Default scheduling, then the work order is rescheduled based on the scaled batch quantity.

Scaling of process manufacturing work orders using a REST API provides the flexibility to dynamically adjust production quantities without manual recalculation before work order release to execution.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

• You can scale an unreleased process manufacturing work order using the Edit Work Order UI in the classic user experience.
• You can also use the existing processWorkOrders REST API for scaling the process work order based on the batch quantity.
